Rive Gauche Pour Homme Eau de Toilette

A sharp aromatic fougère that opens fresh and herbal, turns warmly spicy and lavender-driven, and settles into a dry woody-green base with a clean tailored feel.

Scent Development and Character

An aromatic fougère with a brisk, herbal opening that feels sharp and airy, followed by a cooler lavender spine, subtle spice, and a dry woody-green base. The drydown is disciplined and smooth rather than plush, giving the scent a clean, tailored, barbershop-like character with a modern edge.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best suited to office, smart-casual, and formal settings where a clean but characterful scent is desired. It wears most naturally in daytime and in mild weather, with enough dryness to stay composed rather than sweet. Best in spring and autumn. Sillage is Moderate sillage. Longevity is Moderate longevity.

Released in 2003, this is presented as Eau de Toilette and credited to Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. Clear, straight-sided glass bottle with a restrained, modern masculine presentation and a silver-toned cap; the officially offered retail size for this exact version is 80 ml.
