What wearers say
“I have the original, and this. They are both great! I like this one for casual use. It gives you the feel without the price and you can save the more expensive one for more special nights! It’s such an expensive smelling fragrance for the price! It gives you a very similar experience but like most La rive fragrances, the longevity is lacking. You just have to keep a decant in your bag and you’re all good!!”
“I bought the 30ml bottle of Destinee because I read here that it is similar to Libre and was curious. What I like is that it's floral but not overly sweet, which makes it more interesting than the majority of La Rive scents I've tried so far. It does have something sour in the opening and this sourness is more prominent when sprayed on fabric. But overall it's a nice, fresh, interesting scent that smells very good, especially after the drydown, and the scent has a very decent longevity. And you can't beat the price.”
“tried the tester on paper and it smelled exquisite, not a huge fan of the original Libre, i prefer the libre intense or libre le parfum, but i tried this dupe anyway to see how close it was to the original. I don't think this is an exact dupe, it kinda reminded me of Prada paradoxe too, luckily i had the reflex to try it on skin before purchasing a full bottle and it smelled very sour, it was awful.”
