Passion RivieraFruity Floral Extrait de Parfum

Passion Riviera by Place de la Rêverie is a fruity-floral-woody extrait de parfum, unisex, created by Nathalie Feisthauer. The house describes it as the captivating chiaroscuro of a sunset on the Côte d'Azur.

A fine fragrance house born from a vision

Place de la Rêverie presents itself as a fine fragrance house born from a passion for this invisible treasure. It summarizes its method in one sentence: “it always begins with a vision, an emotion that is simply waiting to be translated” — it is about capturing the invisible, giving form to what is experienced but left unsaid. To achieve this, it says it carefully selects a master perfumer: the three extraits in the Voyage Onirique collection are the work of Nathalie Feisthauer, one of France's leading independent noses. Founded in Paris in 2023, the house claims a restrained luxury: extraits with a very high concentration of around 30%, glass bottles hand-polished in a French glassworks, and intentionally limited distribution. Its founder summarizes it thus: luxury is about dreams and desirability.

An opening of pear, orange blossom, and heliotrope

The pear opens with a juicy, fleshy fruit, orange blossom brings its honeyed whiteness, and heliotrope adds a powdery, slightly almond-like note. The opening is radiant and immediately seductive, without ever becoming sweet.

A heart of jasmine and Damask rose

Jasmine and Damask rose form a full, luminous bouquet. The house says that these white flowers, together with orange blossom, infuse the fragrance with the magic of the first moments — the beginning of a story woven in the streets of the South.

A base of Vietnamese oud, vanilla absolute, tonka bean, and musk

Vietnamese oud — agarwood, which the house describes as precious — establishes the fragrance's darker side. Vanilla absolute and tonka bean soften it, while musk brings it to a close with a skin-like effect. The longevity is that of a highly concentrated extrait.

The house's approach

The theme of the fragrance is contrast, and the house puts it precisely: the freshness of fruit and orange blossom against the dark notes of precious agarwood; the radiance of white flowers against the intensity of woods. It is the fusion of day and night, that moment when the night stars quietly enter the blue of the horizon. Oud is almost never used in this way — beneath a radiant bouquet rather than at the center of an oriental composition.

For whom, and for what occasions?

For those who love radiant fragrances but want them with real substance, and for those seeking a wearable oud for daytime. It is a fragrance from spring to autumn, for day or evening, with very long-lasting wear and a broad trail. Passion Riviera Place de la Rêverie is for those who want both sun and shadow in the same bottle.
