About This Fragrance

Express your independent side with the free-spirited scent of Rive Gauche. This eau de toilette spray fragrance for women was introduced in 1971 by French fashion icon Yves Saint Laurent. The scent's name is French for Left Bank, referring to the left side of the river Seine in Paris, which is an area known for creativity, and home of the YSL boutique. Opening fragrance notes of floral aldehydes are enhanced by a heart featuring sweet pelargonium and rose absolute, as a blend of notes including oak moss and musk contribute to a smooth close. Choose this feminine cosmopolitan classic to complete your fragrance wardrobe.
