Hitfire La Rive

Here a Cabana, there a Grey Point, here a Scotish, there a Mr Sharp. Some La Rive fragrances have appealed to me a bit and I have used them occasionally. I find some completely useless and I can do little with others. 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 done, Amber King has something, the Sauvage dupe is strangely popular, and Heroic is really good for its type, even though it’s too fruity for me on most days. But I haven’t come across a La Rive that I always enjoy smelling. Plot twist: La Rive dupe captivates me and triumphs over the original. Top dry down! Ripe bananas, hot bananas, hay-silo package, and a piece of honeydew melon.

Definitely also reminiscent of Fahrenheit. I just wanted to describe it detached at first, but it is a remarkable imitation of the original.

As for Hitfire's persistence, after spraying a hint on my pants in the evening, I can still smell it the next evening (among other things on the bus after work at 11:00 PM). I occasionally wonder about a pleasant sweet scent unexpectedly in my nose and remember, oh yes, I sprayed Hitfire on my pants.
Some may be upset that I say longevity is 10, but if a perfume achieves the duration that suits it, then for me that’s a full score and anything above would be unnecessary. So I prefer to evaluate based on assessment rather than indicating intensity.

The name Hitfire surely has good reasons, but the scent is so soft and completely non-smoky that it sounds somewhat misleading. Another point regarding its appearance is that the bottle still lacks the color yellow to fully represent the scent. Brown tones could definitely emerge from it. Because the scent of Hitfire reminds me of dried bananas. Not the crispy slices, but the leathery fillets.
That the selling price is around €8 and doesn’t even hit €9 (currently) is bananas. The affordability of Hitfire hits higher.
