Fenty Eau De Parfum, 75ml, by Rihanna

My 3/5 star rating reflects what both I and my wife think about this fragrance; it’s ok. Let’s start with be packaging. Very minimalistic, clean, I love the contrast between the bright blue box and the dark amber bottle/cap. Speaking of the cap, it is cheap plastic but snaps into place so you can lift the bottle using only the cap. The best thing about the presentation is definitely the atomizer; it’s a good one! On to the important parts; how this one smells. Initially you’re met with a mix of bright citrus and unmistakable rose. Both my wife and I thought that the opening transitioning into the mid was a bit confusing. My wife didn’t think it smelled very feminine while I wasn’t sure if it smelled “old lady-like” or more modern. To that end, I would definitely say ... MoreMy 3/5 star rating reflects what both I and my wife think about this fragrance; it’s ok. Let’s start with be packaging.

Both my wife and I thought that the opening transitioning into the mid was a bit confusing. My wife didn’t think it smelled very feminine while I wasn’t sure if it smelled “old lady-like” or more modern. To that end, I would definitely say this is feminine but definitely not for a younger demographic. Furthermore, the juxtaposition of the opening and mid notes onto each other seemed muddled and out of place. Into the dry-down the fragrance finally settled into something more consistent but it still didn’t blow me away. Plus, if you’re not a fan of patchouli you may not like this fragrance, as the note was prominent to our noses. Longevity is great, so one can expect all-day performance without having to overspray. My final con is definitely the price point. Given that this thing isn’t readily available at department stores or discounters I think that the retail price of $140 for the 75mL just isn’t worth it, in my opinion. I am sure there are those who will love this fragrance, but my wife and I are not numbered among them. For the Rihanna lovers, or anyone else who wants to support the brand, I would suggest getting a sample or testing before committing to a full bottle blind-buy.

A favourite of mine, with some complaints

Initially, I was very unsure about this fragrance mostly because it’s Rihanna behind the brand. However, as i’ve continued using this fragrance, certain notes have begun to appear that have made me fall in love with this product. This fragrance is made up entirely of middle notes to provide a unique experience for each wearer, on myself i’ve mostly picked up the rose notes which I do love, but have recently started to pick up blueberry as well and a slight hint of tangerine. Although this is described as a long-lasting scent, I would not consider it that, as it usually disappears on myself after a few hours. Because of other fragrances i’ve tried, i’m honestly grateful it lasts more than a few hours because i’ve had some that disappear almost immediately. I’m giving ... MoreInitially, I was very unsure about this fragrance mostly because it’s Rihanna behind the brand.

I’m giving this product five stars because I do honestly like the scent and use it regularly, i’m just a bit underwhelmed by the fragrances lasting power, the price, and also the packaging. The top component of the fragrance, or the “cover” on the dispenser because I don’t know the actual name, is a cheap plastic that literally falls off my bottle with any movement. It seems cheap for $185 CAD, i’ve probably wasted part of the bottle because I had it in my bag and never could find the cover. I also just want to leave a comment for the Rihanna fans/her Navy stans, it’s a bit underwhelming smelling this and I really expected more. I do LOVE this fragrance, but the first time I sprayed it, all I could smell was rose… so please keep this in mind when considering purchasing this fragrance.

Complex & interesting.

I received a complimentary bottle of Fenty Eu De Parfum in exchange for my honest review.Let me start off by saying I enjoy a large range of scents, many of which are not conventional or very popular. I had never smelled this scent before until unboxing it today. My first impression of this fragrance is warmth. It starts with mature spicy wood rose notes that remind me Christmas. The mid notes, in my opinion are very sweet burned sugar roasted marshmallows blueberry , and the dry down is kind of a floral powdery musk. At first I didn’t know what to make of all these scents together. They really do kind of take you on a scent journey. These are all scents I adore and the texture of this fragrance is unique and interesting.

At first I didn’t know what to make of all these scents together. They really do kind of take you on a scent journey. These are all scents I adore and the texture of this fragrance is unique and interesting. I think this is a more mature unisex scent, which I appreciate. I tend to lean towards very mature ( think affluent grandmas) and or masculine scents. This is a sexy scent and I could see how it’s a fragrance that smells different on everyone and with different temperatures and humidity. It subtly reminds me of Decadence by Marc Jacobs and a little reminiscent of Tim Fords Black Orchid but sweet. This scent has longevity and I didn’t feel like I needed to reapply for a good few hours which is not the case with more modern fragrances. The bottle is pretty and looks high end. I think this is a great scent to add to your collection if you lean towards loving more unique unisex/masculine scents ( I literally by men’s cologne for myself ), and or very classic mature scents. Its interesting. My husband immediately commented positively on it so that’s a plus.

