Pleasant Everyday Blooms

When you really don't have any money for your hobby, you eventually end up with La Rive fragrances. Why not, there are some great options for everyday wear at a low price.
In the drugstore, I can only judge very superficially whether I like a scent or not. Colour didn’t make it into my basket because it blew me away, but rather because it was even on sale at a low price. Now Colour has been with me for half a year, and just this week it has accompanied me quite often.

It is floral and light, but not fresh or clean, rather just a tiny bit warm. It is close to the skin and uncomplicated. More for oneself than for the environment. At the moment, it is just right for the last remnants of summer, where autumn is already peeking through the leaves and the nights are getting quite cool.
The scent is simply structured. After spraying, wait a moment for the alcohol to evaporate. The red apple from the top note probably stays in the bottle. But already, the orange blossom rushes towards me. I can't have it all the time, but right now in late summer, it fits fantastically. It wraps around me and stays very close to the skin. It becomes warmer over time, a bit woody but rather indefinably woody instead of olive wood and sandalwood. The vanilla mixes in but doesn’t become sweet-gourmand, and together the scent fades rather quietly on the skin. Longevity: Feel free to reapply in the afternoon. Bottle: Well, it could be worse.
For 5€, it’s a great deal.

When I told someone yesterday about my small perfume collection, the person sitting next to me said, "But you're not wearing any perfume right now!" Yes, this one. I held out my arm. "Oh... yes, it blends so well with you." I thought that was a great compliment. :)

Yes, it will definitely suit you perfectly.
You can find La Rive not just when you're on a budget, but also if you have a good sense of value for money. However, I usually find the scents don't last long enough. I would probably give them all away.
