Eternal Kiss

La Rive "Eternal Kiss" is a women's fragrance from the Polish brand La Rive. It's an Eau de Parfum known for being a very affordable alternative to a more expensive designer perfume.

The Scent Profile

"Eternal Kiss" is a Chypre Floral fragrance with a noticeable sweetness. Its key notes are:

• Top Notes: Blood orange, mandarin, and grapefruit. This provides a bright, zesty, and energetic opening.

• Heart Notes: Honey, gardenia, jasmine, orange blossom, and peach. This is the sweet and floral heart of the fragrance, with a rich, almost edible quality from the honey.

• Base Notes: Patchouli, beeswax, caramel, and licorice. These notes give the fragrance its warm, sweet, and slightly earthy dry down, with the beeswax and licorice adding a unique touch.

The overall scent is described as a sweet, warm, and sophisticated floral fragrance with a playful gourmand undertone.

Comparison to Other Perfumes

"Eternal Kiss" is widely considered a "dupe" for Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier. The two fragrances share a very similar structure, with a powerful blend of honey, white florals, and patchouli.

Many reviewers note that "Eternal Kiss" successfully captures the bold and sweet essence of Scandal. While it may not have the same depth or longevity as the designer version, it is praised for its impressive resemblance at a significantly lower price.

Performance

As with most La Rive fragrances, the performance of "Eternal Kiss" is generally moderate. Its longevity and projection are decent for the price, and it can last for several hours on the skin. It's often considered a great choice for evenings, special occasions, or simply for anyone who enjoys a sweet, warm, and attention-grabbing scent without a high price tag.
