NUDE by RIHANNA! Wow! Feminine, enchanting and gorgeous. It inspires confidence. With notes of woods and skin, it conveys intimacy and that feeling of bare skin. It’s a very feminine and romantic fruity-floral aroma. Rihanna launched Nude, her third fragrance (after Reb’l Fleur and Rebelle). It opens with fresh fruits such as guava, orange and pear; the heart is orange blossom, sambac jasmine and gardenia, a real treat! The dry down is sandalwood, vanilla orchid and musk. It belongs to the Floral Fruity family, launched in 2012 and works well day or night in spring and summer, it’s very versatile. It lasts 6 hours on my skin with a moderate sillage. It’s intriguing and seductive, I put a drop on my husband’s pillowcase and he loved it. Another blind buy that was a success and it’s staying in my collection!!

A pleasant fragrance but a bit underwhelming for me, especially the sandalwood, which is ironically a key note alongside the musk and orange blossom. It’s soft, nothing intrusive, floral with a sweet and fruity spark. To repeat, it smells good… but it didn’t excite me. The bottle is very ordinary. Of the three Rihanna scents with similar packaging (Reb’l Fleur, Rebelle, Nude and 777 Nude), my favourite remains Reb’l Fleur. With such a bold image, this ‘nude’ fragrance feels very innocent and soft, as if all the makeup has been removed. I think it’s ideal from spring to autumn, for day or for sleeping 🙂

I bought it blind (as I tend to do lately) and wow, what a lovely surprise. Nude is a charming perfume, one of those that doesn’t bother anyone, a rich little sweetness; you apply it and it seems more expensive than it is. The blend of white flowers, the vanilla and the mandarin citrus has me hooked. My nose is pressed against my wrist because I really loved it. I can’t yet comment on its longevity or trail as I’ve only worn it for an hour, but given its price perhaps I shouldn’t have to wait long. I love its simplicity, presence, delicacy and sensuality. I’m sure I’d buy it again 💕

BoUGHT blind and what a lovely surprise. Nude is a beautiful perfume, one of those that doesn’t bother anyone, a rich sweetness that feels more expensive than it is. The blend of white flowers, vanilla and mandarin has me hooked. I can’t stop running my nose along my wrist because I simply adore it. I haven’t worked out its longevity yet as I only applied it an hour ago, but given the price, I shouldn’t have to wait long. I love its simplicity, presence and delicacy. I’ll definitely be buying it again 💕

It has a fruity touch and is slightly sweet. It’s soft, they showed it to me a few days ago and I liked it very much. Now I’m hoping to save up to buy it because here it’s not as ‘affordable’ as in other places. It smells softer than Reb’l Fleur. I’ve only detected the pear, the orchid with vanilla, the gardenia and the musk. Of the Rihanna perfumes I’ve tried, this is the one I’ve liked the most. As they rightly say, it’s ‘floral-fruity’.
Jannelsa
On my skin, it comes out fruity, like all those fruits together with none standing out. Then it changes slightly, keeping the sweetness while introducing flowers, but it remains sweet the whole time. Gentlemen compliment it on me often. After three to four hours, it sticks to the skin; it lasts about eight hours (I apply quite a bit) and projects for two to three hours. It lasts longer on clothes.

I bought it and as soon as I got home, I tried to imagine what it smelled like based on its notes, and it was nothing like what I expected; it’s much more than that, it’s an impressive scent in my opinion. It has scents that, as the title says, ‘nude’ you when you wear it, because you expose yourself to others and that scent is like the timidity and simple situation of nudity
Estrella Turquesa
A fairly common scent; I’ve heard it in several perfumes, similar to Diesel’s LoveDose or Katy Perry’s Killer Queen. It has a fresh, fruity opening but immediately becomes quite sweet. If you like caramel or gourmand scents, it’s ideal. If you think sweet aromas make you feel sick quickly and are looking for something more wearable, beware, as it is quite sweet.

I gifted it to my mum for Mother’s Day and the scent is very sexy yet demure, it’s like a mix of angel and devil heh heh, but truly it’s very original, a scent nothing common and above all a delight. After gifting it to my mum I said I should have given it to my girlfriend hehehe, but I still have a chance. There are others heh heh. 100% recommended 😀
Chechu
I took the opportunity to buy this fragrance as it was on offer along with Le Beau Fleur, but this one received more positive reviews. The truth is it’s very rich and pleasant, with a tiny sweet touch that isn’t too heavy. It’s ideal for everyday wear and its longevity is no more than four hours. That said, it stays quite impregnated on clothes.

LeidyBed
Soft, coquettish and seductive. It can be worn in the mornings or for intimate encounters without necessarily being a date, as it doesn’t have great projection. The notes are well combined, everything in its place. I recommend it for use at home and in the mornings; it’s an insipid fragrance easy to be outshone by others.
pathypooh
Very rich fragrance. You can definitely detect the pear, guava and vanilla orchid. It’s not particularly elegant but it’s ideal for everyday wear. To me, it’s more of a spring and autumn scent than a summer one. I was very surprised, to be honest. Overall, celebrity perfumes are of good quality and this is no exception
Sindy Contreras
I just bought it and it’s rich, jovial and fresh; I’d say casual, perfect for girls aged 20 to 30. It’s perfect for leaving a lovely impression with a unique scent; it’s not as popular as other brands, which is great if you want to be remembered by a fragrance. It’s a lovely little detail anyone would appreciate.
IsaNhk
A rich, sweet scent without being cloying. For the price, it’s not bad. It’s a very common smell with nothing to highlight. Interestingly, the top, heart, and base notes are identical; the opening smell is the same throughout the fragrance’s duration. I don’t love it, but I don’t dislike it either.
Monsedoll85
Love at first sniff; I adored it. It’s exactly what I expected: sweet without being invasive, super feminine, and smells expensive and sophisticated. Definitely one of my favourites, a resounding success by Rihanna. I recommend it; it’s ideal for any time of day, a spot-on fragrance.
Doménica
Bought it blind to see how it was (I’m used to doing that). It’s a fragrance that immediately felt familiar to me and then I realised it reminds me a lot of Addicted by Cy Zone. Who else thinks so? It’s rich regardless but yes, it does remind me of that perfume
Perfumistica
It’s a lovely scent, I perceive it as floral and a bit pear-like. But for my taste it’s very soft, one of those fragrances almost imperceptible to others, which I only enjoy if I smell my own wrist.
Cote M.
Sweet and powdery, it’s soft and wearable but lacks personality. It doesn’t overpower me or bother me; it simply didn’t surprise me when I smelled it. I think it’s a good option for gifting.
Ann3
Definitely a unique and special scent, between sweet and floral, nothing strong or cloying. I like the packaging colour a lot. Very feminine and can be worn both night and day,

aleeromanm
Smells similar to Reb’l but isn’t the same; the scent isn’t as rich or sweet, it’s more floral with a citrus twist. In the end, I still prefer Reb’l, which is the best♡
Gisselle27
A fairly pleasant and versatile little perfume. It can be used on any occasion. The sillage and longevity are moderate. It’s worth it, but nothing extraordinary.
Armendariz078
I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but this perfume smells like Gudu pop ice lollies. I love it!!
Sara Yong
Sweet, fruity, with moderate sillage and longevity… but I didn’t love it.
AlejandraBriana
Very nice smell, I use it mostly at night

Pleasant fragrance!
