Glow Femme

La Rive Glow is a women's fragrance from the Polish brand La Rive. It's known for being a very affordable alternative to a popular designer perfume.

The Scent Profile

La Rive Glow is a Floral Fruity fragrance. It's a fresh, light, and clean scent, often described as bright and elegant. The notes are:

• Top Notes: The opening is a mix of grapefruit and quince, which gives it a fresh, zesty, and slightly sweet character.

• Heart Notes: The middle notes are a floral blend of hyacinth and jasmine, adding a clean, airy, and slightly green floral feel.

• Base Notes: The dry down is a combination of iris, musk, cedar, and ambergris, which provides a soft, powdery, and musky base.

The overall aroma is clean, fresh, and slightly sweet, making it well-suited for everyday wear, especially in spring and summer.

Comparison to Other Perfumes

La Rive Glow is widely considered a "dupe" for Chanel Chance Eau Tendre. Both fragrances share a very similar structure, with a focus on fresh, fruity, and floral notes, and a clean, musky dry down.

Many reviewers note that Glow successfully captures the bright and sophisticated feel of Chance Eau Tendre at a fraction of the cost. While it may not have the same longevity or depth as the original, it's praised for its close resemblance, especially in the initial and middle stages.

Performance

As with most La Rive fragrances, the performance of Glow is generally moderate. It's an Eau de Parfum, but its longevity and projection are not as strong as a high-end designer fragrance. It can last for a few hours before needing to be reapplied. However, its low price point makes it an excellent option for those who want a daily-wear scent that smells very similar to the Chanel classic.
