An absolute price-performance hit from La Rive

Wow, what a great fragrance from La Rive. Yes, it is a dupe of SWY, without question. But a really, really good one that also has a few unique features that the original doesn't have. A certain peppery note at the beginning, then a transition to nutty-sweet and a minimal hint of tobacco notes and wood in the drydown. Very very cool. Longevity and sillage are okay, for the price you just spray again after 3-4 hours and that's it.

Has become my absolute favorite daily in the last few days, for the price an absolute no-brainer.

Freshly baked unisex

The mixture of present sweet vanilla with a light spice mix a la cardamom, cinnamon & warm pepper with a light fruit and nut aroma in the background gives me a feeling of an incredibly heart-warming hug in cold times.

A light fresh breeze preserves the scent from the vanilla vat abyss
Later on, woody notes also come to my nose and enrich the fragrance immensely with a tart, steadfast strength that makes it interesting.
A tad more synthetic and sweetly superficial than Armani SWY.
P/L the top hammer
Bottle absolutely OK for the price, name terribly unnecessarily old-fashioned.

May also work on a hot summer evening.
Just love this thing

the warm and cozy winter cracker

I was once walking through my favorite supermarket and thought that I could browse through the fragrances. And that's how I came across this awesome dupe from Armani SwY absolutely. Not only does it smell almost exactly like the original, but it's even cheaper than the original at a proud €7 for 100ml.
For me it lasts up to 4 hours in a nice vanilla aura.

You can proudly say that you have made a good purchase

Great as a dupe

Good SWY dupe, yet less boozy, and of course less longevity.

I think La Rive did great on this one, smells way better that its price, warm, cozy, amazing to spray on sweaters on winter, I tried this one form fall to now, and it's been a pleasant surprise, Longevity is as expected from a product on this price range, but amazing results when sprayed on clothes, as I said, when sprayed on a sweater or on a scarf, this will last for a good while.

Just beware, don't overspray otherwise it can become a little cloying or loud.

Great for winter afternoons/nights.

SWY for secondary school.

It's quite well made, especially for the price. La Rive always convinces with the top notes, which smell really good and are very close. But the original is more mature, more complex and, above all, more magical, and after 30 minutes on the skin it becomes quite flat, like the earth for some. It's still clearly perceptible, but there's no real steam under the hood, the deep DNA is there, but the depth is missing. I'm not really convinced. Especially because you can get the SWY for as little as 40 euros. I'm not so critical of class B Freshies, you can just slap them on during sports or after a shower. I miss the area of application a little here. But it's great for teenagers.
