Rihanna launches Nude, the third fragrance that bears her name (the first was Reb'l Fleur, and Rebelle was the second). Nude by Rihanna is a sweet floral – fruity fragrance with a vanilla background. With its woody and skin musky notes, the fragrance transmits intimacy and a feeling of bare skin and nakedness.
Fruity aromas of guava, mandarin and pear are located at the opening of the composition. The heart is blended out of white flowers: gardenia petals, velvety Sambac jasmine and creamy orange blossom. The base consists of sandalwood, vanilla orchid and "second skin" musk.
Nude by Rihanna is available as 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
Nude was launched in 2012.

I don't own it, but I've tested it once.
Expected it to be powdery, because of the name. Oh, well, it wasn't. On me, it's very floral. I was also able to detect vanilla, but the white flowers were so in-your-face. As I am not a fan of jasmine, I don't like this scent.
I remember I couldn't get it off my wrist for a few hours, so, yes, I suppose it's quite long lasting.
I wore Reb'l Fleur for a long time when going out at night. Nude smells almost exactly the same to me, but with stronger vanilla notes and an overall tamer vibe, making it good for day time use. It's quite lovely, but Rogue is still my absolute favourite.
I really like this but for something called Nude its actually a rather strong scent. I get sandalwood, vanilla orchid and musk. There is nothing sweet to me about it, the vanilla just gives it a kind of creaminess. This lasts all day on me.
This is more a day scent and specialy for summer months. I think Rihana managed to create a celebrity perfume for an acceptable price. It s tropical and too powdery I think. But i like it
It is a good scent, but it's just a bit too powerful and strong, in my opinion..it must be the jasmine and gardenia maybe? it's possible this will give me a headache, so im a little scared to spray it on me again..but it's still a good scent! i don't think i would have bought it if it wasn't a blindbuy..i can't smell any of the drydown, on me it disappears after the middle notes.
A lighter version of flowerbomb!
Blind buy based on reviews:
I'd hoped that Nude could have been a nice and inoffensive skin scent for those days where I don't feel like wearing a highly noticeable scent.
Unfortunatly, I find this to be just another sweet, fruity celebrity scent - but atleast I got inoffensive, in the "no personality what so ever"-kinda way.
Furthermore the longevity and sillage is absolutely non-excisting. I spray it, I smell it for 10 minuts and then...... nope, nothing! I've tried to spray it on my skin, hair and clothes - same result.
I even tried to mix it with the body gel and lotion (bought a giftbox) but that didn't help much.
Looking at the bright side: it's rather cheap but I'm still stuck with a 100ml. bottle.
A complete waste of money... I'm very disapointed.
Edit: Okay, to be fair the scent actually did linger for 4-5 hours on my clothes.
This scent smells good but it is too synthetic chemical sweet for me. I don't know if it's the guava mixed with vanilla orchid and pear notes that is creating this nauseous sick, headache inducing reaction every time I smell it on my skin, but it's too synthetic sickeningly sweet for me to withstand. Her other fragrances, rebelle, reb'l fleur, rogue, rogue man, smell divine, I have those and they are among my favorite scents in the perfume world! Especially rebelle, yummy good and reb'l fleur, I just can't get enough of dosing myself with those. Maybe I have to give this one some time to get used to or spray lightly. It smells good when the wind blows it and you catch whiffs of it blowing in the wind, but if smelled up close nose to skin it makes me have a headache and almost nauseous.
I tried this, got a sample, it s ok for summer, it doesn t last that long. It suits you when you don t have that much clothes on you.
Soapy floral, good thing I only used one spray, more would give me a headache instantly.
Update: got a headache even though it's just one spray
This is pretty! It's fruitier than I typically prefer, but it's so yummy that I can't help but love it. Ripe, juicy fruit backed up by orchid, just a tad powdery. Sillage is pretty strong for the first half hour and then it dies down to a skin scent, so I wouldn't pick it for all-day wear, but it's great if you like to wear multiple scents in a day like I do.
Nude is a very pleasant, well blended floral fruity fragrance, in which the fruity notes are subtle and softened by white flowers and musk.
This smells like a soft, light brown toffee candy with pear filling!
Pear is my favourite fruit in fragrances, and together with white flowers and musk it smells heavenly!
Nude is sexy, and also very wearable, every day.
I love Nude. It has good longevity and when I wear it, people in the same room can smell it, even though I don't overspray.
Received a tiny sample of rihanna nude when I bought rebelle.unlike my expectations I liked it very much
It's completely different with two other similar shap bottles.nude is soft,feminine and very pleasant.in the opening I could mostly detect sweet fruit notes,guava and pear which strangely I liked!then very soft,satin like musky florals and creamy sandalwood show up and make it warm and smooth at the same time clean
I find a sexy vibe in most rihanna perfumes including nude but it's sexy in a soft,soothing,intimate way
I think it's better in mild weather.longevity is moderate(5hours)and sillage is soft to moderate.
Nude,rebelle and rouge are my favorite rihanna fragrances
I can't wait to add nude to my collection
Awful smell , awful bottle ! I absolutely agree with the other comments that this perfume smells just like Madonna naked version !i don't know what you guys likes in this fragrance it's so awful smell , when I spray it on myself smell like lemonade , or soda ! Yukk it's not like the other celebrity fragrance but also I absolutely not recommend .from all Rihanna perfumes I like rogue and rogue love. Both of them smell nice sexy and classy !
At Walgreens this morning I bought a set of 3 Rihanna perfumes that are .5oz sizes for 20.00 USD and by far this one is my favorite. Nude sweet and fresh and has amazing projection for the price. At first spray it smelled kinda nostalgic for some reason, it reminds me of a Juice Bar body mist I used to have as a small child and I believe it's the gummy bears one, only Nude smells more like a better quality fruity gummy bear, vanilla and floral kinda perfume. Glad I grabbed the 3 bottle set and discovered this one
My favorite for autumn is Nude, got two full size bottles and now I have body mist and I feel like I need it back in my life again as soon as the autumn chill weather comes up.
First of all it has cozy soft fluffy sandalwood. Second important moment - it has clean white flower musk that makes impression that you wear some expensive high end perfume.
But the most pleasant moments are when it smells kind of fruity and then turns to powder and woods and then again you feel ..strawberries? vanilla? It keeps you guessing all the time.
There's never too much of sweetness, that's what gourmand lovers say. But it's not bad thing to have that sweetness harmonious and composed. Because of that feature Rihanna's Nude smells more expensive than Black Opium, Flowerbomb or whatever sweet but big name.
The white florals and musk in this ties everything together so nicely. It's a soft/fresh scent that lasts up to 4 hours, i wish it was longer but still a scent that clears your palette from smelling the other two stronger scents from the rebel collection.
I love the bottles!!! (Rebelle , Reb'l Fleur and Nude) I think they're really wild! And, really easy to hold; and spray.. In fact, they're easier for me than lots of others. I think the shape is truly gorgeous - very unique and artistic. I love holding them!!!
And the perfume is great too. Terrific - fruity and florally. Just lovely.
Just got a sample of this. Grape soda, vanilla, and a touch of sweet orange. Pretty and light. A great summer scent.
This definitely opens on a grape soda sweetness and settles into Viva La Juicy Gold Couture with guava on top. I like it! It's summery without being too fruity.
It is nice but maybe a bit too musky on me. Overall a very sweet, floral smell but nothing special.
To me, Nude is a spicy orange blossom fragrance, similar to Armani Code for women. It is well worth its modest purchase price, and it is a safe blind buy.
My bottle has gone off, but only after 3 years, and I will buy another to replace it.
I rarely find a celebrity scent that is even slightly tolerable, but this one is my budget unicorn! Sexy, inoffensive and energetic. I always get compliments when I wear this $20 gem.
This is my first review on here. I got a small version of Nude when I made another purchase of Rihanna's fragrances. This is one of those scents that I didn't think I would enjoy at first, but the more I wore it, the better I liked it.
It reminds me of what my aunts smelled like when I was a child. She was that aunt that let's you do naughty things that your own parents would never approve of. Bright colored flowing clothes, scarves, bangles, and loud makeup--that was my aunt, and her perfume was always BOLD.
I turn to this fragrance now that's gone and it lets me for a moment remember that audacity and maybe grab a little of it for myself. It's indescribable as far as notes are concerned for me. It feels like there is vanilla in it but obviously there is not. It's sensual, it's fun, it's Prince songs in the car on a summer night with all the windows down.
Nude is pretty much the summer version of Flowerbomb by V&R. I love both but I stop wearing Flowerbomb at the end of spring because I don't think heavier notes wear well in hot/humid weather. I switch to Nude for the summer. Rihanna's Reb L Fleur is pretty much a summer version of Lancome's La Vie Est Belle. It's also much lighter and agreeable than L.V.Est Belle.
Nude smells like grape soda at first. For the first fifteen minutes on me it's just sweet grape soda. It's not guava to my nose, and I do eat those little yellow guavas from Mexico pretty often. Maybe it's a different guava from the Caribbean in this, one that smells like grape.
Nude takes me back to when I was about ten, walking to the 7-Eleven in the heat of summer to buy a Nehi and a banana Moon Pie. It has a wonderful cheap fruity candy convenience store vibe, with the smell of cola Slurpees in the background. I can almost feel my gritty bare feet and hear Deep Purple on the transistor radio behind the counter.
With memories like this so wound into my amygdala, I just can't find this sexy. But that doesn't mean I don't love it! Nude may be a better summer scent for me than all those coconut beachy ones I keep sampling.
Notes I can detect:
Sweet fake grape (my favorite fake flavor/scent)
What is it about dishabille and sandalwood? Whenever perfumers create a scent named for partly dressed ladies, they always include a lot of sandalwood. Just an observation, definitely not a complaint since I love sandalwood.
I mostly get warm vanilla and some pear from this. I love it though, it definitely smells like what someone could smell like naturally. It doesn't feel out of place nor is it offensive or too noticeable. It's not boring though. Longevity and sillage is slightly above average.
I have been wearing this in the heat of this crazy summer and this, this is where this scent plays the best! I love it :)
I got a little 1 oz. of this with so much confidence that I would love it that I threw away the bag/receipt. The notes/reviews sounded amazing, but I got a really bad headache from one spray and kept feeling like it was just too much of everything. Headache sensitive folks should sample first. I tried to get over it, but finally gave up.
I think that despite the name "nude" and the image of softness this portrays, it is actually heavy, strong, and I guess I just can't pull it off. Weirdly enough, I loooove Rogue, so it's not Rhianna perfumes in general. My mother in law was visiting and liked it a lot, so I gave it to a loving home!
Recently, I tested, for the first time, Rihanna's Rogue, Reb'l Fleur and Nude, and liked them all to start with, but by the end of the day I didn't like Rogue. I still liked very much the other two, so bought them both. Yesterday I wore the first one, Nude, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! From the first spray onwards! It is divine!! Every note in the pyramid described here, came through exactly as listed. The first gorgeous wafts of guava! mandarin! and pear! Delicious! Then, quietly, gently, after about half an hour the beautiful flowers joined the affair, and they all together made the most glorious smell!! Oh my goodness! Lovely! And it stayed that way for about another hour, when the lovely soft creamy melding sweetness of the base notes oozed in to envelope everyone else, and give me such a happy comforting feeling! Joyous! Beautiful!!! A really good quality perfume to my mind. And it lasted well into this morning, and the sillage is at least an arm's length. I didn't have to sniff my skin till well into the evening - it stayed as a beautiful soft cloud around me till then. A gloriously lovely experience! Oh, and I really like the bottle! It's easy for me to hold, and I think it's very arty!
