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.

Pas nyium parfum ini langsung kebayang warna kuning, its bright and light. Dibuka dengan wangi jeruk-jerukan, mungkin lemon or orange. Lalu berangsur-angsur muncul bunga kenanga dan mawar, ada sedikit kesan manis tapi bukan vanilla mungkin red berries. Bunga kenanganya lumayan kenceng diparfum ini, wanginya mengingatkan sama rumah nenek saya krn dihalaman rumahnya byk tanaman kenanga. Tapi wangi kenanga disini fresh bukan tipe kenanga yg agak berat, mungkin karena ada citrusnya yg ngetone down kenanganya biar lebihh bright. Overall cakep banget, dibayangan saya cewek yg pake ini cewek awal 20 an yg baru keterima kerja, vibesnya bersemangat tapi tetap elegan dan cantikk.

Honestly my favourite perfume I’ve found so far!! It’s become a bit harder for me to find in stores bc they’ve stopped selling it where I normally buy it from, so I’ve tried looking for a new perfume to wear and this one never leaves my mind. I’m just addicted to the scent and I always get compliments wearing it. I can’t describe the smell exactly because it’s not a citrus like scent, but it gives expensive/ designer kind of smell. I’m glad it’s hard to find because that means not a lot of people will be wearing this perfume😏 it has a perfect summery / spring vibe to it

Crush has a very pleasant and friendly aroma. I love the combination of fruits and florals in this perfume. I especially like the dry down. I’ve been wearing it for over 8 hours now and I can still smell the alluring musk in this fragrance on my skin. It’s not a groundbreaking scent and for what I paid for it, I’m okay with that. It has great sillage and longevity. So it’s doing what it’s suppose to do. I think it would make a great everyday scent and better suited for the warmer months.

A definite 10/10 for me. My partner loves it on me too!! I love it so much! So smooth and sensual but also has bright nuances. The dry-down on my skin smells really similar to Dior - J'adore l'absolu. Both have Bergamot, Rose, Musk and Cedar so maybe that's why. I absolutely love this scent for work or a special occasion during spring or summer. For maximum longevity, I suggest over spraying and putting vaseline or an un-fragranced lotion on before you spray your skin🥰

Oh Crush!!! She is so very elegant. The Ylang-Ylang stands out. Be warned, it is very bright! I hate scents that are citrusy and peppery but this has decent enough balance. This is a beautiful scent for a young woman who is tired of the cheap sickeningly sweet body mists and wants to start experimenting with "classy" scents but don't want to empty their bank accounts or smell like their grandmother. Very bold yet humble and youthful!

This definitely does share a vibe with Hollister Wave. I'm surprised because the notes are different. While Wave is unique and unisex to me, this one is like the toned down and girlier take on the idea. It has the same salty, sunblock feeling without being quite as literal. Preferable to my senses. Anyone who likes that small category of fragrances should def try both though!

I LOVVVVEEE this fragrance!!!!!!! HAPPINESS IN A BOTTLE!!!! Softly, sweet happiness in a gorgeous glass (heavy too) bottle...Have it on my nightstand! Wear it alll day: work and then to bed after showering :) My second Rihanna fragrance...I'm loving my Rihanna perfumes (what I have so far)!!!! :)

OMG, this is sweet on me but I love it. I find it a bit addictive and I do enjoy it. I know there's no pineapple note listed but I smell pineapple. This is my only Rihanna perfume and it performs really well with good sillage and longevity and it's an absolute BARGAIN!

This is one of my top favorite perfumes. I love sweet, floral, feminine smell. Usually, they are either makes my head ache or too childish for me. This is mature yet not too much but still enough for other people to smell it from you and compliment you.

Orange crush! I get it! This is a very light orange and floral spring/summer scent. Very simple and easy to wear. Any age appropriate. My kids really enjoy the RiRi collection. Lasts for a few hours but need to reapply after 4 hrs. Very pleasant.

Bought it in Notino after the numerous recommendations on YouTube and I'm quite disappointed. The smell is nice, but it seems flat, kind of 2D, instead of 3D which you get with more expensive perfumes. I think I'm done with blind buys.

My second favorite Rihanna perfume after Reb'l Fleur. It smells like an elegant bouquet of flowers with some citrus notes. I love it and always need to be in my collection.

