This product is a finalist in the category Fragrance: Personal & Home of Cosmoprof 2026
Product Description (Function, Benefits, and Target Consumer)
Noor Riviera by Sentier is an alcohol-free formulation that uses water as its main solvent. This allows for the creation of a hypo-allergenic fragrance, reducing the risk of skin dryness or an allergic reaction. Additionally, the water-based formula offers a cooling and hydrating effect on the skin, so wearing the fragrance feels fresh throughout the day. The scent itself is inspired by a Mediterranean sunset. Its composition opens with delicate, sweet notes of apple flowers, before revealing a heart of jasmine and gardenia, while the base captures comforting notes of patchouli, adding depth and complexity, with a hint of sugar for sweetness that lingers on the skin. The scent is presented in a lilac-toned outer box, crafted to evoke the Mediterranean mood, too.

Product Innovation
Noor Riviera stands out in the competitive fragrance market for its alcohol free formulation making it a unique offering for consumers. Unlike typical perfumes that use alcohol or oil as a carrier Noor Riviera is powered by water as the main solvent. The absence of alcohol makes this fragrance hypoallergenic reducing the risk of dryness redness or allergic reactions that can be common with traditional alcohol based perfumes. While water-based perfumes might seem light at first, their fragrance lingers pleasantly without becoming overpowering, offering a long-lasting freshness without the need for reapplication.

Technology Features
The transportative concept of Sentier Fragrance is not just embodied in the scents themselves, but is also thoughtfully reflected in the packaging design of each fragrance, including Noor Riviera. At Sentier Fragrance, we believe that a fragrance is not just something you wear—it’s a journey. From the moment you encounter the scent to the first spray, the experience should transport you to another world. Noor Riviera is no exception. The fragrance is an embodiment of the Mediterranean spirit, inspired by the sun-drenched coastlines, vibrant florals, and the serenity of the sea. But the journey doesn’t end with the scent itself; it extends into the packaging, which is crafted to be as transportative as the fragrance inside.
