The ultimate shaving cream king

If there's one barbershop scent that's handcrafted, well-made, and wholly shaving cream, it's Rive Gauche.

He is very fresh, also soapy, in the Drydown then creamy becoming. Through and through he acts masculine, but renounces the often old-fashioned tobacco and leather thunderstorm of some competitors. That makes it wearable. I see him, however, rather on a man from the late 30s.

Sadly, the opening of barbershops even in small towns has had no effect on a new rise of Fougere fragrances. And so this fragrance has now been discontinued, despite being a masterpiece. But for what? For the 26th flanker of L'Homme? For the all inconsequential new creations in the Y range? I hope the folks at L'Oreal aren't shooting down one legend after another now. Maybe they need a new cash cow, but hopefully not at the expense of all the masterpieces from YSL.