Really soapy, sweet floral. Smells like Flowerbomb mixed with generic powdered laundry soap.
Nude by Rihanna is a powdery-sweet fruity-floral and one of the extremely rare occasions I actually like pear in a fragrance. I like the pear in this because I know that is what is coming through as powdery-sweet on me, but I do not detect the actual smell of the pear (which makes me happy) because guava is singing its tropical sweet-smelling heart out! Love the guava! In the dry down I can smell the vanilla orchid and a little mandarin/orange blossom. I only with the scent lasted longer!
Sex in a bottle y'all. This is what I imagine Rihanna smelling like.
Not like the other celebrity scents, it's really something else. It could absolutely be a designer frangrance. Try it!
Love this perfume, such a gorgeous scent. I am nearly through my second bottle and will definitely be repurchasing a third bottle.
After having the pleasure of experiencing Rebelle, I wanted to try this one as it was mentioned that they are similar. I remember TJ Maxx having one a few weeks ago so I checked. Nope, gone. Marshalls? Yes. OK. Bough it...The first initial spray I am not too crazy about but it doesn't last long. It's probably best described by me as a fruity/spicy/ginger scent. The guava I am guessing. Then it quickly goes to musk and sandalwood (on me). I do not get any vanilla, really. I will have to play with this one. It was not love at first sniff like Rebelle (I love Rebelle!!!) but since Marshalls will not let you return it if opened, I will have to keep it and it's not bad, but not a love either :) It is close to skin and musky, it's a safe scent and I will add more later after I have worn this full day etc. I do not really see the similarities to Rebelle as some have mentioned :/
EDIT TI ADD: Wore this today and man do I get almost all sandalwood and musk -_- Must be my chemistry...
5-21-16 Been wearing this more...it's growing on me but still not a fave like Rebelle
Add-------->This is a great summer scent (heat is good for this one) :D
I just scored a bottle of this for 6.99 at Marshalls. I absolutely love this scent, it is pretty much a lighter version of rebelle. I consider this a comfort scent but not as heavy or overpowering as most of my comfort gourmands are. If you want a gourmand scent for summer that is not too tutti frutti this is it.
I truly love this scent, I recently bought it and I keep catching myself grabbing for it!
The sweet guava, vanilla and powdery note really tugged on my heart strings!
I put it on last night and slept for a good 8 hours and got some chores done and I could smell it lightly when I got close to my arm.
I can not believe how many times I walked passed it at Marshalls and never thought of purchasing it!
I am excited to wear it next time I see my fiancé and see what he thinks!
He did really like it and wouldn't stop kissing my arm!!
Which is one of the places I applied it.
Totally recommend it!
Disregard the odd bottle and the fact that this is a celebrity fragrance. Then, do away with the notion that this is low quality because it is sold at Wal*mart. Nude is a beautiful, easy to wear scent that radiates fresh femininity. It's performance is good, with arm's length projection that lasts roughly 5 hours on skin. It's light, fruity, and tropical without resorting to cheap coconut/suntan lotion aromas to achieve it. (I find that very refreshing.) It reminds me of sunny days at the beach, the warm breeze rushing through the fruit trees and perfuming the air with sweet, salty goodness. It's fresh, fun, and free-spirited.
Fruity, tropical fragrances are usually marketed to teens and young adults, but Nude doesn't seem to have distinct age boundaries. It smells lovely and feels appropriate on people of all ages. This fragrance takes the light, fun-in-the-sun quality of being young and wraps it in a soft blanket of womanhood. It is truly ageless.
Nude is a hidden gem in the celebrity fragrance world. It isn't just a pretty face with a big name. There is quality and style beneath the exterior, which makes this a winner in my book. Well done, RiRi.
Scent: 9/10
Projection: 7/10
Longevity: 6/10
Sweet and tropical without coconut !love at first sniff! And..what is second skin musk...lol
Again, Rihanna has managed to create a low-in-price "celebrity perfume" that is really comparable to more expensive brands (was it not for the somewhat cheap looking bottle, I'd be fooled!)
I really like Nude. It reminds me a lot of Rihanna's Rebelle, but more floral and lighter - more of a summer time / daytime perfume. While it sits comfortably in the "floral-fruity" box, it is not overly sweet. I like the guava, which I smell nice and strongly, but it's not a "tropical" smelling perfume to me.
A good, solid "like" from me!
I think this scent is really pretty and light. I'm wearing it on a snowy day to brighten the day but can see it being amazing in the summer. I can really smell the guava in this. Yummy. It's tropical but powdery and didn't know how I'd like this combination, but I do like it. It actually is my least favorite of Rihanna's perfumes. This is probably because Rebelle and Reb'l Fleur are "loves," but this still falls under a "like." Who knows though? It could become a love, I just put this scent on about half of an hour ago. It does invoke purity, softness, nudity. I think the scent is accurately named. Has just enough powderiness to round it out and make it soft, although guava and pear scents are generally pretty soft.
Edit: 2 hours later, something in it seems to strengthen. It isn't necessarily sweet or powdery, actually a tad more sharp. I think it might be the gardenia and orange blossom. It could even be the orchid because I know that it is a difficult smell to replicate, because what I'm smelling doesn't necessarily smell like orchids to me. Not like it's a bad thing. I like how soft it is in the beginning and how that still persists, but actually deepens and evolves with time. Amazing that I got this perfume for 6 bucks for 1 oz on ebay. Smells much more expensive.
Edit again: 5 hours later, the smell is still very much persistent! I feel like I smell peaches, but it might be the pear and orangey notes. The muskiness is coming through as time goes on. So shocked that it has such decent longevity.
I smell oranges. I smell a light musky sweetness. I like it, it's a nice daytime fragrance. Nude is true to it's name--no syrup, it dries down to a delicate fruity powder.
9.99 at Marshalls, quite a bargain for a pretty fragrance that may resemble the celebrity scents, but does not smell cheap or plastic-y.
Better than most of the the sweet celebrity perfumes or the Viva la Juicys on the market, which can be one dimensional or watery. This has a strong kick of orange blossom with a hint of mint which makes it more substantial and complex.
Very feminine, soft, powdery and beautiful.
Don't ask me why, because I don't see anyone else saying so, but this reminds me of Rogue Love, also by Rihanna...
I love both though. They're soft, fruity, sweet fragrances. I think this one is ideal for the warmer Summer months. I only got a teeny 30ml bottle, but I wear it every now and again.
This is nothing like her other perfumes. I was expecting a lot more original considering I adore rebelle. It is flowery and fruity and simple. I get orange, orchard and vanilla. It is nice for those days I don't feel like wearing something complicated. Sticks close to me and lasts for quite a while too. I like it for now, but wouldn't buy again.
This was a blind buy for me. I'm usually not great at picking out notes but with this I got canned peaches, white flowers and musk. It's pleasant, inoffensive and a tad boring to be honest. It's definitely a skin scent so no one will notice that you are wearing it unless they get real close. I dunno, I like a mini cloud around me with my frags so I can enjoy them all day. I don't get that with Nude. I agree with one of the previous reviewers about the bottle. It's not ergonomic and is not particularly nice to look at either.
This is a really nice skin scent for a great price! I bought this after sniffing all of Kohl's perfumes and wanting something that stood out from the rest....this was it! Nude is a great everyday scent, really for winter or summer, and shouldn't be offensive to others. I am impressed by this perfume for the price. It lasts all day for me...
I love this scent! I have the body spray version but it still smells amazing and it was only $7!!! It's everything I like about a perfume; a soft, powdery floral with a hint of musk. It's a little sweet yet refreshing at the same time. It's perfect for everyday and can be worn year-round.
Smells like a lighter version of Prada's Candy. For those who enjoy extremely sweet scents, this may be a worthy addition to your list for both day/evening.
Honestly, this is Truth or Dare by Madonna's *SHALLOW* cousin. Do not color me impressed on fragrance.
However, as a reviewer on safe fragrances for migraine sufferers, I say spray with ease! It didn't trigger anything for Me but the feeling of "meh". Maybe your chemistry will have better luck.
My third and final test from a $20 set containing Reb'l Fleur, Rebelle, and Nude. Nude left me desiring so much more after discovering Reb'l Fleur's strong personality and finding a new favorite in Rebelle. Since I'm going to write negatively about Nude, I'll go ahead and add here that all of the bottles are a pain to use. They are attractive and suited well to the fragrances, but I'm always afraid they will slip out of my hand.
On me, Nude starts as a sharp powder and ends as a sharp powder. It's very synthetic, like the heavily fragranced powder packets one adds to a fresh vacuum bag. There might be a hint of fruit or florals beneath the powder but I have to bury my nose in my wrist to perceive it.
I will say that I've sniffed the bottle of Rihanna Nude body spray a time or two and suspect that it might contain the warm, sexy, tropical scent experience that others write of. My plan is to wait for warmer weather and see if Nude EDP will bloom on my skin then.
Ok this is an interesting scent...this is more then a nice smelling scent....it makes you think....it makes you wonder....i like it....its hard to explain really....it just a nice unique smell.
I bought this thinking I really liked it, only to wear it and find it annoying. I love sweet perfumes, but this just seems too syrupy. I don't get a "nude" vibe off this at all. No skin musk scent, no warmth, just sweet, candy syrup fruit scent. I'll probably end up returning it. I just don't like it, and I wish I could get it off me, but I sprayed it in my hair, and all over, and I don't feel like showering mid day. I haven't had any luck with Rihanna's perfumes. I have Reb'l Fleur, and I don't love that one either.
I'm tempted to try Rogue, due to the musk, but I the leather note scares me. If it actually smells of leather, I probably won't like it.
Creamy vanilla floral with refreshing fruits, especially the guava. Light and refreshing, a bit sweet, like a tropical drink. Sadly it doesn't last long maybe two hours.
Vanilla orchid and fruits. I like this. It's sweet but at the same time sweet and fresh
I really love this. Earlier this evening, after a long day, a headache and a bad attitude, I sprayed a much more expensive and glamorous perfume hoping to lift my mood. Sadly, it had the opposite effect, it made me nauseous and made my headache worse. My best remedy was to wash that expensive fume off and go back to my tried and true Nude! This is such a beautiful fragrance. It's light but not watery. I adore the vanilla orchid in it because it gives it a floral edge that plain vanilla just doesn't have. It's not a fluffy mushy vanilla, it has perimeters, edges, If that makes any sense. The fruits aren't discernible to me but that may just be my lack of education on it! They border on a tropical line but not coconutty or beachy which is good by me. Just a sophisticated blend. Then the sandal and musk give it grounding. I'm so grateful for this perfume. It's my go to for calming relaxation and when something too rich would give me a headache. It's soft but not boring. I do wear it for other occasions too, going out on a warm summer evening or out with girlfriends. It's a great bottle to have around for so many reasons. And it is my favorite of all of Rihanna's options. Love it!
