About Riggs Novus
Riggs Novus is an Eau de Parfum for men from the British brand Riggs, launched in 2025.
The composition blends spicy, floral and oriental motifs, creating an expressive, rich profile with noticeable depth and a striking character.
This fragrance is built on contrasts: a fresh citrus burst meets spicy nuances, while soft floral notes merge with dense balsamic, woody, leathery and gourmand accords.
As a result, Novus does not come across as a light everyday cologne, but as a confident olfactory statement for those who enjoy making a noticeable impression.
Character and mood
Riggs Novus will appeal to men who enjoy warm oriental compositions with spicy energy and a soft, sensual trail.
It has a composed, elegant quality, yet the fragrance does not feel overly formal: floral undertones soften the rich base and make the overall impression more supple.
In mood, it evokes a cool evening, a leather armchair, subdued lighting and an unhurried conversation.
It unfolds especially well in autumn and winter, as well as in cool spring weather, when the rich balsamic and woody accords sound fuller.
Sillage and application
Riggs Novus is described as having very strong sillage, so the composition is designed to unfold in a noticeable, expressive way.
This is not a fragrance that stays exclusively close to the skin: when applying it, it is important to consider the space, temperature and length of contact with those around you.
The precise dosage for application to skin and clothing is not specified in the available information.
For a comfortable introduction, it is best to start with a minimal number of sprays, assess the fragrance’s development after a few minutes and then increase the intensity if necessary; on fabric, the Eau de Parfum may last longer and unfold more intensely.
Concentration and place in the brand’s style
Riggs Novus is presented in an Eau de Parfum concentration.
There is no information in the database about other concentrations of this fragrance, whether it belongs to a separate collection or the perfumer who created it, so comparing it with Eau de Toilette or Extrait versions would be inaccurate.
For Riggs, a British fragrance brand, this release appears to be a confident take on a rich oriental-spicy aesthetic.
It is distinguished by the combination of a bright opening, floral softness and a dense base, making the fragrance feel modern, sensual and quite daring at the same time.
Similar fragrances
If you are interested in rich compositions with an oriental mood, leathery-balsamic depth and noticeable sillage, Yves Saint Laurent Opium is worth exploring.
As additional options to discover, you might consider Yves Saint Laurent Opium Collector's Edition (2008) and Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb La Vie En Rose 2016 — both share an expressive, multilayered presentation, although each fragrance has its own distinctive development.
Riggs Novus is well suited to evening outings, special occasions and situations when you want to make a statement without any additional accessories.
Before purchasing a full-size bottle, it is worth testing the fragrance on your skin: spicy, floral and oriental notes can change noticeably depending on body temperature and individual skin chemistry.
