Which Should You Buy?
If you're after a clean, sophisticated, soapy scent that exudes timeless elegance without screaming for attention, Ivoire is an absolute gem. A real love-it-or-hate-it for some; for others, it's a classy office staple that evokes pure comfort. Prepare to search for it, though - this beauty's been cruelly discontinued.
Riverside Drive is a wildly divisive scent - some hail it as a unique, refined take on a fresh fougere, while others find its strong herbal notes jarring. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, particularly for those unaccustomed to prominent basil and oakmoss alongside fruit.
