About This Perfume
Think peppery ginger cologne with fresh green herbs: that is La Rive Evolution. It opens with ginger and pepper, moves into basil, cedar and sage and settles on ambergris and patchouli. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $38.
