Athletic Man

This one of my favorites, when I look for pine scents I'm after a pine vibe of the original pine sol cleaner, I don't know why its one of my favorite smells, I clean my floors every weekend using it. The pine in this is bright and airy, and there's a sweetness to it from the cedar. Not overly sweet, more like woody sweet similar to BH, I like to layer BH edp or parfum with this. Ihave HBBE and the labdanum is definitely there. I remembered the first sprays smelling synthetic so I used it as a car freshener and room spray at first. But after letting it sit it the closet and give it the same respect as BDC, It has blended and smells amazing, def more smooth. Since I have collected 10 bottles and they're all dated for 3/2026. Please La Rive keep this one going, it's a sleeper gym scent or layering. As a gym scent it lasts about 5-6 hours projecting about 4 before becoming a skin scent and dying out. When layered it adds sillage to and doesn't affect the stronger scents longevity.

CGV nailed it! This is a clone of VINTAGE Adidas Active Bodies. IMO the best fragrance Adidas ever made and nothing like the Adidas colognes today. Perfect gym scent. It's been well known woman in Europe, especially Poland went absolutely crazy over Active Bodies original cologne from Adidas. Well, LaRive I'm sure will do that same because it's a definite clone. Fresh, sporty, masculine and a panty dropper for sure. Best of all, hardly anybody knows about it and therefore, it would make an excellent signature fragrance. At less than $20 for a 3,4 oz you'd be crazy not to blind buy this, Trust me you'll like it and your girl will love it!

Yes! Thanks for the head's up, CGV, this is an excellent rendition of the original Adidas Active Bodies and I couldn't be happier! It is rare indeed to come across a remake that so closely resembles a lost scent, but this really does and at an amazingly low price! If you lament the loss of the original Adidas Active Bodies, take note: La Rive has revived it! Great stuff indeed!

Just finished my second bottle (see my review in 2016 below). Love love this juice. Buying my third bottle today for only $12 Its probably the best bargain in perfumery... period! I don't know if it's still popular in Poland but my nephew's 24 year wife from Poland just bought a bottle for him. So there ya go.

This is the perfect copy of Adidas Active Bodies like it was in 1990 when it came out. By now Active Bodies has changed (I am referring to the Coty version) and lost a good portion of its original dept. Athletic Man preserved that and kept it alive. Well done!
