Rivendare 1747 — a mineral fragrance with character
Rivendare 1747 is a unisex perfume from the Australian brand Rivendare, released in 2024.
It is a rare example of a fragrance built around a concise yet expressive idea: combining a mineral aesthetic with the deep animalic accent of grey ambergris.
The fragrance is presented in a perfume, or extrait, concentration.
This positioning immediately gives it a dense, rich character, while its very powerful sillage makes Rivendare 1747 noticeable even when applied sparingly.
The composition is marketed as unisex and intended for those who appreciate unusual, prestigious and unconventional perfumery choices.
The perfumer and the composition’s style
Rivendare 1747 was created by perfumer David Clarke.
Gold and grey ambergris lie at the heart of the formula — notes that create not a classic floral or fruity impression, but a more abstract sensation of cool mineral, precious texture and natural depth.
Here, gold is perceived primarily as an image and a texture: a radiant, smooth, almost metallic facet.
Grey ambergris adds sensuality and a pronounced animalic undertone, allowing the fragrance to unfold with volume and layers rather than sounding flat.
However, the exact sequence in which the top, middle and base notes develop has not been specified, so it is more accurate to perceive the fragrance as a cohesive mineral-animalic composition.
Wearability and sillage
Rivendare 1747 will appeal to those looking for a perfume with a strong presence and an instantly recognisable character.
Its very powerful sillage calls for careful dosing: the manufacturer has not specified a precise recommended number of sprays for skin and clothing, so it is best to start with a minimal application and assess the development on your own skin.
The extrait is particularly suitable for cool weather, evenings and occasions when you want to emphasise your individuality.
Its mineral profile may look especially striking with an urban, evening or intellectually minimalist style.
No other concentrations of Rivendare 1747 are listed in the available data.
Similar fragrances
For comparison, consider Tiziana Terenzi Casanova, as well as Mancera Jardin Exclusif and Tom Ford Oud Minerale.
They offer an opportunity to explore different facets of rich, textured and expressive perfumery, although Rivendare 1747 retains its distinctive character thanks to the pairing of gold and grey ambergris.
