LIFE’S A


BEACH
Like a dive into the Côte d’Azur,
but make it perfumed. ‘Everything
is transformed by the warm, balmy
air,’ says Veronique Gabai-Pinsky,
whose breezy and elegant scents are
bottled love letters to the French
Riviera. ‘The heat captures the
fragrances of nature in a different
way, intensifying the minerality of
rocks and sand and dulling the white
flowers, as if the sun were muting
certain things and highlighting
others. Bare skin is everywhere,
tanned and golden, enhanced by
creams and oils and refreshed
by the sea, while the marine breeze
brings the soothing effect of the
laurel bushes. It’s a magical
sensation.’ In Riviera-inspired
scents, the white flower is usually
jasmine, but always soft, without the
heavy, waxy quality those blooms
can have. There will be salt, too,
and often musk or pale, dry wood.
With pomelo citrus instead of floral
notes, Atelier Cologne’s Patchouli
Riviera is as crisp and cool as an
oversized white shirt – definitely one
to throw on with your one-piece.
