What do reviewers say about Ultra Male and Rivière?
It's sweet. Unapologetically. But the lavender keeps it from being just another vanilla bomb, it gives the sweetness some backbone, some edge. If Le Male was a suggestion, Ultra Male is the statement.Ultra Male
The leather here is dark and slightly smoky, the kind that gets into your jacket lining and stays rather than the buttery variety that fades quickly. Paired with the oud.Rivière
