Rive Gauche Pour Homme YSL vs Azzaro Pour Homme Fragrance Review

[@mcscotty325]

There's a reason Azzaro pour homme is still around. If you want Rive Gauche, just pick up a $10 bottle of Brut EDT.

[@SergiuNiculescu]

I'm wearing the new Azzaro pour Homme and is actually pretty good. Projection 3h and longevity over 12h+ before completely dissappear from skin. I got the 200ml bottle, soft and easy to wear.

[@MisterNumber6]

200ml bottles are the best, super strong

[@J_M_E_83]

Great video Dan, top notch! I just added Rive Gauche back into the collection this week, and I'm bloody glad i did. I sold it a couple of years ago in favour of Platinum Egoiste, but when the PE ran out i opted to re purchase the YSL. Im glad i was able to got an older tin can version, it looks miles better than the generic square bottle reissue imo.

John Varvatos Artisan Blu is a very similar fougere but a bit “greener” and maybe fresher, if you will. Not as sweet in the dry down though still very similar. These types of “barbershop fragrances” smell soapy and clean, but they are not chick magnet scents. My question is Rive Gauche’ like Thierry Mugler Cologne?

[@zzergg8188]

I bought azzaro ph the other week at Ross. Honestly, it's an old school fragrance that I enjoy wearing. It's harsh but pleasing for some reason. It makes you feel like a no none sense type of man when you wear it.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Great description Greezy!

[@Mannymoe7]

Love azzarro pour homme known it since the 70's..never tried rive

[@markart157]

personally i think the Azzaro smells better than the Rive Gauche pour Homme

[@rsa8832]

Azzarro. It is for me

[@TheScentinel]

I have Rive gauche (tin can), but never tried APH. It would have to be pretty amazing for me to think it was better than Rive Gauche. I suspect RG is for refined. Great comparison vid.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks a lot Scentinel. I think Rive Gauche is a better fragrance than Azzaro PH but there are some who disagree.

[@nick177th]

I own the La Collection version of Rive Gauche Pour Homme. Classic 'Retro' scent. I'll have to hunt around to try and find the Azzaro. Thanks for doing the comparison Dan.

[@michaelhill7415]

Great content as always, I would suggest a comparison with the flanker azzaro l'eau, which is lighter and possibly closer to rive gauche, would be interested to hear what you think.

[@olewetdog6254]

I just received a huge bottle of the new version today and I must say it's really good. Very earthy and musky smelling. Like expensive dirt. I like it.

[@dspada67]

Great work mate. I gave version 2 of APH and current . It's a masterpiece for me.

[@markart157]

I agree, APH is better than Rive Gauche pour Homme, my personal opinion of course.

[@chrisvelour3679]

I own vintage versions of Azzaro and Rive Gauche and love them both. Vintage Azzaro is clearly from another age and, while it has aged incredibly well, doesn't behave the same on the skin as Rive Gauche, which smells much lighter and fresher. For the folks wondering if they should get Rive Gauche if they already have Azzaro (vintage), I would definitely recommend it. You'll find yourself wearing them on totally different occasions. Younger women will be attracted to Rive Gauche and you might make a few cougars purr when you have on the original Azzaro (I say that with a grin, as I am a huge proponent of vintage Azzaro). For the folks asking if they should get Rive Gauche if they already have JPG Le Male, I don't find them similar at all, and, in all honesty, find Rive Gauche much more wearable - not sickly sweet or cloying like JPG. Cheers.

[@mareverticale]

Azzaro Pour Homme, vintage or new, deserves the 5/5 Luca Turin gives it. It stood the test of time.

[@markart157]

yes it's a masterpiece

[@Dastardly_X]

🍻 Always nice to see the vintage comparisons !

[@scentland4753]

Love the review! Both juices are amazing, hard to make a choice between then thats why I own both:)

[@stanners9876]

Nice use of Adriana Lima in the thumb nail, love her. Oh, er, good vid as well...

[@MrSmelly1977]

Ha ha thanks Paul! I am using lingerie models as shameless clickbait with the defense that when I do it it is "ironic!"

[@danielrencsenyi917]

which one smells more like Brut?

[@sproaty]

Hey Dan mate, have you tried Quorum? It'd be right up your street, I know it!

[@iancampbell1494]

So do you have a methodology for purchasing more “ vintage” bottles on eBay, how do you avoid duds?

