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!

Wine from start to middle, with some roses thrown in, then turns to dark chocolate in the drydown. Idk about you all but this is Valentines day in a bottle.

Wow, I had rather low expectations for this one. It really does smell great, and it is similar to Armani Si.

Like most I bought this as an Armani si dupe, hoping I could save some money by buying this instead of the original (£99 vs £8.54). For the price this is a very nice perfume and it doesn't smell overly cheap but for me it wasn't fooling my nose. This smells not like Armani si's dupe, more like some not so distant relative. It's not as sweet as Si, to me heavier and also smells more "woody" I suppose. Someone here said they can detect a sour note in Si, well this is what I can smell in La Rive but I don't get in Si. There's zero rose also which to me is what makes Si, Si. They're close, and for the massive price difference I don't know how much more could be reasonably expected. It's like a slightly less well blended version of Si that might use some cheaper ingredients, i don't know but I do know that I like it. It's not a replacement for me however and I doubt I'd buy it again just because I'd rather spend the money to get the exact fragrance I like. That being said if you're opposed to spending £100+ on a fragrance or you think Si is slightly too sweet In Woman makes a great compromise. I believe I even might've enjoyed the scent more if my purchase wasn't riding on the high expectations I had from other reviews saying it was like a rebottled Si. I'm beginning to think there isn't a dupe for Si

I finally got this perfume today alongside Queen of life of La Rive company and what can I say ? First, I am extremely shocked about how identical this perfume is to Armani Sì, I mean this is not a dupe but it's the same juice used for Sì without the fancy bottle, brand name or advertisement, even though I love Cate Blanchet. Of course I did not minimally expect such a high performance from a perfume considered a dupe. I thought it would be of not so fine ingredients and it would probably faint away in just one hour. To my HUGE SURPRISE that didn't happen . I took a shower and the scent is still going strong, not to mention its uncomparable sillage. My room was filled with this delicious fragrance and this hasn't happened so often with my other designer's perfumes. So yes, I dare say that this perfume has a much better performance than the original from which it's inspired. Thinking I wanted to get Sì and pay for its high ridiculous price and instead I got this cheapie and saved like 90% of my money makes me feel great. I'm thinking of exploring more fragrances from this house.

Light powdery sweet vanilla/Amber. This is such a soft sweet sensual scent. Verging on intoxicating. I purchased this after my boyfriend and I smelled a sample of Giorgio Armani si at perfumania. I fell in love with si and came across this dupe via fragrantica. I must say that In Woman does smell exactly like the sample I smelled. Maybe a tad softer though. I should be getting Si for my upcoming birthday so I will do a true comparison then but in the meantime I absolutely looovvveeee In Woman. I know this sounds weird but I imagine this is what Pam Grier probably smelled like in the 70's. It just fits her whole vibe (powerful and sexy yet alluring and carefree). You can't go wrong with a sexy vanilla based fragrance! This is the one to choose. Also! This scent is similar to my favorite perfume, Sofia by Sofia Vergara!! It's like Sofia without the blackberry and plum. No wonder why I love it.

Got this as a gift, had no clue at all about La Rive, and was surprised when I found out it smells exactly like Giorgio Armani Sì. Scent wise, it smells better for me because it doesn't have the very sharp opening Sì has. However, the performance is weak on me. I usually do 6 sprays and it only last 1 - 2,5 hours. At those first sprays the sillage isn't so bad, but after 20-30 minutes it's weaken and I only smell a small scent left. Overall I'm quite satisfied with this perfume, considering it's affordable price. It's a very good alternative to smell "as if expensive" without digging your wallet. But tbh there are other fragrances choices (ex.body mist) that cost cheaper but can last longer. Maybe it just doesn't suit my body chemistry. Anyway, I just found out about La Rive being a designer-perfumes-duper, so I can't wait to try their other perfumes next.

