Women for Teens
La Rive and I will probably never be friends. There’s always something that bothers me about the scents from this brand, and I can't quite put my finger on what it is. I consider the fragrances not as dupes, but as independent scents that have a resemblance to something more high-quality.

In the shelf of my regular drugstore, I found three new fragrances from La Rive. The slender, red bottle appealed to me visually, and after a quick test, it went straight into the shopping cart along with toothpaste, soap, and shampoo. At home, I then tested the fragrance again at my leisure.

As always with this brand, the opening struck me as extremely synthetic, reminiscent of a mix of hairspray from a concrete hairstyle and alcohol. Also, as usual, it faded quickly. A bit of fruit came into play, but I couldn't distinguish exactly what it was. Definitely sweet. Shortly after, rose, jasmine, and heliotrope joined in. Together with the opening, it was nothing special. The dry down was a bit bitter and woody. Vanilla was not detectable. All in all, it was nice, inconspicuous, and tame. Not for women but rather for teens.

I can't call the fragrance successful. It's more of a neither here nor there. Too heavy for the summer months, as it has a heavy undertone, and too light for the winter months. After about two hours, the scent was simply gone for me.

There’s only a hint of similarity to Si Passione, and it stands as an independent fragrance. You can't go wrong with it, but if you don't have it, it's not tragic, as it lacks presence.

The bottle is noble and elegant and promises more than what’s inside.

... unbelievable...
... I can hardly smell the fragrance, even though I practically drenched myself in it with almost 10 sprays PLUS reapplying after 2 hours. I had expected a bit more from the actual scent experience, at least something more powerful in the background. Of course, I bought it to try a cheap dupe of Sì Passione Eau de Parfum, I generally have no problem with good dupes. However, I also had the opportunity to sniff the original yesterday - it seems to be rather weak as well (oh dear, what a pun =))

... about the scent itself: dish soap with shower gel aroma =) This combination doesn't have to be bad at all, but it immediately decides in the first moment whether you like it or not. I'm having a bit of trouble with the top note - once that has faded, a slightly sweet strawberry-like something emerges, with a spicy grape mix! It really smells delicious, BUT I would like it to be three times as strong and with a bit more background radiance. Then I wouldn't need so much fragrance material, which would cost less and be more ecological in the long run. AND I can only smell everything because I sprayed my shirt - hardly anything comes through on my skin.

For me, therefore, no repeat offender - Destinée has a bit more pep. Actually open to dupes (not replicas where everything is fake), I unfortunately find this one to be a waste of money, even though it didn't cost me 7 euros, but let's see how it layers, as I can imagine that In Woman Red is certainly not bad - as the background radiance that I'm missing in the scent itself.

A Young Dream
I bought it as my own fragrance, not as a dupe (especially since I don’t even know what Si Passione smells like).
A very young scent, I would say under 21.
Upon spraying, there’s a slight, brief alcohol note and then a sweet, clean scent with flowers and blackcurrant.
I don’t really perceive any woody notes, nor vanilla.
To me, it smells more like a fruity sweetness, not a vanilla sweetness.
Pear only slightly comes through.
My aunt also tested it and thinks it’s the best and most high-quality one from La Rive that she knows (she is quite critical about perfumes).
But for her, it’s too young; for me, it’s perfect, she says (she is in her mid-30s, I’m under 18).

So far, it’s also my favorite from La Rive of all that I’ve tested, and it will definitely become my everyday companion.

For the price, you can’t go wrong (if you like sweet scents) :)

Late Summer Evening
I really like the warm - fruity character of this fragrance. It is not overly sweet, and I personally especially love the jasmine in the heart note. The pink pepper balances the pear very pleasantly, and the currants provide the necessary zest.
It is definitely more suited for younger women, perhaps those under 25.
It reminds me of a late summer evening when the last currants on the bush smell warmed by the sun and the first pears can be picked.

Matches the bottle....
.....fruity, red, sweet. Vanilla, powdery, beautiful. Without squeaky fruity sweetness. I actually find it rather mature. And quite feminine, somehow sexy and attractive. On my skin, it performs well. Not too strong, not too weak.
It reminds me of currants, in a rose-jasmine bed with a blanket of red vanilla velvet. And unlike the other IN variant from La Rive, thankfully no wooden board in sight.
I don't know the original, but I'm tempted to test this one as well.
In this case, you definitely can't go wrong for such little money. I'm someone who sprays on again after work anyway. Compulsively, so to speak.

Romantic and warm, fruity but not immature. It sits close to the skin, all the better. To me this sexy scent is meant for close encounters.

Soft, bright, and less woody on my skin than "Sì Passione." For me, it's the more beautiful interpretation.

I like it better than the original. Sweet-fruity, nice blackcurrant and a lovely base. Lasts quite well, my man likes it too :-)

A good scent for those who like it sweet but don't want to overdo it in everyday life. Heliotrope is a bit like a softener here.

I like it better than the original.
Original = Hair spray
Dupe = Fruit Vanilla
Long-lasting, without a scent trail.

Fruity with berries and pear at first, then warm, slightly rosy, and creamy vanilla... I think it's lovely for summer :)

Dupe? Ehh.. maybe a bit? Depends? Good overall? YES.
Typical La Rive, always a bit different yet still good :)

Sour berries, sour limes, and three tons of Ambroxan: a mix of In Woman and Light Blue. If the Ambrox bomb doesn't bother you - you've got something.
