by La Rive
La Rive Tender is a fruity, floral-woody fragrance that closely evokes the original CK Euphoria, though it stands on its own with a slightly powdery, fresh character. The opening features bright green notes and pomegranate, which initially feel sharp and overwhelming, but quickly soften into a smooth, velvety base of musk, patchouli, mahogany, and amber. Over time, the orchid and lotus middle notes emerge alongside a subtle powdery finish. The scent performs well in moderate longevity—lasts 4 to 5 hours on skin and significantly longer on clothing—and projects a strong, noticeable sillage, especially during daytime wear. Its affordability is consistently praised, with users noting it delivers more sophistication than expected for under $10. While it’s not a perfect match for Euphoria—especially in terms of depth and darkness—it’s regarded as a rich, well-constructed alternative that shines on colder days and appeals to those who prefer lighter, fresher versions of the Euphoria aesthetic.
