Description
Crush by Rihanna comes out in the summer of 2016. The new fragrance is Rihanna‘s eighth, and judging by the design of the bottle, it belongs to the same collection as RiRi by Rihanna from 2015. Crush is announced as a mysterious, sexy and provocative scent that breaks down barriers and is setting new rules; strong, empowering, unapologetic and confident.
The composition is said to be floriental. Fresh notes of bergamot, juicy mandarin and bright pink pepper create the opening and lead to the floral – fruity heart. Pink rose blends with spicy ylang-ylang, complemented by sweet and sour red berries aroma. The base ends with woody notes of sexy patchouli, creamy musk and cedar. The perfume was developed by Natasha Cote.
The bottle was designed by Rihanna herself; the form is identical to the RiRi edition, colored in shades of gold and decorated with pink details. It is available from the beginning of August 2016 as a 30 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum, along with a 10 ml rollerball.

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

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

This perfume is perfect. It’s light, but not watery! In fact, this one probably has the best sillage and longevity so far for it’s kind. Riri was just sugar water and Kiss was pleasant enough, but Crush really sparkles. It’s fresh and fruity, but the woody notes really turn the drydown into a sultry, sexy number! This is what a goddess wears. Rihanna did an amazing job!

Simple, feminine, casual, inoffensive and neutral floral fragrance. Nothing special or unique. “Crush” is just a wrong name for this one 🙂
It is by far the “safest” perfume from Rihanna line, perfect for blind buy, compared to her other much more “risky” and “daring” fragrances (Rebelle and Rogue). I still like it as it is so easy to wear and worry-free.

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

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

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

I love this scent. It last on me through out the day. I really smell the ylang-ylang
Unloanult – :
Dang it I sprayed one of these riri or this on my hand and can’t think which one it was. I get a real juiciness to the opening, wracking my brain to picture the bottle, but I can’t. It lasted well on my hand.
It’s the one that smells like clean juicey juice, so which ever it was
trygl – :
When Chanel released Gabrielle, it reminded me of few perfumes. Rihanna’s Crush was one of them.

This was a blind buy , I purchased this because Rihanna’s pink outfit and gorgeous makeup totally suckered me in on the packaging. Now for the juice it’s a sugary sweet generic scent. Smells very similar to pink friday by Nicki Minaj except sweeter. I like it a lot it smells really good. The scent isn’t anything Unique or distinct that would be an all time favorite. With that being said I still like it a lot & will enjoy it although the scent completely vanishes after 20 min on me. I don’t mind respraying tho because it is sexy & sweet. I like sugary sweet scents so Rihanna did a good job on this one. Candy & musk is the best way to describe it. Will re buy when this finishes. 🙂

Takes me right back to the early 80s and my friend’s mom and her Quelques Fleures. I always tried to like it, but found it like dried rose petals. Too old and heavy.

i disagree with the reviewers who think this is generic. I dont own any other cent that smells like crush. I only have the rollerball version but i am tempted to buy a whole bottle. it smells fresh and modern. Its citrus floral sweet and pathiooli. Very sexy.

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

I smelled this on a store the other day and it’s really nice. Nothing special though, just good.
I’m thinking about buying it since one of my friends said it smelled like me.
Apzo – :
Kind of like the teen version of the Ariana Grande bottle I tried (yes, this was my weekend to check out celebrity perfumes again.) Couldn’t get into this one; too sweet with nothing interesting to flesh it out.
zam – :
Rihanna typically puts out average-to-good perfumes. Rogue is one of my favorite perfumes ever (not just my favorite of hers). This really looks underwhelming. But, I’m not very much a fan of ylang-ylang. At this point in time, it is the top rated note. Unfortunately, this perfume doesn’t interest me. If I sampled it, I could change my mind, though.

I LOVVVVEEE this fragrance!!!!!!! HAPPINESS IN A BOTTLE!!!!
Softly, sweet happiness in a gorgeous glass (heavy too) bottle…Have it on my nightstand! Wear it alll day: work and then to bed after showering 🙂
My second Rihanna fragrance…I’m loving my Rihanna perfumes (what I have so far)!!!! 🙂
Roonceada – :
This smells really nice its light not as heavy as
Her others. I cant say it is extremely citrusy its a smooth warm vanilla. It is fruity but slightly more citrusy than riri that was more like strawberry and vanilla this has the lime. The bottle lid looks a bit cheap in reality compared to the nice lid riri had. I really like this it has good projection and not too sweet. Even though people say age doesnt matter with perfume i think any age could wear this. It is quite sensual when it settles. I am wearing it tonight to work christmas dinner and i love it and feel very comfortable in it like a second skin but i also really like her nude perfume do i guess the tropical vanilla is what i prefer personally.I will use all of this like i did with riri. It does remind me slightly of princess hippie by vera wang has a similar style i love that one too. I agree with reviewer below when i spay this initially it smells like lovestruck or princess by vera wang if you like those you will like this they are not the same but similar.

This is a very nice scent. citrus, sweet & floral. I dont think you will be disappointed. Its an uplifting, happy scent. If you like this you should try Tempting by Sofia Vergara. While this one is nice, for me Tempting is similar type but blows this one out of the water. Especially if you want that citrus smell. Not knocking this one because I do like it. Just FYI Tempting is one for you guys that were disappointed in this or didn’t get the citrus smell you wanted out of it. Give both a chance to dry down. They both change a lot once on your skin, as in they get better.

This fragrance it’s amazing it’s sweet but not too much , it’s classy and sexy ! I love it one of the the Best Ever celebrity fragrance to me !
qdu494Negeltzex – :
This is a very nice citrus scent. It lasts a long time! On me I got 7+ hours after spraying it on the back of my hand which was impressive since I wash my hands a lot. But the scent is nothing overly special. Not unique but it is very nice. I don’t find it to be sexy or provocative in any way, despite the description. I don’t need to buy it immediately but perhaps if I find for a bargain in the after-Christmas sales I’ll get it.
To be more specific on the scent, it’s very well blended with the main notes being citrus (the bergamot) with a bit of spice and smoothness from the ylang-ylang.
Dogadov65 – :
I’m a bit disappointed. On me it smells a bit like a very watered down version of Princess by Vera Wang. I love Princess it’s sweet but with depth. I just find this a weak meh kind of fragrance. Loved the Reb’l line but haven’t been too excited about the rest.
Zampol939 – :
I actually found a 100mls bottle of this at a pawn shop for 30 dollars, and I thought it was RiRi so I bought it. Wasn’t until I got home that I realized it was crush, I didn’t even know she had a new one coming out. While I was excited to get RiRi, I do like this. Is it something incredible….not really. Is it unique….not so much. It’s your basic celebrity scent. Nice but over rated…
MaXon51 – :
generic and uninspiring fruity floral. I do not even detect any citrus. seriously disappointing.

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

I finally gave this a sample wear and sniff…kinda disappointed..its a clean fresh sweet for 3 mins then turns to a mix of aromas.. “I had one too many drinks after smell from the club and cheap perfume that has dried down and your full of liquor and champagne from your breath…pass..quite stinky.
dez366Bessinepome – :
Seems like a viva la juicy copy note wise. May smell nice but nothing is as good as her first scent !
fbm251Unlogrere – :
RiRi is the best when it comes to fragrances I think. They are always surprising and something else.
I hope this will surprise me in a good way, I am curious to try it!
serega112000 – :
Her last realease “RiRi” was a massive letdown. This seems like it will be no better. Smh.
Arida – :
The name here is just placed to recall attention at the end of an improbable “concept”. The bottle and the notes do not combine at all with the word Crush.
They may think girls and costumers are stupids.
Shame.
