La Rive Black Water / Black Creek opens with bergamot, pineapple and pepper, then darkens into birch and leather: a fresh, fruity men's scent.

What does Black Water / Black Creek smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall not far behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the usual settings. It reads mostly masculine and modern. Longevity and sillage are both weak, though value for money is rated highly.

The top is bergamot, lemon, pineapple and pepper: citrusy, fruity and lightly spicy. Birch, patchouli and jasmine form the heart, bringing a smoky, woody edge. Musk, leather, oakmoss, vanilla and ambergris soften it into a sweeter base.
