Today I once again strolled through the perfume department of the drugstore with the 2 letters and the one with the M.
Once more, I found myself in front of La Rive, trying 'Cash' for the 3rd time, and despite the breezy cooling today and consequently being sweat-free, I just didn't like this scent anymore.
So I went through my created list on my phone, sniffed nearly every perfume from La Rive, and stopped at 'Touch of Woman'.
Strange, special, and beautiful all at once.
I pulled out my phone and checked the list to see which designer perfume this is supposed to be a dupe for.
I then walked around the corner, positioned myself in front of the shelf with YSL fragrances, and boldly sprayed 'Black Opium' on the test strip.
The opening of both scents is different.
Touch of Woman by La Rive has some underlying, indefinable note that resonates... but is quickly replaced by a pleasant scent that I really like.
Compared to the original, I hardly smell any difference and am truly surprised.
I like the black bottle with the simple cap, but they could have been more creative regarding the shape, and as for the childish pink writing, less would have been more.
But so be it.
The scent is pleasing, comes damn close to the original after unfolding, and is unbeatable in price.
Currently available at M for €4.95 on sale ;)
