Fenty Parfum is a highly anticipated unisex fragrance with notes that are earthy and sweet thanks to a mix of musk, patchouli, magnolia, tangerine, Bulgarian rose absolute, geranium and blueberry—and as Fenty Beauty describes, it's "where sensual and seductive unite." The sweet and spicy fragrance is bottled in a brown transparent design that plays with a blend of masculine and feminine elements, echoing the qualities of the perfume, along with other qualities like luxury and timeless design.
Although this isn't Rihanna’s first perfume, it is the first to fragrance under her beloved brand, Fenty Beauty. For this perfume, the brand worked with Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, the master perfumer for Louis Vuitton, to create a scent that doesn't need time to dry down or evolve.
