QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q: HOW DOES YSL RIVE GAUCHE PERFUME SMELL?

A: Wearing Rive Gauche is like stepping into a fresh flower garden. The sweet middle notes of iris, jasmine and gardenia pair perfectly with the sweet and citrusy top notes of lemon, bergamot and honey suckle. Base notes of sandalwood, oakmoss and amber keep the perfume from becoming too sweet.

Q: WHERE DO YOU APPLY RIVE GAUCHE?

A: To increase the longevity of the fragrance, spray Rive Gauche perfume onto your major pulse points such as behind your ears, at the base of your neck, on the wrists, behind the knees and in the inner elbows.

Q: WHAT IS THE FRAGRANCE CONCENTRATION??

A: Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche is an eau de toilette. Eau de toilettes contain as much as 12% pure perfume to create strong scent notes. Eau de toilettes are about as strong as eau de colognes but not as strong as eau de parfums.

Q: IS RIVE GAUCHE PERFUME FOR WOMEN OR MEN?

A: YSL Rive Gauche was created with women in mind. However, anybody who enjoys floral fragrances can wear it.

Q: DOES RIVE GAUCHE PERFUME LAST LONG?

A: Eau de toilettes like Rive Gauche have an average longevity of 3-4 hours. Individual factors such as your body chemistry and the weather in which you wear the perfume determine exactly how long and strong your fragrance is. If you dab a bit of petroleum jelly onto your wrists and other pulse points before applying your perfume, it will take longer to react to your body chemistry and dissipate. You can also increase the longevity by showering with similarly scented products and adding your fragrance right after you shower and moisturize. Finally, you can spritz the fragrance into the air and walk through it so that it sticks to your hair and clothing.
