RIVERSIDE DRIVE

Before Riverside Drive became the iconic boulevard it is today, it was a cliff overlooking the Hudson River. In the 19th century, it transformed into a winding road lined with grand apartment buildings and stately mansions. Unlike Fifth or Park Avenue, Riverside Drive offered something unique: expansive views of the Hudson River with New Jersey stretching in the distance. From this vantage point, Manhattan feels like its own self-contained island, a world apart, with the American continent just beyond the river. Tree-lined and historic, Riverside Drive developed a reputation as a home for families, many with artistic, scholarly, and theatrical backgrounds, with Columbia University close by. Today, it remains a liberal-minded neighborhood with an off-the-mainstream character.

The man who embodies Riverside Drive is confident, cultured, and independent. He thrives in the city’s fast-paced environment, follows global news through Bloomberg and the BBC, and dresses impeccably in Paul Stuart suits. He has achieved success on his own terms and exudes quiet sophistication.

Riverside Drive is a classic men’s fragrance with a modern twist. The composition balances traditional herbal, woody, and mossy notes, including basil, cedarwood, and oakmoss. Contemporary aqua accords of water fruit, violet, and pineapple add a fresh, crisp dimension. Finally, patchouli and sandalwood provide warmth and sensuality, making this fragrance a refined expression of Manhattan elegance.
