by La Rive
Eternal Kiss by La Rive is a sweet, gourmand floral with honey and beeswax as dominant notes, enhanced by citrus, peach, orange blossom, and a soft caramel base. The scent evolves from a soft, airy white floral and citrus opening to a rich, warm honey-beeswax drydown, with mild licorice and patchouli adding depth. It is particularly admired for its performance relative to its price—many users report moderate to strong sillage and notable longevity, especially on winter skin, with some noting it remains on clothing well. The fragrance bears a strong resemblance to Jean-Paul Gaultier's Scandal, though it is not a duplicate but rather a distinct, earlier manifestation of a similar honey-centric theme. It is best suited to cooler months, particularly autumn and winter, with some users enjoying it on warmer days for its fresh, sweet citrus elevations. It appeals most to those who love gourmand or sweet floral profiles and appreciate floral-fruity accords that are not overly strong or overwhelming. Despite some variation in skin performance—particularly on sensitive or absorptive skin—the overall sentiment is positive, especially for budget-conscious wearers.
