The spice cabinet has been neglected in perfumery. I imagine this has to do with perfume producers not wanting to be pinned down by the literal, the prosaic, the kitchen. From the consumer...

Firstly, its been a while since I have posted, so hello to all. Rive. I have been wearing this for weeks on end is seems, for the sake of it. Since rearranging my collection, I have found this utility can always so permanent in reach. I can not avoid it. So, the question is; at one point, Rive was so widely available, and for cheap. Now, it has but almost disappeared, even in the discount stores. Wow. Mind you, I have a 3 can back-up supply, but, is it gone for good? And have any of you experienced Rive? Is it gone for good?

I doubt it. I can find it at Wal-mart for $20 and mind you I'm in Newfoundland...

Indeed, this stuff is found in almost every Wal-Mart. Just most recently i went to the Wal-Mart in Square One, it had a large supply there (for $19.99 each). But i bought mine a while ago at the Brampton Perfumery.ca location for $29.99, that was before i knew Wal-Mart was carrying it. So Ric, i suggest you check out some Wal-Marts, you could get yourself at least 10 backups lol.

While you're there, pick up a bottle of Opium ph for $24. Thinking about it, when did YSL get so low?

Since Lasta mentioned Opium i might as well suggest that you go to your local Loblaws, they have things like Opium, Kouros, M7, Jazz...etc for $20-$30. Also, Shoppers carry the Gauche here and there, not sure about their price though. So as far as YSL goes i see lots of supplies, no need to worry especially not many people are fans of them anyway. Personally, i've got quite a bit of backups on these YSLs because of the deals around. I hope you find some.

This is why I hate living here: our Loblaws is called Dominion and the only thing they carry is Old Spice...

Sorry to hear that mate, Loblaws and Dominion are completely separate stores in Ontario, though one probably owns the other. But i've noticed the Dominions here dont really have cosmetic counters, and i was surprised that Loblaws did.

For sure you can visit Shoppers, but they might not have the cheapest prices around, and i guess availability might also be different from place to place.
