I was really racking my brain trying to figure out where I smelled this before, then it hit me, yes, the original Rive Gauche EDT. I compared them side by side: the pure parfum Gauloise and the vintage Rive Gauche EDT – they are 99% identical, even considering the difference in concentrations. Glad I’m not the only one noticing this -therealpaloma54 xx

Underrated, high quality perfume.
See the reviews for this perfume on the basenotes website directory. They are more in-depth and give a better insight into the character of Gauloise.
Very elegant and suitable for all occasions

I have had this for a few years, but as I have so many other fragrances, and only this ONE bottle of Gauloises, I tend to always be “saving” it! To answer Action, I’d say the closest perfume to this is the original YSL Rive Gauche. It’s a rich aldehydic floral with a jasminic character. There is nothing in the scent which would bear a relationship to Gauloises cigarettes. Perhaps it would still be around today with different branding… A lovely scent, worth seeking out.

I bought this shortly after it was launched, in the pictured bottle. The casing is cool: it’s milk glass with a plastic top and reminiscent of the breezy French pop zeitgeist of the era.
The contents, however, are pretty square. In my replacement vintage edt, powder dominates, and through the powder there’s a little spiciness, like that of carnation, and a little mossy green. Try as I might, I detect no hyacinth, and I have fresh stems in front of me for comparison.
Gauloise is nostalgic for me, so I’m happy to have my white bottle back, but if I had no carefree, early-high school memories attached to it I’d give it a pass.

I loved using Gauloise many years ago and am unable to find it any more. Sad. I hope it comes back.

I found these reviews about this perfume to help you Action- cheers:)
While it is a floral, it has a musky sensuality to it as well. It has ‘legs’ too, lasting for several hours as the scent evolves Every time I wear this I get stopped by both men and women asking me what fragrance I’m wearing. I can tell you the men definitely love it on me when I wear it!
Smells waxy – like lipstick.

This fragrance is still unknown, the type of perfume and the notes. The image though seems quite intellectual. Anybody here that knows this one?? I am quite curious!!
