About This Perfume
Think cool ocean breeze with bright citrus zest: that is La Rive Absolute Sport. It opens with aldehydes, marine notes and mandarin orange, moves into neroli, cedarwood and pepper and settles on white musk, amber and tonka bean. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. It suits casual days and the office. Released in 2023.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and aquatic for casual days.
- Sample first if: fresh is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike citrus fragrances.
Around $13.
