The review

River Fougère scores 5.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Rive Gauche.

The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Rive Gauche's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche is aldehydes, bergamot and peach at first, rose, iris and jasmine at its heart and sandalwood, oakmoss and vetiver at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Base

  • sandalwood

Cold metallic rose and iris, chic in a way that refuses to flatter.
