Iconic fashion house Yves Saint Laurent shook the industry in 2003 when it chose to launch the men’s version of their women’s hit from the 1970’s entitled Rive Gauche. As an homage to the left side of the river Seine in Paris, Rive Gauche speaks to French culture and heritage. This landmark composition has whittled away throughout the years as increasingly rigorous restrictions are imposed in the industry. The result is a fragrance that long-time owners of the original formulation find indistinguishable and attenuated. Fortune favors the detail oriented in this recent excursion that has challenged us to recreate the splendor and vigor of the vintage formulation from 2003. After recreating this classic fougére fragrance, we decided to combine it with our version of Invasion Barbare by MDCI Parfums! Indulge in the elegance of this timeless fragrance. The opening notes of lavender and vanilla create a delicate and soothing aura that instantly soothes the senses. The heart of the fragrance features the floral and earthy notes of violet and patchouli, adding depth and richness to the scent. The base of the fragrance is a sensual blend of musk, which creates a warm and luxurious finish. This fragrance is like a smooth and sophisticated symphony, harmoniously blending classic and contemporary notes to create a timeless scent. Each inhale is like a whisper of elegance, enveloping the senses in a refined and classy aroma. The perfect choice for those seeking a sophisticated and elegant fragrance, this perfume is a must-have for anyone looking to add a touch of class to their fragrance collection.
