L'Amour de l'art, 1950:
"Bois de Sud by Rival: cedar from Lebanon, dark ebony from Macassar, pale sycamore, incorruptible sandalwood burnt in the temples of Mysore, resinous cedar and jasper evoke this scent of the south which is perhaps an invitation to leave for travelers on place and those repressed from adventure.
Huis-Clos by Rival: On a perfumed confidence the door closed in a quivering of muslin... On the caressing gathers of a negligee, Huis-Clos - perfume of fine parts - adds one more mystery to the charm of femininity.
Ondes by Rival: subtle and haunting like any fluid, it exhales in successive waves, giving off the aroma of the most colorful flowers as well as the poignant smell of Russian leather."
