Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - La Collection Rive Gauche
A legendary barbershop fougère, Rive Gauche is divisive only among its most ardent fans fretting over reformulations. For the uninitiated, this is a timeless, classy scent, a benchmark for masculine elegance, albeit with some inconsistent performance across batches. If you want expensive shaving cream in a bottle, look no further.