I have this in the body spray version and it is absolutely delightful. A nicely blended, lightly fruity-floral with a vanilla musky drydown, the fragrance really does have a "Nude" feeling, in that it is a sultry-flirty skin scent. I really enjoy the "second skin musk" component, which truly lends a nuzzly, sexy vibe. I can see why another reviewer called this a tropical Coco Mademoiselle...there is something similar about it. All in all, this is a sexy yet comforting, delicious fragrance, and I can't stop smelling my arms when I wear it! I'll probably go ahead and get the edp next, although I am very impressed with the fragrance and longevity of the cheap body mist so far anyway! Love this one!
i bought this recently as my summer/fall scent. it smells very soft and feminine with a nice lightly fruit smell with some spiced notes to it and a hint of orchid. while i love the smell, my main problem with this scent is that it is far too soft for my taste i typically like scents that are a little brighter. also the sillage is very weak on my skin and while the scent lasts an hour+ i practically have to put my nose to my skin to smell it after a few minutes. i would describe it as a great scent for close contact.
Smells fruity and flowery, something that's isn't complicated or mind boggling. It's pleasant and fun with tropical scents. I don't smell a huge difference between this and Reb'l Fleur. I can't wait to try Rebelle. It almost smells like Truth or Dare by Madonna, I guess because of the gardenia. 7/10
I ran out of this perfume and got this in the body spray version and it has the longevity just like the perfume..very impressive for a body spray!
On me this is a vanilla orchid with hints of fruity guava & musk...I simply love it!
This is streets ahead of her other fragrances. A gorgeous nutty, fruity and floral vanilla. It has very good longevity on my male skin. I think it's wonderful!
This is a lovely, soft, comforting scent. Just a little too sweet in my opinion but I really like it!
Unfortunately the longevity of this one sucks! I can't smell it after an HOUR of wearing it :( Athough I still use it a lot with the body lotion (makes it stay longer on your skin).
To me, this is a very tropical Chanel Mademoiselle. It is elegant, soft, and very feminine. I will not compare it to Rihanna's other fragrances as it is better excecuted and very different from them. This doesn't try to be unique and it ends up being just that in the process. This rekindled my love affair with perfume after a long hiatus due to not finding anything I liked. I have received plenty of compliments on it and even without them, the perfume is perfect for everyday. It could have even been a signature. Yes, I went there. Despite it being calm it is quite distinctive and people will not stop asking me for it. The reason why it is not...It barely lasts 15-20 minutes on me. After that, it is completely gone. Not a trace left.
This is for me a tropical version of La Vie est Belle, but less sweet and more enjoyable. Is it really sensual and the name is perfect;it really gives you a naked skin feeling.The pear note is deliciously made! the perfume has personality but at the same time i think it can´t offend anyone. i think it is a secure blind buy or gift. It has a elegant summer vacations feeling to it. good for all ages, longevity is moderate and it sits close to the skin on me. I am actually surprised that i don´t smell it on more people, because this one is really nice and super affordable. better than a lot of designer fragrances out there.Rihanna did a good job with this one.It goes to my wish list.
Is this not the most perfect fruity floral ever? I have this in the body mist version and it was love at first sniff. I can't pick apart any specific notes in this though. It's a soft sweet scent that is kept from being too gourmand by fruits. Lasts for ages and I keep sniffing myself. Hope people don't think I'm weirder than I already am. The sillage is not great. But who cares? As long as you can smell yourself. Give this a try, you will like it, I'm sure.
sure. if so, I dont smell those Drops in here...only the orchid, but no vanilla, as the description said...but, again, untrained noses cannot distinguish between the sweetnes of Vanilla and vanilla ORCHID - for the most people its just the same kind of sweetnes. I just want to make folks more perceivable for those little nuances differencies - thats how you can steadily train your nose ;)
People can say they smell whatever, that is the idea of the reviews, if we can only repeat the list of notes then what is the idea of having a review about what we Perceive, that is what would be nonsense to me.
@nettoyant: I do get that vanilla Orchid smells similar BUT NOT the same as vanilla - but maybe only really good noses can distinguish both. I can.
again, people, there is NO VANILA in this, why are so many of you continuing talking about vanila sweetnes?? nonsense.
Loved the first two Rihanna perfumes, just not a fan of this one. It's very strong and does give me a headache. I do love the vanilla/sweet scent, but it's just too strong. I thought the perfume being strong would be a good thing since it would last long, but it doesn't stay for that long which is a shame. Love the bottle and the nude pink color theme, just wish the perfume scent would be better.
I love Rihannas Nude. It brings me back to my past when I wear this. Plus it's a very playful and sexy scent. I love that it's not overbearing either.
Nude is pretty, fruity, and the slight musk is nice, because without it, this scent would be kind of average. Definitely the lightest and most subtle of Rih's scent's to date. Perfect for those who don't do well with in-your-face fragrances (Rihanna's first two are definitely that, as far as projection goes). Nude lingers very close to the skin and won't overpower anyone with it's sweetness.
Easy to wear, inoffensive cheap smelling thing and quite yummy. Delicious milky vanilla like note. Very edible. The guava is nice and sugary. Nothing cloying about it though. Similar to victoria's secret type stuff- think love spell fragrance mist. Nice enough but the longevity is a bit crap. I get mostly guava tbh.
The older I get the more I am gravitating to softer, subtle, EASY, scents. This is a really great casual, everyday fragrance suitable for warmer days. It doesn't have anything complex or difficult going on, it just plain smells good and never becomes annoying.
Several reviewers have described Nude as gentle, yes, that is the perfect word!
i like it but i don't love it i want the others and i hope there better than tis one also the bottle is not easy in use
I bought an ounce of this blind, tried it and put it in my give away/sell box. I felt it was too sweet and fruity. But, I was compelled to try it again with a feeling that I judged it harshly too soon.
It is incredibly sweet but it's not terribly fruity. I do not get guava as strongly as the votes suggest. I get orchid (sugary vaguely floral vanilla) and mandarin to start. I enjoyed it so sprayed liberally under my tshirt for a good test. Then, on the dry down, pear (my new love), gardenia, good quality musk and a slightly spicy sandal. I sprayed it on at 8 pm last night, it's 9 am the next morning and my tshirt smells strongly of it still. So, it does last on clothing. The day after, I wore it again on the insides of my arms. It lasted all day, going on 8 hours now, just like all of her other scents. It's true, silage is very weak but that's by design. Unlike Rogue and Rebelle though, you can't use too much. Those other two are literally too strong for me and I love strong scents!
I went from dislike to love! I love when that happens. :) I hope whoever is in charge of her fragrances continues with the quality, strength and relative uniqueness.
Smells like white mints tic tac's candy.
Sweet vanilla and a hint of mint
I was debating to get this for a while. Cause when i did my sniff test, it just seems heavy for my taste. Especially summer is just around the corner. Then few weeks later, I saw this on sale, and im a cheapskate, and so i give it another go. I tried it on my skin instead of test-paper. At first spray smells the creamy vanilla orchid, a little bit woody, but minute later, the dry down its a pleasant surprise. It was fruity (i detect the guava) and just fresh clean scent. I wont wear it in the morning though. This more of a evening type of scents. And little spray goes a long ways for me. And longevity is about 3-4 hours on me.
The more I wear this perfume, the more I like it. First spray gives me vanilla and mint(?). There's something immediately fresh about the composition that makes it far from cloying. The sweetness isn't that of strawberries and plums (the more offensive sweet fruit to me), so it is gentle. The powdery and musky layer make it more adult than most of the other celebrity scents on the market today. Well done.
This is a sweet and lightly musky casual scent....light and inoffensive. Can be worn as a day scent. On first spray it is quite sweet and fruity with a floral undertone to it... kind of like overly ripe canalope or melon. As it dries down the sweetness remains but lighter and is no longer so fruity and the musky sandalwood finally comes out.. Longevity is decent (4-6 hrs) and the projection is very soft and sits very close to the skin. I have not smelled any of Rihanna's other perfumes to compare but this was a bit off to me. This is Ok, but wasn't what I was really looking for at the moment. Too fruity and musky on my skin. I will be gifting this to a friend.
did not like this at all. I usally like sweet or fruity but like to take a break from them once in a while. this was not the fragrance to go to. I loved Rebel lefluer but thi reminded me of the cheap generic old lady aerosal perfumes you get at walmart for $3. first spray is ok but after it settles and you can air it out its no-go.
I like this perfume. It smells sweet & fruity but not too sugary. It's very easy to wear as you don't have to think much. It opens with a soft sweet note that smells to me like ripe cantaloupe. But perhaps it's guava as it states. As the scent gets absorbed gradually into my skin in the next 3 hours, it transforms into sort of a clean scent as if I just stepped out of the shower. I guess it stays true to its name. I can't identify too much with the flowers in this. All I know is the sweet cantaloupe scent fades very gradually and nicely. The scent does not develop much, but it does last. I sprayed my arms, my neck, and my chest around 8:30pm, and went out clubbing for the night. I drank, danced, and sweated. I could still smell it on my skin at 1 am. I'd say its longevity is pretty good as a cheap celebrity perfume. I got compliments on it too. I really enjoyed wearing it. I might buy it again since it's so inexpensive.
7/10 is my score for it. :)
I really enjoy the opening notes of this perfume. Unfortunately it disappears on me about 15 minutes in. The entire fragrance just vanishes. I won't buy this again.
This is just a bland fragrance disappearing among all other goodies out there. I have a 15 ml bottle for swap if anyones interested.
I think this is the best one out of all her perfumes! I just bought it and i'm really enjoying it:)
Bought this one yesterday......smells like Britney spears radiance and the new dolce gabbana had a baby together....it smells really good.....I like it and will definately wear this. .....it has a tropical vibe and the florals smell really sweet like candy...smells good. Really soft. Inoffensive
I think the first burst of it smells really quite good, a tad bit different from some other sweet-florals (probably because of the guava, in my opinion; that's what really does it for me with Jennifer Lopez's Love & Glamour [And no, I am not comparing the two AT ALL]) but nothing that sets its self apart from the countless others out there... but that hardly lasts an hour and then the whole fragrance is pretty much nonexistence and the only whiff of a it left is just a basic, powdery, hint-of-floral scent.
And it's just way to close to skin, and I know that it's supposed to be like that because it's supposed to evoke the scent of being nude but I find that it does that so well, it's worth keeping your money and wearing no fragrance at all and being "nude"!
I do must say that I think the shower gel would be nice, but only the shower gel; to then layer it with another scent and it could probably bring out a really nice concoction.
The beginning is nice, but I just wish it stayed when the middle notes, the "heart", of it enters to do its part because those notes ate just to boring for me. If you are in fact tho looking for a nice, safe scent that will appeal to everybody, then this is defiantly one for you!
This is my favorite out of her perfumes. its soft, sweet and powdery but not over powering.
Brought a small bottle of this it is a lovely perfume and rather long lasting
I love the opening of this perfume, which is a beautiful combination of fresh pear, guava, and light vanilla. As the scent progresses the sweet vanilla orchid steals the show, while the soft sandalwood remains on the skin. The only downside to this perfume is the sillage and longevity. This is a skin scent, so its safe for daily use at work or school. It's not a fragrance that's likely to get noticed, but sometimes that's a good thing! I do wish this fragrance lasted longer, although I still enjoy it for what it is. Despite being a sweet fruity-floral, I still think this is quite mature and can be worn by anyone at anytime.
