YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme defined masculine sophistication in 1971 — taking the familiar scent of shaving and elevating it. American Blend EDT delivers that refined character in Eau de Toilette concentration for those who want extended longevity and stronger projection.

This is the same precision remastering as American Blend aftershave — just with double the concentration. Formulated with natural lavandin, geranium & black pepper essential oils, plus rose oxide isolate.

First spray delivers cream brightness with aromatic tonic's clean bite — that distinctive YSL signature. Citrus adds lift, herbs provide structure. As the opening settles, soft leather emerges with warm woods. Never aggressive, never rugged — just refined warmth in gentleman's proportion.

Through several hours, the leather-tonic character maintains its balance. Close projection that colleagues notice at conversation distance. Professional enough for any setting, distinctive enough to be memorable. This is 1971 sophistication executed for today.

Wear standalone on non-shaving days. Layer over American Blend aftershave for increased depth and projection. Refresh throughout the day as desired. The complete American Blend experience — from soap to aftershave to EDT — all built on the same remastered fragrance foundation.

Hält leider nicht sehr lange

Super Duft, genau wie "sterling soap company Executive Man" oder eben das Original Aventus von Creed.Nach ca 3 bis 4 Stunden kann ich es am Körper nicht mehr riechen, auch wenn ich direkt an der Stelle rieche wo ich es aufgespürt habe. Dafür ist es mMn etwa 10 Euro zu teuer.Edit: Ich ändere meine Rezension von 3 auf 2 Sterne ab, auch andere Leute können nach wenigen Stunden nicht wahrnehmen, dass ich ein EdT trage.

Fine American Blend EDT

Completa la Linea di crema da barba ed after shave che ho iniziato ad amare dal secondo utilizzo, tanto da prendere anche l’EDT.Con il suo spruzzatore generoso è facile da usare.È difficile descrivere un profumo, la percezione è soggettiva e la profumazione può cambiare da pelle a pelle, comunque ci provo:Appena spruzzato percepisco un profumo “liquerizioso” svanito l’impatto iniziale quello che lascia sulla pelle dopo una mezz’ora / un’ora è un profumo fresco e che sa di pulito, talcato, speziato, legnoso, la profumazione è senza dubbio maschile.Dovrebbe richiamare un vecchio profumo che non conosco che è il Rive Gauche Pour Homme di Yves Saint Laurent.Non lascia la scia, ma è abbastanza persistente, è un profumo molto intimo, piacevole per noi e per chi invade i nostri spazi :D.Lo consiglio sicuramente, preciso che già sapone ed after shave bastano e profumano a dovere il volto, la sua linea è tra i top come performance nella rasatura (parlo di rasatura tradizionale, io uso rasoi di sicurezza) anche se mediamente costosa, l’EDT completa la rasatura con ulteriore profumazione.

Fine Dream Team

Ich nutze bereits die dazugehörige Rasiercreme und After Shave und ja ich liebe diesen warmen, blumigen und Barbershop Geruch und das Eau De Toilette ist eine perfekte Ergänzung und somit ist es ein absolutes Drema Team. Der Geruch ist nahezu identisch wie vom AS und der Creme. Preislich gesehen war das hier bei Amazon ein Schnäppchen. Lieferzeit war was länger, aber das war für mich OK, da der Preis wieder entschädigt hat :-). Die Fine Produkte z.B. auch die Rasierschale oder Pinsel sind einfach gut. Nicht mehr nicht weniger. 5*****

Great Scent but only last an hour.

Great Scent. Ive paired it with the Platinum Shaving Soap and Platinum aftershave. Smells similar to Creed Aventus but more lighter and sweeter. The thing is the scent fades very quicker you can spray it on your skin and within an hour there is zero smell. So horrible lasting strength

A great compliment to the shave soap

This is by far my favorite scent by FINE accoutrements. I've been using this scent of soap long before I ever had a sniff of the name brand it is imitating. I prefer this one... It's a very small fraction of the price and in my opinion smells better.

Love this brand. One of the few scents my wife approves of. Smells great just doesn’t last long. If I spray my shirt it seems to hang in there all day. Not over powering.

Smells good but used bottle

The box was ripped, bottle full of fingerprints, and the cologne leaking and used. Don’t know if I blame fine or Amazon for accepting such a condition for a return.

Killer Value

Another banger from Mr. Fine! Not a bergamot scent, but a true orange with a little powder. Sandalwood comes through stronger on the drydown. Two or three sprays on the skin lasts a loooong time. I work in a kitchen and still gets whiffs of this stuff when I'm cleaning up after the dinner rush. Also works well as a room spray.

Weaker scent than matching aftershave...

I purchased this after using the Fine Platinum Aftershave, which is almost dead on Aventus scent. Aftershave is a beast, but the Cologne is weak by comparison. Additionally, the scent is not like the aftershave.By two bottles of the aftershave, save your money and pass on this cologne.

Smells A Lot like Rive Gauche for Men. Great Find.

This is a great deal. Smells incredibly similar to Rive Gauche for Men, so if you own that you can save it for special occasions or layer it (using less than you normally would) with the Mr. Fine. This EDT (Eau de Toilette) does last considerably longer than then aftershave -- remember, Rive Gauche is also an EDT, so neither will have the staying power of an EDP (Eau de Parfum). As for the guy who said this doesn't last, he's wrong. Many nonperfumers don't understand the concept of "anosmic," which means that if you are surrounded by a scent -- let's say Mr. Fine -- after a while you will not be able to smell it. This is normal for all fragrances. When you think that your fragrance has "disappeared" ask someone else and you'll be surprised. Of course every fragrance disappears after a while, but Mr. Fine EDT performs quite well.

Great fragrance

UPDATE: Since I wrote this review, I've read up a lot on fragrances (specifically Aqua Di Parma) and think I now understand some things better.Firstly, this smells fantastic. I love it. It really is one of my favourites. There are a few things to consider though. As a cologne, it's not necessarily going to have the longevity of an EDT, EDP or Parfum. Also, after reading around, citrus fragrances tend to be shorter-lived. If you read up on Aqua Di Parma, which this cologne is based upon, you'll see people say that doesn't last all-day either. So, keep that in mind.Therefore, if you keep your expectations realistic, this is a great fragrance. If Mr Fine ever decided to create an EDT or EDP version of this, aiming for more longevity, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
