Queen of Life

Wow!!! Ok, so I was pouring through the forums here, looking for a La Vie Est Belle dupe...and hence, I found queen of life. Now, I don't hold much faith in dupe suggestions typically. I see perfumes being compared all the time that, to my nose, smell nothing alike. Like thela comparison of la vie est belle smelling like Killer Queen... I didn't get that correlation. And also so many other perfume dupe comparisons, I just don't agree with. Sure, they're in the same vein.. but when I say dupe, I mean a perfume that smells JUST like it. And I'm so shocked that queen of life delivers! This was the only one where people said it smelled EXACTLY like La Vie... And for the price of 14$ with included shipping, I couldn't go wrong! I bought blind without even questioning. I'm so happy I did, I love this sooo much!! So in the last few months, la vie est belle has become my signature and favorite perfume. Who knew? But the problem is how expensive it is. Especially how I go through a full sized bottle within a month (yes, that's how much I love and crave Vie Est Belle.) So I was running into the problem of spending a lot of money very often .. I couldn't be without a bottle. So that, along with the money I'm spending on other perfumes, was getting to be way too much. This is why I'm so happy about queen of life! It really does smell exactly like LVEB! I mean, it's the best dupe I've ever had. I will say that there are some differences... Queen of life isn't as deep, complex, or strong as LVEB. It doesn't pack that super strong punch like LVEB... but It holds its own.. the longevity is really good! Also, the patchouli may be slightly less dominant in queen of life, but it's still there.. ultimately, it still smells just like la vie. Just as sweet, just as iris gourmand, praline smothering cloud of yumminess! Perhaps it's just a tiny bit more floral. It's hard to tell.. I think the main difference is it lacks the sillage and monstrous initial power of LVEB. It's lighter. The only somewhat complaint (but not really) I have is the bottle and packaging being a little tacky and cheap lookong/feeling. However, it was only 14$ , so I suppose that's ok. I can't really complain. But the bottle does not properly represent the sensual juice inside! So, there a not much else to say. If you're looking for a lveb dupe, this is it! And probably the cheapest one. I haven't tried the otheir dupes I read about, but I'm happy with this. I can use this with a heavy hand all day.. And use LVEB only for nights out or for occasions. This is the daily errand version of La Vie. Still, queen of life is a strong, night time fragrance though. I'm truly impressed and I highly suggest it to Anyone who loves LVEB. It'll do the job without paying that 100$' . Thanks to the fragranticans that suggested this on the forums! I do still want to try Venezia Reyane or whatever. I just went with the cheapest one first lol

I remember going to the Munich Airport and smelled the La Vie Est Belle from Lancôme. Back then, it was advertised as a good gift on Mother‘s Day to your mother. However, as a 27 years old man I was inspired by the scent. After researching about it, I have found out that Queen of Life by La Rive was a close scent to one from Lancôme, I have decided to try one at local DM. And what? I fell in love with the scent, which is authentic and very pleasant to wear. Having read that the target audience of this perfume is „older women“, I felt that it exactly what I wanted to be associated with. As a gay guy who was born in Russia and was told a lot about importance of being masculine and wearing typical male stuff, I couldn’t imagine myself wearing that back there. However, now living in Europe and having an opportunity to express myself, I have discovered that my fragrance profile is more shaped with a „typical 50+ years old female“ vibes, so for me it was a time to wear it in public. It was a LGBTQ+ Pride event, where I have decided to wear a dress with prints of flowers and have this scent as the extension of myself. I felt so powerful, as I would be a mature, self-worth knowing woman who is blooming and making everyone happy. Who is extremely wise, who knows what she wants from her life, who has already different life experiences and who is strong but extremely feminine. This is exactly what I feel when I wear this fragrance in public. It makes me feel strong and powerful, ready for new adventures, like a Queen who has conquered this life on this Earth. Every now and then I spray myself and feel this vibes, so I am very happy with this one.

This is another win for La Rive with me. I love this perfume. It does fit in nicely with LVEB and all the other dupes/clones. I just love those types of scents. I just can't help myself. It's okay if they all don't smell perfectly the same to me. The patchouli is so dreamy. I just swoon when I get a whiff of myself. I sprayed 4 hours ago and while it isn't projecting as much as when I first sprayed, it's still going strong. This has decent longevity and silage at an affordable price. Wonderful! This will be a perfect addition to wear more on the daily and keep my coveted LVEB for more special occasions.

I’m someone who enjoys sweet fragrances like LVEB, but not enough to fork over $100 bucks for a bottle. So I’ve been searching for a nice dupe and heard about Queen of Life. It may not be *exactly* the same as LVEB, but for $15 online? I figured it was worth a shot. In my opinion, this is worth every penny of that paltry sum. This is really close to LVEB and I love how pronounced the iris and praline are to my nose. In fact, I actually prefer Queen of Life for that reason. The only thing more pleasing than this scent is the satisfaction of knowing that I saved $85, haha.

First I am a man and I really think that this specific Queen of life from la rive is a masterpiece, of course it is a clone of la vie est belle edp that was reformulated and a good clone for only 10 box that last 4 hours ,I bought it for my girlfriend as a backup to her Lancôme and I see my self using it too,yes , I think it a unisex version that also remind me of ultra male J.P.G. and you know what,I sprayed it 10 times on me 5 on my body and 5 on my shirt and the same day received a few females compliments , it is crazy ! Good job la rive