I think this is my favorite from her collection. Sweet and elegant. I'm a sweet scent lover, so this one is perfect for me.
Nude is the third perfume and Rihanna's transition from sweet sex bombs to sweet elegance. Nicely composed vanilla, matched with sandal and fruits, wears perfectly with warm sweaters.
This is fairly good cheap alternative to Dolce & Gabanna Pour Femme, i find them similar.
This is another nice and simple orchid scent, I find it enjoyable, but not very original.
I am quite sure that guys would love this sweet orchid bomb. Still, I am too picky to buy this one. But I must admit it's very good and alluring scent.
I would love a shower cream with this scent.
Vanilla and berries. Also very light. My skin eats perfume, and this one ends up evaporating completely on me extremely quickly. Like twenty minutes. I know others have stated they got much better sillage and longevity, though. So it might be just me. It's pleasant, but not groundbreaking or anything. Soft red flowers and berries, mixed with vanilla. Like french vanilla coffee mate. Just wish it lasted.
A Very Soft Vanilla Essence Yet ; Dats What I Smelt After My First Spritz Till It Dries n Settle Up! Anyway, This Is The Most Soft Scene In Her Line (Rihanna).
It starts really fresh - fruity but when it settles down it's very creamy, warm, with a deep vanilla flavor and some light flower notes too.
It lasted all day long on the skin and on the clothes as well, sillage is very intimate tho.
It's pleasant, but nothing really original.
It doesn't really stand out from other vanilla-ish fragrances.
Okay, so far this has been my absolute favorite fragrance.. This one is very unique. I feel like it's a year round perfume. When you first spray it, it has a spring time light candy scent, but the undertone is deep and woodsy and musky, but still with a nice floral candy sweetness. I don't really smell vanilla... I smell candy in this one... But not a young syrupy candy smell. This is a great fragrance!!!
Smells like expensive vanilla ice cream.
Very lovely
This is a pleasant, light vanilla perfume and would be a good inexpensive intro to vanilla. Jasminejoon's description is exactly what it smells like.
It smells like a light pound cake with vanilla icing.
this want is just simple but extremely beautiful frgrances
from rihanna lines i get this and try first time with this, i love love love itttttt, so oohh intimately just so make me wanna have a sex all the times i wear it, but i don't have anyone to do share for it, sorryy but this is true, is anyone agree with me out there, whahahaa i serious
so fresh soft light deep and passionately romantic when i use this one, so comfort and relaxing so close to me,
i recommend this obviously, try it,
rate scent 10/10 , bottle 9/10 , longvty 8/10 last 6-7 hours on me, sillage 7/10 need a closer bit to smell it but thats what the point of this, to feel more intimately u should come closer to sniff it, lovvee it
so curious with reb'fleur nd rebelle, must try soon
This was my summer perfume!
I were this everyday during my trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL.
The vanilla orchid gives the sweetness touch, and it meets the perfect combination of guava and pear. So fruity and "sunny". It's definitely tropical but with a glamorous touch. The bottle is gorgeous, a lot taller than my other perfume bottles.
The only thing that's bad about is the longevity. Doesn't last much... I have to wear the body lotion together so it can last all day.
My favorite Rihanna's perfume!
So, two years have passed since my last confession....eer, review of this fragrance. I appreciate it a lot more now that I have a deeper appreciation for soft whispers and scents that don't have bombastic scent clouds that broadcast to the world that you're wearing a fragrance. Nude is a sweet concoction and vanilla rides front and center. Yes, it's light but it stays close to my skin all day. Since my love for Sandalwood has grown sandalwood comes out a lot in this scent and pairs very well with the vanilla. I just can't get enough of this scent. While I think it is my least favorite Rihanna scent I still love the hell out of this fragrance. Rihanna is killing the celebrity fragrance game.
This is the best of all Rihanna's fragrances, I love this smell. It's so nice, musky and sweet all in one. It's the one scent that I love, so does my Mum AND my daughter hahaha. Well done Riri, very good scent.
I love this smell and I always receive compliment when I wear it. Although I would say it's a winter scent because it is sweet, but not as sweet as Rihanna Ribelle
I don't like it at all it smells cheap and it's very soft.I am a huge Rihanna fan and I am very disappointed.
Seems the skinscent is the whole idea here. The 'skinscent concept' has been somewhat achieved, since its sillage is minimal, low projection. Good longevity, lasts about six hours onskin.
Thus, no skin smells like this one. Too sweet to be a 'nude' scent. Sweet in a fruit-sugary way, Nude lacks the depth and heat of a truly skinscent-scent.
User (and a very close person, as in stuck-close) will get a fruity-white floral fragrance, with pear and guava smelling as sweet as ripe fruit can be.
All in all, one must say Nude is what happens when hard gourmand wearers get naked.
This is more powdery than I was expecting (blind buy) and way more mandarin as well...but it's a lovely wearable light 'fume. It reminds me a little of the muskiness of Tom Ford White Suede or the powderiness (sp?) of D&G Pour Femme, although I dislike that one and am enjoying Nude. I definitely smell the fruit (mandarin, mango, passionfruit) in the top notes, and lots of musk, a touch of wood and some vanilla in the dry down. The mandarin lasts for the duration. I bought a small spray vial (size of a rollerball) and think this will be great for my travel fragrance collection...I can see this as an all weather scent for day or evening (except maybe in the most dense humidity).
Nothing bad about this one. I tested this one in the store and it smelt nice on my skin. Sorry I can't describe really, it was awhile ago. It was very light and wouldn't offend anyone.
Just plain sexy. It lays down on the skin so that someone has to basically be kissing you to smell it. I wear it to bed and it feels very intimate and romantic.
This reminds of Roberto Cavalli, his first fragrance. Both of these are very nausiating to me. The fruit, orchid, and sandalwood doesn't appear to be a good combination for my nose. It's a mish-mash of scents that just don't go well together for me, like peanut butter, peaches, and ketchup. Yuck!
Sorry, folks! My nose just isn't buying this.
I love this. I use it, actually, as a base for other perfumes. I've put it under Obsession & SL Feminite du Bois to name two. It is sweet, and soft. Rihanna's scents all have one main "element" that runs through them that I have always liked... I don't know what that scent is. It may be just a nice plain ol' vanilla/sandalwood mix, I dunno. But if you blind folded me, I'd know it in a heartbeat. This is subtle. A tad tropical (in the tropical fruit sense, not the tropical flower sense). I used to go to the dept. store and spritz on 4-6 perfumes and always spritzed Nude on among them, then throughout the day, the one that I kept sticking my nose back in to was Nude. Finally bought it and wish it had a body spray companion. Its not expensive, and is a fun spring/summer perfume. It is described as having "woody and skin musky notes" I don't know about that. I think it would be great w/ more woody notes, actually.. possibly that is why I layer it with woodsy perfumes. I looked at the notes, and honestly could not pick out any of them. I just like the scent, the closeness of it, the softness of it, and the balance of all the notes that end up being something very similar to Flower Bomb, actually... I did a side by side, and they are WAY similar, with FB being a bit louder and more syrupy sweet. I love Flower Bomb, so maybe that is the key to my love of this. I usually hesitate w/ the celeb perfumes. But Jessica Simpson does it well, as does Rihanna. I hope this doesn't go out of production too soon. Would like to make sure I get a "backup" bottle of this.
I'm learning so much thanks to this website which is my one and only hobby. Perfume to be exact!
For the first time I get the 'cigarette' vibe that I read about in some reviews on diff scents.
This is the one that gave me a lit cigarette smell. Or better a ' I've been in a room full of cigarette smoke and now my good smelling self is fully covered ' smell.
Perfumes and skin chemistry remain an art work made by God.:)
If you've ever smelled Reb'l Fleur or Rebelle by Rihanna, this scent is definitely a step down on the intensity scale. It's not as in your face as either of those two, and shows a softer side of this collection.
The top notes for me are grape and vanilla, along with some woodsy, musky notes in the base. I find this a slightly sweet scent, but still with bold fruits and scents that make it a true Rihanna scent!
I think this softer scent is perfect for a lot of occasions, really great for everyday wear, and just a light, fun fragrance for any occasion!
Smells lovely out of the bottle.
The tropical note is pretty lovely and, as a rare case, not coconut.
The musk is irritating me a bit, as musk is apt to do. The musk and jasmine have a bit of a deadening odour. The drydown goes into a rancid, flat place even though the perfume itself is lovely and tropical.
I have to try this on my skin, though. I could possibly prefer this to Sensuous Nude or Heavenly as an intimate scent.
i dont know why ive said i like it so much it actually smells kind of weird, it reminds of medicine caugh medicine or something. but its still an original scent
This reminds me of something and I cannot for the life of me, think of what it is.
It's a nice fragrance. Sweet, slightly fruity, but vanilla and sandalwood anchor it all down. I like it, but it's not a scent I would wear personally.
I was at a store and randomly sprayed the body mist version, and was really pleasently surprised. Then I thought, if body mist smells this good then the actual perfume must be fabulous! I extremely rarely like celeb perfumes but I can be occasionally surprised. I bought the perfume without trying it, and I hate to say it was a let-down. It was not bad or anything, it was just kind of meh. I may still go and get that body mist -- that was really great!
it smells kinda sweaty too me.. and fruity-sweet, then that dries down to powdery but still that sweat note.
Its ok, warm and comforting but a bit too sweet for me.. it doesn't smell fresh enough to be a good 'nude'...
An amazing Fragrantica friend sent me a 30 ml bottle of Rihanna Nude. I had sampled it before and found it amazing! Now that I can spray at will I'm totally in love with it :) It is the perfect sweet fragrance in my mind. I do not care for the other Rihannas but Rihanna Nude is just heaven!
I went out with my friend and asked her what is she wearing, when she told me it was rihanna I was surprised.
I don't like any of her perfumes, I remember this one was too sweet on me..
Maybe I should try and wait an hour or so, It was amazing on her, sooo nice.
This is a lovely "skin" scent. I have just a small bottle and for the right price, I'll grab a large one. A modest price is important for the larger bottle because this just doesn't last on me. If it's such a skin scent that one would only notice it during a very intimate encounter, then I wish it to be just a bit stronger. A comparison of this would be B&B Works Cashmere scent. The two are very alike...Nude being the preferred to me. Cashmere is stronger and longer lasting, but even at that, it's not first choice of the two for me. If this lasts a longer time on you, then your fortunate, and I would advise buying the large bottle! This is a good choice for gift giving. I would be quite happy to receive this.
I have found this to be very long lasting. I can smell this for days on clothing. This has only gotten better and better. I must get the larger bottle!
After I read the reviews...I think I want to put this on my wish list....
The guava in this is really jumping!! When my bestie first prayed it, I was in love from the first spritz.It seems to be a much more fruity version of her first fragrance. It s is very feminine, pretty and seems like something you would wear to a party. Great buy!
