Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld's favorite scent is Rive Gauche Pour Homme
by Yves Saint Laurent. Created by Jacques Cavallier in 2003 under the artistic direction of Tom Ford, this very masculine scent may take you back to the days of the old-fashioned barber shop but with a modern twist. Top notes include bergamot, star anise, and rosemary; middle notes are lavender, geranium leaves, and cloves; base notes are vetiver, gaiac wood, and patchouli. Pairing the old notes with the modern makes this a versatile scent that easily moves from formal to casual.
