La Rive

Fresh · Sweet · Synthetic

Eau de Toilette

La Rive Cabana Eau de Toilette is a men's fragrance that pairs a fresh, spicy side with a sweet, powdery oriental base. Longevity and sillage are moderate: it leaves a soft trail through the day without pushing hard. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It suits leisure and daily wear, and works at the office too. Most see it as masculine, with modern and classic readings close behind. It opens with cardamom, bergamot and cinnamon, bringing freshness and spice together. Eucalyptus, lavender and carnation carry that freshness through the heart. In the base, white moss, sandalwood, amber and vanilla settle it into a woody, sweet, powdery finish. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle (Eau de Toilette) and Miro Cabal pour Homme have a close profile.

Bang

7.1

Marc Jacobs · 2010

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Marc Jacobs Bang is a spicy, woody and earthy men's fragrance led by pink, black and white pepper; it has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, while fewer choose summer. Leisure, daily wear and business are the most-voted settings, and sport trails far behind. Most voters read it as masculine, though many also call it modern. The sharp, spicy peppers open alongside a fresh, green citrus lift. In the heart, benzoin, woods and elemi resin pull it toward a resinous, woody side. The base of vetiver, white moss and patchouli sets an earthy ground, and a synthetic edge runs throughout. Its profile is close to Terre d'Hermès and Dior Homme.

Cremo · 2022

Citrus · Fruity · Sweet

Cremo Reserve Collection - № 21: Vintage Suede is a men's fragrance that sets bright citrus and fruit against the warm, smoky, leathery feel of suede and amber.

A slightly synthetic edge is also present. Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Aimed at men, it is rated as very good value for money, though the ratings come from only a handful of voters and are not a firm measure.
