Alternative to Bond No. 9 Riverside Drive

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
I'm testing a sample I got long ago and I love the fragrance. The only issue is the crazy price. Is there a cheaper alternative?

I think Platinum Egoiste smells similar on the dry down. Plus it lasts long. I was almost going to purchase a bottle of Riverside Drive myself so I did a test, one spray on each arm. It is a similar scent after the dry down which didn't warrant the price for riverside. It is still a great fragrance though

Try YSL L'Homme Libre. I prefer Riverside, but similar vibe.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have L'Homme Libre, but there is something more to Riverside Drive. I might just have to cowboy up and get a bottle. Their prices are just so damn insane.

Riverside is brighter and fresher than Libre. I don't think there are any other alternatives. Fragrancenet has 3.3 oz for $179 and an additional 15% off. Usually you can search and find a 20% code..

Good idea. Beauty Encounter had the 1.7oz for $93, but they're sold out at the moment.
