Absolute Sport La Rive 2023

Once again, a fragrance from La Rive! So far, I have hardly been disappointed by this brand, which is mostly found on the shelves of drugstores. And here too, the price/performance ratio hits hard again.
My general opinion: Anyone who expects an original Chanel fragrance for just about €8/100ml really belongs in an "institution"!
But it goes without saying that I should mention I had muscle soreness in my left index finger... why?
Well... the usual 4-5 sprays I apply were hardly enough during the first wear to perceive this cheapie even in the medium term. Therefore, I decided on the second attempt to press the spray head until I felt a tingling numbness in my index finger. And lo and behold: There it is! I needed barely 20 sprays to create a truly lovely aura around me. In the festively decorated office, compliments started pouring in immediately! "What, at this price?" exclaimed a colleague while nibbling on a piece of Christmas stollen.
About the scent: The opening is, of course, citrusy fresh... almost as I know it from the "original." Sure, it smells a bit sharp and synthetic... but so do other - significantly more expensive - fragrances; therefore, this is not a disqualifying factor for me. After about an hour (yes... it was still there), I noticed a distinctly greener note. Slightly earthy... and I fancy I detected a hint of vetiver. Later, this impression rounded off positively with a pleasant glide into a sweet powderiness. It had now been about 6 hours since my fragrance shower, and I still felt clean and refreshed.
Conclusion: A solid cheapie freshie for people with strong finger muscles.
