Produced in France, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. French Line Revillon unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.

As soon as the fragrance opens you meet invigorating sunny top notes: Basil, Bergamot, Coriander and Lemon.
In the heart you detect Caraway, Clove, Iris, Jasmine and Rose keeping a harmonious floral direction.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Fruit forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Musc, Wood, Powdery and Amber enrich the profile without taking over. The gender direction is masculine, which clarifies the composition character.
