Niche : Black Onyx
Armaf (2015)

Well I have had this fragrance for several years now. When I first got it, I didn't like it at all.... Avoided it for years... tried to sell it... no luck. Decided to try it ONE MORE TIME. Well I don't hate it. I do love it either. LOTS of cardamom, myrrh, oud and patchouli. It has a minty vibe behind the opening that is very interesting. Pungent to start and that lasts for a few hours getting softer and softer.... By hour 3 it is a very nice gentleman's scent for cooler days and nights. NOT a safe blind buy... sample first. Enjoy!

I happen to love it. One of the scents Im complimented on, any and everytime I wear it. I have "better frags", that cost a lot more, that dont get NEARLY the attention that this one does. At the end of the day, thats why we buy this crap...to smell good, so that everyone else, will tell us, we smell good.

and this fragrance, smells good. My father wore YSL/Rive Gauche, for 10 yrs, or so, that I can remember. I know that fragrance like I know my name. And Black Onyx, smells exactly like the original, I kid you not. As Rive Gauche, survived its reformulation, it remained relevant but def', watered down.

this scent, is the vintage Rive Gauche, from 2003
