I love the original - so glamorous, sophisticated. The new version barely has anything in common - smells so different to me. It is much more modern, in the sense that it is like all the generic department store scents - no longer unique and kinda cheap. The Intense version is much closer to the original; not quite as good, but good enough.

When I tried this and smelled it for what I thought was the first time recently I was immediately reminded of my schooldays. I think most of my female teachers must have worn this in the late seventies and early eighties! My school reeked of it! Only the art department escapes the association as it was predictably a haven of incense sticks and patchouli oil. Rive Gauche can have no other connection for me so I will have to rate it neutral.

Very powdery, antiquey rose. Similar to Chanel No. 5-her naughty little sister who, in an ttempt to be 'grown-up,' wears a little too much blusher and stays out all night. Not for me. However, fabulous packaging.
