Rihanna RiRi ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 22 July 2015 19 Comments

Rihanna RiRi

Rihanna will launch RiRi, a new pillar fragrance for women, this fall.

The notes feature passionfruit, rum, cassis, mandarin, honeysuckle, orange blossom, jasmine, freesia, vanilla, musk and sandalwood.

Rihanna RiRi will be available in Eau de Parfum; I will update with sizes when I can.

(via hollywoodlife)

Update: RiRi is sold in 30, 50 and 100 ml, and there is also a rollerball ($20 - $60).

    That outfit is Miss Piggy circa 1982.

      I think it’s just an awful ad altogether, but elsewhere it seems to be much admired.

      One headline says she looks like a Barbie “in a good way”, which cracked me up — I was not aware there was a good way to look like a Barbie.

        Robin,
        Honestly, this is the best that she has ever looked IMO. Not a Rihanna fan, but this is so much more tame than the outrageous outfits she normally wears. This ad softens her look so much. She looks more like a lady! LOL!
        The perfume sounds extremely sweet! Maybe because of that, they wanted her look to be innocent and sweet as well.
        I guess all the girls at my school will be wearing RiRi!

          I will believe you — I’m sure I couldn’t pick her out of a lineup despite having announced her fragrances in the past.

        It does seem like it will go with the juice though, which sounds VERY pink and sweet.

          And very boring but considering the target audience, I don’t think that sandalwood and oud would get their attention.

    I think I my teeth just rotted in my mouth as I read that list of fragrance notes. Sounds darn sweet.

    I just came back to the page and I totally saw Riri Barbie! The shading in the eye makeup is what does it. And that expression, so different than how she usually looks.

    Wouldn’t recognize her music, but I’ve seen her on the tv a few times… I think she is gorgeous. This is not her best look imho, but who cares? She isn’t trying to sell perfume to the likes of me 😉

    Yes, Krystle Carrington! I cannot wait to smell this. The bottle looks similar to the old Valentino and Bottega Veneta Knot, so I hope RiRi is just as heavy.

    She doesn’t look as trashy as she usually does; she looks adorable.

    But darn if I don’t think it’s kind of boring for her.

    However, it proves that she is a truly gorgeous woman who looks great no matter how she’s dressed/made up.

    Have never tried any of her perfumes, and probably won’t try this either, but good on her for shaking things up.

    After Diving Head First In LOVE With Bonbon by Viktor & Rolf… I am kinda Craving Sugary Sweet Confections… I might even now find myself liking the Original Sugar Overdose formulation of Miss Dior Cherie (All Strawberry Crush soda, Caramels and Popcorn!) This sounds like it could be in that Bonbon mould… which if done right can be Amazing!

    As for the Ad… I think it’s Like someone Clashed together those old Face On Avedon Paloma Picasso perfume ads with Prom Night Barbie and threw in a Little bit of Diahann Carroll circa the Dynasty Years Press shots! I think it’s Kitschy, Campy, and FIERCE! I LOVE IT!

    She just did a very NSFW video with MADS MIKKELSON (seriously, of all people) so I was expecting something sexy and jasmine-y-orientalish, with a touch of skank. But instead it’s gonna be pink and sugary and Barbie-ish.

    Disappointed.

    Based on her usual attire

    I’m guessing all she’s really wearing in the RiRi ad are ruffled gloves and a matching thong. 😉 And yet, they can put her in anything and, no matter how atrocious the outfit, she still looks astonishingly beautiful:

    Well, almost anything:

    Just once, I’d like to see her in something elegant and flattering!
