YVES SAINT LAURENT Rive Gauche Pour Homme EDT is a well-known cologne famous for its iconic "shaving foam" aroma. Crafted during Tom Ford’s leadership at YSL, it presents a smoother interpretation of Azzaro Pour Homme, highlighted by strong lavender and star anise notes. Additional elements like cloves, patchouli, guaiac wood, and a use of coumarin that contributes to an added black licorice aroma.
