What would be the most reputable place to purchase?
I see options with and without a tin can, does that matter or mean anything?
Thanks in advance!

I’m looking for the men’s version.
I understand it is no longer made but I see it for sale? All fakes?

You mean Rive Gauche pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent
There's still two of the repackaged bottles available at YvesSaintLaurent.com.
From what I've read the juice in these bottle smell very similar or maybe even the same as what was in the cylindrical cans.

Just buy Fine American Blend EdT.
Reputable brand, should be a reputable clone.
It's getting good reviews.

I own the tin can version, which I think is the original. I haven't seen that for sale in a couple of years. The current version in the cube shaped bottle is the reformulated version. I have never smelled it, so I can't comment on how similar it is. I have not smelled the Fine American Blend EDT, but I do have the aftershave, it I think it does smell very similar to RGPH.
If you can find one in a can from a discount fragrance site, pull the trigger on it. I bought mine from fragrancex.com a little over a year ago.
I’m sure the reformulation would be fine too, but it is quite pricey. Then again, the originals may be getting up in price too.
I used an entire bottle of Fine American Blend AS and have to say that, although they are similar, they are definetly different enough. I could tell the 2 apart even with a cold. Fine is a bit harsher and does not have the nuances as Rive Gauche. I think it’s the patchouli and anise that Fine lacks, but I’m not a perfumer. Both smell great, respectively. The new EDT may be an entirely different beast as can be the case when jumping from AS to EDT concentration. Just my thoughts.

I have the Fine American Blend EDT and the old version of Rive Gauche. Fine American Blend EDT smells great and I love it but it is a bit harsh and much stronger than Rive Gauche. Rive Gauche is smoother and more nuanced. Because of the price difference I would go with Fine American Blend EDT because it is very similar.
There is American Barber zscent from RazoRock that is supposed to smell like it. I don't have Rive Gauche but RR version smells really nice.
Likewise; it's slightly less green, more spicy.
I think we're about to start seeing many clones of this scent.
Retailer's aren't even stocking the La Collection bottles anymore; the only source is YSL. Either they're about to pull a Chanel or it's been discontinued (again).
Was this actually discontinued from YSL?
The black tin is the real deal and the only one worth having...a real classic barbershop fougere with lavender, star anise, oak moss and a bunch of other good stuff.
I was lucky to grab a few cans when fragranceX had them for 30 bucks each...some hucksters seem to have bought in bulk and have put them on the 'bay for 90 bucks upwards...
I have the new formulation and it really is a pale shadow of the original don't waste your money.
