Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche

...further than Rive Gauche by Yves St Laurent. There is a wide range of products from which to choose so you can spend as much or as little as your wallet will allow. The fragrance itself is quite light and not too overpowering so it is equally suitable for wearing during the day or during the evening. It also means that it would be an excellent choice of gift for someone whose tastes you weren't quite sure of. The design of the packaging and the ...
...Gauche is one of the Yves St Laurent classic perfumes having been a favourite of many people, including myself, for many years now. There is a range of sizes available for both the perfume and the eau de toilette, and you can also get talcum powder, bubble bath, body lotion etc. They do a lovely round container of talcum powder available complete with powder puff if you really want to pamper yourself! At Christmas there is also a range of gift sets ...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche

...the evening. It is by Yves Saint Laurent and is very popular, many people I know wear it. Even after YSL bringing out many new perfumes none seem to beat this one. I have tested out some of the recent ones but still do not like any of them as much as this. Thi perfume could be worn in day but I think it is for night. It comes in different measures but I have the 50ml bottle which is around £26+ I am not too sure. The smell is hard to describe, I ...
...story because most have an Yves Saint Laurent counter. If you are not too sure about the smell then you should go to the counter and ask to test because many people might have a different opinion of what the smell is. I am sure there are sometimes offers on with this and other products with the rive gauche range. If you do not have anywhere to buy you can order from catalogues. Rive gauche is a perfect gift to give anyone because many people love ...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche

I have been using rive gauche for more than 10 yrs and have tried others during that time but have never really found another that i loved as much, it's fragrance is sweet but not overpowering and i find it suits me and i am often told so, people say they love the smell and ask me what it is, then they go out and buy it too. So we can't all be wrong. I also find that certain fragrances can give me headaches too but i have never had one while wearing ...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche

Although I tend to use just one or two perfumes now - ones which are eminently suitable for my years - I used to wear Rive Gauche in my twenties as I feel it is a younger person's fragrance ... with a sophisticated twist, mind. A very distinctive aroma which is difficult to classify, this fragrance you will definitely remember once you have sniffed it. There really is nothing else like it on the market. It's unique *and* because of this you ...
...comes in a very stylish bright blue and black metalised 'canister' - very chic and remeniscent of the 80's. Yuppies, shoulder pads etc. in the mid price range it is a lovely perfume all in all and if you are a bit on the unique side yourself, you will love it. ...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche

Pedigree Perfumes come and go. Many these days in bottles far more interesting than their contents. And manufacturers try and think up more and more marketing gimmicks. But, nearly 40 years on from its invention, Rive Gauche is still going strong. The Name Rive Gauche, which means "Left Bank" in French, was created a few years after the student demonstrations and riots in Paris, and Paris's Left bank has always been associated with artistic types, ...
...romance. So- the name was of its time. The Scent What's really nice about Rive Gauche is the fact it is a fresh, uniquely floral fragrance with top notes of bergamot, ylang ylang and freesia. With hints, also, of rose and jasmine. It is not "in you face" hasn't got that horrid chemical scent you get from more modern perfumes, and it;s timeless. The Packaging Still the distinctive blue, silver and black atomisateur - exactly the same as it was in ...

I have been using Rive Gauche for over 20 years.I try others but always return to it. Its fragrance is slightly sweet, does not give me a headache as some of the heavier ones do is long lasting, and many people comment on how nice it smells. My husband says if he ever smells it it reminds of me and when I wear it he tel l s me how sexy it is. It is reasonably priced and is available in perfume ,Eau de Toilette, Body Lotion, soap, deodourant, although ...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche

It has been a while since I had noticed this perfume amongst all the new, modern fragrances in the perfume shop. I noticed it because it stood out amongst the curvy glass bottles on the shelves and looked almost retro with it's simple design. I remembered that it was a fragrance my mum used to wear and I can always remember liking it and was amazed that the scent used to linger on clothes for days. After purchasing the perfume I was pleased that ...
...in a perfume. However, as the scent is quite heavy I would recommend that this is strictly an evening fragrance and may be too much for daytime wear. I was shocked at the price, I can always remember that it was an exprensive fragrance, but as you only need to use a tiny amount of the product, a average sized bottle should last quite a while. I purchased the 50ml bottle which cost £28, they do another size a 100ml bottle but at £41.50 it seems a ...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche

This perfume is well displayed in blue and black. It is made by YvesSaintLauren it has a very nice smell not too strong like some French perfumes. It isn't too expensive costing between £20-£25. You can buy it in perfume, cologne, hand and body lotion and you can also get soaps. You could describe the smell as refreshing but not overpowering. At certain times of the year you can buy gift boxes of it with all products in it. The packaging is distinctive ...