Buy it! A very good dupe of Armani Si. I was recommended this one and bought it thanks to my curious nature and the fact that I cannot afford Si at the moment. Of course I expected a shabby knock off. I mean come on, 'in woman' and 9 euro for 90ml? Still, I decided to give it a try, because what can go wrong for this price? And holy moly, it surprised me. It really smells the same as Si to me. I don't have Si on my shelf so I cannot compare the two right next to each other, but I think they are very, very similar. Is it chic to copy a scent? Nope, not at all. But it shows that the price you pay is not always justified. Normally I don't like exact dupes, I feel like I am cheating on the real deal... However, this one is too good to turn down. By all means , give it a try.

Its smells very similar to Si, which is amazing, but it is not as sharp as Si. The longevity and silage are both poor, even when I spray myself 5 or 6 times in a row. lol 2 spritzes of my $3 body spray last longer... Perhaps they changed the formula since its release in 2014, because the one I bought this week (March 2018) is not like how others described. I have to carry this heavy bottle in my purse in order to spray it before I leave my car, or the scent is not detectable by the time my drive to college in the morning is over. I don't want to financially support Armani (for moral reasons), nor do I want to pay such a heavy price tag for Si, so In Woman is as good as it gets for people like me.

Wow - I really like this. I don't have Armani Si to compare to it, so I'm reviewing just based on the fragrance as is and it's lovely. The rose isn't overdone, the vanilla is sweet and the patchouli and musk are balanced. I don't get much freesia, which is good because it is a note that usually doesn't do well with my chemistry. I'd wear it year-round but it would probably do best in cooler weather. I get moderate sillage and longevity and this was extremely inexpensive, especially for a blind buy. I have bought quite a few La Rive fragrances and have been happy with them for the most part. I'm surprised at how pretty and feminine this is. Close to a love for me.

This is a really good dupe of Georgio Armani Si. Often, dupes just smell like a weak, stale version of the original with either annoning cheap smelling sillage or no sillage, but the quality also seems similar here! It also lasts quite long on me. I compared them side to side and Si has more pronounced green notes, that last longer, while In has a more vanilla in the drydown, otherwise they are the same. If you don't mind the crazy name LOL and the no-so-fancy packaging it's a must buy! This is great in conjunction with Armani Si to make your own coordinating body lotion and shower gel with unscented products!

This is beautiful and sweet. Great mix of black currant and rose, heading into enticing vanilla and patchouli. The dry down is quiet with all of the notes just above a skin scent. I also appreciate that it doesn't reek with alcohol akin to some cheap dupe. The bottle is passable, no artistic gimmicks, cap is black plastic and fits well, the nozzle is plastic though. For 69tt this is a real find. I've always loved Armani 'Si' and five hundred people who suggests this is a close replica can't be wrong, right? I am glad I purchased this and will enjoy it for cool summer and evenings! A bit romantic too!

Glad I put this away for a month or two, like other reviewers recommended. When I first got it and sprayed some on, it smelled way too syrupy sweet and the other notes seemed a bit buried underneath because of it. But now that it’s sat for several weeks, it’s addictive. It’s a mildly sweet creamy vanilla blended with rich woody earthiness. There’s something subtle that gives off a coolness like mint, but it’s not minty. I can’t figure out what that is? I don’t know, but it’s so good! Projection is pretty good too. I especially like this on a cold night.

While the name is absolutely ridiculous ('in woman'? Really?!) the scent is an intriguing one. I can't really pin this down. Is it sweet? Green? Floral? I get a touch of caramel somewhere in there and then it changes on me. I want to love it but I haven't quite figured it out yet. It lasts for ages. I once sprayed this on a wool shawl, had it last all day, and then picked the shawl up a *week* later- still going strong! Sillage is amazing, especially for a cheap perfume. Maybe not good for sensitive noses or office environments.

I got this after I read an article here that this is the dupe for GA Si. It was very similar, but this has more sweetness than the woody. If you like woody rosey-vanilla you would like this. The only problem I have is the longevity that super short! It goes very weak like 2 hours and gone. I couldn't really complain because I got this for around $10/90ml but sometimes $2 mist stay longer than this. If you just looking out for something inexpensive perfume with a sophisticated kick then this is might be a choice.

