Love The Way You Smell
This is my first review and I didn't think I was going to write this one on this fragrance.... :D. Oh well, here we go !
My opinion on Fenty Parfum: I think the fragrance is pretty good, would give it an 8/10. (There goes the tension again, doesn't it?)
For the fragrance, Fenty not only commissioned the well-known perfumer Jacques Kavalier-Belletrud, but also markets it under the LVMH umbrella, which I think is pretty impressive for a celebrity perfume.
The fragrance opens directly with its citrus notes and lots of flowers. The citrus notes give this fragrance a beautiful, and also long-lasting, freshness. There is also blueberry, which gives it a lovely fruity note that is not too dominant. From the heart note onwards, the fragrance remains floral and spicy and becomes beautifully creamy thanks to musk, vanilla and coconut, which works very well. As indicated, it opens floral. However, I can't really smell any individual notes, if I can, it's more the rose. But it is not a pure rose fragrance. The fragrance has more of a general ''floweriness'', which I personally find very beautiful and elegant.
The fragrance develops only minimally. The freshness described at the beginning fades into the background after a few hours and Fenty becomes creamier (as described above). However, the DNA of the fragrance remains constant, which I appreciate, as the fragrance directly reveals its fresh, fruity, floral, creamy and spicy components. Sounds like a lot, and it is :D. I'm glad that it becomes a bit more grounded after a while.
The fragrance lasts a long time, at least 6-7 hours, often even longer. It's great for warm days, but it also holds its own on cooler days. Although it can be described as a fairly dense scent, I think it could develop its full potential in summer (except at 30 degrees +). In winter, it doesn't sink because of this. The blend of notes makes for a pleasant versatility.
I find the bottle beautiful, simple and stylish, even if the cap should not have been made of plastic, as it looks a little cheap. More important, however, is the spray head, which is fantastic for this type of fragrance. I haven't found anything comparable that doesn't come from the expensive niche. It produces a nice, fine mist with a lot of pressure and creates a pleasant cloud.
Although I am not a fan of Rihanna and don't wear makeup, I enjoy testing celebrity fragrances and appreciate the perfumer's work. I received this perfume blind for my birthday and was very pleased that I liked it.
The fragrance is advertised as unisex, which suits me. However, I wouldn't buy it blind, especially for men who are afraid of floral/sweet fragrances. It tends to be a bit feminine, but everyone should be able to wear what he/she likes, and sometimes it's surprising when a man wears such a fragrance ;).
I find the sillage solid. Got some compliments from my close environment, but I can't say anything about parties or the like, as I like to be a homebody :D.
All in all, I think the fragrance is pretty good and I like wearing it. :)
