I nearly wept when I sniffed the reform. UGH. I have to say that I have been able to partially fill the YSL Rive Gauche shaped hole in my collection with Amouage Gold Woman. Even though as a rule I loathe Bond, Madison Soiree also helped heal the wound. I miss Rive Gauche above all - my holy grail "gloriously expensive soap perfume"....Jane at Daly Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355174520496222911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-13441909142600523962014-12-10T20:36:50.663-05:002014-12-10T20:36:50.663-05:00LOVE Rive Gauche, love Karl's bathroom.

Or was there perhaps a secretary to take notes on his creative thoughts? Choupette's lacy bed would fit in beautifully. nozknozAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-37873523578803730632014-12-08T10:40:18.107-05:002014-12-08T10:40:18.107-05:00This version of Karl's bathroom doesn't in...This version of Karl's bathroom doesn't include Miss Choupette so it isn't nearly as pretty. marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05273288116543315060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-62113081469751344072014-12-07T06:02:26.590-05:002014-12-07T06:02:26.590-05:00Great memories...thank you for reminding us of Riv...Great memories...thank you for reminding us of Rive Gauche. It was an incredibly special perfume and I loved it. After wearing it for a longer period in my college days, a friend used to say that there's probably more Rive Gauche running thrugh my veins than blood. Of course I remembered that comment until today :-)Nevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03496512519991219079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-3971167229707502962014-12-06T16:33:03.337-05:002014-12-06T16:33:03.337-05:00Oh, I had forgotten all about this perfume.

Just found an inexpensive volume of the book the photo was in at Alibris and ordered it - hope there is more of Karl's home, but it looks like a wonderful design book of the era in general. So glad you posted that! And I wonder if Bianca ever wore Rive Gauche - it would have been a perfect match for her. I absolutely adore Rive Gauche. Haven't dared to try the current version, but have stockpiled several bottles of the vintage edt and parfum.<br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-2729775171444612072014-12-05T09:34:46.699-05:002014-12-05T09:34:46.699-05:00One of my favorites that my mother wore back in th...One of my favorites that my mother wore back in the day.

She wore Rive Gauche and I bought a bottle a while ago when I was on a perfumesIremember kick. Didn't work for me, but passed it on to my daughter and it smelled quite lovely on her.

I got a gift set (parfum extrait and bath product minis) for Christmas when I was thirteen years old. Because it was a small bottle and parfum (as opposed to my Anaïs Anaïs EdT), I wore it only on "special occasions". I loved it and miss it. I wish I could get my hands on some vintage stuff, the current version is not what I loved. tigrushkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082709077132165554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-90230238998371959012014-12-04T20:31:32.292-05:002014-12-04T20:31:32.292-05:00Hi Gaia,
