What wearers say
“I have used LVEB for years & this does smell like its way less complex sister. Its very light almost like a body mist & no lasting power. It was gone almost as soon as I sprayed it. One of the great things about LVEB is its lasting power & sillage. LVEB is deeper & much more complex. I think if you find LVEB to intense you could try this but I cant recommend it because of the performance. If you own & like LVEB this is never going to be a sub for you. I dont want to knock LA Rive they do make some scents worth having. I just dont think this one was well done.”
“If you dont like the patchuli of the original La vie est belle, this could work for you. Its a lot of less patchuli in this perfum.But it does not last at all. You need to reaply it at least every 3 hours or so. But for the price you almost cannot complain. It does not have a good projection either.”
“This is a great LVEB dupe. They smell alike, only this one is a little more powdery in my opinion. LVEB is heavier on the patchouli and black currant, this one is heavier on the praline and iris. But the differences are small. Like I said, a very good dupe! La Rive fragrances usually smell kinda cheap/synthetic to me but this one smells really good, I'm impressed!Longevity and sillage are moderate.”
