If any of the other UK-based guys out there is interested in trying Rive Gauche, The Perfume Shop has them on sale for just £12.99 for a 60ml. I really like it. The perfume counter girl was very impressed by my taste (based on the perfumes I was naming) and I got her phone number, so thank you sir for more than just great fragrance recommendations!

She also had me try a couple others: Opium and Twice Iceberg. I didn't particularly like either... Opium was just too strong, and Twice Iceberg was too summery. I am aware that I may have been judging them relative to Rive Gauche which may be unfair - Rive Gauche just seemed so much punchier and oozed class (they had no coffee beans for health and safety reasons relating to nut allergies. Another customer said that a slice of lemon works too). Twice Iceberg was just £9.99 so I may visit the shop again in a couple days and try it out again.

Interestingly, she said she'd never heard of Creed despite being in the industry for several years.
