The emotional statement to Freedom.
The perfume was inspired by walks along the fast flowing and vibrant River Thames in London.
Passing by leafy, graceful London iconic plane (platanus) trees arcing over the river with spherical fruits on strings, induce the emotional connection with Nature.
The large white Chrysanthemum plays the main character in the composition.
Feeling protected, loved, connected.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Riverwalk suits a close, reflective setting where the air still feels damp and green: a slow walk beside water, a quiet commute, a moment of solitude before the day gathers pace. It projects calm distance first, then a softer, more intimate presence.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, where its citrus-green opening and mossy base can stay crisp without turning heavy. Apply moderately; as an extrait, it will read clearly with one or two sprays and settle close enough to feel personal, while still leaving a cool green trace in the air.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like green chypres, floral compositions with structure, and a fragrance that feels natural rather than decorative. It will appeal to those drawn to bitter citrus, moss, fir balsam and a slightly austere, contemplative mood.

The nose
Eglija Vaitkevice is the founder and perfumer behind Exaltatum, an independent London house shaped by a fine-art sensibility and a strong narrative approach. Trained at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery, she works with materials and contrasts to build fragrances that feel personal, textured and emotionally specific. Her style in Riverwalk follows that signature: green, chypre-like structure, a clear sense of place, and a restrained opening that gradually reveals warmth. The composition reflects her interest in memory, nature and atmosphere rather than simple note display.
Collaborators
Eglija Vaitkevice, as founder and perfumer, appears to have led both the concept and the formula, translating her own Thames-side memories into the fragrance’s green chypre structure and chrysanthemum-led heart.
Exaltatum’s story
Exaltatum is built around the idea of fragrance as a personal, elevated story: thoughtful, artisanal and rooted in beauty, history and nature. The house emphasizes hand-finished production and carefully chosen materials, with each scent treated as an intimate expression rather than a mass-market formula.
Riverwalk’s concept
Riverwalk was inspired by solitary walks along the River Thames in London, when the city felt quiet and the plane trees, river air and movement of water created a sense of protection and connection. The fragrance frames that memory through a green floral chypre structure, with chrysanthemum at the center and a cool, riverbank freshness around it.
Extra info
Riverwalk is an extrait de parfum and remains in production. Its note structure places chrysanthemum at the heart, with oakmoss and coumarin giving the drydown a classic chypre frame. The name and concept are tied directly to the River Thames in London.