Embodies a Warm, Deep Sensuality

I was graciously gifted this Fenty Eau De Parfum curtosey of Influenster and Sephora in exchange for my honest review. I believe this is the Fenty brands signiture fragrance and Rhianna certainly did not disappoint. This is a full bodied, sweet, musky scent that exudes sensuality and strength. The top notes are sweet, a Bulgarian Rose and scintillating Magnolia, met in the middle with a bright, spicy Tangerine, covered by a low, sensual Musk that makes the point of this perfume. It's an unforgettable scent. Nothing like I've ever smelt before. Immediately it makes you think of a vintage perfume, like Channel No.5 with its iconic floral-ness, but the more expirience had wearing this scent, you'll discover a hidden depth unlike any precursor.

Immediately it makes you think of a vintage perfume, like Channel No.5 with its iconic floral-ness, but the more expirience had wearing this scent, you'll discover a hidden depth unlike any precursor. The tangerine has a bright impactful allure, but the musk elevates the entire scent from something sweet and common, to something heady and tumultuous. This fragrance demands to be seen. This is the scent for Grand Entrances, Revenge Dresses, and Standing Out at the Office. This particular bottle is 2.5 oz or 75 ml and costs roughly $140 exclusively at Sephora, or Fenty's website. It's a heavy, opaque brown colored glass and a pressed resin top with the Fenty emblem imprinted on the crown. Its not made with cheap hard wear and gives a sleek, iconic look compatible with most eau de parfum collections. When sprayed, a little goes a very long way. I have recieved a plethora of compliments since I started using this perfume, and it makes me feel so seen amongst the crowd. I highly recommend this for people seeking a non-basic signature scent. I once again would like to extend my thanks to both Sephora and Influenster for the oppurtuinity to test this fragrance and I am deeply excited to add this to my collection!

Fenty Eau de Parfum - An Unforgettable Scent

Before I sprayed this debut fragrance on my wrists, I wasn’t sure what to expect. My experiences with celebrity perfumes have been hit or miss. Mostly miss. As soon as it hit my skin, I realized this one was special.Upon hitting my skin I was delightfully perplexed by the mingling of zesty tangerine, and creamy yet rich magnolia, with the base of earthy patchouli. The unique blend of bright and warm notes drew me in. I always spray perfume right before I step out the door. Over the next few minutes, it slowly evolves.As I reach my front door, I take notice to how well it’s settled. I think the coconut’s beachy aroma grounds the lush Bulgarian rose beautifully. A hint of blueberry adds the perfect fruity touch to add another layer to the complexity and depth of ... MoreBefore I sprayed this debut fragrance on my wrists, I wasn’t sure what to expect.

A hint of blueberry adds the perfect fruity touch to add another layer to the complexity and depth of this incredible perfume. Sophisticated geranium balances the blueberry yet it’s not typically floral at all. I’d describe it as captivating, slightly spicy, and bold.Once I make it outside and to my car, I take note of the dry down and I feel this is where it really comes to life. I first notice creamy vanilla blending with ambery musk, and deepened by rose. The patchouli is super minimal, yet it feels like a hint of light incense. Its richness reminds me of the warmth and sensuality of skin.What really excited me was when I smelled it on a man who I asked to try it. It truly presents different on everybody! It adapts to each person’s unique body chemistry, almost like magic. On me it’s more florally luscious and delightful. On him it was deeper and the earthy tones really came out. I love the way the bootle looks too, with sleek curves wrapped in glowing amber. Understated yet subtly luxurious. Fenty has blown me away with its first fragrance! A testament to the complexity of people and our multi faceted personalities.I think this was a daring scent, refined beautifully. I have never had more compliments on a fragrance in my life! I was stopped by men, older women, younger girls, and asked what I was wearing. I carried my bottle around with me in my purse this past month to refresh at lunch and after work and I pulled it out at least 7 times to show the people who stopped me, what I was wearing. I wanted to get the full experience of this fragrance before I wrote my review and I’m glad I waited because this last week 3 people stopped me in public and told me how great I smelled and asked for the name of rheumatologist perfume I was wearing! All 7 people who stopped me this month were quick to try a couple sprays on themselves and take a photo of the bottle. I am very grateful for the opportunity to try this fragrance and to share it with those who I came in contact with this month. I’ve already bought a bottle for my best friend who is now in love with it, and I’m gifting one to my mother and another to my grandmother for easter. Fenty’s perfume has become one of my most worn perfumes!

High Hopes Left Me Disappointed

For full disclosure, I received this fragrance complimentary in exchange for my honest review.I’m a fragrance girlie. I’m generally able to appreciate an endless variety of scents. I was extremely excited to try this Fenty perfume, as I love their makeup line. Also, reading the description, my hopes were high and I was under the impression that I would be fond of the scent.I was wrong. Upon initial spritz, I didn’t know what to think. The fragrance that I was expecting, was not scent I was inhaling. It was like ‘Oh’ the floral, spicy warm musk that I was expecting to love, was something entirely different. It kind of reminds me of very mature scent, taking me back to when I was a child playing with my grandma’s perfumes. That’s the only thing I can really relate ... MoreFor full disclosure, I received this fragrance complimentary in exchange for my honest review.I’m a fragrance girlie.

