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 - Coriandre Eau de Parfum

Coriandre is a polarising, unapologetically '70s green chypre. Definitely not for the gourmand crowd, but if you're after a sophisticated, timeless scent that stands out, this affordable gem might just be your new obsession.

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.
