  |  I swear this smells like Sundown.Wearing it feels like the smell left by Sundown after a day at the beach. There's also a very annoying bitter note. No, thanks. 15 May 2007 |
 | Just tried this in a sample vile form on my left wrist. Call me crazy but I dont get the big "craze" on this one? This is an identical Barber Shop smell! I smell this on the back of my neck and sides AFTER the barber is done cutting my hair. Rive Gauche IS that smell! It's very "Old Man cologne meets Barber Shop scent". You guys nailed it on the head on this one and what it smells like! Don't like it at all IMHO, if women like this pleeease let them put their reviews here cause I just dont buy it! lol Thumbs down on this old man meets Barbasol meets "dads cologne" scent. 11 May 2007 |

| Not really impressive in the least. Starts off as a really, really dry woodsy aroma. Then as it dries down I start to get some very green notes. One thing that it made me think of, which for me fits perfectly, is the smell of green pea pods. In the summer whne you can get the peas in the pod, that's what Rive Gauche smells like as it dries down. It isn't piss mixed with urinal cakes like Kouros which triggers my gag reflex, but to my nose it isn't the least bit pleasent. Anything YSL puts out seems to get labeled as simply amazing on here - I have no idea why. 01 December 2006 |

| I'm sorry, but this smells like a brew of generic deodorant, hairspray, and Barbasol shave foam. I usually like old-school/powdery clean things, but this makes me feel like a dirty old man. I will admit that there are very few colognes that smell like this, but there is a reason for that: colognes aren't supposed to smell like discontinued grooming products. 02 May 2006 |
 | Would go well with Neutrogena T-Gel shampoo. Smells like the barber my nanny used to take me to see when I was 7. Maybe she liked him, but I doubt it was because he smelled good. 17 March 2006 |

| A Big thumbs down! Rive Gauche is not stronge enought to win some smells that make this scent feel like old cheap after shave. 16 February 2006 |

| I have no idea what they were thinking of with this one, a bit like Brut gone wrong. It is harsh, metallic and synthetic. 15 July 2005 |

| Simply: the scent reminds me the smell of a usual shaving cream or a bar of soap. Rive Gauche it`s very strange, I think it maybe would like in older people. Not to me!! 22 December 2004 |
