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.

When I was a little girl I had a small sample of Chloé edp that I carried around all the time and I looveeed it. I wanted to smell it again but I thought Chloé was a bit too expensive so when I came across Cute I got all excited and I bought it immediately. I must say it does not disappoint! It's obviously been like 5 years since I've smelled the original, but this dupe is very close to what I remember and it makes me so nostalgic! I think it's a little fruitier, but it's so nice! Probably my favorite rose fragrance I have ever smelled. Edit: it smells like a mix of Mon Paris Floral and Chloé!

I've got a sample the other day and decided to give it a go, and I really loved it. It smelled so delicious on my skin, floral, airy but not heavy. I've got a decant of Chloe and when I compared these two, both are not the same in my opinion. Chloe is more heavier, with thick Rose top notes, I feel almost dizzy with the Chloe. But not with this Cute. I want to get myself a bottle of this Cute because it smells soo good, so feminine, I can put it on after my bath and just sniff it all night before go to bed. That is how I really love Cute!

This literally smell’s exactly like the Chloé perfume. It lasts amazing. I sprayed it on my hoodie, and I could still smell it on there after 3 days. It lasts so long, and 4 sprays will make people smell you, especially if they’re next to you. I would say if a person could smell you from like at least more than an arm length away. Overall amazing for the price. This smells Rosey, musky, sharp. It smells like a rich, clean, fresh aunt that everyone just loves.

Thank you to sj.1996 for posting the actual notes from La Rive’s website: Top: peony, freesia, lychee Middle: rose, lily of the valley, magnolia Base: cedarwood, amber, sandalwood I wondered why I was smelling lily of the valley so strongly when it wasn't mentioned in the Fragrantica description! Also, I didn't smell Yuzu - because it is lychee instead! IMO this will be a nice spring/summer scent. It's too cold in the Midwest to wear it right now.

I'm very pleased with this fragrance, it reminds me a little bit of Chloe but it's not exactly a dupe. For me it's a way sweeter and better version of it and therefore I prefer this one over Chloe. It has a good lasting power, I can still smell it on my wrist after six hours. It is a sweet, cute, romantic, fine and put together fragrance which is appropriate for pretty much everyday (office/work/school/date etc.).

I've tried Chloe and not been impressed with it. This, however, strikes a slightly different note, and the harshness of the original is gone. I'm not even usually a fan of rose, but this has both a balanced sweetness and earthiness to it that keep it interesting. Also very long-lasting.

I have both Chloe & Cute and I find them to be very similar. Chloe is more complex and Cute is a bit harsh in the beginning, but eventually Cute settles down and smells very nice on my skin. The sillage is not as good as Chloe, but it's decent. For 10 dollars, it's a great buy.

La Rive perfumes really surprise me! For me it’s identical to Chloé EDP. People will compliment you on this perfume. I spray it a little more to make it last longer. When I use it up, I will buy it again. What a bargain. Thanks La Rive! :)

I bought this for my teenage daughter. She loves it, and me and the wife thinks it smells very nice on her. Very fresh, a real spring/summer fragrance

This is literally Chloe, but with less performance A very good alternative, tho!

Indeed it is similar to Chloe. Very nice!

With the iris, honeysuckle, and musk notes listed, I was expecting something powdery and soapy, but I do not get that with this fragrance. Mostly what I get is rose, and a screaming rose at that. With the cedar being the most prominent note in the base, sometimes this smells like rose scented bug spray, or rose geranium oil. Not what I expected, and yet I do really like this. It is one of my fragrances that tends to get stronger as it dries down, and I can often smells this on my skin the next day if I don't wash it off first. On clothes, the longevity is incredible. This is so strong at times that I would worry about wearing it in public. I would not call this a safe blind buy, unless you love rose and would like to smell it for hours and hours. This is my go-to scent for spring when I will be at home and not worried about offending others with my fragrance.

I bought this perfume to experience a Chloe like scent. I had to layer it twice to get the strength I wanted. This is a soft pink powdery laundry soap scent. I can see why this scent is a favorite and very addictive. I like it enough to keep in my collection along with jlo glow that smells like a pink dove bar : ) I also know that I don't need to break the bank to buy Chloe. La rive Cute fills the scent profile I was looking for perfectly Update: after my initial wear a put the bottle away for a month and wow did it get stronger... I notice that with all the la rive perfumes, they need time to settle after shipment. The performance is a good 8 hours now and longer on clothes. It still has a heady rose but also a deeper luminous scent mixed in. I don't have anything like this in my collection. I am consistently surprised and impressed by house of La Rive.

La Rive Cuté is a very nice fragrance, in my opinion at least: you can smell the woody tones very well, the florals and the lychee are less noticeable, but there's a feminine undertone to the scent nonetheless. Personally I'm not a huge fan of woody scents, but this perfume had such a charming antique and vintage vibe. It's also very "signature scent"-ish: you can wear it in all four seasons, and it's great as a day and night perfume. It also lasts long enough. If I had a young daughter who was in school, or colleagues who were into perfumes, I'd certainly recommend this one for them, because it's particularly ideal as an everyday work/school scent.

It smells really fresh and kind of bitter because of the litchi. Its perfect for spring and summer. You have to like freesia and peonies because these are very present. Its like a bouquet of flowers with a little bitterness from the litchi. Its versatile and femenine, kind of elegant and perfect for the office. Its innocent in a way but not childish. It blandes sweetness and bitterness very good. I dont know if this is a dupe from Clhoe perfum but its worth to try it. La Rive perfumes are very cheap. The projection sucks a little bit, so i will recommend to over spray it and spray it on clothes.
