01 may 2022

Rihanna has been a lifelong fan of fragrances, and that admiration has sparked a fragrance line born out of her love of scents.

The beauty icon created a signature scent for Fenty Beauty, her makeup line. However, she has also made other perfumes under her name.

Rihanna is well known for her many perfumes and for smelling divine. She often wears them on the red carpet, but do you know what perfume Rihanna wears the most?

This post will list the perfumes that Rihanna wears most often. They are interchangeable according to the season and maybe according to her mood.

The goddess of Hollywood is recently pregnant, which may also change her taste. However, this article will tell you her top picks. 

What Fragrances Does Rihanna Love?

Kilian Paris Love, Don't Be Shy:

Love is felt in the air with a warm hug with this floral-scented fragrance.

Perfume Company Kilian has been the long-time purveyor of niche fragrances for the fashion-forward, and Kilian Paris Love, Don't Be Shy is one of their lasting creations and comes in a beautiful designer bottle.

Love, Don't Be Shy by Kilian

This sweet fragrance is a delicate bouquet anchored in violet and iris; the heart blooms with chamomile and ylang-ylang, and the base is light cedar and a subtle touch of musk. Probably one of our favorite Kilian fragrances.

The smell is light and airy, a fresh alternative to the heavier perfumes, so many of us wear. However, longevity is not challenged, and you can rely on a few splashes for long hours (Kilian perfumes are known to be some of the best long lasting fragrances for ladies).

Just the whiff of Kilian Paris Love, Don't Be Shy fragrance, with its delicate bouquet of violet, chamomile, and iris, will transport you to a flowery meadow in the heart of France. A lingering floral trail of cedar and musk completes this airy, enchanting and seductive fragrance.   

Love, Don't Be Shy is a By Kilian perfume for women released in 2014. This feminine and floral fragrance blends orange blossom, jasmine, Bulgarian rose, lily of the valley, patchouli, and other sweet notes. Each perfume note transforms the user into a big meadow with fresh flowers and a hug from spring.

No wonder Rihanna – the queen of music, loves this perfume. We believe that she may feel a sense of serenity and femininity while wearing this perfume.

Feminine and elegant, the Love, Don't Be Shy EDT from Kilian Paris is a floral bouquet with notes of orange blossom, violet, lily, and jasmine.

As far as the perfume ingredients are concerned, they are pretty standard. However, they are prone to change but have not with time. Moreover, this blissful fragrance is water-based, making it suitable to wear over clothes and even skin.

The bottle of this refreshing perfume is decorated with a bright coating to make the perfume seem iridescent from the bottle. The bottle comes in various sizes, including one to refill.

The spill-proof and mess-proof way of refilling makes it even more convenient. Moreover, you can carry it anywhere you like in your tiniest bag.

The highlight of this perfume? Rihanna might love it but so can all the boys out there! The small being floral is associated with strong femininity. However, this perfume is gender neutral because of the masked musk scent base that comes with it.

Wear this perfume on warm summer nights to exude freshness from you. You are good to go feeling confident and radiant enticing those around you with a few splashes! If you do not have the budget to buy the original one, we have reviewed some great Love dont be shy clones.

Kilian Paris Love, Don't Be Shy-Extreme:

Let out your extreme self – embrace your presence with this extreme floral fragrance.

If you think that Kilian Paris Love, Don't Be Shy is extreme, you are in for a treat with the truly extreme rendition of this beautiful bliss of perfume, an amazing perfume for women.

Love Don't be shy Extreme by Kilian

The Kilian Paris Love, Don't be shy, makes no apologies, and is perfect for those who stand out and actively feel their presence. Perfect for our boss, babe Rihanna.

Even before we found out she uses this fragrance, we knew it was her kind. Something of the dominance yet sweetness of the scent just reminded us about her personality.

This perfume seems sweet a first. You may think it is sweet too. However, once it is out in the open – BAM – it brings a major bang to the nostrils of everyone around you.

