La Rive is always highly praised here for good dupes. (For) Woman has been jumping in my eye from time to time. The cartons on the Bipa shelves are always spread out to waste space. The presentation speaks more for understatement than for cheap goods. And I'm not perfume snob at all. So get that stuff up here! It smelled wonderfully fresh on the test strip.
But oops... What's that? What's that? I first smell diffuse synthetic freshness on the skin. Kind of not as nice as I expected. Allspice and freesia, is that it? Well, well, if you say so. . Do you know that when cheap room scents somehow smell fresh and flowery? But not after a certain flower but just somehow after flower halt. That would be h8ie the top note.
Then we continue with Lacoste pour Femme. He lives off the smell of fresh shower and cream. But already a good hour ago and at all it is much too warm again. Just before you start sweating. The Lacoste is a huge human being. But it doesn't smell sweaty, but like warm, freshly groomed skin.
La Rive Woman smells the same, except that the chemistry is pretty much in the background, which makes the fragrance seem quite musty and dull despite the clean freshness. That's what bothers me so much here. A clean scent, a skin scent with a funny chemical note in the background. I'm getting really out of shape from the smell. It reminds me of fake perfumes that are thrown away at street markets in certain tourist centres. I used to sniff it there once in a while. Most of them smelled like soap, alcohol or just chemical. Say: La Rive Woman smells to me like I imagine a fake Lacoste pour Femme.
So despite 35% (does this pay off at all with such a favourable fragrance??) it was not packed.
I would strongly recommend those who are looking for a cheap alternative to Lacoste to test this dupe beforehand. Maybe you'll have more luck and don't smell the chemistry like that.
I made a splash on the back of my hand. I smelled the scent for about 3 hours. There was no base. The whole thing somehow fell apart and after said 3 hours mur gave more of a soapy touch to the skin. Sillage was also rather weak. However, the fragrance is sold in 100ml tubs anyway. You can spray more generously than that. But for me, Woman isn't an option
