My first La Rive purchase and it didn’t disappoint—it’s an absolute beast for the price. Smells great, evolves beautifully, and lasts over 5 hours on my skin with moderate projection. The opening is brief and fresh due to the orange, followed by fruits (I didn’t notice the coconut) and vanilla, ending with a sweet note and a hint of chestnut. Perfect for spring and fall; it can be too sweet in the summer. If you love sweet, fruity scents, this is your thing. I’d buy it again, and I’m not sure if it’s a dupe for Olympea.

First La Rive purchase and it didn’t disappoint; it’s a quality-price gem. It develops beautifully and lasts over 5 hours on me with moderate projection. The opening is brief and fresh due to the orange, then the fruits (I don’t detect coconut) and vanilla emerge, leaving a sweet trail where you can sense the chestnuts. Ideal for spring or autumn; in summer it might be too sweet. If you like sweet and fruity scents, this is your perfume. I’d buy it again and can’t confirm if it’s a dupe for Olympea.

At first, it smelled like alcohol and scared me, seeming like a sigh, but after a minute it settled and I noticed floral and woody notes. Sometimes I detect coconut, but then it disappears and doesn’t return. The jasmine is there from start to finish; combined with the wood, it becomes warm on my skin. It’s winter and it’s perfect for the cold: floral, warm, and sweet for me. It lasts 5 hours (if your skin is hydrated, you drink water, and you apply it to your clothes). The trail is noticeable for the first 2 hours, then it stays close, only noticeable to me. The main jasmine smells great when dry, nothing synthetic. If you don’t like jasmine or florals, you might not like this. If you don’t like sweet scents, you might still like this because the sweetness is very soft and doesn’t bother anyone.
I love it; people will think I’m wearing Olympea by Paco Rabanne. It has good sillage and longevity. At this price, I’d choose this over Olympea; I own both and prefer this because Olympea overwhelms me.
It’s very similar to Paco Rabanne’s Olympea (I realized when I tested it) and performs well as an Eau de Parfum. It lacks a bit of the salty note from Paco’s version, though that marine touch is noticeable at the start. It’s vanilla-forward, less sweet and cloying. It’s well-balanced. What I appreciate most are the vanilla, hazelnut, and that sea water note that gives it closeness to Olympea. More than enough quality for the price; it’s excellent. If you love Olympea and its variants, you’ll definitely enjoy this.
Rich, fresh, and sweet at the same time, perfect for spring/summer. It has good sillage; it tries to resemble Olympea but is more subtle and I like it more. At this price, it’s very cheap here in Chile; you can’t ask for more. EDIT: Over time, in September 2021, it became more intense and I still like it more because it’s fruitier and less salty than Olympea (I ended up selling the Olympea). In terms of longevity and sillage, it’s perfect for a workday; it’s the perfume that flatters me the most. Recommended 8/10.
It comes out quite strong; I feel lots of fruit and vanilla. In my opinion, it’s one of the La Rive fragrances with the best longevity. Good fixative, little sillage like all of these, but you can’t ask for more for the price. It’s great for daily wear. Regarding the similarity to Olympéa (which I also own), I don’t detect the salty note that characterizes Olympéa. In Flames has some similarity, I’d say 40% or 50%, but in my opinion, In Flames alone isn’t a bad fragrance.
