How to smell like Rihanna.

What perfume does Rihanna wear?

Rihanna’s scent is a bit of a secret. However, the talented artist is well known among other celebrities for how good she smells, making sense of why she likes to play the mystery card. 

According to my research, in 2014, Rihanna’s favorite perfume was Escada Moon Sparkle.

This fragrance is a fruity scent, almost gourmand (edible), that evokes youth, nude beaches, and coconut beverages.

However, in 2016, celebrities started raving about Rihanna’s smell, and then her secret came out. [1]

During a broadcast on social media, Rihanna’s friend accidentally revealed her favorite fragrance.

Drumroll. Kilian Love, Don’t Be Shy is the perfume Rihanna sports on the red carpet.

Love, Don’t Be Shy Description

Rihanna’s perfume is a unisex fragrance with notes of marshmallow, vanilla, orange blossom, and musk.  Like any other scent from the house of Kilian Hennessy, it’s super expensive and smells like success.

Doesn’t Rihanna wear Rebl Fleur, Fenty beauty or another Rihanna perfume?

Good question. Yes and no. Rihanna wears her own fragrance line, yet she prefers the smell of other brands.

Rihanna is not the only one.  While they have their own celebrity scents, most celebrities have other smells on their minds.
