I love Rive Gauche! I'm wearing it now actually! Put it on this morning and I can still smell it! It lasts very well on me. My aunt gifted it to me when I was 19 or 20 so fond memories. Beautiful classic fragrance. I absolutely love the design on this bottle! Stunning and my favourite shade of blue ❤

This had me in tears ❤️❤️ my beloved grandma’s signature fragrance, and the one she wore till she passed in 2019, was Oscar. I have a vintage bottle, her bottle, and I still, even after all this time, have not been able to muster the courage to review it or speak of it on my page. But it made me immensely happy to see this! Rive Gauche has become my signature scent of sorts. It’s always between Rive Gauche and Samsara!

Yves Saint Laurent was THE house in the 70s in every possible aspect! I adore this man's creations of that time. (Including the perfumes in this case). The publicity for his first masculine scent was simply spectacular.

@@Persolaise I have mever smelt the original version of Oscar. Now that I know it was based on L'Heure Bleue a vintage sample, if not a full bottle, is a must.

I wear Oscar as my signature fragrance and have for quite a long time (decades). In my 20’s, I wore a lot of different fragrances and finally realized that most of my clothes picked up my fragrance and I wanted them to smell consistent-and I loved Oscar…so I chose that as my one and only. I have never regretted it and get lots of compliments. 🥰

I smelled and discovered Rive Gauche recently. It feels like my mother could have worn it. She was born in 1958, so it could be possible. She passed 11 years ago so I feel closer to her smelling it.

Love Oscar de la renta and wore it a lot in the eighties and nineties . Rive Gauche is one that I never wore as I didn’t really like it then .

My boss used to wear Oscar de la Renta in the office. She was an amazing woman and this perfume was her signature scent. I still wear it occasionally and it always reminds me of her. Its a timeless fragrance and a true classic in my humble opinion.

ADORE the original Oscar de la Renta (and l’Heure Bleue). Carnation is one of my favorite scents (tho I think in OdlR I think it is clove or eugenol). Have never tried Rive Gauche but have always wanted to… thanks for the nudge, and the intel as always.

It's always a treat when you do these, Oscar doesn't have the monster sillage of l'HB but an heir of it, agree totally. So glad you got a great deal. Don't hate me😀 I have a 30ml bottle numbered of the extrait and, yes it was very affordable, but that was 10 years ago, perhaps no longer?

Hello Dariush. ODLR and the original Bijan were my aunt's signature scents throughout the 80s, but I could never relate to either back then, That's how silly I was! But, Rive Gauche, where to begin? I have been thinking about searching for a vintage bottle for a while, but do recall you had mentioned the new version is not bad and does the job. Do you still recommend the new one? Thank you.
@Persolaise8 ай бұрын
Well, I don’t know what the latest, current version is like. I’d recommend smelling it first. But I believe it’s meant to be pretty good.

I haven’t had rive gauche or Oscar since I was 18! And I’m feeling the need to go back! Is it just me but do you think there may be aldehydes in Oscar ? They’re not listed but I feel them? I always literally have been buying poison yearly since 87! I was also remembering Cher Uninhibited the other day! (Off topic slightly but it was an 80s oriental) and I can’t find it anywhere! It was my moms thing she was the Cher fan ha but it had tobacco in it and ahh what a scent memory mad I didn’t get a bottle! Oscar’s lavender recent release but discontinued …and so now it’s $100 plus! When it was only $20 at discounters ha

@Persolaise I am so very excited as Im waiting for my Rive Gauche to arrive TODAY! I use many parfumes that are "Unisex" and even lean just a bit fem as long as I like it. Do you think Rive Gauche is extremely feminine? So nervous!🤫

I think a guy could pull it off. If you feel happy wearing No. 5 Eau Premiere, I think you'll be okay with Rive Gauche.

i love rose frags and this one is wonderful. little hints of jasmine and very green. a little soapy but can be layered with cedar or oud to make it more masculine. rose soap smells good on everyone though!