I love the way this smells, but I literally just sprayed it on my arm 10 minutes ago and it's gone. I'm going to have to bathe in it if I want it to last for a work day.

This fragrance it's amazing it's sweet but not too much , it's classy and sexy ! I love it one of the the Best Ever celebrity fragrance to me !

A stunning,yellow floral,citrusy yet slightly musky fragrance.Love all her awesome perfumes ❤❤❤

I love this scent. It last on me through out the day. I really smell the ylang-ylang

One of the most neutral scents I've ever smelled. Rihanna's entire fragrance line as a whole is so unimpressive so I didn't expect much from this. That being said, I did vote above with a "like" because fair is fair and the smell itself is pretty. It's just so...bland shall we say. It's...bland & polite is the best way I can put it. This is a perfume you would wear to a wedding if you are a guest. This is a perfume you would wear to a debutante luncheon or something of that sort. It's got very little personality. It's timid and polite. And very shy. So wear this perfume to an occasion where you DON'T want to make a statement. I smell some fruit. I smell a little base of musk. I smell a small quantity of woody notes. I smell a tiny bit of sweetness. And I smell citruses from the very top first and foremost. It all comes together to make a pretty, but faint and character lacking perfume. Kind of smells like the perfume version of a tea bag honestly. Longevity - 4 hours. Spraying your shirt will slightly increase longevity. Projection - 2 feet IF sprayed liberally. Even less if only sprayed a few times. I rarely leave negative reviews but I call it like I see it. And Rihanna's hit some seriously admirable milestones in her career...but her fragrance line...is just all over the place. She has a few wins. For example, I love the sweet, airy aroma of "Kiss." And "Rogue Love" is a beautiful sweet scent but even that is a blatant copy of Viva La Juicy with some Peach thrown on top. I love Rihanna but her fragrance line could use some serious help from the likes of other celebrities and their teams such as Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Aniston, etc. Her scents are just either total odd balls...or just not very nice smelling. Again, I did vote above with a like but it's not a strong like. A moderate, neutral, "meh"...sort of like. One other indication to buy this perfume would be if you're someone who LIKES weaker, more neutral scents or are just generally sensitive to stronger personality scents...this might be perfect for you then! Hope this was a help. I'd consider this a smell-before-you-buy scent for sure. Don't blind buy this. It most likely won't thrill you.

My husband bought me a small bottle of Crush today. We tested it together and he said it smells girly and sexy. It is very well made. It is sweet but not sickening, the berries are not overly sour, the bergamot isn't unbearingly citrusy. It smells expensiver than it really is and i love the clean, light powdery, citrusy smell it has before the dry down comes. At this stage, it smells like something a clean, proper old man would use. If there were a male cologne that smelled like this citrusy powder from Crush i would smell it in a gentleman without problems. At the very end, it turns into a fine musk. Crush is a quiet fragrance with some warmth to it (the ylang ylang) that makes it appropriate for summer, but it is not your typical summer perfume. You could actually wear it year round. I think it is appropriate for all ages. This is not a serious fragrance, so i only recommend it for casual situations. I think i smelled something like this from a designer brand some time ago, but i can't put my finger in what it was. To me, it smells like the love child of sweet like candy and minajesty. It is a fragrance that really changes from the opening until the dry down, so you have to give it some time when testing it. Overall, i think it is great value for the money.

I like this! My nose is not distinguishing the citrus fruits. Yet, this fragrance is very clean, slightly powdery, and floral. Crush is nice. Very appropriate for daily wear, in cooler weather. Appropriate for things like work, church, and running errands. In my opinion, it is not groundbreaking...but, an affordable blind-buy option for those who like a mature, clean scent.

Nice surprise! This starts out with a bright yellow floral burst on me and turns into a berry patchouli delight. The florals move to the background. Its fairly long lasting and very pleasant. I got a one ounce for less than $12 so its a good value and a nice change from my gourmands.

Crush is very summery to me. It's floral and citrusy at first and then the fruit and berries pick up from the citrus. It's light and sweet and perfect for hot summer days. It doesn't have the best longevity on me but since it wasn't expensive I'm okay with that, I just reapply.

