By the editors · 2 min readQueen of Life announces its intentions immediately: pear and black currant — the dual-fruit opener of countless millennial gourmand florals — sweeten the air before the floral heart arrives. Jasmine and orange blossom perform accessibly, tempered by iris's powdery effect, the kind of white-floral combination engineered for broad appeal rather than distinction.
The base takes the composition where its name pointed all along: praline, tonka, almond, and vanilla converge into a warm confectionary landing. La Rive makes no pretense of niche ambitions — this is a well-executed affordable take on the gourmand-floral type, well-balanced and impressively long-wearing for its price tier. The patchouli grounds the sweetness just enough to keep it from becoming saccharine.
