Dreamlike Antibiosis
In my childhood I made regular acquaintance with the well-known, not very popular tonsillitis. So often that one day the pediatrician looked at me through his round glasses with a benevolent, thoughtful expression and told me that these small tonsils in my throat would probably have to be operated on, if only there were another inflammatory process. Gosh, I had the creeps!
From then on, there was never again an inflammatory process in my tonsils, which from then on must have been shocked.

Yet I also have a strangely funny and familiar memory of the time of my tonsillitis, namely a wonderful scent. A scent that I have never since perceived anywhere close to this form - the scent of the antibiotic in the form of a pink, viscous, almost plural and molasses-like juice. This juice was always used when the dear almonds did not want to swell at all and the disease was too far advanced to be treated with parental love, sleep and tea. And it was exactly this scent that rubbed my nose a few days ago. It was the scent of La Rive - Give me Love.

In the local drugstore I smelled myself through the La Rive range, located rather in the lower area of the display of goods and shelves, where it is more convenient. But not necessarily less fragrant, as I was allowed to notice quite often. Give me Love seemed rather inconspicuous to me in a small bottle with a pink translucent lid, but that's exactly why I tried it. I sprayed twice on the paper, once on the back of my hand, and went outside the shop to smell the fragrance without any restrictions. "Wow....." I murmured aloud to myself. A lady, who was just about to enter the shop, turned to me in disgust. The smell ran around my nose, lay around my shoulders like a blanket of pink fluffy clouds on this cold, dark November afternoon and gave me not only memories of festering almonds but also a feeling of security, comfort and cheerfulness
Even though Give Me Love smells like the antibiotic of my childhood at first, EdP is developing in a more flowery direction. I can't make out a single component, and I don't notice a hint of coconut or banana, which could smell quite distinct. For me, the scent starts off rather soft, sweet, fruity and changes into a small bouquet of flowers. Like a fruit bowl with fresh, cool fruit, sprinkled with just cut flowers and petals.

In any case, the scent groped its way home with me and I put it on every day. Three or four squirts are not too thickly applied for me either. For me, the fragrance is a little secret tip with a nostalgic factor.

Let me say up front that I choose my fragrances by nose and not by brand or price. I can prefer a fragrance that is so-called kipper goods and on which some people look down, as on dirty children, an expensive fragrance of a luxury brand. So I also make the effort every now and then and look around at the lower end. I did that the days too.

Tested the fragrance discreetly, because so simply test and sniff is no longer in it, no matter what store you are. So this fragrance wandered more or less as a blind purchase in the cart. I used to find the La Rive fragrances better and more balanced, though I don't consider them dupe, but stand-alone scents with similarities to big sisters. Don't put them down as poorly made, cheap dupes, though, but rate them as fragrances in their own right.

Unfortunately, the new trend of the company gen valley made itself strongly noticeable with this fragrance with me. Actually, I'm careful when where coconut is in it. This is for me the scent of coconut macaroons at Christmas time and the scent of an extremely coconut-scented suntan lotion from the 70s. Both in moderation yes, but please not so much.

The beginning with me in itself quite nice with a fruity mixture where coconut has the say. In itself not bad. Then pineapple and banana and a trace of flowers. Could be rose or violet. That's not supposed to be in there. Together with the barely sniffable tart scents of the finish, a fruit salad with La Rive's signature hairspray note. In other fragrances, the hairspray disappears, but here it claws at the fruit salad.

It is not at all a nice, contemporary summer fragrance but a kind of homage to the 80s, where everything was a little too lush and too much. I just remember the fashion there, which was a stillless mix of exaggerations. Here with the fragrance but much ado about nothing, because after the monkeys raced through the forest and stole the coconut, is after a good 30 minutes quiet again and the fragrance after an hour gone. Is only topped by Yves Rocher. That brings it with me to a nice 15 minutes. On the skin remains a touch of peach and that's it. As a summer fragrance, it's not very good for me. There is Exotic Sun of UdV by lengths better. Now I have the fragrance and if we get another hot summer, then he could be used as a body spray despite its low durability.

The bottle is simple without frills and practical for the pocket

I like him
I first discovered this fragrance here. The pyramid has appealed to me, but the reviews hhaben deterred me. A familiar has picked up the fragrance and infected me with their enthusiasm, so he had to the last online Dm shopping with. Today it arrived and what can I say, I like it very much :) it is a happy mangolastiger fruit cocktail, which makes a good mood. On the wrist, it has something minimally pungent on me at the first moment, but it quickly fades away and on the neck it just seems tropical, fruity and light, not too sweet...La-rive fragrances have always had a bitter aftertaste in the back of my mind, as I couldn't associate anything nice with fragrances from Poland until now. My mother once brought me my beloved l'imperatrice by D&G, but the stuff was clearly plagiarized...itchy and all...and Give me love helped me overcome the phobia of La rive

Plastic peach in a small town on the Adriatic Sea
Although I find this fragrance really unpleasant, I tried it a second time in sunshine and warm temperatures. It immediately reminded me of my teenage years and catapulted me into the following scenario: I'm 14, I'm spending my summer vacation on the Adriatic coast, walking in the souvenir markets, and I can hear the sound of the waves in the background.
Back then I loved peach scent and I spent all my pocket money on peach scents and even on a very special shampoo from Guhl that smelled like peach.
For young girls who like fruity ,sweet summer scents and have to watch their pocket money, it is certainly not a bad purchase, but for someone who has already passed the age of 30, the fragrance is far too simple and not complex enough.

Not an Escada dupe like some claim
Bought this because it's supposed to be a dupe for Pacific Paradise . While there are some similarities, it's not a dupe:

- Give Me Love has similar lime and banana notes that Pacific Paradise does
- Pacific Paradise has more sweetness/other fruity notes, that Give Me Love does not have
- Give Me Love is overall more aquatic and tart than Pacific Paradise is

Still really refreshing for summer, and super cheap!

P.S. I tried layering Have Fun and "Give Me Love" (to see if that combo was closer to Pacific Paradise) - but unfortunately, the two fought with each other and it became a powdery, "cucumber-like", aquatic mess of notes. Any of the fruity sweetness from Have Fun was lost, and I couldn't even smell the lime in Give Me Love.
