Sweet Women

La Rive "Sweet Woman" 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 Woman is a Floral Fruity fragrance. The scent is often described as a juicy, sweet, and clean blend of fruits and a soft, warm base. Its key notes are:

• Top Notes: A bright and fruity opening with peach, tangerine, black currant, and orange.

• Heart Notes: The middle notes are a floral blend of magnolia, osmanthus, strawberry, and rose.

• Base Notes: The dry down is a warm and gentle combination of vanilla, musk, and sandalwood.

The overall aroma is a mix of sweet peach and juicy fruits, a creamy floral heart, and a clean, warm, and musky dry down.

Comparison to Other Perfumes

La Rive Sweet Woman is widely considered a "dupe" for Hugo Boss's The Scent For Her. Both fragrances share a very similar DNA, with a focus on a sweet, juicy peach note and a creamy, warm, and musky base.

Many reviewers note that Sweet Woman successfully captures the elegant, sophisticated, and sweet essence of The Scent For Her 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 with most La Rive fragrances, the performance of Sweet Woman 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 during the spring and fall.
