Strange Kiss

Since I love fragrances that contain patchouli, I received this scent from an acquaintance. For her, it was an absolute mispurchase and only used once or twice. Just bought a few days ago. I have nothing against discounted items, but La Rive and I haven't been getting along lately.

You shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth... so I bravely tested it. The beginning, as always with La Rive, is dominated by a lot of hairspray. Shortly after, pear and bergamot were supposed to come, but all I smelled was plastic. Plastic runs through the entire fragrance, and combined with the fruits, which I couldn't smell individually, it created a mix reminiscent of fermented fruit. The rose scent, rather artificial, doesn't improve the concoction either. The dry down is then a colorful, synthetic mix that seems more show than substance. Patchouli is detectable in homeopathic doses. Everything is overwhelmed by the gibberish of the fragrance notes. In summary, it's muggy, indefinable, and artificial.

Unfortunately, I see no resemblance to La Nuit à Tressor. Anyone who knows this scent like I do and is looking for a dupe should better steer clear. I find La Nuit à Tressor pleasant, but it's not a candidate for purchase for me. The longevity is very long. Certainly pleasing for fans of the fragrance. Not for me, as it triggers the precursor to a migraine. Washed off with a sodium mixture.

The bottle is yet another unwieldy close-combat weapon that I don't like.

So this fragrance won't be moving into my cabinet either. It will probably end up in the trash. I wouldn't want to subject it to anyone else.

My perfect la nuit tresor

And I thought I didn't like (la nuit tresor). I tested it on a strip and it almost blew me away. The structure of the fragrance was way too rough for me, too spicy, no trace of berries, and its intensity was too much. However, the fragrance pyramid didn't let go of me, and neither did GirlofNow's comment on taste of kiss, so I had to get it during my last DM shopping trip, and it arrived today.
What can I say? It's a dream!!! I can sense the DNA of the original, but the roughness here is much smoother. When I recall the original, this could be its drydown, after all the powerful notes have finally faded away. And according to my imagination of that base, taste of kiss smells vanillic, slightly smoky, fruity, creamy, simply incredibly delicious, like ripe sugared berries with lots of whipped cream and an incredible amount of vanilla.
I sprayed it in the crook of my elbow 3.5 hours ago, and I can still faintly smell it there.
It has a somewhat festive quality and is, in my opinion, well-suited for going out, celebrating, and other events where you meet many people.
I'm playing a gig with a band today and I'm wavering between Taste of kiss and Olympea blossom; let's see which one I ultimately wear for the performance.

Pink Tulle Dress with Faux Leather Jacket

If "Taste of Kiss" were an outfit, it would look like this for me:
Hanging in my closet is my beloved pink tulle dress with ruffles. The top layer of tulle has integrated dots in the fabric and a subtle print that mainly consists of flowers.
I usually wear it only in summer because of the bandeau neckline, and even then, I feel like I wear it far too rarely, as I see myself standing in front of it and facing a big problem:
How do I combine this piece without looking like a wannabe fairy princess?
For this reason, I usually opt for fishnet tights and somewhat sturdier boots, and in the evening, I swing the (faux-*) leather jacket over my arm.
(*As a wannabe vegetarian and world improver, I just don't see the need for real leather.)

Color-wise, "Taste of Kiss" would match my outfit very well.
The bottle is appropriately square, with the lower pink part seamlessly transitioning into black.
As a fan of square bottles (I prefer them to be rectangular), I like the design, which is kept simple and straightforward. The box looks cheap, but who cares, it's best to just toss it directly into the recycling.
As with all LaRives, in my opinion, it's better to pinch your nose for the first few seconds, at least until the slightly sharp smell of alcohol fades away.
It's worth it because underneath lies a little treasure.
The strawberry note does remind me of a chemical gummy fruit aroma mixed into cream (which is why it doesn't burn your nose), but synthetic isn't always bad for me; moreover, the fruits harmonize wonderfully with the sweets that are also in "Taste of Kiss."
"Taste of Kiss" - the taste of a kiss. Hmmm... The lady in the pink tulle dress, boots, and leather jacket must have smoked, but that must have been yesterday, as you can only faintly smell it on her jacket.
And even though, as a militant non-smoker, I really don't like smoke, I would probably kiss her anyway, the rock-chic fairy princess.
She did everything right, especially considering that you can find her for 6-7€ at your local drugstore.
Longevity is decent; I can smell the scent on my skin for several hours (but I would have to check the time and pay close attention).
The sillage is also good; at first, you notice a small cloud around you, but the scent quickly becomes intimate, which I personally prefer much more.
With large scent clouds around people, I am often reminded of an Obscurus - anyone who has seen "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" knows that this creature is not a good thing - because, in my humble opinion, you wear a perfume for yourself and should ideally keep it as close to yourself as possible.
After all, you can't please everyone, and certainly not everyone's nose.
Just like "Taste of Kiss" is definitely not something everyone would enjoy smelling.
I do. I especially love gourmands, and it can't be sweet enough for me, but the strength of "Taste of Kiss" lies in the fact that it doesn't overdo it, but rather scores with subtle restraint and reduced sweetness.
Whether I would wear "Taste of Kiss" in summer, as opposed to the described outfit, remains to be seen. But as the saying goes? The attempt makes wise.

All in all, an 8 out of 10.

You seem very familiar to me!!!:)))

Today I went to the perfume store with my mother; this time we weren't looking for a perfume for me but for her:)). Let's just say her favorite scent is la vie est belle florale by Lancome, and unfortunately, that scent has been discontinued. My mother asked me if I knew a fragrance that smells exactly like it... And then I thought of the scent from la rive called queen of life. While she was testing it and sniffing other fragrances, I was also diligently sniffing around since I was once again looking for a good fruity, gourmand scent that isn't too strong but still pleasantly sweet. The saleswoman already had a rough idea of my fragrance taste and recommended that I try this scent from la rive, which she apparently likes very much. I looked at the bottle and the name, wondering if I had heard anything about this scent... Still, no one really came to mind, so I thought to myself, let’s give it a try:)) When I sprayed it on, I was captivated by this scent as it reminded me very strongly of la nuit Tresor...*-*

The saleswoman smiled at me and said: Well... does this scent seem familiar to you???? I looked at her with a smile and wide eyes and was somehow speechless... (Yes, you can think what you want, but this scent is just amazing! So far, it’s the best dupe for la nuit tresor!) Many here also know la nuit Tresor... With this scent, just like with any other, either you love it like I do, or you can’t stand it because it’s too sweet and too strong.
When I sprayed it on, I initially smelled the fruity notes very strongly, which isn’t really different from la nuit tresor; however, with this one, everything is lighter and not as strong and sweet. After a short time, around 1 minute, you can already smell the gourmand notes; with LNT, the delicious sticky sweetness is extremely pronounced, while this one is sweet but not sticky sweet, rather airy, I would say. Personally, I can smell the vanilla note much more in Taste of Kiss, but there is also a certain coffee note present from time to time (No, it’s not the coffee note from Black Opium). I smell caramel and praline especially strong in the base note, but not too much and not too little; it’s actually just right:)) Longevity and sillage are very good for a la rive scent, I think around 5 hours on the skin, but on clothing, sweet scents like this one usually last up to 2 days for me.
My conclusion... If you like very sweet gourmand scents, you should take a closer look at La nuit Tresor and just test it:))) But if you say I want a scent that is sweet but not too sweet, which can also be worn perfectly in everyday life and doesn’t bother anyone, then you should take a closer look at this one and test it. Personally, I find both very well done, but my favorite remains La nuit Tresor:)))) I just really hope that I was able to compare the two scents well;))
