I am just going to second what has already been said… Beauty is practically “In Woman Intense”. It is the same scent, same notes, just a bit more luxe. I am wearing one on each arm right now and they smell very, very close. Longevity and sillage is similar, I actually get several hours out of both of these (fragrance eating skin). Sprayed before work 6hrs ago and still had enough skin scent left to be noticeable, score! Resprayed to compare top notes, heart and base again and, as I felt earlier today, so so similar.I do feel Beauty is slightly “more” so what someone else said about using In Woman for warmer months and Beauty for colder makes sense.
In Woman’s bottle is tall and skinny (easier to hold and store), Beauty’s bottle is a hefty, heavy glass square that takes up some tray real estate.
Both are pretty fragrances and excellent dupes for Si. Price point is great (and the same, either can be had for around $15). I am going to put Beauty away until fall and keep enjoying In Woman for now!
ETA: I luckily get none of the smoke/ashtray in the dry down. Even as a former smoker, that would be a dealbreaker for me.

Simply put….
La Rive Beauty….goes on a little “harsh-ish” which passes quickly….then you are left with Armani Si.
(maybe…a little “stronger” Armani Si…IMHO).
Great…for the price !!! I will recommend this one.

Definitely Armani Si. Which is kind of strange because La Rive already has In Woman which is also Armani Si. Beauty smells a bit deeper and richer than In Wkman.

Not a Dhalia Divin EDT dupe, certainly. In its league Dhalia is unique, very light and creamy. Yes they share the black currant, rose and jasmine but La Rive’s Beauty has strong amber, patchouli & vanilla which truly make it turn almost smoky on my skin. Beauty opens up deep sweet & intense almost like Si indeed, its a very nice blend of bergamot, litchi and mandarin, theres a slight sourness in this from the mandarin but much deeper than Dhalia overall. The drydown is very smoky like i said, I smell my skin and it smells like Im a smoker like ive touched a cigarette; this can turn me off a bit but it makes it mature and heavier. I love it indeed and the sillage is loud, longevity amazing. I try not to wear it on the days ill stop by the gym as it is heavy, but it is professional/work friendly and sophisticated, for the 30+ youthful crowd. Also doesnt smell like a 15 bux perfume, for real.
Edit: how it compares to IN by La rive. They’re identical. Upon application you can detect slight differences. IN is fresher (black currant leaf) and lighter,less sweet, no smokiness, no sourness. Beauty is more fruity and sour, richer and with better lasting power. Id say IN is better for warmer weather, Beauty for winter.
