In Woman

Purchased La Rive In Woman based on these reviews, and because I absolutely love and adore Armani Si. I’ve been getting samples of Si from Sephora for years now and have yet to purchase it. Occasionally I read up on current reviews of my favorite fragrances and was reading Si reviews and noticed that La Rive In Woman was listed as similar to Si. Naturally I instantly read up on LRIW reviews and most, if not all, comments are favorable, and say it’s a dup of Si. That’s all I needed to click and purchase a 3 oz edp on Ebay for $20ish bucks. Just tried it on today and YES it is identical! I’m thrilled! It has longevity as well. I sprayed at 10:30 am and it’s now 8:20 pm and I still can smell it. Not offensive either. Sprayed my pulse points—wrists, neck and cleavage—5 short sprays. Lovely, beautiful scent! (Thought maybe silage wouldn’t last because I had purchased VS Noir Tease based on reviews that it’s similar to Viva La Juicy. It is similar, but it had no longevity at all—an hour tops.) Needless to say, I’m extremely happy with my purchase. I “kinda” feel bad for Armani though, like I’m betraying them, because I adore many of their scents and Si, but went behind their back and purchased another. Hmmm.. I may need to purchase Si too so I don’t feel like that. You can never have too many good perfumes, right? Lol....

This is my favorite La Rive so far. It is just so good!! Fresh, sweet with vanilla dry-down but not too sweet. The blackcurrant is blended nicely with some woods and rose. I can't get enough of this scent. Of course since it's a budget perfume, it is a watered down version of OG Armani Si, but if you layer it 2-3x, you will build up the scent and what an amazing fragrance it is. I only just sampled Si at the mall but for some reason, I prefer In Woman over Si. I love the feeling that I can just overspray this and it never gets too heavy or cloying. And I am only paying pennies compared to $$ for Si. It is worth every penny! I may get the OG in the future, but for now, I am immensely enjoying this wonderful version of it. Edit: I just bought Armani Si and I have to say that Armani Si's longevity is an abysmal 3-4 hrs only. And In Woman has a bit better performance. I take back what I said about In Woman being watered down, it really is not. It's not a powerhouse but it is definitely not a body mist either. It's a true EDP. The main difference that I notice is that Armani Si has more woodsy notes and In Woman has more vanilla. I prefer La Rive's version. I will be returning the Si because of poor performance.

I smelled Si at Ulta a while back, but I do not have it on hand to compare so I won't. I 'm pretty sure they smell at least quite similar. This is a gorgeous fragrance. The opening is so beautiful. It is sweet without being cloying. I found it to be fairly linear. 12 hours later it softened to a skin scent, but it was still clearly there. The vanilla and ambroxan to me smelled just a tad similar to Cloud or BR540 in the fluffy marshmallow bit, but this is so grown up and sexy. I'm not sure what ambroxan is supposed to "smell" like but all the fragrances I come across that have ambroxan listed as a note are sort of "cloud-like", fluffy, sweet. So, I am ASSuming that's what it is. My husband absolutely loved it and he'd get this dreamy look of ecstasy when the scent would waft over to him. I'm very pleased with the performance, silage, and the scent of this perfume. I loved La Rive's Tender, but I did not like their Sweet Hope as it was just flat and zero performance. This definitely fits along more of the quality of Tender. I think La Rive can have hits or misses, but this one is a huge hit for me.

All being said about the scent and its obvious similarity to Si, I can only add a personal note: after my beloved Indian Summer was discontinued, I'm still desperately trying to find a replacement. So far I've found two - totally UNLIKE my long-lost love but in the same "late summer" vibe: they're Far Away Bella by Avon and In by La Rive. They keep me from crying over Indian Summer - and that's already a success:) So if you're looking for a late-summer perfume that is perfectly inexpensive - this is the one!!! Oh, one more thing: Folks here are saying that this is an exact copy of Si. Well - I say it's much better than Si! My nose just loves it. In doesn't hold one irritating note that Si does - I'm not sure what it is. But In is simply more wearable alongside being equally long-lasting.

I bought IN WOMAN, because I love Armani SI, but because it's so expensive, and reviews tell me that IN WOMAN is a great likeness, then I ordered it, and it cost me £9 for 90ml. I can tell you that it is beautiful, and its exactly the same to my nose, as ARMANI SI.... even if you blind bought this and didnt like it, £9 for 90ml? its no loss at all, but I will not need to buy Si now because this ticks all the boxes for me, and its unlike anything that I have, so although I have a large perfume collection, this perfume is a fragrance like no other I own. So I know it will be worn a lot, and I will be buying back ups, it really is that beautiful. Its very long lasting on me, approx 10-12 hours. Longevity 10/10 Sillage 10/10 Si Likeness 10/10

JUST SAY YES !!! _______________________________________________________ SI by Giorgio Armani is by far one of the fragrances I love the most (hence, the the top spot on my list). I love the Black Currant and very powerful vanilla, which surprisingly isn't too overwhelming -> Ever since 'Si', I fell in love with Christine Nagel. 'In Woman' by La Rive is an exact copy, and when I say exact, I mean it. There is absolutely no difference between them, well just the huge price difference (In Woman costs about 5 Euros). Even if you blind buy it... you can't go wrong with a very powerful fragrance for 5€. Longetivity: - 10/10 Sillage: - 10/10 All in all: 10 out of 10 points (a cheap but extremely good version of SI)

Very good dupe for Si' by Giorgio Armani, mainly after the full dry down 20-30 min in. On first spray, the pungent alcohol is overpowering, so don't sniff it immediately! It isn't as intoxicating or complex as Si'. In Woman is lighter in body and a little more sweet-sour as opposed to the syrupy, day-old red wine vibe that Si' has, but both are great. I still need to get my hands on a full bottle of Si', but this will definitely provide that same vibe until I can purchase the original. Definitely worth picking up, even if it is to use half and half with Si' to cut down on the expense! LOL. A girl has got to do what a girl is got to do! ;) 9/10 on this one.