It kind of reminds me of very mature scent, taking me back to when I was a child playing with my grandma’s perfumes. That’s the only thing I can really relate the scent to.Despite my initial bad first impression, I continually tested this daily to see if it’s a grower. Admittedly, the scent does grow on you with frequent use. While it grows, my fondness isn’t what I would define as going out of my way to wear this daily, or even during a special occasion. This is a rare time in which I’m questioning whether or not to keep it, or give it away to someone who will hopefully appreciate it.The scent is strong at first and lingers for hours. I found that as time went on during my day to day activities, the traces of it quickly minimized. This isn’t a fragrance that lasts throughout the entirety of your day. However, I will say that if you dare to touch yourself up with a spritz - it layers well.This is not a fragrance for everyone. This is one that you either like or to put it bluntly, don’t. I’m surprised that I don’t like this - I can tolerate it, but if I didn’t have to test it out thoroughly to review, I wouldn’t have used this past the initial spritz test.If you’re a Fenty fan or even a Rihanna fan, and are interested in trying this out - which was me; due to the familiarity of the brand and the fragrance description, I would have bought this on my own dime, thinking that I would love it. I truly advise you to go into Sephora and test this out in person. While Sephora does have a generous return policy, I want to save you the possible disappointment you’ll receive after paying for it, and questioning if you want to go through the process of returning it.I’m rating this a 3/5, because while my experience was less than ideal, I can see some people enjoying this scent (just please try in store before you buy!)

Just really strong

I was so very excited to receive this Fenty perfume! I am a women's perfume and beauty product fanatic, and I had not yet ever tried this one.First off, the box is appealing, and the bottle the perfume is in is very pretty. Unique and different being this brown color, you don't usually see for perfumes. But I like it and find it classy and elegant. It's a nice sized bottle as well.Now, the scent of this perfume is not something that I enjoy or would wear. I much prefer a subtle, light to medium, feminine and sweet fragrance. This Fenty perfume is super loud. It is so strong, deep, with heavy florals, and a distinct "notice me" vibe. I could imagine this perfume being a favorite of a very boisterous, energetic, wealthy, probably often in the public eye, with strong ... MoreI was so very excited to receive this Fenty perfume!

I could imagine this perfume being a favorite of a very boisterous, energetic, wealthy, probably often in the public eye, with strong independence, bossy or authoritative demeanor. A woman that walks with a bit too much confidence and radiates superiority.And there are plenty of women that actually may want to appear as these things, or similar. We are all different and unique in our own ways.So I think I would recommend this product if you like loud and strong fragrances. So maybe you don't have to wonder if you smell good or if others can smell or appreciate your fragrance....? But if you are more like me and prefer a lighter scent, pass this one up.

Perfect blend which stays whole day

As an avid fragrance enthusiast, I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Fenty Mangolia Musk Tangerine and Bulgarian Rose fragrance, and it certainly left a lasting impression.The scent opens with a vibrant burst of tangerine, instantly uplifting the senses with its zesty and invigorating aroma. This citrusy introduction is beautifully complemented by the delicate sweetness of Bulgarian rose, adding a layer of elegance and sophistication to the composition.What truly sets this fragrance apart is its unique blend of mangolia musk, which provides a warm and sensual base that lingers on the skin throughout the day.I felt it is slightly overpowering on initial projection.

Unique floral, warm, mature scent with great packaging

I was sent the Fenty Eau de Parfum from Fenty Beauty and Influenster in exchange for my honest review. The packaging of the perfume is gorgeous, from the bright blue box to the amber colored, high-quality glass bottle with the subtle Fenty logo. The perfume sprayed out in a nice fine mist, not too abrasively or too wide of a spray. The key notes are magnolia, musk, and Bulgarian rose with tangerine, vanilla, blueberry, and hints of coconut, geranium, and patchouli. I definitely smell more of the floral and musk notes, less of the fruity notes, which isn’t personally my favorite but could be a go-to for those who like floral perfumes. It’s a more mature, sophisticated perfume, so it may not be for a younger crowd.

I thought the perfume was overpowering at first but it subsided quickly - I didn’t think it had a ton of staying power, but I had sprayed it on before work, and after a full day my mom said she could still smell it was able to notice it was a different perfume than usual. The 2.5 oz bottle is $140, so it will last a long time, but I would recommend testing it in person before purchasing for that price since it’s a unique scent that will smell different on everyone.
