La Rive River Of Love

La Rive "River of Love" is a women's fragrance from the Polish brand La Rive. It's an Eau de Parfum that is a popular and very affordable alternative to a specific high-end designer perfume.

The Scent Profile

"River of Love" is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance with a fresh, elegant, and sophisticated character. Its key notes are:

• Top Notes: A bright, fresh opening with bergamot and lemon.

• Heart Notes: The middle notes are a classic floral blend of rose, jasmine, and iris.

• Base Notes: The dry down is a clean, musky, and soft combination of musk, sandalwood, and amber.

The overall scent is a mix of fresh citrus, delicate florals, and a warm, elegant, and slightly powdery base.

Comparison to Other Perfumes

"River of Love" is widely considered a "dupe" for Giorgio Armani's Armani Code for Women. Both fragrances share a similar DNA with a focus on fresh citrus, a floral heart, and a creamy, warm, and musky dry down.

Many reviewers note that "River of Love" successfully captures the sophisticated, elegant, and timeless essence of Armani Code at a tiny fraction of the cost. While it may not have the exact same complexity or long-lasting power as the designer version, its strong resemblance makes it an excellent value.

Performance

As is typical for La Rive fragrances, the performance of "River of Love" is generally moderate. It's an Eau de Parfum, but its longevity and projection are often cited as being decent for the price, though not at the level of a high-end designer fragrance. It can last for several hours on the skin and is a great choice for evening wear or special occasions due to its sophisticated character.
