Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rive Gauche Eau de Toilette

This isn't just a perfume, it's a statement. Bold, metallic, and unapologetically cool, Rive Gauche is divisive for some, but a timeless masterpiece for those who dare to embrace its icy, sophisticated charm. Prepare for compliments - and perhaps some confused looks.

Our Verdict - Exit The King Eau de Parfum

This is a clean-cut chypre with a divisive, almost startlingly retro opening that mellows into a surprisingly complex, modern clean scent. Some find it a bit too old-school or even unpleasant, but for those who get it, it's a unique and addictive 'luxe soap' experience.

Often described as a 'powerhouse' with good longevity, Rive Gauche is best suited for scenarios where its commanding presence can shine. While it can be worn casually, its sophisticated, almost 'serious' character makes it a strong contender for office and formal wear, provided it's applied judiciously. Opinions are split on whether it's too much, but many found it suitable for all occasions, even sports.

Its clean, fresh character makes it ideal for everyday and casual wear, even in warmer climates, as many reviewers attest. While it can be quite strong initially, it dries down to a pleasant scent suitable for office environments, though perhaps not for formal events where its prominent 'soap' accord might feel out of place.
