Do you remember that last year I got to go to Deauville, on the Orient Express? There we celebrated the new life of three Chanel fragrances. Fragrances named after locations that held a special place in Gabrielle Chanel's life. Deauville, the fashionable seaside resort where she opened her first boutique, Biarritz, the place where she spread her empire across the world and experienced the happiest period with her beloved Arthur, Boy, Capel. Venice finally, the city where she mourned the loss of her love and drew strength from the beauty around her.

Because Gabrielle is more than three locations, the repertoire had to be expanded. Riviera is the newest addition to the family. Also born from the mind of Olivier Polge, the nose of Chanel. Olivier blended orange peel, jasmine, citrus fruits, and sandalwood and saw, or rather: smelled that it was good. And it was.