[@jkbsdasf]

Help! I’ve purchased a vintage bottle rive gauche! Is there a way to see the level of juice once it’s delivered?

[@Carlitosway2369]

I love the new formulation of Azzaro Pour Homme

[@diegohernan82]

Brewdog Punk IPA FTW! I wonder if they are ready to launch the edp version of that brew. Now that would be a hit.

[@williamjc7195]

I have the new azzaro,very good ,doesn't last long (4-5hrs). But I use it in conjunction with Fine 'american blend' aftershave. And get a longer lasting post shave scent as both fragrances are in harmony :)

[@veesentdaysendz8113]

Great video!! I own and love vintage YSL rive guache,but I never sampled Azzaro pour Homme.

[@ralfp9809]

Great video Dan :) Polish beers are always great to party :P

[@gonzaljevic]

Love them both.

[@TheBTEAMwins]

Just got my rive gauche in, tin can. Not 100% full paid $100, smells amazing

[@sergiovazquez8599]

Rive Gauche for sure ! ❤️

[@LexEllis]

Dat vintage bottle....*drools* Next video: Top 5 Fragrances to wear when robbing MrSmelly >:P

[@MrSmelly1977]

ha ha thanks Lex. You have some great ones in your collection too!

[@davids.816]

Do more Beer/Fragrance reviews! I think your on to something there.

[@badhabitz69]

Not even close with pronunciation of the Polish beer, but good try Dan! Nice lager indeed.

[@sproaty]

I'm sure he missed a Z or 2 :)

[@Kologne]

Dope video bro. Rive Gauche is king. Btw IPA's haven't had one in a long minute and that glass, toast to you. San Miguel's, what u know about that ha. Anyhow, always enjoy the vids. Keep um coming!

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks a lot Kologne. Yeah I love my IPAs and Rive Gauche is one of the best of its kind.

[@benjaminschmeiser1259]

It is incredibly unfair that you can drink all that beer and it doesn't go to your belly. You are fortunate!

[@jancsipaprika193]

Azzaro is 👍. Good video. From Slovakia 🇸🇰😃

[@jimr880]

Prince Smelly gets shitfaced on Polish Ale. lol. Also enjoyed this gentleman's versus episode...but Rive Gauche wins hands down any day of the week and twice on Sunday. RV set the standard for this scent genre...but that's just my opinion. Enjoyed!

[@CaveManGrows]

Its smoother and richer becaise its in your skin kook

[@danield9257]

Epic underwear dancing dan! Great video content as well. I have been on the fence with Rive. I don't know if I should get it. I think Le Male pulls it off for me. Is it better?

[@danthadon87]

@Daniel D925 You need to graduate to Rive Gauche it's better than even most niche offerings imo.

[@demonwares]

I like the Rive Gauche, but I wouldn't rate it 10/10 There is a store that still has about 9 bottles of tin can, but eBay seems to show they aren't worth that much more over regular. If the new version (clear bottle) is horrible, I might buy all the tin can vintages and become an eBay Mercenary like Mr Smelly points out 4:09

[@houssamnasri6161]

Salam

[@franzbeckenbauer7170]

polish beer and polish dancing!

[@matrixgtipg4013]

Dębowe Mocne...moc z charakterem. :D

[@tally1604]

not surprised you were twerking after drinking the beer. It doesn't have mocne - polish for strong - in the name for nothing :)

[@Lycosa]

Good one, hahahaha epic beer night, party time... Yes. 7% ABV aint super strong but yes its stronger.

[@AngelHernandez-sj4nk]

Later that night...😂😂😂...totally understand!

[@anakaca]

ysl winner

[@yourtwoscents6974]

I have the new Azzaro Pour Homme and several little samples of Rive Gauche. Agree with your review 100% though I have yet to review Rive Gauche. My Dad wore Azzaro Pour Homme and I just see it as more of a working man's fougere (Dad was a carpenter/bricklayer). Yes, it is rough but some guys are by nature rough... always think the set of the Godfather smelled like this. Oh hey you made me interested in your Polish beer: spiritedmatters.com/2010/03/debowe-mocne/

[@anakaca]

great lager...:-) :-)

[@MrJasontm2386]

drink up friend

[@mandoanilom5851]

hate that fragrance