I love this, i don ́t currently use this, because i use the Mod Vanilla by Ariana Grande and Sexy Chamallow by Skil. I think this is more of a winter and fall perfume. I love it so much. Currently in crisis that should i buy more sexy chamallow or this... i also have the deodorant of this.. WOW. I get so many complimets. I would rate it 4/5. Because it do not last all day but liikeee 5-6 hours. I don ́t like the real one the "Si" one, can ́t remember the brand, I think this one is more like woody? not sure. the Si one is more sweet, and pricey and they smell 99% the same. I would def recommend this!! Buy it for sure, also the spray deodorant:) !

Very feminine and pretty smell, sweet vanilla but not too sweet and also "creamy". It's warm and relaxing. Fits every occasion and is a soft, not aggressive or super strong, but definitely noticeable. I would say it's pretty ideal if you are looking for a perfume to wear at work, since it's just enough smell and not too much to disturb others. On my skin it lasts about 3h pretty strong, then it starts to fade, but i would say it's modereate lasting especially when it's so cheap. Sillage is soft to moderate. Maybe in clothes it would last stronger for a longer period of time. This is my favourite fragrance in a long long time!

Very similar to Armani Si and Elizabeth Arden Always Red in scent but not in longevity. I own all 3 and love each. Lack of longevity doesn't bother me because I scored 2 bottles of "In" for $20! In my opinion, La Rive clones smell most similar to their authentic inspirations in the predominant notes. They capture the essence of the authentic, but fail to transition to the other notes and layers. I like to spray "Si" first and carry this gem in my bag for top ups throughout the day! Will repurchase again for sure along with any other La Rive clone that accompanies the authentic version I own!

Bought this perfume few weeks ago after read all the comments here. And for me, this La Rive In Woman is successfully stole my nose! It is a perfect dupe for Armani Si, with a bit shorter longevity. The silage is as good as Si, makes everyone recognize it when I'm using it. But yeah not all people love the sweetness of Si or this In Woman. It is a sweet and heavy perfume. I'd rather use it for night occasion than daytime. I love Armani Si, but it is pricey. So, with this affordable La Rive, I will definitely buy another bottle of this for stock. :D

Wow I really like this one. This is a sweet and warm fragrance perfect for the fall and winter, and a really affordable addition to my fledgling collection. I have not tried Armani Sì, so I can't compare it yet but it looks like an overwhelming majority think the two are quite similar. The vanilla really performs well in this one, and the sweetness is just intoxicating. Edit: definitely see the resemblance to Sí, I cannot tell the difference when compared side by side.

It's amazing, I am so glad I purchased it! It smells exactly like Si by Armani, has a great longevity and you can get it for a song. I searched in several different cities in my country till I find it, but finally I have my bottle and I'm so happy since I was nostalgic for the seductive smell of Si. Now i can drench myself in it, without worrying I spray a super expensive fragrance lavishly. Even the color of the bottle reminds of the Si's one.

After years of having this on my test list, I finally got my nose on it. What a gorgeous scent! While I don't have GA Si right here to compare, I recall that one being more spicy. But other than that, they are extremely similar, and I absolutely would love to add this $10 gem to my wardrobe! It's sweet, but not overly so. And it has a sophistication and confident reserve about it that makes it so incredibly appealing. Highly recommended!

Initial spray of this and all I got was just alcohol. However, I put in back in my drawer for a few days out of the box and then gave it another try. Ohhhh it’s so beautiful, I get a mature blackcurrant, sweet but not juvenile. Vanilla, a little boozy. Like a syrup or liqueur. It’s delicious. I can smell it in myself for hours!

Very pretty Summer vanilla fragrance with a good rosy currant leaf/patchouli for extra interest. Thankfully not exceedingly sweet; just charmingly right and excellent value. Highly recommended as an easy-to-wear option for every day.

I have both Armani si and this and I agree, this is an excellent dupe. It does have a slightly less silage & not as long lasting as the original. I'll just spray more and more often, it's still very nice and very affordable.

Well, it is true. This is a SPECTACULAR dupe of Armani Si!! It has a tiny touch less cassis, which makes it smoother and I love it even more than Si. Mmmmm OMG, girls treat yourself to this crazy cheap beauty!! Like NOW!

Folks, if you think of this as a boozy green vanilla, you’ll be in heaven! This lasted 6+ hours on my skin and has a lovely gentle dry down. This could be quite intoxicating at the right events! Very impressed !

I'm a fan! The original '' Si '' doesn't last for more than an hour on my skin, while this one smells very similar and good. It lasts for 5 hours or more. Totally worth it for this price!
