Citrus fruits such as lemon, bergamot and mandarin have always been used by perfumers to create invigorating, clear fragrances. The tangy aroma of citrus fruits instantly awakens the senses and evokes the warmth of Mediterranean landscapes. Zeste Riviera captures precisely this citrus freshness and transports us to the Mediterranean summer realms. The eau de parfum starts with volatile, tangy, fresh citrus notes of lemon, bergamot and mandarin. The floral, sensual heart of neroli (the oil of the orange blossom) and jasmine then unfolds on a warm base of white musk and blond wood. The musky base gives the fragrance a depth that is rare for Hesperides fragrances. Zeste Riviera is a summery but structured composition that is both invigorating and sensual.

Panier des Sens created their first perfumes in Sault, a small village in the Vaucluse region, surrounded by lush lavender fields – some claim they are the most beautiful in Provence. The Mediterranean Sea, landscape, and flora contribute to the family-owned company’s inspiration for creating fragrances. The scents are fresh creations of uncomplicated and light character, made from natural extracts and essential oils sourced from the region. The formulations come from Perfumers in Grasse, and Panier des Sens produces its scents in the tradition-steeped town near the French Riviera according to the classical artistry of perfumery.
