How far Riviera Drive spreads
Its sillage is medium. People near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Dior Eau Sauvage Extreme Intense and Dior Fahrenheit spread further.
How long Riviera Drive stays on skin
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Parfums De Marly Sedley and Dior Eau Sauvage Extreme Intense last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like cedar and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
