Crush

Thank God i didnt listen to the bad/mediocre reviews on here. Bought both Kiss and Crush together judging by RiRi being the same dome shape bottle and Rihanna's are some of my fav perfumes so i knew i cant go wrong and given im a sucker for yellow and white florals. I LOVE RiRi and it was such a great quality (even tho its less sophisticated than these two). This is very unique to me, and 100% my taste, it feels so ME, feels like a soulmate, instantly went on my favs list. I wore it in the summer till Oct in hot weather and it makes me feel so sexy, its so vivid and flirty but grown up, the right amount of sweet&sour. I miss out on so much trying to describe it, you either fall for it or you dont, its like your love crush you cant tell whats so attractive but ure still head over heels lol. Its a fancy for me perfume, something i wear when im in good mood and also on a date. I also wear it casually when I wanna feel all dolled up. Longevity is amazing on me, I usually happened to be at the gym whenever I had it on for the day and it kept me such sweet company but even when gardening or doing chores I kept thinking how gorgeous it is. Its intense & cheerful, it projects amazingly on me, even its very drydown. Like most from Rihanna it works with my chemistry and blooms on my skin. The patchouli comes later on, its very subtle, and the citrusy vibe softens up. Everything is so well done in this perfume. Both Crush and Kiss are amazing and both very unique.

This is the most expensive smelling Rihanna's perfume. Not saying it's the best or the most unique, but it's lovely and has that designer vibe. I agree with the reviewers below that this resembles Chanel Gabrielle and it makes sense as both are citrusey ylang-ylang. However I prefer Crush as it works better on my skin. Upon dry down, Crush is a tad sweeter on me (florally sweet from the ylang-ylang not dessert/candy sweet), plus it lasts longer. It's not anything to write home about (neither is Gabrielle), but really pretty. If you like Gabrielle and don't care about the label, you'll find that Crush is just as good (dare I say it!) I do believe in this case the premium price for Gabrielle is mainly due to marketing and high production costs as Chanel has to operate and maintain their own perfume house. Doesn't necessarily mean the quality is that much better (ok maybe but not 10 times better as is the price). Overall Crush is a good quality fragrance, and doesn't smell 'celebrity' like most often do. If it is your taste, go for it! Highly recommend. I'll surely be getting down voted for this as a lot of fragranticans Do NOT like it at all when someone says a cheap perfume smells comparable to their beloved high- end designer perfume house, but I'll say it how it is!

I'm relatively new to nosing (over one hundred) fragrance samples as a hobby. But this was one of my first blind buys. I bought Crush based on a YouTube influencer who said it was well-blended and smelled expensive even though affordable celebrity fragrances are often stereotyped otherwise. I really like this perfume. Looking at the notes, it is hard for me to pick them out, which may be because they are well-blended as I mentioned. What really sticks out for me is a linear amber-floral accord, in that it's slightly sweet, slightly floral scent. I do not sense the base notes. I cannot imagine Crush would be offensive to sensitive noses, assuming no major overspraying. This fragrance has been nice for layering with other fragrances as well. I'm pleased with this affordable purchase. 🦋🧡🦋 January 2024 update: This early blind buy is still one of my favorites after a couple of years of collecting fragrances at this point, including some that are considered much fancier. I still agree with my scent observations above. Today I layered this with Matiere Premeire Neroli Oranger and I LOVE how I smell! Added a little bit of Mugler Alien Goddess!! Yes! Love it! 🦋🧡🦋

I do like and love this rihanna crush perfume it smells so beautiful and it's just sad that's it's been discontinued now all of rihanna's perfumes are discontinued i was in chemist warehouse couple of weeks ago and there were these young like teenage or young adult girls in chemist warehouse and they said to the chemist warehouse worker do you sell rihanna perfumes and she said sorry unfortunately her perfumes are discontinued now we don't sell her anymore and there really hard to find and I found some of my old crush bottles that wear put away and I'm wearing crush and smells so good and if I want to buy more of crush well I will have to buy more crush from ebay and pay the expensive price for crush 100ml but that's OK crush is worth it because it smells so beautiful and good and also it really last and has a good longevity i would buy it from ebay but I will cause crush by rihanna its a good celebrity perfume its her best one I don't care how much it cost but I would definitely rebuy crush again and now I can still get it but just though and from ebay

Crush is not a Viva la Juicy / VS Noir Tease copy cat. Rogue Love is. Crush is the sexier twin sister of Riri. There's enough Riri in it to let you know that this is a spin off but it brings some newness & that hint of Sex that we always get from Rihanna's fragrances but was missing from Riri. The dry down on first try is very soft but silage is there. The only thing I'm concerned about is longevity. It seems her new fragrances lack the staying power that Reb'L , Rebelle & Nude have. Over all, I love it. I can see myself wearing this often. It's safe to say Rihanna did it, again. If you've been a fan of her past scents, you'll like this too. It has her name written all over it. Oh & this was a blind buy, it was ordered on release day. That's how confident I was that I'd love it. I'm very pleased.
