    Rive Gauche was one of my favorite scents, so I was pretty excited when the Intense version came out. I ordered a decant from a fellow B'noter and honestly, I've never been so repulsed by a fragrace; so much so that it ruined my appreciation of the original. I can't put in to words why; it just smelled horrible to me. It was powerdy to the extreme, combined with something dark and dank.

    M7 is the king here.

    Never tried Rive Gauche Intense.

    I like the regular Rive Gauche and I think M7 smells like something a woman would wear.

    Rive Gauche beats M7 anytime, so that one's my pick.
    However I, too, have yet to try the intense version.

    I think I can safely say, despite having never smelled either RG, I'd go with M7. It's phenomenal once (if) it clicks with you. Not a safe blind buy though.

    Rive Gauche.

    Using my second M7. Gave the first away, then thought i should give it another chance. I am still "trying to appreciate" the agarwood note. A great frag, regardless. I am sure i am the impatient one.

    A vote for M7 but the Rive Gauche is a winner too.

    Entirely different frags though

    I like all three, but would choose M7 if I had to pick just one.

    Rive Gauche

    Have tried all three. Love Rive Gauche, like RG Intense but found it less enjoyable than its non-intense brother. I clearly don't "get" M7 as found the oudh topnote very offputting and ended up giving bottle away.

    So for me it's Rive Gauche by a distance.

    RGPH.
    I love the M7's olfactory category (Oriental Woody) but even if M7 is in my wardrobe I don't use it very often.
    I prefer other Oriental Woody scents as Allure ph, Roma Uomo.
    RGPH is a "I can't stop to smell my arm" scent.

    Boy how I like these bumpers

    Changed my mind. Now, although not by far, M7 would get my vote. Still havent tried the intense I can fairly certain say that I vallue both almost equally but M7 just does mor for me.

    Rive Gauche PH. Of all the fragrances I WISH there were intense versions of, this is not one of them.
    RG is excellent!

    I voted for M7, though I personally think Tom For Extreme is a better M7...

    But that's probably just making things more difficult.
