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 the soap and deodourant are too dear for every day use.its not an old ladies perfume and has stood the test of time.
