Ria

There’s something beautifully effervescent about this one. Like ripe halved strawberries in champagne. I detect neither musk nor pachouli. It’s a sparkly mix of citrus and berries ending with a tart cherry for me. Maybe it will need to mature a bit more until I get the more earthy notes. But it’s usable straight out of the box. I think if used heavily, it may last around 4 hours at abt 28* C summer. I can’t detect it on myself beyond that. My friends, however, notice it on me in just the first couple of hours. It’s a lively fruity scent, perfection for a brunch-lunch on a summer day or for an afternoon shopping with your girls. Pleasant and attractive, but not memorable. You’ll have to remember to respray often though. The bottle and atomizer are great. It’s a joy to carry in a handbag, instead of the chunkier-clunkier ME bottles. If it’s affordable where you are, this is a great summer buy.

This is a good alternative if you don't want to pay the $100+ for burberry her. Any age could wear this like 16 years old or 40 years old doesn't matter. Long lasting and keeps the consistent smell. Very fruity bright yet has a depth that's hard to describe like slightly earthly and powdery. It has the vibes of insolence edt, prada paradoxe og and burberry her og together like magical vibes but also like not super unique or anything. Perfect for anytime and if you like a simple fruity floral with some extra personality it would make a great signature scent.

i blind bought this and was so nervous but despite all the bad reviews i reallly LOVE this. the patchouli is not overbearing which is what i was worried about but its done really well and i usually hate patchouli. the raspberry and grapefruit are the stars of the show with a clean musk in the background. this smells surprisingly expensive to my nose... sweet but sexy, the patchouli in this make it easy for a man to also use this for layering. imo this was a bling buy success for me!!! pleasantly surprised 😁

When I first got this it was so mid and I was so disappointed in it so I put it in my closet in a dark cool area and completely forgot about it. Two months later I remembered I had it, sprayed it on and wow! It’s such a beautiful Fruity, Sweet, candied like scent with a hint of citrus and patchouli on my skin. At first the Patchouli was so overpowering but it’s toned down a lot, you definitely gotta let this one sit for a few months unfortunately

I found this in store for only $8 and what an amazing blind buy. Citrus berry musk without vanilla, along the lines of Burberry Her. May be redundant, or worth adding to your collection depending on how much you like this scent profile. It's a nice option when you're not wanting vanilla. I noticed it for about 6 hours before it became more of a skin scent.

To me this is a clean unisex scent profile. Simple, no frills everyday fresh-out-the-shower fragrance, like a high end shampoo as someone said. Berry-citrus blast ends with a sweet, slightly woody musk. Sillage and endurance is fair, you cannot over-apply it tbh it's that inoffensive. Beautiful bottle, and that signature Khadlaj pressurised atomiser.

This reminds me of Eladaria by Creed but without rose - it has that sweet, aquatic yet musky vibe. It smells really beautiful and niche. Imagine Eladaria but with the rose floral note stripped out and replaced with a herbal essence shampoo note instead. This is a lovely balance of sweet fruits and musk.

This fragrance reminds me of something... Rouge Trafalgar is probably the closest to my nose but musk makes this feel a lot more dense than fresh. It’s feminine leading but I really like this bright, fruity-citrus fragrance. Khadlaj are fantastic. Unboxing: @blayke_ on TikTok/Instagram

Lovee this! This doesn’t smell just like Rouge Trafalgar, it’s more like a cross between RT and Gris Dior. I have both and now added this one for $20 from TJ Max! What a steal!

Clean, fresh, airy scent. Not too sweet. Just beautiful and it projects too. Beautiful. It’s an 8.5/10 for me

This is such a beautiful, feminine, sweet, fruity fragrance. It's perfect for spring and summer.

As someone who absolutely doesn’t like patchouli...I do like the Caress patchouli Bodywash though it last; bathroom smells lovely and sticks to the skin...so maybe I do...anywho. I absolutely love this fragrance. It’s Fruity; Musky and the patchouli adds a bit of sexiness. It opens with the Burberry HER DNA berries; bright but instead of vanilla or a Sweetness you get a patchouli dry down. It’s not scent twins at all maybe distant cousins but not the same. To me it’s a mix of SDJ 48 the Blackcurrant; Phlur Strawberry Letter the earthy patchouli-ness; BB Her Berry opening l; a thick sweetness and deep sexy dry down. I like it. It’s an easy wear.

Update: I had to declutter this. I tried to wear it again and it is just not my taste anymore. It's a great fragrance if your jam is extra juicy fruity fragrances- the cherry and strawberry are very present and have staying power. The musky patchouli base sets it apart from most other offerings in this category, IMO. Also unusual for this type of perfume is it's staying power- it lasts a very long time (8+ hours) on skin and fabric, even in hot weather.

Light, fresh, fruity. To my nose it is basically Rave Now but in a prettier bottle, much prettier. Easy and safe blind buy if you like fruity profiles. This definitely leans more feminine.

A gorgeous, feminine, easy-to-reach scent. Nice to have as a staple if you're not picky when it comes to sweet & fruity fragrances.

Love at first sniff 😍 Can’t wait to take this on my upcoming vacation! So beautiful

Clean and youthful. Very lovely fruity scent.

This is not very exciting. A little musky for my taste and none of the other notes are that distinguishable. Edit: came back to this after a few months and it’s a lot better. Still smells like hairspray on the whole but it doesn’t give me a headache anymore and projects better. If you like a sweet (!) fruity floral with heavy musk in the base and don’t mind waiting for it to settle this is a good buy, especially in the affordable price tier.

I had high expectations for Ria, but it left me disappointed. I let myself get swept up in the hype having heard glowing reviews from experts in Arabic perfumery but I simply don't understand the enthusiasm. To me, it smells like a body splash for teenagers: nothing inventive or novel just something fruity synthetic and, frankly, boring. That is all I got from Ria. My advice: do not blind-buy this; don't make the same mistake I did.

Ria is a sparkling berry fragrance with a woody and musky base. The opening does remind me of Burberry her but it doesn't having that cloying musky base. The musk in the base here is the airy kind. But I feel the musky-woody base is overshadowing berry notes. I wish juiciness from fruits lingered more.
