As if the smell of the aluminium can had carried into the fragrance itself? Besides these, the only other floral I seem to get is the earthy – and also bitter – geranium.įinally, an iris-tonka combo brings a powdery effect (but no smoothness or sweetness) to the composition and, maybe from an unfortunate combination with oakmoss or the sharper side of gardenia, this powdery finish feels intensely and unpleasantly metallic. Lily of the valley, a hard note to get right in my view, also doesn’t help with its “cleaning product” freshness (a problem shared with lemony magnolia). Oakmoss, vetiver and musk combine into a raspy, screechy and bitter accord.
Five years later on, the designer launched his prt-porter tag, Rive Gauche. Then come the green florals and roots, which again, can be done beautifully, but in Rive Gauche don’t show their better side. Establishedin 1962 by French couturier Yves Saint Laurent, the Saint. Inspired by the French avant-garde, the classic fragrance. A master of Parisian poise and refined craftsmanship, French powerhouse Saint Laurent has been creating unique ready-to-wear and accessories since 1961. The fragrance was composed in 1969 by perfumers Jacques Polge and Michael Hy at Roure. Its name - 'Left Bank'- stands for the left side of the river Seine, an intellectual, hip and slightly more bohemian side of Paris, where YSL boutique is situated. Rive Gauche is a womens perfume launched by Yves Saint Laurent in 1971. This highlights the more unpleasant aspects of this note’s “artificial” nature. A unique, avant-garde perfume for an independent and unpredictable woman. Rive Gauche was created in 1970 by perfumer Michel Hy. I do like a hint (or dollop) of well-blended aldehydes, which give a fragrance vintage charm, but here they feel unbalanced sharp like an abrasive, harsh soap. But, after spraying it…Īldehydes are, indeed, very prominent in this fragrance, and here feel cool and starch – closer to crisp-clean Estée Lauder White Linen than to warm-floral Chanel N✥. Its famous “silvery” aldehydes with a whiff of green florals seemed nice. So, sniffing it from the nozzle, I’ve actually had a nice first impression of Rive Gauche. It’s also note-worthy that this fragrance doesn’t come in a glass bottle, but in a practical – even if not very glamourous – aluminium can. Rive Gauche is an Eau de Toilette, but I’d say it performs like a modern Eau de Parfum, especially in terms of sillage. times when another firm bought Yves Saint Laurent and they intended to get my work. It is named after the left bank of the river Seine, the bohemian side of Paris, and location of the Yves Saint Laurent boutique. Visionary French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent was the first to launch a ready-to-wear label, YSL Rive Gauche Prt-Porter.
