Extreme Story La Rive, unveiled in 2018, is classified as a masculine fragrance, rooted in the fern family. An eau de toilette — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
The birthplace of this fragrance — Poland, a place with a refined nose. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
A scent you'll want to wear again and again — discovering something new every time. The official website of La Rive — http://www.sergiotacchini.com.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Extreme Story is shaped as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of La Rive is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
The internal accord map is built around these accords: Aromatic, Abstract, Citrus and Floral forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Wood, Leather, Spicy and Mineral expand the olfactory volume in the background.
Right at the start you detect sparkling citrus top notes: Bergamot and Fresh Notes.
When the opening settles you meet Cardamom, Geranium, Lavender, Peony and Rose carrying a harmonious floral direction.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Citrus, Fairy, Spicy and Floral. The palette also extends to Green, Balsamic, Leather and Wood.
In summary Extreme Story holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best experienced through real development.
