She is Mine by La Rive

Bought it looking for something similar to ‘Mon Paris,’ and honestly, it delivered. I’ve tested it alongside the original and can’t tell the difference. It’s sweet with a mature touch that suits it well. Perfect for sunny days with a hint of coolness.

Smells great, very similar to YSL’s Mon Paris. I thought it would fade quickly, but it lasts quite a while, even longer on clothes.

Very similar to YSL’s Mon Paris, but also reminds me of Nina Ricci’s Extra Rouge. Sweet without being overwhelming, slightly floral with vanilla, lily, and violet. Everything is in balance; it’s neither fully gourmand nor fully floral. Exquisite.

The opening is brutally alcoholic, but as it settles, you get citrus with green notes and bergamot. I don’t detect blackcurrant, so it’s basically a short citrus burst lasting about 3 minutes while the rest fades into that alcohol. On the skin, raspberries and strawberries dominate in a creamy way, like a creamy raspberry and strawberry ice cream: fresh raspberry and sweet strawberry. The florals are light—a barely noticeable rose and a lily of the valley that adds freshness to the raspberry. Violet gives that powdery touch to the ice cream, and that sensation lingers until the end. It says it has patchouli and cashmere, but I can’t smell the cashmere at all, haha. Then comes that creamy vanilla ice cream vibe, with less strawberry/raspberry but still that musky tone. You’ll laugh, but it reminds me of FRUNA’s CREMINO ice cream candy, that Chilean candy brand—I’ll leave a photo. It lasts 4 to 5 hours on well-hydrated skin and much longer on clothes; I wore it to sleep in pajamas, and the next day, still wearing the same pajamas, that vanilla ice cream accord was still there.

Bought it fearing the strawberry note would be too synthetic. At first, it does feel a bit so, quite similar to children’s medicine. The fragrance overall is interesting; I recommend it exclusively for spring because it can become overwhelming in warmer climates. Ideal for a date.
