In Love

This one misses the mark for me a little. The real J'adore is warmer and more complex. This turns into pear soap on me. Edit: Nearly a year later, and wearing this right this minute, I'd like to amend my review and completely change my stance on this. I like this better than the real thing. J'adore in anything but the oil formula is sharp, harsh and can be headache-inducing. I have grown to like this exactly for the reason I stated above- it smells like pear soap. It took me some time to be able to appreciate that, but I do now. Like most La Rive fragrances, the lasting power is in at least the four to six hour range, which for a fresh one is not bad at all.

This has power and strength in ice cold winter weather. It lasts long and you get to experience all of the notes. It's a blah waste of money in warmer weather. So those that don't get real Winters won't be able to enjoy this in all it's glory. It smells like Bbw wild honeysuckle with a little bit of beginning white diamonds. I like it now. I was mad when I first got it and put it aside for almost two years. I decided to give it another go and voila! Tis the season for In Love! 💕 Great cheapie for Minnesota Winters 🥶

I see some resemblance with J’adore, but this isn’t a good dupe of Jadore. At first I didn’t like it much, but then one day I overspray my self after shower and after hour magic started, I was still sniffing myself like this can’t be me! It was me, second and third hour was divine. Really good perfume on its own, got 4/5 hours. Fresh, clean, gentle, flowery.

When I first got this, I was a little confused as to why someone would just want to smell like soap. I tried it again once it warmed up outside, and now I get it. It smells like fancy shampoo, and I feel fresh and clean while wearing this. Not my favorite, but I find myself really reaching for this as we head into the summer months more and more.

I bought this one for my teenage daughter. At first she was a bit sceptical, saying it was a lot of pear and some apple in the notes. But after she wore it a couple of times she started to like it, now she loves it. A lot of her friends loves it too and compliments her when she weares it. And for 7 Euros it really is a great fragrance.