The sweetness still does not go away. It is there somewhere under the boss babe smell that his perfume brings. Kilian Paris Love, Don't Be Shy-Extreme Eau de Toilette unveils a floral fragrance with a voluptuous heart.

The voluptuous notes embellish by a bouquet of blackcurrant, apple, magnolia, and orange blossom. Finally, the fragrance unfolds a sensuality of vanilla and sandalwood.

This sensual fragrance for women, made for soft and tender moments, is an invitation to a feminine boudoir. KILIAN expresses a tender, romantic and floral fragrance.

Its fruity and floral heart is accentuated by Kilian's signature note of Mimosa Absolute and peach nectar. The fruity-floral heart comes with woody, leathery and musky base notes to create a sparkling and sensual fragrance (see our pheromone perfumes articles as well).

Kilian presents its perfume in an elegant bottle. The frosted glass makes the bottle look more expensive than it is. The label, designed by Kilian Creative Director, Olivier Pescheux, features white and gold and the "signature" pattern he uses for most of his Kilian fragrances.

The bottle itself measures 3.4 ounces and is weighty. However, this gives you the advantage of not running out sooner than you thought. The frosted glass has intricate gold engravings on its sides.

This perfume does not come in different sizes. However, who wants a small version of this bottle. You can always use an atomizer.

Just a few fresh whiffs from this perfume can rock your entire night. Use it on your pulse points for a splash of scent whenever your pulse points direct it into the air. 

This Kilian perfume reeks of sophistication, adulthood, and femininity. While it is not gender-neutral, we would not mind men around us using something like this. In addition, it is on the pricier side. Guess good things do come at better prices but it is a true luxury perfume for the ladies.

Armani Beauty Sì Eau De Parfum:

Sì by Giorgio Armani is a luminous, fresh fragrance awaiting you!

Sì EDP is a fragrance of freshness and well-being. It illuminates sparkling notes of citrus scents. A Mediterranean garden has creamy vanilla, Tonka bean, and musk layers for a soft, warm radiance which makes it one of the best female perfume in the entire world in our opinion.

SÌ by Armani

A modern and feminine fragrance combines sultry notes of cassis nectar, chypre, and light musky wood. Si Eau de Parfum is an intense version of seduction perfume.

It is at once voluptuous, sensual, and magnetic. The chypre notes create a captivating and sensual atmosphere.

On the other hand, the light musky wood adds sophistication. Si Eau de Parfum is an everyday fragrance with sensuality and mystery (perfect to wear for a romantic date). Just like the beautiful yet mysterious Rihanna.

The fragrance is indicative of ripe pineapple and tangerines. The sweetness of the fruit contrasts with the sourness of a citrus cocktail. The perfume is smooth and fruity, making this fragrance scent perfect for the summer.

This Armani scent is light, fresh, and summery, perfect for everyday wear. The scent is refreshing, making it a great choice for a sunny summer day. It is almost as if you have taken a sip of the perfect cocktail in summer.

Now, your breath lingers with the sweet and citrusy flavors. The seduction increases around people when you get close to them. Nature's sexiest combination is your power and your attitude – the armor.

Ironically, the most you feel with this perfume is a woody scent. This comes with it being floral from the most delicate flowers in the world.

An aromatic character display comes to light when you spread this aroma around you. Whiff a few sprays on your pulse points and see people around you wanting more (if you look to drive your man crazy it is a good choice for sure).

This perfume seems to explain so much. The desire around Rihanna, the seduction she exudes, and her effortlessness sultry attitude.

The perfect handy bottle with baby pink juice and a nice top makes it easy to carry around. The perfume comes in several different sizes and ounces. Choose some to keep on your dresser while the other can take place in your home.

While this perfume is perfect for summers, it may not be the best for other weathers. Autumn may want you to be more closed, while spring looks for refreshment.

This is truly the perfect summer, campy vibe and should be used accordingly – just as Rihanna does! FYI, this fragrance is suitable even for young ladies.

