Look of Woman Violet

La Rive

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

La Rive Look of Woman Violet opens with blackcurrant and pepper and settles into a floral heart of jasmine and rose; it is a women's perfume that has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes means this impression is not definitive. Positioned as a women's fragrance, it reads as light enough for everyday wear. The opening pairs the fruity tartness of blackcurrant with the spicy bite of pepper. In the heart, jasmine and rose bring out the floral side, and the base of musk and vanilla leaves it powdery and sweet. The overall feel is fresh, floral and fruity, with a synthetic edge.

La Rive

Fresh · Floral · Green

La Rive LЯ Sense is a fresh, floral women's fragrance with green and fruity touches that keep it light and easy. It has been discontinued. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. It is positioned as a feminine scent, and voters rate it above average. It opens with pear and ambrette, which give a fruity freshness. In the heart, ylang-ylang and rose build the floral core, and musk in the base softens everything onto a lightly sweet footing. The green and sweet accords keep that floral body balanced.

La Rive

Fresh · Aquatic · Fruity

La Rive Grey Line opens with plum, grapefruit and bergamot and sweetens towards vanilla and woods, a fragrance made for men. The top notes of plum, grapefruit and bergamot give a fresh, fruity and slightly aquatic start. In the heart, pepper, cinnamon and juniper add a spicy edge, and the scent turns drier and a little smoky. The base of vanilla, cedarwood, sandalwood and musk settles the sweetness onto a woody foundation. Fougère and oriental accords carry the bright opening into a warm, gourmand finish. Tom Tailor Pure for Him and Lacoste Pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
