What do reviewers say about Janine D. and Rive Gauche?
Janine D. asks nothing of you. A 1976 chypre with a cool green opening that settles into powdery florals, romanticism without apology. It doesn't demand attention or require explanation.Janine D.
Rive Gauche is not a safe choice. Its aldehydic opening hits like a slap before settling into something genuinely confident. Rose and jasmine carry the heart with understated grace but the drydown,.Rive Gauche
