Wave of Love

I received CK woman as a sample. As soon as I put it on I knew I owned it already, in another form...La Rive Wave of love. One spray on each wrist and after 2 minutes they are exactly the same, with CK having a more masculine (typical CK dna) bergamot note and Wave beginning and staying with the drydown phase of CK. Since the performance of both is short (one hour) I would rather save my pennies and reapply with Wave of Love. A very pretty uplifting clean scent with a hint of musk; feminine wafts of fresh tea and soft pretty florals. Perfect for a humid summer day. Very happy with my La Rives!

The trick with Wave of Love is to wear it in hot weather. In cold weather I get Light Blue from it (which I can't stand).... cleaning products and bitter woods with a masculine lean and that's why I was going to declutter it. I tried it again on a really hot day in the UK (very humid) and bam! There is the tea and purple florals! This is perfect for high heat and considering that Eclat D'Arpege is a fleeting perfume, this is a great option because if you have to respray it a lot, you might as well get the dupe as it's a bigger bottle for less £. If lilac is what you're after and you can't pick it up in Wave of Love / Eclat D'Arpege, try one of the Drop D'Issey flankers! Similar vibe but maybe a bit more of a Lilac punch :)

A good dupe of Lanvin's Eclat d'Arpege. Usually Lanvin fragrances are soft, clean, feminine and safe. So is this one. Sweet fruity floral scent (peaches, strawberries, lilac, osmathus). The lemon notes fade very fast on my skin. Oh...and very nice minty tea note which I find pretty long lasting. If you are not familliar with Lavin Eclat d'Arpege, I'd give you another very popular reference, D&G Light Blue, but without the ozonic notes. This is indeed a good fragrance for the price. Not very long wearing, but so are the more expensive ones that I mentioned before. I agree with the previous comment that it is very safe for a gift, I can hardly imagine someone hating it.

Pleasant fragrance. Soft, fresh and feminine. Smells like a good liquid hand soap. The strongest notes to my nose are lemon and tea, but i also detect musk and the flowers. I think it is a very nice fragrance for spring and summer. Safe blind buy, safe gift. Appropriate for all ages. The bottle looks a bit cheap, but the scent smells expensiver than it really is. Thumbs up!

Smells fresh, citrusy, perfect for spring and summer. Doesn't last long, around two and a half hours, sits close to the skin, but for the price I think it's just right.
