Comparison to Other Perfumes

La Rive "for Woman" is widely considered a "dupe" for Lacoste Pour Femme. The two fragrances share a similar composition, particularly the blend of soft white florals, a subtle touch of fruit, and a clean, woody-musky base.

Many reviewers on fragrance forums note the strong resemblance, with "for Woman" capturing the gentle and elegant spirit of the Lacoste perfume. While some might find it a little more watered down or linear than the original, it's praised for being a very close match for a fraction of the price.

Performance

As is common with La Rive fragrances, the performance is generally moderate. The longevity and projection are decent for the price, but it may not last as long as a high-end designer fragrance. It is a good choice for everyday wear, especially in an office setting or for casual occasions, as it's not overpowering.
