I just saw a 125ml bottle of Rive Gauche for... 25 dollars I believe, and I know it's very well regarded, but when I looked it up on basenotes I saw that one of the topnotes is star anise. Now, anise and I don't get along, sambucca, black licorice, yuck, not gagworthy or anything, just not something I enjoy.
There's no tester, so that leaves me wondering exactly how prominent a note the star anise is, because the rest of the notes sound quite nice.
