The notes are simple, clean, and gentle – none of them overpowering the fragrance. But that’s exactly what I love about this scent: If you compare that list with the notes for most other perfumes I review, you’ll notice how uncomplicated it is. Finally, the base notes are made up of cedar and musk. In the middle, we have jasmine and apple tree. The top notes consist of lemon and hyacinth. La Rive, however, knows exactly what it’s doing. I actually really appreciate this, because most perfumes overcomplicate their composition in a way that doesn’t work or smells overpowering. Our next perfume is super simple, in terms of scent, notes, and bottle design.

La Rive by Donna Carina for Women Eau De Parfum If you’re looking for a light, youthful scent for the summer, it doesn’t get much better than this! 3. The bottle is also adorable and matches the green, summery vibes of this perfume perfectly. However, since it’s not a very pricey bottle, that might not be much of a problem. I’ve definitely had to reapply every few hours when I’ve used this perfume. One downside of this Light Blue knockoff is that the longevity isn’t the strongest. It’s very bright and natural, and perfect for younger perfume lovers. While this scent has musk, it’s definitely less powdery and musky than Light Blue.

Cedar, amber, and musk make up the base notes. In the middle, floral notes of peach blossom and jasmine add gentle femininity to the fragrance. The top notes are citrus-heavy, with bergamot, lemon, green apple, and tagetes.

A lot of the notes match, making this perfume smell like Light Blue while still maintaining its own individual twist with a fresh spicy and energetic kick.

However, this fragrance is definitely sweeter than Light Blue and also has another key difference of having no amber.īut that’s not necessarily a bad thing! In fact, one of my friends actually prefers this one because she dislikes amber scents. The major accords between the two fragrances are definitely very similar: citrus, musk, aromatic, and cedar. Rounding up the base, we have musk, woody notes, and cedar. The middle notes introduce more sweetness and floral aspects with sugar cane, cinnamon, bulrush, lily-of-the-valley, and tea rose. At the top, we have the perfect ingredients for a fruit salad: grapefruit, red currant, orange, and lemon. This particular one is a floral woody musk with bright, fruity notes – making it perfect for the summer. In addition to amazing shoes and bags, Moschino also makes great perfumes. Well, this isn’t our only big name on the list! I bet when you heard Light Blue dupes, you didn’t expect to see a famous brand like Moschino.
