Cuté

I never tried Chloé so I don't care if this little beauty is a dupe! I'm writing thinking of those who know nothing about both fragrances in mind. Cuté has a very good reputation among bloggers/influencers from my country and I, even not usually going with the masses, thought, why not? It's cheap, it has rose, it's not another gourmand - I'm a bit tired of feeling them everywhere - I'm sad and kinda impulsive atm and I want a simple floral for daily use so let's go blind buy it 🙃🤗 I was afraid of the strong alcoholic presence of many cheap perfume brands, even having emptied a small bottle of "In Woman" last year and not having this problem. But I was still expecting something that screams "cheap" and I never got it 😃 Cuté, it was instant love at the first spray. It feels like I'm inside a bathtub full with crushed rose petals, with a hint of green leaves. It's Mena Suvari inside that bathtub in "American Beauty" all over. No sweetness, no conventionally citrusy fresh, just pure fresh red rose with a touch of a comfortable wood, more noticeable when the fragrance tones down to a skin scent. Projects nicely and easily lasts around 6 hours on my skin, on clothes it lasts forever. Very feminine, the kind of femininity that doesn't try hard to impress or make itself known, it just exists naturally and it glows. If you're looking for PURE ROSE, go for it, but run away if you don't like it. This is a huge red rose bouquet for the quiet, romantic souls. Between my other lovely, more expensive designer fragrances I easily choose this as my signature.

I'm very pleased with this perfume, as I wanted a nice rose scent that didn't break the bank for spring. I love chloe fragrances, but as you all know, can be a bit pricey. I went on a limb and purchased this one from La Rive and they are a really decent perfume house! I own two other fragrances from them, and I have to say that it's really good quality for such an affordable price. Cute is just as the name implies, it's a cute fragrance. I wouldn't call it gorgeous or beautiful, but it's cute and pretty and feminine. The cedar in this fragrance isn't half bad, but it is a bit screechy in the opening. After about 5 minutes, this scent is nice and Rosey with a fresh edge. Edit: I'm starting to fall more and more in love with this perfume! It's unbelievably good. The more I wear it, the more gorgeous it becomes. I'm so into roses, and this is a rose done right!

When I first sprayed it, I thought.. "Oh no!! Its horrible!" I got smacked with a strong alcoholic scent which does not resemble Chloe at all. After a couple of minutes, it has died down and the scent starts to take form. And it does remind me of Chloe - a memory long ago. Its been awhile since I had her. It is fresh rose, very soapy with woody undertones. It is sheer so you will have to respray many times to get the potency you desire. I find that with La Rive fragrances, I have to layer them at least 2-3 times to get the scent to really come out. Otherwise it is very light. But for the price I paid, I dont mind overspraying again and again. It also makes for some fun layering with other fragrances.

I put this perfume on this morning, and the scent was gone long before the end of my work day. I'm not impressed with the lasting power (weak) or the sillage (soft), but I only paid $5 for it so I suppose I can't complain... much. I agree with the other reviewers that the fragrance smells a bit synthetic upon first spray but the dry down is nice and it took on a soapy quality on my skin after a while. If you enjoy this fragrance you might want to take a decant with you to reapply midday. Update: This fragrance performs much better in hot weather. Update 2: I bought Chloe and gave this away. Chloe performs better. Also, the scent was very very similar to the real Chloe.

I never ever condescens even to sniff La Rives perfumes - but that was until yesterday - and l came home with this little ting! To my surprise it was in fact very "cute", I'm always looking for the litchi and freesia, and peony, and it's a lot of it in this bottle, and the drydown is absolutely wondeful, and l think it is because of the soft cedar- and sandalwood. The only negativ thing about this perfume is the sour vibe in the opening, and the utterly ugly and boring bottle, the bottle should look more like it's contains and very nice name! PS: This perfume also reminds me of Ma Vie of Hugo Boss.
