About This Perfume
Riiffs Imperial Noir smells like creamy vanilla and amber warmed by spiced herbs and earthy patchouli. Dark, smooth and confident.
Clary sage, bergamot and pink pepper open it with an aromatic, peppery lift. The heart is patchouli and myrrh, earthy and softly resinous. Vanilla, tonka bean and amber make up the base, creamy and warm, which is where the scent spends most of its time on skin.
This 2023 eau de parfum leans masculine and is a night scent for spring, fall and winter, for casual evenings. Longevity is moderate, and it projects to about arm's length, noticeable to people close by without filling the room.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone who wants a warm vanilla-amber with an aromatic, herbal opening.
- Sample first if: patchouli and myrrh tend to feel too earthy or medicinal on you.
- Skip if: you want a fresh, fruity or daytime scent.
At around $90, a sample first is the sensible move if you are unsure about the herbal opening.
Around $90.

The Brand
Riiffs
Riiffs' 87-perfume catalogue on Scendira is Scendira's most gender-balanced brand of any real size: 38% unisex, 33% masculine, 29% feminine, none dominating. Woody (29 perfumes) and citrus (28) lead the accords, with amber (25), sweet (22), and vanilla (21) close behind, and vanilla is the top individual note, in 42 of the 87 perfumes, followed by musk in 37 and amber in 33. Prices span the widest range on Scendira for a mid-large brand, $19 to $119.99, median $49.99, so budget and prestige-priced pieces sit side by side. Zenith is the most-discussed perfume by community mentions (80), closely followed by Freeze (76), both well ahead of the rest of the catalogue.
