Riccardo
Riccardo by Mazzolari is a green musky floral built around rose, white flowers, powder, musk and patchouli. The opening can feel sharp and slightly acetone-like, so it is best sampled on skin before judging it too quickly. Once past that first bite, it reads cleaner, floral, long-lasting and a little feminine-leaning, with spring and summer daytime wear making the most sense.

Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
Riccardo is best understood as a green musky floral with a fresh rose and bergamot opening, a white floral heart of gardenia, tuberose, peony and jasmine, and a powdery white musk base touched by patchouli. It may feel bright and sharp at first, then cleaner, more floral and more powdery as it settles.
Main Accords
13 MAPPEDThe white floral accord leads, with gardenia, tuberose and jasmine giving Riccardo its main body. Rose and powder soften the floral brightness, while bergamot and lychee add a fresh, lightly fruity lift. White musk keeps the dry-down clean, and patchouli gives a small earthy-woody base without turning the fragrance dark.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Riccardo Mazzolari Review”
Riccardo by Mazzolari is officially a fragrance for women and men, but the evidence points to a scent that will speak most clearly to floral lovers. Its structure is bright at the top, heavily floral through the heart, then clean, powdery and musky in the base. The note list promises bergamot, rose and lychee first, followed by gardenia, tuberose, peony and jasmine, with white musk, patchouli and powdery notes underneath.
On skin, the most useful clue comes from the supplied wearer review: green musky floral. That phrase fits the accord pattern well. Riccardo does not read like a simple rose scent or a creamy tuberose alone. It seems to sit in a fresh, green, slightly polished floral space, with enough musk and powder to keep the flowers clean rather than syrupy.
The opening is the risky part. The same reviewer who liked it also mentioned an acetone-smelling start, which is important buyer information. If you often struggle with sharp white florals, nail-polish-remover brightness, or green chemical edges, the first spray may challenge you. Riccardo may need time before its more attractive floral-musk side becomes clear.
The heart is where the perfume should make the most sense. Gardenia, tuberose, peony and jasmine give it a white floral center with a rosy floral frame from the top. Lychee can add a juicy, lightly sweet lift, while bergamot keeps the first impression fresher. The result likely feels more spring and summer than cold-weather cozy, and more daytime polished than evening dramatic.
Performance looks like one of Riccardo's stronger points. The available longevity votes are very high, and the reviewer says it lasts forever. Projection evidence is more restrained, split between intimate and moderate, so this may be a fragrance that stays on fabric or skin for a long time without always broadcasting loudly.
Riccardo is a try-before-buy fragrance unless your taste already lines up with green musky florals. It has attractive materials for someone who enjoys rose, tuberose, jasmine, powder and musk, but its sharper opening and feminine floral lean make it less universally safe than the unisex label might suggest. If the first minutes work for you, the long-lasting floral dry-down could be the reward.
FAQs
What does Riccardo by Mazzolari smell like?+
Riccardo smells like a green musky floral with rose, lychee, bergamot, gardenia, tuberose, peony and jasmine over white musk, patchouli and powdery notes. The strongest impression is floral, powdery, fresh and musky.
Is Riccardo more feminine or masculine?+
Riccardo is listed as unisex, but the available wearer feedback says it may lean a bit feminine because of the floral emphasis. People who enjoy white florals, rose and powdery musks are the most likely fit.
How does Riccardo open?+
The opening brings bergamot, rose and lychee, but the one supplied review notes a sharp, acetone-like edge at first. That makes the first few minutes potentially divisive, especially if you dislike solvent-like brightness in florals.
What does Riccardo dry down to?+
The dry-down is based on white musk, patchouli and powdery notes. In wear, that suggests a cleaner musky floral finish with some earthy depth from patchouli rather than a heavy sweet base.
Is Riccardo long lasting?+
The available performance votes point to very strong longevity, and the supplied review says it lasts forever. Because the evidence is limited, it is safest to read this as a fragrance that can last a long time on some wearers.
Does Riccardo project strongly?+
The sillage evidence is split between intimate and moderate. That suggests Riccardo may last well without necessarily filling a room, though skin, climate and spray amount will matter.
When is Riccardo best worn?+
The seasonal votes point toward spring and summer, with one daytime vote. Its fresh floral and musky character makes the most sense in daytime wear, especially if you want something polished but not dark or heavy.
Is Riccardo a safe blind buy?+
Sampling first is sensible. The floral musk profile is approachable if you already like green white florals, but the opening has been described as acetone-like, which could be a deal-breaker for some buyers.
Does Riccardo smell powdery?+
Yes, powder is one of the main accord signals and also appears in the base notes. It should be expected as part of the musky floral dry-down rather than as a purely cosmetic powder scent.
Is Riccardo similar to V Canto Ensis or Infinite Definite?+
One reviewer says Riccardo has a similar vibe to V Canto Ensis and Infinite Definite, while also saying they are not dupes. Treat those as loose direction markers, not direct replacements.
