In Flames La Rive 2015

Since some clones are quite wrong, I like to have your estimated perfume ratings at hand when testing to be able to make a preselection. This is what appeared on the well rated and available on the shelf of La Rive.

One... no two... Get me some test strips. First the La Rive, then the original. I was already flabbergasted. The top notes were almost identical in direct comparison and especially the hazelnut was clearly perceptible in both. I found this hazelnut note to be special and was, besides the price, the reason why I bought it spontaneously.

When I applied it to my body I was a little disappointed, because instead of the hazelnut I only took flowery notes and the jasmine note was the one I didn't like much. After about 10 minutes, relief sets in, the rose joins in and I feel as if I am lying freshly creamed in a flower meadow. A state to linger in, everyday stress byebye, serenity come around.

Yes, In Flames, you and I have become friends. You were not quite what I expected, but you are doing me good and I am happy to have you ☺️.
