Best Zenith by Riiffs Perfumes Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

Perfumer: Julien Plos

The charming and playful dancer warms up before her debut. Talented and passionate she radiates confidence and anticipation. Deliciously, exciting and unexpected. Sweet almond and ripe cherries contrast with sandalwood and vanilla for a floral, sweet and woody intensity. 

“Bain de minuit” is French for “skinny dipping”, and what could be more decadent than a midnight splash au natural in a giant vat of strawberries, cherries and vanilla? The initial fruity-tootiness gives way to a tough ‘n’ tropical accord of monoï oil and leather, with jasmine and praline singing the high and low harmonies.

Gratia Aestiva is Latin for “summer grace”, and this extrait is an absolute abundance of sundrunk fruit. Punchy pineapple, melon and strawberry wave a big HELLO right out of the bottle, while passion fruit, with its tangy, grapefruit bite, tempers the sweetness with rawness. Indian jasmine adds floral fullness on a spiced bed of coriander and ambered woods. On the right side of too much.

Yawahada is a perfume that triggers the unconscious, a sensual scent inspired by Yasunari Kawabataʼs novel, "The House of the Sleeping Beauties" A milky cloud of pear and rice powder float the warming base of amber and sandalwood enticingly around you — and around anyone else in your orbit.

Light, sand, dreams of faraway places. This creamy tropical floral is built around insinuating jasmine sambac and tiare, fleshed out with coconut and vanilla. A sun lotion accord conjures bare skin gleaming on the beach, while sandalwood lends comfortable milkiness.

Circa 1900, the cook for the governor of Queensland was in a jam. Asked to rustle up a dessert for last-minute guests, he improvised by cutting up day-old vanilla sponge into squares, then rolling them in chocolate and coconut. The guests were impressed, and “Lord Lamington” went from being a governor to an Australian culinary tradition, and now to a perfume. This edp features the treat’s strawberry, cream, coconut and chocolate, tempered by the crisp aromatics of bergamot and clary sage. The amber drydown lets you know you’re wearing a perfume and not a cake.

The scent of rice,
fills my empty stomach,

Sticky rice and earthy-sweet red bean paste combine in an aroma profile reminiscent of popcorn. An understated strawberry permeates this comforting gourmand, enriched by vanilla and a touch of brown sugar.

Perfumer: Philippine Courtere

Irisation or cloud iridescence is a colorful optical phenomenon that occurs in clouds lit by sun or moon disks behind. The pattern resembles a chaotic dance of a rainbow on a soap bubble.

This seems to be the logic of the perfume formula: iridescent jasmine with swirls of red strawberry, ochre praline, ambery vanilla, green bergamot, cool iononic rose and violet blackcurrant 

A technicolour tropical bouquet of gardenia, tiare and ylang ylang. A happy dance accompanied by coconut and vanilla, with a little musk cha-cha-cha. 

Fruit punch with emphasis on the PUNCH. Scratchy-sweet pineapple joins forces with crisp green apple and rich mango for a tropical explosion. Before the dust settles, soft almond and coconut infuse the floral and woody haze.
