Sweet Rose

La Rive "Sweet Rose" 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

"Sweet Rose" is a Floral Fruity fragrance. Its scent is often described as a soft, clean, and elegant blend of fruits and classic florals. The key notes are: 

Top Notes: A fresh and juicy opening with citruses and blackcurrant.

• Heart Notes: The middle notes are a floral blend of rose, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley.

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

The overall aroma is a mix of fresh fruit, delicate florals, and a clean, elegant, and slightly warm base.

Comparison to Other Perfumes

La Rive "Sweet Rose" is widely considered a "dupe" for Dolce & Gabbana's Dolce. Both fragrances share a very similar DNA, with a focus on fresh citrus, a floral heart with white flowers, and a clean, musky base.

Many reviewers note that "Sweet Rose" successfully captures the fresh, elegant, and timeless essence of Dolce 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 for those who love the original's scent profile.

Performance

As is typical for La Rive fragrances, the performance of "Sweet Rose" 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 everyday wear, especially in warm weather, due to its light and fresh character.
