Rive Gauche Yves Saint Laurent Dupes

1. Fragrenza: Safran Rosa

Picture yourself seated in a bustling outdoor marketplace in Istanbul, where the air is infused with the aroma of exotic spices and the distant hum of haggling voices. In the midst of this vibrant scene, you find a quaint café, where men in traditional Turkish fez hats serve you rich, steaming coffee and offer you the pleasure of smoking tobacco. This is the enchanting world of Safran Rosa.

As you take your first whiff of this captivating fragrance, the exotic scent of saffron and the warmth of black pepper transport you to this ancient and mysterious land. The atmosphere is electric with adventure and possibility, yet for now, you sit in the comfort of the café, immersed in the moment.

A rich, complex rose note unfolds, a symphony of Rose De Mai, Turkish Rose, and Bulgarian Rose intermingling to create a seductive and alluring heart. This is not a delicate European rose but a deep, sensual bloom that beckons you deeper into the maze of the marketplace.

As the fragrance develops, an intoxicating undercurrent of deep-ground coffee emerges, perfectly balanced by the herbal and spicy notes of patchouli. The coffee note is innovative, and while not overpowering, it adds a unique layer to the fragrance. The scent is further enriched by the smoky, ethereal presence of incense, evoking the sensation of rose-scented incense burning in the café.

Safran Rosa is a journey to an exotic, enchanting world, where adventure awaits just around the corner. Allow yourself to be swept away by its spellbinding and mesmerizing scent.

3. The Dua Brand: River Fougère

DUA DESIGNER LINE

Iconic fashion house Yves Saint Laurent shook the industry in 2003 when it chose to launch the men’s version of their women’s hit from the 1970’s entitled Rive Gauche. As an homage to the left side of the river Seine in Paris, Rive Gauche speaks to French culture and heritage. This landmark composition has whittled away throughout the years as increasingly rigorous restrictions are imposed in the industry. The result is a fragrance that long-time owners of the original formulation find indistinguishable and attenuated. Fortune favors the detail oriented in this recent excursion that has challenged us to recreate the splendor and vigor of the vintage formulation from 2003. Our inspired expression is called River Fougére, and it is sure to rekindle the faith in the pleasure seekers who wish to not settle for a reformulated nightmare. Bright and natural lavender defines the identity of the fragrance while aromatic touches of rosemary add a distinguishing tone. An earthy base of vetiver and oakmoss captivates you with a presence that is much stronger and far more organic than current formulations. This is the scent of a true gentleman. Vintage formulations are selling online for close to $300. A fool and his money are soon parted, but an intellectual and his Dua are always rewarded! Own a piece of history today with River Fougére!

5. Le Parfum: RIVE GAUCHE – YSL Type

6. KDJ Inspired: KDJ Inspired – YSL Inspired Collection – Notes Similar to Rive Gauche Pour Homme® Men’s 0407S

An Aromatic Green fragrance

Inspired by Rive Gauche Pour Homme, the fragrance is fresh and sharp with a warm woody base. The fresh and fruity top notes of apple and citrus are perfectly balanced with floral and spicy heart, dominated by pelargonium, warm cinnamon, and cloves. This isn’t a super-juicy or fruity or realistic apple. This is a transparent apple, which leaves just a trace of sweetness. The base notes are very masculine: sandalwood, vetiver and precious cedar. A timeless, classic fragrance with a prominent spiciness yet having a warm and cozy feel.

It works for an office fragrance as it is inoffensive, however, overall, a good Autumn or Spring fragrance.
