What wearers say
“I love this fragrance for the price! Very similar to Armaf's Club de Nuit Intense Man (which is a Creed Aventus clone). The birch tree note is pleasant and overall nice. Sillage is nice and I can smell whims of it from far. Longevity is lacking, around 2 hours. This La Rive one is currently 4 times cheaper than CdNIM but ofcourse has weaker longevity.”
“It's a signature "summer" fragrance; Fresh citrusy fragrance, with that special kick that makes it unique. Excellent atomizer too.If you like Aventus this is a good alternative, especially if you don't want to spend money on an overpriced perfume/or if you don't want to use your original Aventus for everyday use.8/10 per scent11/10 per priceEDIT : Scent is extremely short lasting. 30 min for moderate/mild fragrance radiance, then it goes down to a bare skin only scent.”
“La Rive Black Creek might just be the best Creed Aventus dupe ever made. The opening is smoky pineapple perfection, the drydown is smooth and woody, it’s basically Aventus without the Aventus price.But here’s the twist: my grandpa wore it before I even knew what Aventus was. He’d spray it on before feeding the chickens, and somehow the entire barn started smelling like a luxury niche boutique. One time, a goat followed him home, we think because of the scent trail.So yes, La Rive Black Creek smells amazing. But be warned: you might end up accidentally summoning livestock.”
