About This Perfume
La Rive Essence smells like Bright citrus fruit and jasmine on cedar. It opens with bergamot, fig and mandarin orange, moves into cardamom, jasmine and lily and settles on cedarwood, musk and olive tree. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days and the gym.
In the community's experience it fades within a few hours, and projects to about arm's length. Plan to reapply on a long day.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: citrus is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you want one spray to last all day.
Around $19.
