Word on the street is that Fenty Beauty Fans should get their coins ready as Rihanna sets to launch her first fragrance. Fenty Eau de Parfum, $120, will be available August 10 on FentyBeauty.com.
Preview samples of the scent are available online now.
That’s the thing I love the most: it’s an experience, it’s a memory, encapsulated into a fragrance,” says Rihanna about the perfume. “One smell, you’ll never forget it.” She traveled to Grasse, France, where she worked with LVMH Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletru to create the sexy and warm scent.
The notes are magnolia, musk, tangerine, blueberry, Bulgarian rose absolute, geranium, and patchouli. Unlike so many other celebrity scents, Fenty’s fragrance doesn’t smell sticky-sweet or overtly floral. It’s a bold, elevated, sensual scent.
The fragrance is housed in an amber-brown glass bottle that was designed to fit perfectly in Rihanna’s palm. “I wanted a rich color that really represented all genders from across all walks of life. Brown is my favorite color.
Brown is who I am. Brown is what I come from. If I’m going to make a fragrance that represents me, even the body language of the bottle needs to marry that,” she says.