The rumors are TRUE. This is Si rebottled. To be honest, now that I have the bottle in my collection, I think i actually prefer this bottle. It looked a little cheap in pictures, but it is quite nice. I can do without the amorphous black blob that tops si off. The scent is exactly as I remember Si to be and I love it. Smells like a sweet wine, as others have also said. Really mature, but also very modern and chic. 10/10 recommend this especially for the $10-11 price point. BUY IT ONE OF US. ONE OF US. ONE OF US.

This is my second review and l still believe this smells exactly the same as Armani Si. However l am no longer impresssed by this fragrance and doubt l would repurchase this after l finish my bottle. Something in this perfume really ruins this initial stage for me, perhaps the cassis? I really only tolerate the initial smell just so l can enjoy the warm vanilla drydown. Im just thankful l didnt fork out $90 for Si and discovered La Rive. But for those of you who do love Si, dont hesitate to buy this

Actually I never smell Giorgio Armani Si but this perfume quite well with cheap price. Pro's: Vanilla and Rose scent more intense; Noticed little of ambergris (?); Very cheap price; Available in 30 ml and 90 ml; Have a great base notes; Longevity good if swatched on my clothes; Sillage is good, not to enormous of too soft. Con's: For 1 minutes after price, feel this parfum little stink in my skin; Longevity so poor when I swatch in my skin, only for 30 minutes the I should spray more;

This one is sweet to my nose. It oddly reminds me of Miss Dior absolutely blooming. Both smell sweet but they shouldn’t? I don’t know to be honest. I’m really not into sweet scents. The reviewer below me says sí is even sweeter. I’ll make sure to steer clear of it. I also draw a similarity to BR540. This is a great quality scent for the money overall. It is a crowd pleaser. I personally wish it was less sweet and more fresh. The rose is drowned out in this juice too.

This is closer to the original formula of Si than the current reformulation of Si and is currently $95 less per oz. I know dupe houses can be hit or miss but this is a hit. Longevity is moderate but so is the performance of the current tragic reformulation of Si so you may want to consider respraying at $5/oz instead of $100/oz. My skin is sensitive and has had 0 issues with this formula. The atomizer is better on this bottle than the Armani bottle. Worth a try.

At the risk of sounding crazy - and I hope I don't do this fragrance a disservice, but the dry down on me has a hint of skin-close caramel coated popcorn. I still prefer the initial spray and the middle of Si Armani, but I prefer the dry-down of In-Woman on me. I've only tested Si Armani, I've never owned it so I don't know which I'd prefer if I were given more time to test both.

A nice scent. The opening is quite sharply green and fruity, but it dries down to a pleasant scent of vanilla and rose with light spiciness. I blind bought this, and even though I didn't completely fall in love with it, I'd say it's definitely worth the money, and I will use it in the future.

Definite dupe for Si Armani, probably one of the best I've tried. Sweet and slightly sharp currant, green rose, sweet vanilla, and very light spicy woods. Decent sillage, with decent longevity. It doesn't feel quite as heavy as the original, but it has a presence of its own. 8/10.

I'm so happy I stumbled across these grrat reviews because after reading them l ordered La Rive and I'm so glad I took the risk. A beautiful and elegant rose perfume like nothing else I own And ofcourse a fantastic Si dupe. Thank you Fragrantica <333

Great dupe for Armani Sí! I like it even more than the original. The leaf note is not so intensive here and it’s more pleasant. Overall, it’s a potent fruity fragrance. Sweet but not sickening, feminine. Great value for the money. Final note: 8,5/10

I bought it to carry it in my purse for layering. But truthfully it is a good scent on it's own. Not super long lasting, 4h aprox., silage is ok, not too strong. It is lovely.

If you like sweet and sour fragrances like Sì, La Belle, l’Interdit and so on, this is for you. For a tiny price, you’ll have a serious bomb. My husband swooned, and so do I.

This is a lovely green rose and vanilla. I don't usually like green notes, but this is very well blended and it smells like spring. My favorite offering from La Rive so far.

Love the scent, not long lasting, but great price and worth reapplying if needed Wearing to office, non-offensive, subtle smell-nothing overpowering.

Creamy musky vanilla with a powdery dry down. Feminine and classy scent! Not sweet at all so if you’re looking for something sweet, I’d skip this!

I can't believe how good this is! I have original Armani Si and i love IT, but i definitely love this too!
