Crush by Rihanna: Perfume Review

There are few celebrities more popular than Barbadian bombshell - Rihanna who has dominated the music industry and sold over 54 million albums. Her unique style, sharp lyrics and sassy personality are just a few qualities that continue to mesmerize and she has recently released an intoxicating new fragrance fittingly called – Crush.

Like Rihanna, this bottle is chic, elegant and provocative. It features a large glass base that tapers off into a shiny gold cap with jewelry inspired pattern.

The inspiration for this perfume is strength, power, confidence, mystery and unapologetic balanced with a fun, feminine twist. The fragrance opens with a vibrant splash of bergamot, juicy mandarin and vivacious pink peppercorn followed by pink rose and spicy ylang drizzled in sweet red berries. The base is sultry and deep with notes of creamy musk, cedarwood and sexy patchouli.

This fragrance smells very familiar and reminds me of trendy aromas of the past with a fresh new twist only Rihanna can add! It isn’t too sugary or bold and the soft, youthful notes fade into a light, alluring scent that is ideal for everyday wear or an evening out with the girls. At first spritz it may seem a bit bold but as it blends with your body chemistry the ingredients mellow slightly and become positively enchanting!

The deep musky undertones help rein in the berry and floral notes, amping-up sensuality and playfulness which definitely dredge up flirty feelings of new love and excitement. The 100 ml bottle featured here retails for $69.00 exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart and beautyboutique.ca.