The name itself describes this perfume very well. It smells like the color nude. It's not loud like her other two..its very soft. At first..I didn't like this at all. I thought the first blast of it smelled too much like melon. I gave it another chance and grew to love it. the dry down is of a white floral but it's not ever powering like some white floral's out there. It's very soft and has a weak silage but I think she intentionally made it this way because she even said that this perfume is very sensual and it is in a sense. A person would have to be up close and personal to smell this. I usually wear this in the day time or before I go to bed. It lays on your skin like second skin. Very soft..hidden..but feminine. I'm keeping this in my collection. :)
This will last you about 8 hours which is pretty impressive. I love wearing it in the day time. Very very nice. I'm ordering another right now!!
First spritz..reminded me of bathroom air freshener...now at drydown...it smells like Root Beer. Hmm not sure about this one. I'll have to get a 2nd opinion. It is NOWHERE NEAR as good as Reb'l Fleur. Rihanna should have stopped at Reb'l Fleur. I've tried Rebelle and now Nude and so far I have been very disappointed. I was hoping they would be better. Nude is kinda generic smelling. Oh well, I might still keep it. Who knows maybe I'm wrong. It has a licorice type smell to it which helps make it a little more unique then the average perfume, but still not so good. The smell reminds me of a diaper bag or diapers. Ebay here I come......;)
Nude is quite the proper name for the third fragrance by Rihanna. When one thinks of the word nude, the term au naturel comes to mind. Completely unclothed and bare. And that's what Nude is all about.
It sits close to the skin, it's innocent, it's a light fragrance and frankly, it's barely there. There is an initial blast of a fruity, sweet, tropical scent that hints of something beautiful ahead. And if you're familiar with the two previous flankers, Rebelle and Reb'l Fleur, you're thinking perhaps the longevity will be wonderful. But it isn't. disappointment looms ahead. Nude is just what the name implies and suggest. I applaud the title. It is spot on. Nude is good as a bed-time scent because you'll fall asleep soon enough and not need a perfume with a longevity factor.
There's a muskiness to it that keeps it interesting for the older range group along with the younger target audience. The woodiness keeps Nude a simple perfume that's not seductive or mind-boggling or even memorable. It's really more of a comfort scent to wear with an over-sized sweater and jeans. But bear in mind, this is one you'll have to re-apply often unless you enjoy a scent that lies so close to your skin you have to burrow your nose in your arm to smell it.
It's pretty, yes. It's relaxing. It won't offend a soul. I purchased it as a set with the lotion and body wash included which are very decent products. Since the price I paid were from a clearance shelf, I cannot complain. I'm only out $12.50. Had I paid more for just the perfume, I would have been highly disappointed. I expect more for my money.
If you're looking for an extremely light, tropical, woody, musky scent that doesn't last long, one that you have to re-apply often, and you don't have to worry about it offending the people around you, here's your choice. If you're thinking along the lines of Rihanna's other perfumes, do not compare Nude to them.
As far as the bottle, I've said it before with Rebelle and Reb'l Fleur, this is one of the worst designs I've ever encountered. the bottom is too large to hold while the neck is too slim to manipulate the sprayer at the same time. Pretty to look at tho.
Nude is definitely a sample before you buy. As an after thought, I layered this with Coty's Vanilla Musk and the combo of the two made for such a delightful mix that lasted for hours, I was finally happier with Nude. It's better to use for layering. For those of us who like our perfumes on the heavier side, or those of us who are used to stronger perfumes or for those who just want some oomph in their fragrance, Nude just won't make the cut. It's too simple. If you're a veteran perfumista, this one might just be too much on the simple side.
When celebrities hawk their fragrances at the department store launches, wouldn't it be nice if they knew some information about their perfume? Maybe describing some of the attributes by notes, how long it lasts, the nose they worked with to develop the perfume are all interesting topics that show the consumer the celebrity perhaps had a hand in the development of the fragrance. As far as Rihanna, here she is on an interview at Macy's talking about her perfume during its inaugural launch.
When questioned on what her perfume is about in by two different interviewers, this was Rihanna's response:
"I love that it changes in the morning when you wake up naked the next morning…it smells…it smells really…good. It gets better and it keeps getting better."-that was Rihanna talking to Bella Sugar/Pop Sugar TV about Nude Perfume.
"When I was a little girl my Mom actually used to work behind a counter selling perfume in a store like this so I always was very familiar with fragrances from a really young age and I could still recognize things…perfume…just by …I could smell it and know it…even from young so I always wanted to make my own fragrance and now this is my 3rd one. It's been super successful so far and I'm excited that people even like it and want to smell like me. The interviewer from Extra TV then asked Rihanna, "What's this one smell like? The name is Nude." Rihanna responded, "It's all nude. It's a sassy fragrance. It's not stripped down in any way but it's the way you want to smell naked. My women and my guys trust me-you want your girls to smell like this."
Loads of info there from the face behind the perfume. It's "sassy". Oh-and it's "nude". Just in case you didn't realize the correlation between the name on the box and the juice inside. Hype. And more Hype.
Don't buy a perfume because of the face behind it. There's a chance you won't like it. Test it first. If you do like it, it's a win-win.
More importantly? If the person hawking the perfume can't describe the product that has their name on the box, you really need to question their motives for introducing perfumes at the height of their career. And if your purchase is simply because you're a fan and it's a blind-buy, or you're buying a celebrity's perfume simply because you're a fan, well, hey, that's what disposable income is for. Your disposable income is now part of their gross income.
Oh my god, I got this in a swap with a local fragrantica user, and absolutely LOVE it. It smells like an almost coconutty, sugary, tropical flowers/fruit concoction. Super beautiful, and I receive compliments all the time when I wear it. The only down side is it lasts about 4-5 hours. Other than that, I'm in love with it!! <3
Nude is a sweeter & younger scent, compared to Rihanna's first two fragrances; Reb'l Fleur and Rebelle. The mandarin orange really stands out for me in Nude, with hints of white flowers. Overall it's a nice day perfume, and the sillage and longevity do not disappoint, like Rihanna's first two fragrances, Nude has great projection and lasts all day on me. I would describe this as a super sweet fruity floral smell. The only problem I have with the fragrance, is that it is almost way too sweet, so I only apply this sparingly. Don't get me wrong, it's a very nice perfume, but the rule "less is more" definitely applies when wearing this!
Nude by Rihanna is the third perfume from the disturbia singer. This time the box is a skin color and the band on the box is also skin color (hence the name nude) This time the bottle is clear with the skin colored band on the bottle with a skin colored cap. The cap has 2 silver bands on it and the liquid is also clear this time. This time the fragrance is very light fresh and clean smelling. The perfume last for ages and just like the other 2 boxes there is also an advertisement slip cover with this perfume. This is my favorite Rihanna fragrance.
I give this perfume a 9.5/10 from me :)
I got this on a blind buy at Ross. I read the reviews on here and it was basically a toss up, so I had to try for myself. I love smelling fresh and clean and this doesn't quite fit that shower fresh scent I was hoping for. On me it smells more like I just took a sandalwood scented bubble bath. Still very pretty and feminine.
As scentedlove said, this is a creamy soft smelling perfume that isn't too strong or harsh. I love this scent from Rihanna, but this is the only one of hers I like as the others smell like black licorice to me and I hate black licorice. :/
My son brought me this one for Christmas. To be honest I can't remember if I sprayed it. But it came with a pretty black make up case tho.
I am already aware that some people are going to be voting me down, but I want to voice my own experiences and be true to it.
Now, I got this fragrance in the beginning of my fragrance journey, before I signed up here or even knew about this website. I just wanted to add to my collection and I thought this was the one to do, having smelled it in the air and on a magazine. Boy was I wrong!
The scent on me was sticky and rancid, like someone had thrown old white grapes dipped in an old disgusting pear syrup at me and I hadn't washed it off. In the morning when I would spray it, my mother would gag, literally! (Whenever I want to make her stomach hurt, I just say you know, I think I'm gonna buy Nude again!)
With sillage, I believe it was something that stuck very close to skin, because no one would comment on my scent and they usually do, maybe it was something bigger but no one really liked it.
After about 2-3 days of use, I had a TERRIBLE allergic reaction my neck, it had darkened and become very itchy. But I had fallen in love with the lotion and body wash. The lotion smelled like a yummy cheesecake and was delicious!
Nude wasn't for me at that point in my life, but I know that body chemistry changes over time and maybe it was something else to have cause the reaction? I think I want to try it out again, who knows, maybe we can get along together...
I'm not sure if this has been reviewed before, but if you are looking for a fragrance close to orange sherbert....this is the one. I didnt have it long enough to see how the other notes developed....but
Orange sherbert is wonderful for me, so yes....I like it enough :)
To me this smells just of fruit and sweetness. Bit too synthetic in my opinion. It's definitely wearable. And to some it might be really nice but it just isn't for me and would rather spend the money on something else.
I don't really see why this fragrance is called Nude. Unless you got naked and dumped a couple cans of Jumex Guava Nectar on yourself.
Sticky, syrupy guava, pear and gardenia are all I can smell here. The plasticky note that gardenia can sometimes have is very strong in this fragrance.
Guava nectar out of a plastic sippy cup.
Nude is a creamy, lush, soft and sweet fragrance.
The composition is very smoothly blended, starting with a sweet burst of juicy fruits when sprayed (the pear and guava), into a soft flowery orange (not sharp or sour, more creamy) and laced throughout with wisps of warm sensual vanilla and a slight woodiness.
This perfume reminds me of a luxurious bath with vanilla candles burning, followed by the scent of a creamy body lotion being smoothed onto clean, bare skin.
The dry down is gorgeous, very musky, the vanilla orchid, orange blossom and musk all very present, smelling warm, sensual and quite intimate.
True confession: I tried this twice along with other samples and wasn't sure which was smelling so good as time passed...Bought BOTH wrong samples in search of that elusive delicious sweet scent I craved, and felt so foolish that I forbade myself to go back for the remaining possibility, Nude.
OH WELL, I did, and I'm in love! So pretty and soft and worth the wait. The florals do not take over, thankfully. The gentle vanilla, mildly sweet whispery spiciness settles into the perfect amount of feminine allure. Natural but satisfyingly sweet.
And I have two nice gifts for someone :-) (glad I kept the boxes from the "wrong" ones!)
Nude is a gorgeous scent! Soft whisps of amber (even though it it not listed in the notes)and creaminess are the most prominent notes. It is not an overpowering scent, yet it has beautiful projection. This lovely fragrance is definitely a statement of femininity. Nude will be a mainstay in my fragrance collection!
From start to finish all I can smell with this perfume is white florals, it is a clean and fresh scent that reminds me of a beautiful white floral bouquet in a clear glass vase. It is inoffensive to the nose but as I am not a straight florals fan this perfume is not for me. I see where Rihanna was going with the design and branding of this perfume, but 'Nude' to me would of perhaps worked better with less florals and more of a fresh milky scent, akin to when you have just finished in the shower, instead the perfume conjurs up images of of walking past a florists on a summers day.
This is just everything you may want in a bottle! I smelled this and i knew i had to have it. Went to savers here in the UK and found the 100ml going for £25 and i got it so fast because i knew it wouldn't be on their shelves for long. From the first burst to the dry down, am in love. It is sweet but very mature. Quite sophisticated IMO. Am in my thirties and the last thing i want is to smell like a sugar explosion. Love this.
I adore Reb'l Fleur and was eager to like this, as Fleur can be a bit much, and I want to cherish it. When I tested Nude, the first bubblegum splash was answered by an "Oh no" from me, but that one lasted only about five minutes and then it blended nicely, warm, vanilla, interesting but soft, sweet but not too girly, and I kept smelling my wrist thankfully.
