banana-sweet smooth Hay Fire
A Cabana here, a Grey Point there, a Scotish here, a Mr. Sharp there. I liked some La Rive and used it from time to time. Some I find completely unusable and some I can do little with. I don't even want to use the pretty red one with the turtle, the apple catastrophe, as a label remover. Blurry is at least aptly made, Amber King has something, the Sauvage Dupe is strangely popular and Heroic is really good for its type, even if it's too fruity for me most days. But I haven't yet come across a La Rive, which I always like to smell. PlotTwist: La Rive Dupe conquers me and wins over the original. Top DryDown: Ripe bananas, hot bananas, hay silo parcel and a slice of honeydew melon.

Fahrenheit memories for sure too. I just wanted to describe here detached from it for now, but it's an apt imitation of the original.

As for Hitfire's assertiveness, sprayed a whiff on my pants in the evening, I can still smell it the next night (including on the bus after work at 23:00). Every now and then I'm surprised by a pleasant, sweet scent that unexpectedly hits my nose and I remember, oh yes, I sprayed Hitfire on my pants.
Some people will probably be upset that I'm saying that it lasts 10, but if a perfume lasts as long as it should, then I'll give it full marks and anything longer than that would be unnecessary. So I prefer to rate rather than indicate intensity.

The name Hitfire certainly has good reasons, but the fragrance is so soft and completely unsmoky that it sounds misleading in a way. Speaking of which, visually, the bottle still lacks the color yellow to fully represent the fragrance. Yellow like hay, melons and bananas.

Good but weaker Fahrenheit clone
Fahrenheit by Dior is the signature scent of my brother, and is for my taste a bit too penetrating masculine, you could say a testosterone boost. Since I can imagine but quite situations where you can wear such a fragrance, I have struck at this La Rive copy times. At the price you can not go wrong.

The bottle is colored to the original and comes in a standard form.

The fragrance immediately unfolds the typical Fahrenheit aroma. I could today again gegentesten the original and the scent differences are rather small, especially in the top note. The main difference is in the strength. I find the original to be more of a sillage bomb and this one comes in much weaker. After the top note fades away, it becomes quite skin tight. But you can smell him even after more than 6h still directly on the skin.

Apply more generously and re-spray, and the Hitfire is a good low-budget alternative.

Amazing
I was curious, when I saw this fragrance for €7 on a webshop. Is it really that something this cheap can smell almost similar to a much more expensive scent?
Does it come close? Or will I get this really cheap cloud around me of some louche company?
So I decided to give it a go for this price.

And upon the first few sprays it already hit me... and was blown away!
Unbelievable that for this price, this smells almost identical to Fahrenheit.
Yes, almost...of course.
There are some slight differences. Mainly the quality, longevity and silage.
The quality is not bad, but you just know it's less. For this price.
Longevity was about 5 hours.
Silage was weak. It stays close to you, which isn't bad but could be better.
Also, the scent doesn't develop. After spraying it stays like this until it's gone.

BUT... for what's it worth...
It was unbelievable and I'm amazed. Well done La Rive.
Very well done!

A better "Fahrenheit" than current one
I bought it for about 5 euros. Smells very, very good, for me it smells better than actual formulation of Fahrenheit, but projection is average. A sorty of Fahrenheit cologne. Good for office, where you want a discreet perfume. Logevity is OK, I smell it on the skin even after 7-8 hours. But it smells stronger only in first 1-2 hours. For the price it's OK, IMHO.
