A spot on dupe for Acqua di gioia, only better (because the price and its last so much longer)
werf13 – :
This is a FANTASTIC dupe of Acqua di Gioia, the only thing I’d say is this is a little fresher, more citrus and less of that brown sugar note.
Longevity and sillage are slightly above moderate, but dare I say that this might even preform better than AdG? I owned that one and this one at the same time, but traded it away because I didn’t see the point in owning both.
I’ll take $15 vs $60+ over a bottle for the same scent any day.
I’m not sure whether I have the EDP or EDT, I was sent a 30ml decant of this in the mail and fragrantica doesn’t have the two separate in the database, so not sure which one I have. Just thought I’d mention that, but I don’t think you can go wrong with either one, they’re both right around the same price point.
I’ve been very impressed by these La Rive dupes thus far. Off to try more.

La Rive Aqua Bella is the same scent, but smoother, richer, much longer lasting and projects much better than Armani Acqua di Gioia. One spray of Aqua Bella lasts on my skin for a minimum of 8 hours with moderate projection that softens closer to skin after 6 hours. A little goes a long way, so no need to over spray.
This is not a sugary gourmand lemonade scent. Cooling mint, soft spicy pink pepper and peony blend seamlessly with a touch of cedar to keep this perfume from becoming too sweet. Fresh airy lemon with a light touch of jasmine give this perfume a bright, uplifting cooling sensation. The lemon lasts all the way through the dry down. Labdanum is minimal ,hardly noticeable, just enough to lend super long life to this smooth, pretty, sweet, energizing fragrance.
If you wear it in an office, only one or two sprays is enough for the entire day ! No need to respray. This baby LASTS ! I’m so glad Ifound Aqua Bella ! It’s truly one of the very best summer scents ever made ! Very affordable, too !

I had on the left hand Armani Acqua di Gioia and on the right hand La rive Aqua Bella. Armani smells sweeter the first 15 minutes on the skin than Bella. Must be the ethylmaltol. Bella smells fresher and less sweet on the beginning. But in the drydown there ist no difference between the both perfumes!

A nicely done dupe for Acqua di Gioia. Fresh, perfect for hot weather and longlasting!

Very sweet and fresh scent. The perfume is sold by very low price so I was surprised by its high quality. It takes time to settle on the skin but when it does the sweet aromas of mint and lemon take over. The scent is light and delightful with mediocre longevity. Definitely loving it and would buy it again. I love the turquoise color of the fragrance. The whole fragrance reminds me of tropical beach resorts and the ocean. I’m very happy with the great relation of quality and quantity. I’m loving the large, beautiful bottle because I will be wearing this a lot! Huge recommendation!

Very nice, refreshing, green perfume, I can smell citrus fruits, a little bit mint.. I bought this a week ago, and I dont regret it, I paid only 5 euros, so I am glad I will have this cheap but very good scent :)))
Sergej83 – :
Smells just like Acqua di gio. So glad this one worked out since the other la rive fragrance was awful. Just fresh and sweet lemon mint and brown sugar. Perfect for summer!

I really don’t like to buy dupes, I just don’t like to spend money on them even if they are cheap. I don’t even know why I purchased this one but I really don’t regret it! It was 5 dollars, it smells exactly like the original aqua di gioia. I always get compliments when I wear this, people love this scent on me. On my skin it lasts 5-6hours, on clothes 24!

On my skin is a REALLY sweet scent, I don’t like sweet perfumes, is nice but unfortunatelly not for me, I only can smell brown sugar and a little bit of lemony, nothing more.

100% dupe love this perfume extremely long lasting.

On my skin this is an exquisite summer scent that lasts over 6 / 7 hours with moderate (up to 2 hours) to soft sillage. It pairs lemon and mint with delightful results, there are some floral and woody notes and it is sweet but not overly so. Refreshing, excellent for summer, good for offices and open air this is quite good and not too expensive. Very good !!!!