There's definitely a lot more going for it than just white flowers. The wood notes and the musk come through from the start, and they make the scent heavier, and darker, the fruit (especially agave and pear, the orange is mild) adding to the body of the perfume. This is a sexy scent and it's not shy.
To those who feel most beautiful naked, this is the perfect scent. It projects a warm skin note, which is just wonderful. I'm not sure clean is the right word for it, but comfortable sure is. Comfortable with itself, and a tad adventurous. It stays for about six to eight hours on me.
When I smell it from the bottle, the agave really is strong, but that one note mellows into the others when worn about 20 minutes in. I really enjoy working in this, it makes me happy, but I can understand that others prone to headaches will find this a bit too much - sweet and direct but musky and full of cedarwood as it is - so let's not overwear this. But sometimes I absolutely crave this, and then it's exactly what I wanted. These days it's my go-to scent.
When I first breath it ,i was just like " OMG,this is the best smell i had ever tried", and when I saw that it's from Rihanna. I bought it without thinking.Perfect sweet smell
I love this scent! its very original...but i swear i smell Cinnamon! its also smells like candy.
I tested this at Burlington Coat Factory and I could not stop smelling my hand this stuff is fierce! I need to get a bottle of this stuff. IMO, This is better than her first 2 fragrances.
WONDERFUL, already so underrated. a perfect sweet scent. i love it!
I just found this as a gift set in Burlington Coat Factory for $20 (Eau de parfum spray 1.0oz, Shower gel 3.0oz, Body lotion 3.0oz), plus it was 25% off, so it cost me $15. It's nice, but nothing really special, kind of reminds me of Bath & Body Works Cashmere Glow. I'll use it, but doubt I repurchase more. I don't really like the bottle, it's uncomfortable to spray, slips out of my hands. But all in all, smells nice, like a warm out of the shower clean scent.
This reminds me a lot of Ellen Tracy Bronze, which I really like. If you like Bronze, you'll probably like this one, too. Soft, inoffensive, great to wear in the office year round. I really like this.
Someone gave this to me . While it has this juicy fruity nice-vibe side, it's then again not very sizzling. It's a nice fruity scent with a tropical feeling to it, but not special. What I found very annoying is that I got a major (!) headache everytime I wore it. I had to pass it on too.
This dries down beautifully on my skin. The sandalwood note is noticeable and believable. What would have made this a great scent (for me) is some smokiness. The opening fruit jam doesn't last too long, fortunately, pleasant though it is.
I sprayed this on my arm today in the store and I have been trying to figure out what it reminds me of... I finally realized that on the dry-down it has the EXACT warmth of Burberry Brit mixed with a subtle, underlying smokey/spice... I must purchase this ASAP :)
Went back to the store today and purchased this... Really does smell great. It reminds me a lot of an updated version of Burberry Brit. I really want Reb'l Fleur next because it smells soooooo much like Flowerbomb, which I'm getting low on!
On my skin, this is only candy sweetness and nothing more or less.
This smells so yummy, just like Skittles. It's very sweet, mouthwatering, fruity, smooth and creamy all at the same time.
The opening is bright and sparkling, the guava and citruses are well pronounced, then it becomes sweet and warm deliciously creamy without being too sweet and annoying. Sometimes I get some honeysuckle which is not listed.Smells like an expensive powder, like sophisticated soap ( in a good way) and that makes sense- it smells like a naked, warm body after a shower.
Light, soft, comforting, relaxing and "hugging" fragrance of a good quality.
OMG I LOVE THIS! This is one of my favourite perfumes right now. I love how this is more of a daytime scent compare to Reb'l Fleur and Rebelle. I scent is very soft yet still powerful and sweet. When I first spray this I get a waft of the vanilla and guava. As the day goes one I smell more of the musk and the florals. This is really a great fragrance for anyone, recommend to buy this.
Okay, this perfume is delicious! Like I said in my first review of it, it is a soft perfume which is a great addition to her collection of perfumes. I just bought it and it also smells like the lighter version of Reb'l fleur. So if you like that one but you want a lighter, more toned down version of it, this would be the perfect choice! It is sweet and delicious. You can even wear it to bed...Nude of course! lol. I totally recommend! Now, I am looking forward to Rogue!
Too sweet. I cannot stand it.
This is a very lovely mature scent. I have her other two and this one has to be my favorite, It didn't bother my nose like her other ones. It's very light and girly with less musk as the others. I'm going to go back and buy me a bottle!
When I first applied this I smelled it and just kinda went "meh". Wasn't bad, but wasn't impressive either. Then I went about my day. Hours later I was just going to see if nude was still there, when I smelled something very familiar, and lovable. On my skin, this dries down the same way coco madomoselle dries down! Which is wonderful for me because I'd love to buy coco madomoselle buy only have a small budget. May be purchasing this soon!
disappointed !! smells like orange candy .... i expect some extra ordinary scent..
Ha ha. Now every celebrity wants their white bottle or what? Taylor Swift, Justin Beiber, Selena Gomez...
Is that the trend? Just an observation. This fragrance is actually my favorite from her line. It's sweet and creamy but not too heavy. Just wish this bottle was different and not just a high heel franker.
Okay...so I went to Khol's and I saw this perfume! I was excited to see it since I love all Rihanna's perfumes and wanted this so badly. I sprayed it and I instantly loved it! It is very soft, kinda romantic and clean imo! I was a bit worried about the longevity lol but when I got home, I washed my hands, put baby lotion on my hands and I could still smell it. This means that although it is a "nude" scent, the longevity is quite impressive! I am happy Rihanna made this perfume and it is soft because her previous ones are very loud! I smell, the Guava in it mostly and I love it! I totally recommend it. P.S sometimes, a soft perfume does not always mean that it has a weak longevity. It would sit close to the skin but you could still smell the perfume! ;)
this is a very nice perfume, and i think the ads are very alluring and perfect for it
The initial spray was very sweet and overwhelming. The fruit combo was too much for me and I love sweet scents but this combo didn't smell good on my skin for about the first 20 mins. After about 45 mins, it had calmed down to a light fruity vanilla scent that wafted through the air as I walked through the office. I probably won't repurchase this but will enjoy wearing it for the rest of the summer.
I got this today as a birthday present, and this is probably Rihanna's best scent. Nude opens up with a BURST of guava. Then the pear comes and makes it more sticky, it is similar to the pear in Katy Perry's Meow! fragrance. Then the heart comes and starts with that soft jasmine, then gardenia comes and makes it smelling more vintage. Finally, the base. With its orchid and its milky gourmand notes, finishes of with a sweet and powdery base. This is her best one. Buy it right away!
This is def a Rihanna nude. I was thinking that she decided to go safe boring Jennifer Aniston style. No way this is sweet flirty nude. It opens with guava and orchid very sweet. It continues with loads of personality being helped by the sandalwood, gardenia and
jasmine. This is definitely not your typical nude bit of a misnomer. This would be great for a day out with friends shopping I'm not sure if I would wear this to work. I do know that many women wear Paris Hilton's Can Can, that is entirely sugary so...
I loved this fragrance when I first applied it. It's a fresh and spicy blast of fruits and florals. It doesn't take long to dry down. When this dries down....it really dries down. The top notes are completely gone, and all you have is sticky vanilla, which I'm not a fan of. Someone who loves sweet vanilla will be a fan of this. I wish the top and heart notes lasted longer, because they are simply divine.
Nude is a sweet,feminine,floral fragrance! The orchid and guava give that sweet floral note! The musk and sandal wood balance that orchid and guava notes! The pear and gardenia are more soft on my skin. Perfect for summer!
Sprayed it on today and developed a great headache. It wasn't getting any better and unfortunately it stayed with me even after I washed my hands twice. Well - that's the upside, right? Good staying power! :) But for me it's to sweet, sticky... Can't quite pin it. I also thought that it smells quite similiar to the other two.
This smells just like Kim Kardashian True Reflection, mixed with a little bit of Rihanna reb'l fleur. Not really a fan of this scent. I didn't like Kim Kardashain True Reflection perfume either, wish I knew they smelled the same before I purchased this one.
i already sniff this at a shop. i just don't know how to describe the characteristics of this perfume.i guess my conclusion would be this is so typical rihanna' perfume. there's always something exotic in the notes. just like her other 2 perfumes. it did reminded me of reb'l fleur which i prefer and own but they don't actually smell the same. is it unique? maybe. will i purchase this in the future? probably not.
For me this is a disappointing scent, I expected some thing unique and special but this is a fruitier copy of (True Reflection by Kim Kardashian)
Still the 1st One (Reb'l Fleur) is the best and one of my favorites for ever.
Of her three fragrances, this is my favourite. It is wonderfully tropical with a 'flirtatious' air about it (compared to her other two outright bold and sexy scents). This evokes for me a woman with warm, delicately scented (creamy lotion), slightly musky, naked skin who has just woken up from her luxurious four poster bed swathed in white cotton in an airy villa on perhaps Mustique or some other Grenadine island.
I definitely get the guava and pear and the vanilla orchid and musk. This is soft, definitely a skin scent but it lasts because I get delicate wafts of it throughout the day whenever it is worn. Wearing it today, I felt like I should have been in my summer whites off on holiday relaxing instead of being in the office. Ah, just 2 more months to go!
Okay, Rihanna's perfume line is known for their very strong perfumes that last, but she has taken a different route for her third fragrance Nude. This one is very soft and sultry. The Guava and Vanilla orchid really dominate in this fragrance. The Guava immediately hits you when you first spray this perfume, it is a very sexy, seductive smell, really desirable. You can also smell the Vanilla orchid, this adds the creaminess to this fragrance.
The silage is very weak, but I think Rihanna intended on this, because she wants us to feel 'Nude'. The lasting power thought, I find is actually good! It lasts 7+ hours. People think its not there because it sits so close to the skin, but trust me, it's there!
Again, the bottle is the same as the other two fragrances, so I don't really need to cover that apart from the fact its got nude colouring instead of red or black.
This is one of my favourites, the creamy Vanilla orchid and the Guava make this fragrance smell original! It really does, it has a very sexy smell to it, and you will get compliments a plenty with this perfume!
This was a christmas gift and I was so excited to smell it.
I like it but then I don't like it.
This perfume confuses me because I can't seem to love it yet I like the smell.
OK this is what I like about it..
pros:Very sweet.Nice to wear in the summer.Has a white floral scent in the end which I am very fond of and I love the bottle of this perfume.Very beautiful.
Cons:Hate the orange smell in here.It's really strong...has a weird fruity smell when it hits your skin at first..one it settles in however..It starts to get bearable to smell.NOT long lasting.
This smells wonderful on my best friend..she loves it and I like it.
I smelled this at sears hoping to love it but i couldn't find any interesting notes in this.. It's not sweet to me at all, too strong and nothing special..
I smelled this today was expecting a fresh fruit explosion (in a good way) but I was WRONG its very sweet powdery and creamy the notes of this fragrance are quite linear as I don't get fresh fruit I get a sweet powdery pear mixed with sandalwood giving it depth overall was quite disappointed and the bottle is to I plain and simple 2/10
Nude is a delicious, creamy and sweet perfume.