Ok, so i bought by a blind buy 3 fragrances from Rihanna today. This is one of them. (Nude, crush, rebelle) And I have to say I really like this one. Very bergamot like. heavy citrus that stays and sweet ylan-ylang. when it calmes down i can smell cedar and pepper.

I'm a bit disappointed. On me it smells a bit like a very watered down version of Princess by Vera Wang. I love Princess it's sweet but with depth. I just find this a weak meh kind of fragrance. Loved the Reb'l line but haven't been too excited about the rest.

This is a nice everyday sweet non offensive perfume, it doesn’t stand out to me, but I can see layering this with other citrusy floral perfumes to add a little zing I’d give it a 7/10 not bad but it’s not unique or a “need”.

Good summer everyday scent. It's clean and fresh, a little sweet. Fairly mature and could do well in work environments. It doesn't project a whole lot. Nothing outstanding here but it's nice and it wasn't expensive.

I think this is lovely, particularly after the dry down, there are a lot of notes going on in there. It doesn't last long, but is a lovely day perfume at a great price. I'm a fan.

Quite nice for the price. It reminds me of a dark champagne - bronze bubbly. Sophisticated blend of woody and floral. I expect it's a crowd pleaser.

A nice fresh foral. Yes it's elegant., but there is something that smells like a dandelion note that makes it smell bad.

Very refreshing, yet elegant. Suitable for all ages I'd say. Average longevity.

this honestly doesn't smell that bad compared to when i first smelled it on my mom a couple years ago. the pink pepper and bergamot really energize me as they're so spicy and bright! the sweetness is there but drowned out by the powdery-ness. for some reason i get a hint of the smell of pennies also??? just like this sour-bittery metallic note amid the musky dry down. might just b me. sillage is honestly pretty damn good as when my mom wore it around she left quite the scent trail so i would recommend just a few light spritzes. longevity is about maybe 5-6 hours in hot hot weather. this stuff clings to fabric with a vise grip so look out.

Decently unique, fruity scent. It’s a bit more on the mature side, which is not really my thing. I used to wear it a lot last summer even though I can’t for the life of me figure out why, since it doesn’t really appeal to me. I guess that’s the case because I didn’t pay much attention to perfumes before and I would spray on whatever smelled okay. Now I actually wear perfumes that match my look and personality and that makes this fragrance a bit useless for me now. It is a good perfume if you like citrusy fruity scents though. 6/10

Crush. Perfumey Make up-y Easy I’m glad this isn’t a fru fru celeb scent. The other two in this line might just be, but it’s been a while since I’ve tried them all. Today I have one spray of crush on the back of my hand. I washed my hands after coming home, I can still smell this. It seems very easy to wear, it’s not this or that, just a nice perfume. It’s got that nice make up smell to it.

Dang it I sprayed one of these riri or this on my hand and can't think which one it was. I get a real juiciness to the opening, wracking my brain to picture the bottle, but I can't. It lasted well on my hand. It's the one that smells like clean juicey juice, so which ever it was

Crush skin test, 3 sprays to other elbow (riri on other one) Warmer, clean and a tad sharp, goes paler, but is warmfruit rose type combo thats around alot. This isnt syrupy i think it leans clean. I should not have sprayed flamin ari cloud ay same time.

Tried this today at Shoppers, to me it smells like an indistinct mix of something unpleasant. I did not detect citrus or florals. Really hard to explain, but really bad. Sorry Rih. I adore Reb'l Fleur and Kiss is also very nice and frosty. This one is a total miss. I strongly disagree that it smells anything like Gabrielle by Chanel, a masterpiece.

I expected much more with the RiRi collection, because previous Rihanna fragrances were outstanding. Crush smells like a straight up dandelion, and it isn't pleasant. If you like the waxy, bitter smell of weeds, then you will love Crush.

Kind of like the teen version of the Ariana Grande bottle I tried (yes, this was my weekend to check out celebrity perfumes again.) Couldn't get into this one; too sweet with nothing interesting to flesh it out.

I had my husband sniff my wrist and he asked me why I was having him smell bug spray...he was right...that's what it smells like.

I remember really not liking this. Too powdery. Too old lady. Smells like dried pears and flowers at the bingo hall sorry 2/10

On me this smells like the contents of a pencil sharpener; from the notes listed for this perfume I cannot work out why.

