This fragrance pays homage to Terre d’Hermès at a much lower price without compromising quality—in fact, it’s the opposite. What’s interesting is that I found it very appealing, and perhaps thanks to that fermented orange and earthy note, it lasts longer than the original. My prejudices about this brand have been shattered again. Longevity depends on pH and individual scent sensitivity, but it’s one of the blind buys I recommend. Rive Elegant Men is similar to Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme Intenso. I’ll keep looking for more from this brand.
