Give Me Love La Rive
1
Not an Escada dupe like some claim
Bought this because it's supposed to be a dupe for Pacific Paradise . While there are some similarities, it's not a dupe:
- Give Me Love has similar lime and banana notes that Pacific Paradise does
- Pacific Paradise has more sweetness/other fruity notes, that Give Me Love does not have
- Give Me Love is overall more aquatic and tart than Pacific Paradise is
Still really refreshing for summer, and super cheap!
P.S. I tried layering Have Fun and "Give Me Love" (to see if that combo was closer to Pacific Paradise) - but unfortunately, the two fought with each other and it became a powdery, "cucumber-like", aquatic mess of notes. Any of the fruity sweetness from Have Fun was lost, and I couldn't even smell the lime in Give Me Love.