Tom Ford Lost Cherry:

Turkish roses along with almonds playing peekaboo into giving you the perfect scent.

The TOM FORD Lost Cherry Eau de Parfum captures the sweetness of an exotic black cherry, the lusciousness of almonds, and the playfulness of Turkish rose and jasmine sambac.

Lost Cherry by Tom Ford

The exotic fragrance opens with a mischievous burst of black cherry, layered with notes of rose and jasmine sambac and edged with a playful touch of almond.

The TOM FORD Lost Cherry Eau de Parfum unveils a full-bodied fragrance that achieves fantasy-like levels of insatiability.

This fragrance for women (check the top rated Tom Ford perfumes for her) is a rich, sultry Eau de Parfum that seduces the senses with its sublime, luxurious aroma. A heady mix of lush, dark cherry, vanilla bean, and vanilla bean musk is enshrouded in rich, lavish, and indulgent aromas.

Once you whiff a few sprays of this perfume, you feel into the Tom Ford world. It is a world of its own where the original scent can be super masculine and feminine simultaneously. It is a world where you sit and smell the fragrances from different cultures in one perfume.

The dry almond scent makes this perfect for strong winters. However, the musk reminds you that summer is not far away and you will see better days.

The Lost cherry is a station for home when you wear it on your pulse points. When Rihanna wears it, she is the ultimate queen. When you wear it, you will smell the hope of being something close to her.

The bottle is a traditional style asymmetrical cover and a straight design. The bright sultry red brings life to the perfume even more. The bottle comes in many sizes, which suit your place of keeping the perfume (btw this one is of of the most sold perfume in the world).

Even though this perfume is on the expensive side, it lacks retention. With only four hours of retention, you may have to have a few whiffs repeatedly.

The exotic fragrance opens with a mischievous burst of black cherry, layered with notes of rose and jasmine sambac and edged with almond wood.

Launched in 2017 by Tom ford, it has a formula with ingredients like black cherry, almond, and Turkish rose and has the signature fragrance of Tom Ford at its core, presented in an elegant bottle.

Chicly seductive, bespoke, and hypnotizing, Lost Cherry is a Tom Ford fragrance created for a woman who lives life on her terms. Nevertheless, it is also for men who are not insecure about their masculinity. If the original is too expensive for you you can find some great Lost cherry clones as well.

Rihanna Loves a Blend of Fruity and Musky Perfumes!

Rihanna favorite perfume

Rihanna has some incredible scents to choose from, but she is currently obsessed with the fruity and musky scent that combines notes of tangerine, lychee, and peach with hints of musk.

The best example is the ones mentioned in this article. It is Rihanna's scent for date nights and special occasions, and it is easy to see why!

The musky, woody, strong scents in these perfumes define her strength as an individual woman in society. The musk reminds her that she saw hardships that only she could overcome with her inner scent with each stepping-stone.

However, the floral and fruity scents combine to make her the ultimate woman. A perfect combination of fruity and floral allows her to embrace her delicate and sophisticated femininity that deserves all the pampering in the world. 

It is almost as if she is a lady that knows how to change a tire. However, she knows that a gentleman should not let her!

Perhaps another reason why Rihanna loves this combination of perfumes is that they are quite long-lasting. All her favorites have an underlying woody solid fragrance that helps them last longer. On the other hand, the fruity smells define her persona. 

Rihanna's Favorite Perfume Choice

In conclusion, Rihanna's iconic fragrance could not be perfect for the hot and humid days she gets where she lives. However, they also complement the cold days when she wants to feel like she walks around with a warm hug.

Even her own newest scent, Fenty Beauty by Rihanna, is a vibrant combination of pineapple, passion fruit, and musk. The scent has a fruity scent with a hint of sweet musk, why Rihanna loves it. We recommend to have a look at our best Victoria Secret perfumes and some nice zara ones for both gender.
