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$).

I was completely shocked at how close this is to Armani’s Si (literally 100% dupe to my nose) , but the performance of this fragrance is impressive to say the least. Especially for the price!! I could smell it on my skin for about 7-8 hours! It lasts on the clothes a long time as well and you can definitely still get whiffs of it throughout it’s wear time! I adore this fragrance and see no reason to spend more money on Armani when this is literally the same fragrance and longevity🙌🏾

Agree with many others, spot on dupe for Armani Si to my nose. In Woman is another that may be even closer, but this one has the better longevity of the two. All three are like a warm, chypre vanilla hug you just can't stop smelling. Office friendly and still appropriate for date night. Elegant and understated, mature but not old.

This matures into a SUGAR BOMB! I've had mine for about 2 yrs now. It has macerated into a thick, syrupy, blackberry jam with amber and a liiiiiiiiiiiight citrus. Fall scent now. Too cloying for warm weather.

Wow this smells like Si - the signature syrupy fruity goodness. Went to check here to make sure I've not gone insane but turns out it's true. On me Si though lasts longer but this was a nice surprise in a bundle buy and will use it up for sure.

This is identical to Si by Giorgio Armani, many people can't tell the difference when i wear it on my right arm and the OG Si (new formulation) on the left one.. Yes the longevity is less, but for the price it's ok.

Scent, itself, is alright, but has a strong alcohol smell for a few minutes. Don't like that part of it!

I'm a total beginner at fragrances. Thought I should start with something cheap. Ordered 5 La Rive perfumes and totally regretted it, such a waste of money. I only became interested in wearing perfume a few months ago, when I realized it doesn't have to be a torture (was always sensitive to perfume, most just induce nausea). So I read some reviews on here, and most were positive, which influenced my decision to buy five bottles of this synthetic hell. This one opens with a nice citrusy smell for a change, but it quickly turns into something very synthetic and nauseating.

Wow , I have never had such a " cheap " perfume be so warm and spicy and delicious as this one . I bought it for about $20 dollars from Amazon . I truly can't believe how much I like this one , I have bought cheaper scentuals both by someone saying you should try this or that one out , and I have blind bought a few recently as well , that were just as amazing as this one . Here are the notes : Top notes are mandarin orange, bergamot, black currant and litchi; middle notes are jasmine, orange blossom, rose and patchouli; base notes are vanilla, sandalwood, musk and amber. I'm a lot late to the party on this one , even though I've heard of the brand but had not tried any , I really do get this one , it is an amazing scent ~ I'll have to try some others as well from La Rive ~ ///=^} ~ If you like those notes and appreciate a spicy oriental a worthy choice for a $20.00 , a great purchase . I'm glad I finally bit that proverbial bullet on this ~ I am not interested if this is a dupe or not , I do care that it is what other reviewers have posted it was ~ Thank You for that , so yeah , woohoo ~ I enjoy this a lot more than some I've paid three times the price for ~

I don't know if I got a bad bottle or my nose just isn't picking up a lot of the top noted but at first whiff I get a lot of the jasmine and patchouli with some sweetness from the vanilla and maybe a hit of amber that makes it kind of smokey. Everything together smells like a smokey, soapy white floral mess in the first ten minutes, it's really heavy. And then after ten minutes I get more of the fruits coming through, the mandarin, litchi, black currant... I wish the fruitiness came in earlier and lasted longer, it would have made this a lot more wearable all year round. I think because of the heaviness it is better for colder weather. Maybe I'll try in woman since someone said it's lighter? But a lot of people are also saying they're identical? Can someone confirm whether in woman is Lightner and fruitier? Less of that smokey soapiness this has?

La Rive beauty is a very respectable perfume. I've always had great success with La Rive perfumes. I cannot compare this to Si because I have never experienced Si. Beauty has great longevity (a few days) on my clothing and projects moderately for the first few hours. It is bright and has some depth therefore, can be worn in any season. I will be passing this Beauty along because it has a "peach-like" note that is persistent and bothersome to me. Otherwise, a very good performing fragrance.

Simply put.... La Rive Beauty....goes on a little "harsh-ish" which passes quickly....then you are left with Armani Si. (maybe...a little "stronger" Armani Si...IMHO). Great...for the price !!! I will recommend this one.

Don’t get In woman get this one instead. Smells way better quality has better lasting power and projection This one does indeed smell like Si In smells like a cheap imitation

Definitely Armani Si. Which is kind of strange because La Rive already has In Woman which is also Armani Si. Beauty smells a bit deeper and richer than In Wkman.

I used this as a closet spray for my clothes. Two weeks in and it still smells delicious. So I guess if you want it to last, spray your clothes :)