I don't understand how people dislike this and say it's typical. I've smelled so many fragrances and i have yet to smell anything like this. This fragrance performs very well on my skin and is very unique to me.I feel like Rihanna is one of those celebrities who actually puts time and effort into creating the scent for each of her fragrances instead of just going with whatever the perfume creator suggest and putting their name on it just to make more money. This fragrance last about a good 5 hours on my skin. I never knew exactly what bergamot smelt like but i can really smell it in this fragrance and it smells wonderful. I was very hesitant to buy this because i really dislike most citrus perfumes, especially ones that has a citrus note as a top note because i feel like some fragrance creators over do it with the citrus notes and it ruins the whole fragrance and also because of the reviews and it had TWO citrus notes that were voted as one of the top notes so i was definitely hesitant but the only reason why i bought it was because i had the 30ml of RiRi and Kiss and i thought it'd be cool if i went ahead and added Crush to the collection but i definitely was not committing to a 100ml without testing it first but luckily i came across a 30ml for $15 on eBay and i immediately bought it and I'm so glad i did because i love this and it's perfect for summer but that 30ml might not make it until next summer lol.

I was really excited to try this one when I heard that Rihanna was putting out another floral-oriental because I LOVE ROGUE. It is a great fragrance & highly impressive coming from a celebrity. Since my heart belongs to Orientals and floral orientals, I was pumped at the idea of Crush. Sadly, that's where the excitement ended. With the "idea" of it. After testing it I was really disappointed. It was more basic fruity floral than floriental. Way lower quality than Rogue that's for certain. And honestly, I tried Crush, RiRi, & Kiss that day and they all were very basic, boring, typical celebrity fragrances. I think she was just targeting a younger audience with this line and honestly if that's her intent she'll be successful. I could see these three selling very well amongst teenagers and young women. Perhaps, if we are really reaching and stretching it we could construe this as a soft introduction to oriental florals for young consumers beginning to step outside their typical fragrance catagory into orientals. lol Out of the three this was the only one I tested on my skin (RiRi and Kiss just on paper test strips) I really did give it a chance! I had hoped it might evolve on skin as many fragrances do, but nope. Infact, I only hated it more for its lack of potency and longevity. Oh well.

This smells really nice its light not as heavy as Her others. I cant say it is extremely citrusy its a smooth warm vanilla. It is fruity but slightly more citrusy than riri that was more like strawberry and vanilla this has the lime. The bottle lid looks a bit cheap in reality compared to the nice lid riri had. I really like this it has good projection and not too sweet. Even though people say age doesnt matter with perfume i think any age could wear this. It is quite sensual when it settles. I am wearing it tonight to work christmas dinner and i love it and feel very comfortable in it like a second skin but i also really like her nude perfume do i guess the tropical vanilla is what i prefer personally.I will use all of this like i did with riri. It does remind me slightly of princess hippie by vera wang has a similar style i love that one too. I agree with reviewer below when i spay this initially it smells like lovestruck or princess by vera wang if you like those you will like this they are not the same but similar.

This perfume smells better than I remember. I recently re bought a 100ml bottle from Fragrancenet, but I do still have the rollerball from when I first bought the gift set when this came out. I do still smell the citrus on first opening, but not as strong as I remember. I can really smell Ylang Ylang, rose, berries and musk with a slight pink pepper. I feel like I am also getting vanilla from this. This doesn't smell like Gabrielle by Chanel at all to me. To me Rihanna has some of the best celebrity perfumes, and I hope she releases another one. I miss the days of the early 2010's where you could go to Macy's and get all the new celebrity perfumes.

after 45 minutes, this settles into a lovely, light, soft and sultry musky rose. the problem is waiting for those 45 minutes to pass, because the top note i get is pencil shavings. literally that's all i can smell. just pencil shavings, with a sillage that fills the whole room. i'm bewildered. like yeah that is a woody note? i guess?? i can't say it's the woody note i was expecting. anyway i do love how this evolves on me but my god waiting those 45 minutes is insane. it turns out so sexy but first i have to spend 45 minutes with scent memory induced grade school flashbacks (profoundly unsexy). what do i do with this
