Haneen Rivera

Found this at either TJ Maxx or Marshalls for only $17. What a steal. This stuff smells great, any time of day, all year. It's fruity but not in the tropical way, more of the berry/leather/saffron style, in a very good way. The floral Jasmine is definitely there, and then everything else just supports those very nicely. It is not overly anything, but fruity leather is the dominating smell. It projects and lasts amazingly well for something under $30, and it's neither excessively floral to be masculine, nor too woody/spicy/leathery to be feminine. Anyone can enjoy it if you like a fruity leather/saffron smell. And if this is emulating Thameen Riviere, which I've never smelled: if anyone can confirm that it smells even remotely close, don't even bother with the original because this one's a tiny fraction of the price.

Bought this over two years ago and immediately loved the scent. Over those two years I would spray it into the air almost as a guilty pleasure. It wears well, lasts pretty good about 6 to 7 hours and every time I smelled it I wanted to know how close this was to the OP Thameen Rivière. I figured even if it were close then I would love Rivière better. Well after two years I finally got a couple of samples of Rivière and it’s amazing, everything I wanted it to be, and this smells just like it, I’m sure it’s better quality materials but I think you’d be hard pressed to smell the difference and I found the original to last just about the same length of time. I’m content to continue wearing the dupe.

Almost all of the notes listed you can smell or pick up. Very good quality. It does not smell cheap, synthetic or linear and is blended well. It's dark, spicy, woody, musky, touch of leather with ripe almost fruity spicy floral notes. Florals, Oud and Spice. It's not sugar sweet or leather/rose heavy. More masculine. They really did a great job on this blend. It's supposed to be a dupe of Riviere. I just got this today and reapplied twice so I don't know longevity. I don't have anything in my collection that smells like this. 9/10 for scent, quality and value.

I really like this stuff. It's almost an addictive scent in a way. I'm not sure what I like so much about it. I'm guessing it's the sandalwood is so good. I consider this a Middle Eastern deep blue fragrance. It's spicy, sweet, fresh a bit aromatic. Like a Middle Eastern Savauge.

Great price ($14.99 at Marshalls, discounted to $12). Love the bottle color, secure cap, powerful atomizer, and of course the sweet fragrance. I love sweet unisex scents like this one. It puts me in a cozy mood. Recommend this one for Fall, Winter, and the cooler part of Spring.
