I feel like this year, I've really become accustomed to trying new fragrances and have branched out from my what some may call, a stuck in a rut perfume collection. Whilst trying a fair few new fragrances, celebrity ones have popped up a few times and although I have always been quick to say I'm not too much of a celebrity fragrance girl, I think over the past couple of years they have really upped their game and in terms of scent, are on par with so many premium fragrances that I have tried.
My latest celebrity fragrance to make it's way into my collection is Nude by Rihanna, the third fragrance from the, in my opinion, very fabulous multi-platinum artist. Following her two best selling past fragrances, Rihanna wanted to create something a little more subtle and something that created a little more of a stripped down essence.
With top notes containing Guava Nectar, Mandarin and Pear with a centre of Orange Blossom, Gardenia Petals and Velvet Jasmine Sambac the base follows with a richer tone, with notes of Sandalwood, Second skin Musk and Vanilla Orchid.
If I'm completely honest, it's not my favourite scent for the moment but it is very pleasant and I think it is certainly a fragrance that can be worn both day and night. Being quite subtle, I think it's possibly aimed towards a younger audience, but then I think most celebrity fragrances are.
Inspired by a stiletto heel, Rihanna wanted to create a bottle that suited her daring nature, with a feminine edge so chose to keep the packaging pretty simple with more edgy finishing touches like the twisted matte ribbon layer effect. The shape of the bottle makes it more of a dressing table bottle, but if you wanted to top up throughout the day, you could always pop some into a Travalo Atomiser, which is what I tend to do with most of my fragrances.
The Nude by Rihanna fragrance collection is available to buy now in Boots and The Perfume Shop as well as other leading retailers costing £37.50 Nude by Rihanna 100ml Eau de Parfum Spray/ £30 Nude by Rihanna 50ml Eau de Parfum Spray/ £20 Nude by Rihanna 30ml Eau de Parfum Spray.
What do you think of celebrity fragrances? Does Nude by Rihanna sound like it would fit into your perfume collection?
I'm not a huge fan of Rihanna, but I think the packaging of this product is beautiful. Might have to pop down to Boots and give it a sniff. I remember having a Britney perfume back in the day that I loved, so I've really got nothing against a good celeb perfume! xx

Is it just me or does Rihanna look amazingly beautiful on this packaging ?
ReplyDeleteNot sure if it's something I'd be rushing out to buy but I'd definately test it if I seen it!

Nude colored wedding dress or prom dress has gradually becomes the fashion. A bit different from transparent ivory, it seems naturally luxury.If you agree, why not have a look at http://www.bestpromdress2014.com/court-train-pongee-natural-waist-laceup-sweetheart-ball-gown-satin-wedding-dress-p-6515.html
