Her Choice

This La Rive is so new, I was surprised to find it here in the US to buy so soon- and extremely pleased because I have a sample of My Way and love it, but can't afford it yet. I can't swear they are 100% identical smelling but they are close enough my nose can't tell the difference... and it might be one of La Rive's better performers. They put it in their "Medium" line (there are Classic, Medium, Premium and Prestige, which I assume all correlates to level of quality/intensity) so take that for what you will; certainly I could still catch whiffs of it several hours later on both my skin and my clothing. I won't need to but I would buy it again, that's how much I like the scent and the performance of it. For a La Rive, 8/10.

I picked this as a gift for my best friend a year or two ago. I was new to fragrances with no clue of notes, brands and such. After trying maybe over a dozen perfumes in a Rossmann store, I smelled this and was like "Woah, this is good!" After giving My Way a try upon learning that Her Choice is a dupe of it, I can say that they smell extremely similar, and I actually like Her Choice more. This perfume is very sweet and floral. First it smells fruity, then it dries down to a bouquet of flowers while still retaining the fruity sweetness. I honestly love it. It sadly doesn't last very long but hey, it's only €6 for 100ml. Just spray more lol. If I were to personify this perfume, I'd say it's that one friend that you can always rely on. She is sweet, caring, youthful but also elegant. She is an amazing person. Even if we go our seperate ways, I'll respect her choice and continue to admire her from afar.

OMG ..... Even after reading all the reviews, that this is similar to My Way, I bought it thinking that there must be noticeable differences. But NO there is not!!! This is the same. Unbelievable. I'm flabbergasted. I have never come across a dupe, there is SO identical to it's expensive designer counterpart. How is this even legal 😅😅 But hey..... Consumer win win 💪👍🥳🥳🤩🤩 Follow up ...... If I have to pin point a difference, Her Choice is a bit more aggressive right out of the bottle, a bit like "in your face", and perhaps a bit on longevity. My way orginal, has better staying power. With Her Choice, you need to reaply. But for that price (I payed just under 7€ for 100 ml) you can reaply all you want 🥳

To my nose Her Choice is 90% - 95% identical to My way by Armani. If you smell them side by side you can tell small differences like a bit more red berry in My way or Her Choise going to the dry down quicker. But if I smell them a day apart I don't think I could tell you which is which. A 30ml bottle of My way by Armani is usually sold for 71-83 euro (in my area) which is a steep price for a sweet bubble gummy perfume that has ok performance. A bottle 100ml of Her Choice I can find for 6 - 8 euro so less than a tenth of the price for more than 3x the amount of perfume. I don't think I will re purchase My way when I run out and will stick with the much cheaper dupe.

I tried sample of Giorgio Armani My Way and I like it, but I was not in a financial mood to buy it. I heard some girls talking about La Rive and how good it is, but I was skeptical. Then I saw in the same perfume store that it was on Sale for only 5eur so I bought it. Oh boy, it is so identical to My Way, you can't tell the difference. It last long, smell nice. I definitely recommend this one. Big bottle of 100ml for only 5e, on my skin it lasted about 4h. So it's a good buy. Also, I tried other La Rive dupes and fragrances, but I didn't find them special nor good dupes, yet very weak. Only this one is a Gem!
