Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Eau de Toilette 100ml Spray

Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Eau de Toilette 100ml Spray is the iconic women's fragrance from the historic French haute couture house, originally launched in 1971 and composed by perfumer Michel Hy. A definitive 1970s aldehydic floral, Rive Gauche opens with a sparkling accord of aldehydes, bergamot and peach, develops a luminous heart of rose, gardenia, jasmine and ylang-ylang, and dries down on a refined base of sandalwood, oakmoss, musk and amber. The 100ml flacon, in the brand's iconic blue-and-silver striped metal can, is the everyday format of the line.

Who it's for

Rive Gauche suits women who appreciate confident, classical aldehydic-floral compositions in the 1970s tradition. It is particularly well placed for evening wear, special occasions and the autumn and winter wardrobe, and works as a long-loved signature for fans of vintage-style French perfumery.

How to wear

Apply two to three sprays to the inner wrists, the décolletage and the back of the neck. Eau de toilette strength gives four to six hours of wear with confident sillage at the opening; the sandalwood-oakmoss drydown remains pleasantly detectable on clothing.
