Wave Of Love

La Rive "Wave 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

"Wave of Love" is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance. Its scent is often described as fresh, clean, and elegant, with a subtle sweetness. The key notes are:

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

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

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

The overall aroma is a mix of fresh, dewy flowers and a clean, elegant, and slightly warm base.

Comparison to Other Perfumes

La Rive "Wave of Love" is widely considered a "dupe" for Gucci Bloom. Both fragrances share a similar DNA with a focus on a rich, white floral bouquet, particularly with prominent notes of jasmine and tuberose.

Many reviewers note that "Wave of Love" successfully captures the lush, clean, and sophisticated essence of Gucci Bloom 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 "Wave 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 everyday wear, especially in spring and summer, due to its fresh and floral character.