It starts with juicy guava,pear and sweet vanilla. Then the fruit softens and it becomes more creamy & smooth. The drydown smells quite masculine but in a really good way!
The lasting power is about 5 hours & sillage is moderate.
Overall, Nude is my favourite Rihanna fragrance. It is sweet, fruity and slightly masculine. A little bit sexy. Highly recommended!
Armani Code meets Estée Lauder Sensuous Nude. I like Rhianna's take on the premise of a "nude" scent-it lies close to the skin and invites closer inspection. It's sweeter than Sensuous Nude, smells like it has the added orange blossom and honey I find in Code. I like it. I spray it on my clothes to make it last longer. She's done a good job making an subtle, interesting scent.
I have to agree that "Nude" is not what I think of when I smelled this fragrance...not having read the notes beforehand I sprayed this on at the drugstore when it caught my eye on the way out.
This is a sweet and spicy fruity vanilla on me, thick and syrupy, suited to fall/winter.
Strong at first, but after a couple hours I can only catch the faintest whiffs on my clothes (I spray fairly heavily, 8 sprays approx).
I did end up buying a large 100ml for $20, so it wasn't a huge investment, and I will have it in my rotation.
I'm in "like" with it, not love.
Rebelle is one of my favorite fragrances (and I'm a guy -- also love Reb'l Fleur but it's too sweet for a male to wear) so I was excited to smell this just from being a fan of her fragrances. It has a disgusting, sickly sweet opening, but once the opening disappears it's nice. Smells unoriginal to me though, which is a shame given that her previous two are quite interesting and edgy as far as mainstream pop star frags go.
Also, the scent doesn't reflect the smell. When I think of "nude" I imagine something clean and fresh and sexy. Sickly sweet fruits targeted at little girls are NONE of those things, so I don't know what they were thinking making the opening so nasty.
I kind of enjoy the opening. I mean, I suppose most people would, it smells like it was produced to appeal to the masses. While wearing it I kept thinking 'What does this remind me of?', and I had my AHA! moment just now: it is somewhat similar to Cacharel's Promesse. The same fruity sweetness and powdery freshness, if that makes sense. The sweet notes in Nude are stronger than in Promesse, though. And YES, it reminds me of Burberry The Beat too!!!
After a 2-3 hours this just smells like I sprayed gummi bear water on myself, so longevity is not great with this number.
Like most reviewers, I'm disappointed with this scent. I would've expected this from Paris Hilton or Avril Lavigne; not from the woman who gave us Reb'l Fleur and Rebelle. Rihanna's Nude should've been deep, warm, softly sweet and gorgeous, not superficial, fizzy, tooth-decayingly sweet, and unoriginal.
The bottle...sigh, visually, this bottle only worked in its Reb'l Fleur form, IMO. Rebelle was kind of meh, and my 30 ml bottle of Nude just looks ugly to me :(
I was hoping for more, so my review might be a bit too harsh, but this one gets a pretty low rating from me.
UPDATE: I decided to give Nude another chance, hoping the warmer weather would make for a different experience. I was pleasantly surprised. While I still think this is in the fizzy-drinks-and-gummy-bears category, it is actually quite pleasant. I still wish Rihanna would've gone in a different direction with this, but I think I'll give this bottle some use this summer. Upping this from a dislike to a tentative like.
Too sweet . And smeels like beyonce heat rush.
I revisited Rihanna Nude and I get why I had swapped it before, it smells light and sweet, pretty but nothing new, and longevity is poor, nonetheless I will finish my mini spray. As it smells pretty!!
It has a bit of a tropical vibe, similar to the JLo's scents, been done before, but if you at looking for a sweet skin scent, it would work.
Love Rebelle, like Reb'l Fleur and this one is OK... And nothing more. Not special nor unique... Fruity at beginning, after 5 minutes flowery and then there is just vanilla orchid. After an hour or so there is nothing left. Dissapointed, I had great expectations.
I love this perfume i tried it today and fell in love with it as soon as it touched my skin. Want to buy this asap.The best one shes done so far.
By Rihanna I believ is the second best scent from Rihanna with the first being Rebelle. This scent opens up with very very sweet pear and guava notes perfect for the upcomeing summer! Then it turns into a very sweet vanilla scent almost like white chocolate with vanilla if that makes sense :) and the dry down on me smells like a sweet men's cologne which I love all in all this scent is amazing and I will be wearing it this summer ;) 10/10
I really like the top notes but when it dries down it is too musky.
I really was curious about this scent, because there was so much rave about it. I was disappointed. To me it's just another fruity floral. I couldn't find anything special about it and also didn't like it on my skin.
SMELLS EXACTLY LIKE ARMANI CODE! EXACTLY! Espicially the drydown. When i first tried it today... i was like.. this smells EXACTLY like a perfume i already had/have. After about 30 minutes of thinking and head scratching, i finally put my finger on it. Armani Code! I'm serious, they smell exactly alike. If i had to nit pick little differences, the only one would be that this is more creamy, while armani code is more fresh/spicy. It's nice, but not anything unique. A better version of Code.
amazing fragrance...
BUT the bottle in the 100ml is ridiculous i carry perfume in my bag and this bottle is very unfriendly!.bottom heavy.
I tried it yesterday and I LOVE it. On my skin it is creamy and sweet - I get a mix of gardenia and vanilla and musk that is just lovely. It hangs close to my skin (which is good because I don't like loud fragrances) and lasts forever (24 hours later my skin still has a light sweet scent). The name is apt - it's a subtle, sexy scent that someone who leans close will get a luscious whiff of. . . quite possibly my new signature.
It was a blind buy for me. My roommate had the Reb'lfleur and I loved it. Then I saw this and I thought I'd buy it. I was really worried about it at first, because I never liked the second perfume Rihanna came out with. But when I got it I was constantly it. It reminded me so much of With Love by Hilary Duff. I had that when I was a kid, so it took me a while to remember what it smelled like. But I love it. It's light and sassy. Has a fruity smell to it.
smells very light and fruity
Smells absolutely divine.A beautiful, summery scent that's as immensely captivating as her two previous fragrances.Shares similarities to Beyoncé 'heat rush' perfume which I also adore.A must have. :)
This opens with lots of guava and pear. I love these two fruits so I was in heaven. Here it's juicy, fresh and tropical. A creamy, clean floral with the musk comes through in the middle making the perfume slighltly powdery and subtly sexy. It dries with a warmness rounding it off at the end with slight nuances of the guava and pear.
Another splendid effort from Rihanna. All her perfumes are fantastic. This is quieter than the other two but just as addicting.
The one thing that Nude lacks that Reb'l Fleur and Rebelle excel in is lasting power and sillage. This is by no means poor just average on both accounts. I still love it though!
I've tried on this stuff a couple of times at the mall. Each time I simply end up smelling like lemon and lime soda. There really isn't much else to it. Just sugars and fruit juice. Definitely an overly youthful fragrance with very little substance to it. It's fun but it's a bit of a waste, and it kind of makes me sneeze. I'd rather go with Reb'l Fleur, which is exquisite.
Just got a bottle today love it by far rihannas best perfume.
i have this, i love it so much, it is so creamy and fresh, this is such a feminine perfume and a true classic. i love rihanna and it would just figure that her perfume would smell amazing because she is amazing
this is an excellent date night perfume or for anytime really because it is just so amazing!!!!! i love this so much
best rihanna perfume, smells very fruity and soft :)
Wow. This smells very similar to Lady GaGa's FAME. I've used 3 bottles of FAME so I am very familiar with it and know every last detail. I was SO excited to finally see Nude in a store, I was so nervous before I smelt it that it wouldn't be as good as Reb'l Fleur or Rebelle, I delayed smelling it for a minute or two because my expectations were high and Rihanna's fragrances have an amazing reputation. When I sprayed it, all I smelt was FAME, minus the apricot. Once it dried down on my skin, it even developed a plasticy smell. Uh, I am really disappointed with this.
Definitely does NOT even come close to the standard of Reb'l Fleur or Rebelle.
On my skin this smelled almost like a lighter verson of Reb'l Fleur. It is light and tropical, just a touch of sweetness, and stays close to the skin. Even though it is fruity it isn't strong and doesn't ever smell syrupy. I think the name suits it well, but I prefer Reb'l Fleur and Rebelle to this fragrance. It didn't have great lasting power on me, unlike the other 2 of Rihanna's fragrances. I would say that Nude is a middle of the line, safe fragrance compared to its predecessors. Wearble, certainly, but nothing to write home about.
I´m surprised again. Another great fragrance from Rihanna! It open´s with creamy smooth vanila and bit a fruit´s. About 20 min later vanila turn´s into sandal wood still very smooth. This fragrance is really close to skin. It´s not agresive like Fleur used to be. It´s intimate. Can´t wait for spring and sumer, couse I fell this one will be even better when it´s hot!
I finally got a chance to wear this today....someone mentioned that it smells like bubble yum and I agree! On my skin I get grape bubble yum and vanilla. I put it on at about 3p after showering and although its very close to the skin,I can still smell it after running a few errands fours ago. I believe that Nude will be an instant favorite for me durning the Louisiana summer heat....the heat here always makes the lightest fragrance stand out in a crowd!
I have tried this fragrance and it is definitely on my "to get" list! It's a light, very sexy scent and I detect a hint of sandalwood. A feminine fragrance, in my opinion, and I like it very much!
Based on the reviews here, cant wait to try this fragrance. Its definitely going to be my next buy!
Finally tested it today! What I love most about Rihanna is that all three of her perfumes are so different from each other and unique. Her first one smelt ultra floral with some coconut and was really different from other popstars. Then her 2nd one was coffee and cocoa and was rich and deep and perfect for Fall/winter.
This one is lighter but still rich and floral. For me the orchid and guava are the strongest notes and it initially gives it a tropical floral sweetness. The gardenia is light and adds some floral creaminess, which can give it the illusion that this scent contains vanilla.
Finally the dry down is powdery and woodsy from the sandalwood. Overall a nice light scent with good staying power! Unlike other light scents that disappear within 20mins, this one does linger nicely and sticks on the skin.
I love this perfume! On me it is so warm an cozy and vanilla goodness. I can't get enough of it. It smells good enough to eat. Until Nude, my favorite has been Dolce &Gabbana por femme. It's a warm powdery vanilla as well, but Nude seems more creamy and a tad less sweet in the vanilla.I have all three of Rihanna perfumes and this is the best by far! Love!
How this can be called Nude I really don't know. Nothing sexy about this perfume - a childish scent of strawberry gum, quite linear. Not even coming close to Bill Blass's Nude which is playful and sexy and meaningful. Not a bad scent in itself, just with the name like that expectations are high.
Received a paper sample of this in a recent Macy's catalog and wow this is a beautiful summer time scent! It's very fruity and light and would be perfect for the warmer seasons. I would like to own a bottle of this, but I think ill wait a few months for it to get really discounted like her others :)
On a side note, I do wish she came up with a new bottle design. Really not a fan of her current ones.
This is her lightes scent so far!! It smells good though, the opening is kinda the same as all othe other celebrity fragances BUT the dried-down its quite something:) I find the smell kinda dry, maybe is the sandalwood. Its called nude because the fragance stays close to the skin. I wasnt expecting this from her, because Reb'l fluer and Rebelle are BEAST on sillage and projection. This does last long but doesnt project that much.
i cant wait to try this perfume out in the store the next time i go! after reading this review and all the comments I'm really interested in the notes. I absolutely adore perfumes with mandarin and pear as well as floral notes like orchids and Jasmine so it seems that this perfume ticks all the boxes for me!
