The house of Richard Hudnut gifted the world with La Reve in 1904. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the citrus family.
Behind this fragrance stands the United States and its rich perfumery heritage. La Reve Richard Hudnut unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
Sometimes the best decision of the day is a press of the atomiser. The official website of Richard Hudnut — https://www.stradivarius.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 rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of La Reve unfolds as an expressive line of development, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The style of Richard Hudnut is recognizable from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Citrus. At family level the composition sits in Citrus.
Without strict stage separation the notes arrive together with a glittering citrus mood: Citrus accord. In this format 1 note works as one voice, creating a sensation of cool purity that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The heart and base are perceived as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Citrus without random overlap. The profile is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Overall La Reve holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best experienced on skin.
