Fragrance Reviews by Larry D

Rive Gauche has become one of my favorites. The first spray was just heavenly. Something about this fragrance makes you feel great... It is suave, rich, professional, and classic. This is sophistication in a bottle. AND, it's manly without being cloying. One of YSL's finest.

It is definitely dirty, but in a good way. The dry down makes me imagine some kind of personified soil that just took a bath. Its opening is very citrus, and then as it dries down you smell these beautiful, earthy wood notes that smell unlike any I've smelled. I know some don't see anything special about Dirty English, but to me this is a very unique fragrance. I can picture many women enjoying this one too. Thumbs up.

whoa! strong and long-lasting with a perfect balance of spice and sweetness. to my nose, it's not too much of either quality. this is a well-made, extremely good smelling, and distinct scent.

Simply the best of the masculine, clean scents... I love it and can wear it any day for any occasion. To top it off, the price is low.

I'm really not sure what to think of this. I have never been so repulsed as when I first sprayed this on my wrist. I literally almost threw up. As I was walking through the mall, I told my girlfriend that I thought I was about to get sick. Then, the drydown was surprisingly pleasant and fresh. I wasn't crazy about the scent. However, I got the first complement I've ever gotten for a fragrance that very same night in the mall. This woman at a store just told me I smelled good, which shocked me. I gets a thumbs down from me and a thumbs up from women, so it equalizes to a nice neutral

I sprayed a tester of Pi on my hand and twenty minutes later I smelled my hand and almost wanted to eat it. Pi smells delicious, and works perfectly on my skin. Somehow Pi stays masculine enough for me to love it. An excellent scent indeed.

as much as people hate D&G for its overpopularity, I still love it. When I smelled it on paper I wasn't that impressed but it smells excellent on my skin. Women love this fragrance. It is unique, powerful, and the tobacco is wonderful. The tobacco in its base gives it a very masculine edge, which I love, considering many colognes are hard to tell apart from women's perfumes nowadays. It's kinda cool to be witnessing apart of a modern-day classic.

sweet and spicy but not enough to detract from its masculinity. its woody notes stay noticeable throughout the sweet, vanillic drydown. a good fragrance for those nights where you want to smell unique

it's not bad... on my skin, it had excellent longevity and projected well, and I was always complimented by women when I wore this. it isn't mind-blowing or complex and sometimes a bit harsh.

a very classy fragrance full of character.. I think it'd be good for formal events. the sweet and spicy notes are bold and prominent in the smell, and project the most yet don't come off as necessarily feminine. Escada Pour Homme is smooth, elegant, and sexy. An incredible bargain too as it can regularly be found at Marshalls and TJ Maxx. Get it cheap while you can.

Definitely a classic and it still holds up among today's modern scents. This is the first fragrance I ever owned and I still love to wear it occasionally. It is immensely popular with women and my girlfriend still prefers it over my other scents. To hate this just because of its overuse is denying its quality as a fragrance. It smells great and can be worn for any occasion.
