![]() ![]() In keeping with this style, Rive Gauche opens with a champagne-sparkle of aldehydes, but where this shimmer is fizzy and vibrant in fragrances such as Chanel’s No5, it is much more subdued in the YSL. Rive Gauche is classified as an aldehydic floral – a genre of fragrance that has fallen out of favour since the late ‘80s, much to the dismay of this glamour-loving writer. Top: Bergamot, Aldehydes, Ylang-Ylang and Freesia Rive Gauche is a bold fragrance with shoulder pads, but unlike other heavy hitters of the decade, this one offsets its distinct character with the soft and elegant tailoring that Yves Saint Laurent was renowned for. It’s a fragrance that takes no prisoners and speaks of confidence, as well as a serious passion for haute couture. Housed within a striking blue tin can adorned with black and silver stripes, this fragrance burst on to the scene as a wearable form of attitude rather than a personal fragrance. Rive Gauche was launched by Saint Laurent in 1971 and was penned by perfumers Michael Hy (Calandre by Paco Rabanne) and Jacques Polge (currently in-house ‘nose’ for Chanel). Rive Gauche is perhaps one of the most notable of these fragrances, and out of all four, it is the most indicative of Yves Saint Laurent’s spirit (the man and the brand’s) – capturing perfectly the idea of Parisian life on the fashionable left bank of the Seine. ![]() In a period of 12 years the brand launched Opium, Paris, Kouros and Rive Gauche – four of the most noteworthy olfactory creations the perfume industry has to offer. YSL is a brand with its fair share of iconic fragrances.

Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication.īut still pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has the necessary Authority code.As you may have gathered from my review of Yves Saint Laurent’s inimitable Opium a few weeks ago, I do like to take a look back at some of perfumery’s biggest icons. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS.Īuthority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances. Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS.
