Beauty

Not a Dhalia Divin EDT dupe, certainly. In its league Dhalia is unique, very light and creamy. Yes they share the black currant, rose and jasmine but La Rive's Beauty has strong amber, patchouli & vanilla which truly make it turn almost smoky on my skin. Beauty opens up deep sweet & intense almost like Si indeed, its a very nice blend of bergamot, litchi and mandarin, theres a slight sourness in this from the mandarin but much deeper than Dhalia overall. The drydown is very smoky like i said, I smell my skin and it smells like Im a smoker like ive touched a cigarette; this can turn me off a bit but it makes it mature and heavier. I love it indeed and the sillage is loud, longevity amazing. I try not to wear it on the days ill stop by the gym as it is heavy, but it is professional/work friendly and sophisticated, for the 30+ youthful crowd. Also doesnt smell like a 15 bux perfume, for real. Edit: how it compares to In Woman by La rive. They're identical. Upon application you can detect slight differences. In Woman is fresher (black currant leaf) and lighter,less sweet, no smokiness, no sourness. Beauty is more fruity and sour, richer and with better lasting power. Id say In Woman is better for warmer weather, Beauty for winter.

I am just going to second what has already been said... Beauty is practically “In Woman Intense”. It is the same scent, same notes, just a bit more luxe. I am wearing one on each arm right now and they smell very, very close. Longevity and sillage is similar, I actually get several hours out of both of these (fragrance eating skin). Sprayed before work 6hrs ago and still had enough skin scent left to be noticeable, score! Resprayed to compare top notes, heart and base again and, as I felt earlier today, so so similar.I do feel Beauty is slightly “more” so what someone else said about using In Woman for warmer months and Beauty for colder makes sense. In Woman’s bottle is tall and skinny (easier to hold and store), Beauty’s bottle is a hefty, heavy glass square that takes up some tray real estate. Both are pretty fragrances and excellent dupes for Si. Price point is great (and the same, either can be had for around $15). I am going to put Beauty away until fall and keep enjoying In Woman for now! ETA: I luckily get none of the smoke/ashtray in the dry down. Even as a former smoker, that would be a dealbreaker for me.

I ordered and got this last week and this is so good: not too heavy, not synthetic in my opinion, reminds me of Si and In Woman by La Rive. In Woman is lighter and I prefer scents that perform well, but I love also In Woman. It's suitable for every season and any time of the day. It's fruity enough and rose is not too dominant: a scent can be boring, if rose is very dominant (but for example Red Jeans is rosy but also fruity and I love that scent also. Cute by La Rive is a little bit too rosy, but I'll wear it anyway). Blackcurrant is most noticeable from fruits, I get also vanilla, wood and citrus. I've got many sweet scents and this is good for a change, not very sweet. Great work from La Rive!

Wow this is incredible, smells very high quality and expensive just like 'Taste of Kiss' from this brand. Long story short: This is really Armani Si, I cannot tell a difference with my nose either. Development on the skin is rather similar too. Very sophisticated! Longevity is around 7 hours on my skin with the final 3 being a skin scent. Projection is great, just like 'taste of kiss' you will be noticed and complimented :) Really sexy, feminine, clean & classy, well-blended winter perfume. 95% dupe of Armani Si. You can't go wrong with this one, it's brilliant.

Bought this as part of small la rive haul (sweet hope, taste of kiss, in flames, miss dream, have fun and this). This is definitely my favourite of them all. It’s like wrapping myself into beautiful lychee-mandarin cloud. Yet it’s not sickeningly sweet and fruity. It’s rich, deep. I keep smelling my wrists, it’s so addictive 😅 the longevity is around 4-6 hours on my skin. But for the price I’m willing to respray every few hours. I can’t compare to Si, but this is just the best perfume buy I’ve ever made..... got it for ~7€. (8$).
