Heroic Man La Rive

My bottle of Heroic Man has really surprised me positively, as I find the scent truly successful. It becomes clear quite quickly that they aimed for a direction similar to "Stronger with You." However, my female colleague asked me why so many young men want to smell so sweet these days, as she finds it not very masculine. The longevity on my skin is absolutely fine with 7 to 8 hours in this price category, and the sillage, especially at the beginning, is not disappointing.

I don't really recognize the top note indicated in the fragrance pyramid. It starts off very sweet and gourmand with a lot of caramel and rock candy. There is also a subtly alcoholic synthetic note present. The heart note remains sweet thanks to toffee, but also takes on an oriental-spicy character with aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, chestnuts, gingerbread, and allspice. The base continues with a dessert-like sweetness and is caressed by vaguely defined woody undertones.

I believe that with "Heroic Man | La Rive," I have now found a fragrance from La Rive that I truly consider to be really good and that I have little to criticize. Therefore, the bottle is very welcome to stay with me for everyday use.
