YSL RIP

Yves Saint Laurent dies aged 71


Link goes to Basenotes article. I am wearing Rive Gauche pour Homme in his honor (even though I know that the men's version came about after he left the firm in 1998). I didn't have any Kouros to wear.

Here is my review of Rive Gauche:

Beautiful albeit cloying woody fougere with a hint of a babershop that I used to frequent in my youth. Lively and potent, you can't go wrong with this (unless you put on too much and choke yourself). Rich patchouli and cleansing lavender, this one is for the ages. ****
