Heroic Man La Rive

Recently, I was wandering around the small perfumery in my little town as usual. As always, I tested perfumes that I had never tried before, focusing on cheapies since I already know the expensive ones. One brand caught my eye, La Rive. I tested all the dupes they had, and one I liked very much… so sweet, so strong, so cozy. My first thought was, wow, this scent feels very familiar, and indeed, it was one of the Stronger with You line. I couldn't decide which one it was, either the Original or the Intensely, so I went to the Armani section to test it. The result: a bit sweeter and more cotton candy-like than the Original, but less sweet than the Intensely, yet just as good as both. It’s simply the perfect blend of the two, but if I’m honest, it resembles the Original more.
The sillage is really good, it does its job, and the price-performance ratio is good with La Rive anyway, no need to discuss that. The only thing one might complain about is the longevity, as the scent is close to the skin after 3 hours. In the meantime, however, it has perfect performance, and if you’re not a fragrance expert, you won’t figure out that it’s a dupe of SWY. So always reapply, but please don’t overspray, as it is a very strong perfume :-)
