    Gorgeous bottle, but the scent is pretty unpleasant. It's much too heavy and masculine. Big second to the earlier review which likened it to nursing home stench.

    First of all, I don't like heavy and/or aldehydic fragrances at all. And Rive Gauche is both it.<p> Considering that I hate fragrances like this, it's not that bad. From all the heavy,...

    I don't own a bottle. Yet. I will one day, but I have too many scents to work my way through at the moment. As spicy musky florientals go, I find this more pleasant than shalimar or Opium. I was...

    If you like the smell of Vetiver, this is the scent for you. Rive Gauche can turn acidic on certain skin.

    Classic fragrance...the bottle is so very cool, so french looking. I have loved this since I got my first bottle when I was 12.

    My mom wore this in the early 80s. Rive Gauche was the first perfume I sneaked spritzes of, when I was in grade school. When I smell it now, it makes me think, "Oh, perfume." Not, "Oh, that's rose,...

    Together with Cabochard this is my favourite fragrance. I wore this, and only this, for more than 10 years. Then my body chemistry must have changed during pregnancies and thereafter, b/c for some...

    Rive Gauche is the type of fragrance that can be worn on any occasion. It is a smooth, sophisticated scent that has no "sharpness" to it, nor cloying florals (as in, say, YSL Paris). The notes...

    Eau de Old lady. Dislike fragrance more than any other perfume I have smelt and turns sour on skin when fragrance soaks in. Will never purchase! Dont mean to offend, some people may enjoy this...

    Rive Gauche was one of the 1970s green florals that I've heard likened to Dr. Pepper! (well, kinda). I wore it a lot in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Bright, unique, with indolic jasmine. ...

    I agree w. another reviewer when she said it reminds her of a 60 year woman! This is the epitomy of an old lady scent. Blech!

    Bee-yoo-tee-full! At first I thought I was going to hate Rive Gauche, because the top notes smell exactly like baby powder. But once it dries down, you're left with a beautiful, romantic floral...

    I used to like perfumes like this, a dusty, dry, strong kind of scent, but now I think they're just...well...gauche. They work on some women, but not many. I'm surprised to hear this is a...

    Men of a certain age go nuts when they smell this, it reminds them of their twenties and thirties in the 1970s. You may wish to know that it's the favourite scent of Joanna Lumley, who played Patsy...

    A casual fragrance with peach, gardenia, iris, lily of the valley, vetiver and amber. This is not for old ladies! I don't know anyone over 60 who went disco dancing with me in 1976. I was 16 years...

    Not bad but this is what my mom and aunt wore in the 70's. Its pleasant but when I wear it I feel old even though my mom and aunt in the 70's were in their mid 20's........
