My Only Wish

I just bought this perfume today. I already have La Rive Touch of Kiss and I love it! It smells very expensive and layered. I was looking for a perfume that is lighter, for spring time. I tried this out of curiosity and I LOVE it!!! 🥰 It reminds me of Eden by Cacharel, just a bit toned down. I love how Eden smells from the bottle, but on my skin it smells somehow sour. This one smells on my skin exactly like the Eden smells from the bottle! It is a bit minty, then there is a milky-caramel layer. I do smell raspberry as well. A bit citrusy when sprayed, but dries down to this lovely mixture. Overall it just smells so subtle and feminine, very non-aggressive perfume that has deep, layered notes. I think this is perfect for spring or summer. It does not smell cheap of flat or synthetic, for me this is a very refined perfume. It is very unique. And so so affordable!! It is not very strong, but as the price is great you can spray it throughout the day. I tried Yes I am from Cacharel once and I did not like it. But I will try it again, on my skin, after I have this perfume. So far to me this is more of a dupe for toned-down Eden! 😍

Red-Berry Pavlova Scent... This is a dupe of Yes I Am Cacharel with good approximation and moderate performance. Opens with a with a fruity sweet burst that gives an impression of red-berries. As it transitions to the heart, white-florals combine to bring a lactonic accord with warm-spicy, creamy-sweet & faintly clean touches. For me, this is so close to a gourmand, except for the clean touches from orange-blossom, however, the way it's blended here gives the illusion of pavlova meringue shell. Overall I get a red-berry pavlova scent, as with Yes I Am Cacharel, however the performance here is quite light in keeping with the majority of La Rive scents I've tested. Performance improves dramatically with dark storage after first sprays, but at that point it's still average, or slightly above average, for year round wear. This is easier to wear in warmer weather than Yes I Am Cacharel. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

When I first sprayed this, I was hit with a synthetic blue raspberry jolly rancher scent. It smelled very medicinal and I was so disappointed. But I let it dry down on my skin and oh my goodness! I smelled like berries with whipped cream and caramel. It’s not overly sweet but it’s a fruity, creamy and warm scent. I don’t own anything like this in my collection and I’m so happy that I have her. This fragrance has layer’s baby! But it only lasts an hour on my skin and about 2 hours on my clothes which really sucks. La rive fragrances smell so good but they don’t last😭 Edit: I over sprayed this today (like 10sprays) and I could smell it on my clothes for about 8 hours. Silllage was strong the first 4 hours but started to fade after that. This smells so good but you gotta over spray this baby!

Wow this smells so good. It smells pretty much identical to Yes I Am, which is in my top favorites. Something about this reminds me of cinnamon apple sauce, while Yes I Am reminds me of a Chai tea latte. I feel like this one has some sort of apple type smell that I don't get in Yes I Am. Somehow it still smells almost identical. Doesn't last as long but it does project pretty well. I did get a compliment the only time I've worn this around other people so that's always good.

This is quite delightful. I get a milky caramel dessert vibe joined by a Jolly Rancher type candy fruit. It’s very linear- what you spray is what you get. It’s delicious and I love it. It doesn’t last too long, a couple of hours maybe, but it doesn’t cost too much so... there you go. ETA: I have Cacharel Yes I Am Fabulous now and I like this La Rive better!!!
