A Successful Dupe
This fragrance certainly is.
I have been told by several sources that the brand La Rive is perceived as scratchy. That is not the case for me.
Destinée even comes to me without the nasty alcohol note upon the first spray.

In my opinion, the similarity to the original is very high, but I am also not an expert.

I like this blend of fruits and flowers.
It is quite elegant and a bit sexy, without being too intrusive or overloaded.

Of course, you have to reapply more often, but at this price, that really doesn't hurt.

All in all, a beautiful dupe at an unbeatable price that I will definitely repurchase once the bottle is empty.

My God, you are good!
When I tested the fragrance in the drugstore, I could hardly believe that it was supposed to be a twin to Libre. I had to confirm several times that this was indeed ('really) Destinee; with nonexistent eyesight, I simply couldn't have verified it myself, at least not physically. I couldn't connect Destinee with Libre, as I remembered Libre being an absolutely different scent, an overload of lavender. But it was once again one that came to my nose at the end of one of my testing marathons... And only today could I test it quite unfiltered and find the parallels and the clear kinship.
Now back to Destinee. What wafted into my nose? Sweet floral, opulent, elegant, lively, seductive, and incredibly feminine! However, I didn't see it on me; I had a different type of woman in my mind's eye for this perfume, and yet... it wouldn't leave my head. After some back and forth, I ended up buying it, as my sweetheart was able to convince me otherwise, because in his opinion, it suited me perfectly. He was right; I didn't feel as out of place with this scent as I had thought, but rather quite comfortable, and I even received compliments and the question of what wonderful fragrance I was wearing. It is a true little treasure that can do a hell of a lot for its price and smells considerably more expensive than the €7 you pay for it. It fits everywhere, yet possesses something radiant and festive, without appearing overdressed; definitely a hidden gem, especially if you want a toned-down version of Libre, but not (cheap), or if you're looking for a good, affordable all-rounder with radiance.

A lovely dupe for Libre Eau de Toilette. A bit less lavender. A floral dream. Thanks to Candyscent❤️

light hints of Libre
smells high-quality
however softer, gentler
with a minimal dish soap note
quickly becomes skin-close

Like a lighter version of Libre. Vanilla and lavender are softer than in the original. Smells high-quality, affordable wearable alternative.

The mandarin is supported by blossoms, a bunch of lavender, and amber.
Smells like it wants to be more expensive than it is. But okay!

After some initial difficulties (which I also had with Libre), I'm now addicted. Well-groomed, gentle, mature. Great for everyday use.

floral, seductive, incredibly self-assured, sexy, and above all, quirky. Has a festive quality.

Reminds me of Varensia White. Artificial floral notes linger in the cool-powdery base for a long time. I still find it more likable than Libre.

As a scent twin, Libre YSL is mentioned here... I can't understand it...

Oh, beautiful floral feminine. Lighter version of Libre. Hint of lavender with orange blossom and vanilla fluff. Honey vibes. Top P/L. H ok.

A nice clone of Libre EtP, not much more to say. Fruity-sweet with floral notes, but far from Libre Intense.
