What do reviewers say about Absolument Homme and Rive Gauche pour Homme?
Patchouli that went to finishing school. The Mysore sandalwood keeps it clean, the musk keeps it human. For men who want to smell like they know what they're doing, without announcement.Absolument Homme
Some fragrances ask you to like them. Rive Gauche pour Homme doesn't. That star anise and lavender combination either hooks you immediately or takes you right back to a vintage barbershop.Rive Gauche pour Homme
