LA RIVE Brutal Classic Intense is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015. Brutal Classic Intense opens with Citrus, Lavender, and Grass, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Geranium, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. LA RIVE's Brutal Classic Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This one's a proper old-school belter, a polarizing scent that unapologetically screams classic masculinity. If you're after a modern crowd-pleaser, look elsewhere. For those who appreciate a rugged, no-nonsense aroma, it's a bargain worth seeking out.

About

Opens with an invigorating burst of citrus and fresh grass, intertwined with aromatic lavender. This quickly mellows into a warm, spicy heart of clove and geranium. The dry down is a deeply earthy and woody affair, dominated by vetiver, sandalwood, and a strong oakmoss, grounded by musky amber notes. It's a rich, green, and unapologetically masculine fragrance with a hint of floral spice.