I really like this scent! I bought it based on a paper sample I received from Macy's. I thought it was the guava that stood out as something special. However, once I actually tried it on, it smelled a whole heck of a lot like my favorite, Lady Million by Paco Rabanne. Now that I'm comparing the notes I see that I must like a mixture of Jasmine, Gardenia, and African Orange Flower/ Orange Blossom (probably the same thing), which are the only notes I smell now that it is on me. Lady Million still stands out as a little more radiant and magical. I'll probably have to sell this one. :-/
Again, I find this bottle design is difficult to hold! I feel like it'd slip off my hand everytime. For the scent of this Rihanna Nude, I get a really nice mix of fresh and sweet fruity floral character and rich and creamy musky white flowers.
Not a quiet scent as I thought it would be. It's kinda cozy and soft but at the same time it's ready to scream out loud. I usually don't care for anything with white flower but this is nice however. Rebelle is still my favorite as it tends to be a bit more unisex than anything else she has in the lineup.
I am only doing this review based on a paper sample in a Macy's advertisment. I must say I really like this fragrance, although it does remind me of some others. To me, there is a slight similarity to Mine Again by Mariah Carey, but I think Nude is a little nicer. I really do not get any similarites to either of Rihanna's previous two fragrances. Overall, to me, Nude is a very nice fruity/floral with a powdery/vanilla background.
Also, does anyone know whether Nude will be available as a body lotion? I have seen references to a body lotion and shower gel on another site, but I keep checking Macy's website and they still only have the 3.4 oz spray available.
I just received a paper sampler of Nude in a current Macy's catalog and cannot get over how amazing it smells! There is a sort of sour yet sweetly intoxicating combination between the guava and pear notes, and it is definitely a must have on my list.
Ok so i wasnt a fan if rihanna's last to fragrances. But when reading the decription and the look if the bottle and notes. It looked like something i would wear. So when i went to macys i grabbed a tester card and the perfume and sprayed it. And Oh My Gosh! This fragrance is amazing.Its light,tropical,and friuty. I dont know but its sooo addicting to smell like you cant get enough if it. Definitly going to purchased this scent ASAP.
Okay this is my very first review and i come here lot's and ALWAYS check the reviews for different perfumes.
I absolutely love Rihanna, bought her first bottle, then her second as a gift to my mom, now I was at Macy's last week and was told about her new frgagrance "Nude" I never tried it, sprayed a little on my wrist and went about smelling differnt perfumes, After spending 45 minutes in the fragance department testing different scents and making my boyfriend smell each one... I instantly fell in love with this beautiful, unique, clean, sweet, yummy delicious scent!!!
It's got this warm, creamy, tropical, fruity scent that you cannot get enough of! Honestly I was very sad I could not purchase a bottle at Macy's since it was all sold out but I came back to Canada and found one bottle left at Shopper's Drug Mart and very excited and surprised that my mom bought me it for xmas!
Ladies this is definitely a fragrance worth investing in, me and my boyfriend have been fighting quite a bit lately bit but ever since I got this perfume just a few days ago he's been non-stop all over my it makes him obessed and turned on lol.
This is definitely my new signature scent, I just got a 50ml bottle and wanting to buy a new one again!!
Rihanna's Nude smells more like Madonna's Truth or Dare Naked. The only real diffrence between Madonna's, and Rihanna's is that Rihanna's is more sweet / citrus, and Madonna's is straight up warm spicy / woody. I really like both of them, and I can't chose between the two, because I think they are equally great.
I like Rihanna Nude but I don't find it very exciting, on first spray it has something a bit synthetic, then it is pleasant enough, but personally I am not finding it to be great or very interesting.it is a fruity/ floral with a bit of an exotic vibe, nice but it stops at nice. I almost find Fame by Lady Gaga prettier, fresher... So I might swap my 100ml bottle as this scent isn't really working that well for me. I see NO similarities with Truth or Dare Naked!?
I think Nude is her best to date. I also think that about her new album Unpoligitic. I'm guessing the timing couldn't be more better, since both came out right before the holidays. I smell a warm spice in this. It's not listed in the notes, besides sandalwood, I think there is more to it than just that. I like her unquie perfumes. I just hope the next perfume she makes, she comes up with a unquie bottle. I don't see how people think this smells similiar to Lady Gaga's Fame. Lady Gaga's Fame is defintley stronger that Rihanna's Nude. The notes are very different from each other. The downfall on Nude is that when I spray it on my wrist, I can only smell it up to 30 mintues later. This is why I prefer the more expensive perfume, because it lasts longer.
Went and finally got to give this one a sniff today. It was nice, sweet, and very tame. I liked it, because I always like vanilla scents, but the lasting power isn't very good. It is a little plain for sure, but I think it's nice to have a very subtle scent for relaxing days in the summer. I do get a bit of a beach vibe from it, but I wish that it would last a bit longer. I don't mind the soft sillage; it's the longevity that I have a problem with. However, it is a pretty little fragrance, and to that I say kudos, Rihanna.
Why is vanilla so popular in frangrances? I'm so bored with vanilla scents. I was excited to smell it before I read it's got vanilla in it. I'm disappointed now.
Why, Rihanna? WHY? This Nude is TOO nude!
So, I drove with anticipation and a little bit of fear last week to purchase Nude. Walking up to the counter I was very scared. Rihanna has made two fantastic fragrances. In my honest opinion, she's killing the celebrity fragrance game with just two perfumes. No other celebrity can touch her as far as quality, depth and lasting power is concerned. Reb'L Fleur is a freaking revelation. I can spray it on my skin and smell it well into the next day. Enough about her older scents. Onto Nude
The associate sprayed this on a card and it was....pretty. Very nice and light but I don't like Rihanna doing nice and light. I want a STRONG, massive sillage scent from her. So, I bought this and Madonna's new Truth Naked at the same time and sprayed both on each wrist. Nude was guava and a hint of wood and maybe the vanilla orchid. It began to fade maybe an hour into it.
Fast forward to a week later and I really do love the scent, it's just TOO LIGHT! I can't wait to get the body lotion of this because this is just too nude! Thank goodness I've fallen in love with Nude. You had me scared there, Rihanna! Can't wait for her new Men's cologne, Rihanna Rogue!
P.S, I am VERY annoyed that the store banned Rihanna's ad so my box has no slip cover :(
Alright.. so I purchased Nude by Rihanna yesterday at Macy's. I've been looking forward to the release of this fragrance because I absolutely adore Reb'l Fleur!
As soon as I got home I sprayed Nude on one arm and Reb'l Fleur to the other so I could compare when going through the different notes as time passed.
Nude gives a flowery first impression. Then after about 45 minutes those wonderful tropical guava notes show up and it becomes rather addicting to smell! Reb'l Fleur gives off that daring, intoxicating, sexy vibe where Nude has a more shy, sweet, but still sexy vibe. I will definitely be switching it up depending on the occasion ;) lol
Rihanna makes some of the most unique and memorable fragrances which is what I'm always looking for in a perfume. The girl has good taste!
Original perfume right here. Soft, sensual. Spray it on your skin rather than on paper to test. I love it.
This is already out at the Macy's where I go to. I love it
I have no idea what people mean when they say this is "your typical perfume" or "basic". This scent is completely different than anything else out there, like Rihanna has made her signature. It must be because I have such a heightened sense of smell, but I find very little similarity between this lovely fragrance and Justin Beiber's weak, fruity mess titled "Girlfriend".
In similar Rihanna fashion, she presents us with an Eau that is divergent from the other trends on the market. Whereas Reb'l Fleur and Rebelle were exotic and spicy, Nude presents a different type of divergence. It's a creamy, tropical fragrance that keeps Rihanna's traditions going. It's not like your other vanilla-based, fruity gourmands...this one's intense guava note showcases Rihanna's roots. And the floral notes make this scent quite refined. It's lightly fruity, just woody enough to not dominate, and ultimately LUSH and gorgeous. I sprayed this ONCE on my wrist right out the box, and I've been indulging in deliciousness for about six straight hours. The dry down is so creamy and woody, retaining a slight hint of guava and pear. This perfume is quite a joy to wear from start to finish, and it solidifies Rihanna's name in this crazy world of fragrances as someone who blazes the trail with beautiful fragrances that offer something unique and different.
Rihanna has definitely impressed me, yet again.
I tested & purchased this tonight. It smells divine. For those who adore Reb'l, this is her toned down but still sexy & sweet sister. Upon the first spray you get Reb'l but as it dries down more of the sweetness comes in & takes you for a little ride, very intoxicating. The dry down COMPLETELY represents the name. It is a very light floral, creamy vanilla with some spice & a lil musk. Its very barely there w/ a lil umph! I love it! Rihanna has done it again.
I actually got to smell this....
It is quite lovely.
Maybe I am biased, because I love Rihanna, and I love the name of the fragrance...Nude...with the naked colored bottle, its so chic.
Anyways, back to the scent.
First wiff (in the store): Soft. Pretty. Familiar. Your typical perfume.
Then I walked around after respraying the paper and continued to analyze the fragrance.
There is no doubt vanilla behind this scent, but it is almost like a floral vanilla....
But the top of this fragrance must be the guava/pear because its kind of interesting/kind of unsettling for me.
Do I really want to smell like a pear?
I will say though, I could not stop smelling this scent! Every time I put it away from my nose, I forgot how it smelled and had to do another whiff.
At first it smells like an ordinary feminine perfume, but then it dries (quickly) and turns into an unusual and intriguing scent (flowerly vanilla) and then it REALLY dries and you barely smell anything but that's kind of what makes it sexy to me....its bare and soft, like nude skin ought to be.
Nude = bubble gum = yum = ♥!
Ok, I definitely get the original Reb'l Fleur from this one, just a little bit, which is just fine in my book seeing as how I love the original. I'm strangely getting a bubble gum vide from Nude, I'm probably insane for thinking that. The top notes are just delicious but it dries down rather quickly on me. I definitely wish the top lasted longer, that's a complete bummer, but all in all, Nude is just fine. It's definitely her lightest fragrance, which makes sense seeing as how it's called Nude, and it definitely isn't the monster that her other two are, but the lasting power is really just fine. It might just be a variation of her original, but it's definitely much better done than a lot of other fragrances out there. I thank G it smells nothing like Justin Bieber's to me, seeing as how I read someone say they couldn't tell the difference between the two! Haha! I'm terrible at describing things, but I'm getting fruity guava bubble gum, a tiny bit of vanilla, and a lighter version of the original Reb'l Fleur's drydown. Yummy in my book and I LOVE the bottle! : )
And, seeing as how I grew up with guava trees and absolutely love the smell and taste of guava, I am going to have to have this one. : )
Does it originally smell like Gaga's?! Or am I absolutely insane?! Haha!
1/22/13: I'm totally getting Burberry The Beat from this one! Great call Lolalemon! : )
How about the people who are so concerned ,that the people who vote when it's not out yet , just not care?????? It's more annoying to see u complain. Please!!!!!!!
The notes sound nice, except for guava?
