FENTY FRAGRANCE! 1ST IMPRESSION & HONEST REVIEW! OVERHYPED? | POCKETSANDBOWS 

When I tried this at Sephora, it got better and better. I could smell hints of it the next day, even after showering. I left the tester papers in my coat pockets and it’s amazing every time I wear that coat. I like that it could be summery - like an exotic Caribbean smell - or a warm, winter scent. My husband liked it on me. Now, it’s completely sold out here in Canada! 😭😭😭

I was not impressed at first... but a gentleman in Sephora told me that I smelled DIVINE. I saw a Tik Tok where someone suggested layering it on top of the Fenty Body Butter.

I have had the scent for about 1 month and each time I wear it I grow fonder of the scent. One thing I have noticed is the wear on this is very long lasting which is something I appreciate. I don't see any similarities to Love don't be shy. I love the uniqueness of the scent. I have gotten so many compliments when I wear this. Rihanna has a reputation for smelling really good and I think that is why people were eager to get their hands on the scents in hopes to smell like her.

The dry down is what saves this one for me! The blueberry that comes through in the end is so nice! The beginning was a lot for me but I love it now!

I purchased this fragrance when she first launch it in 2021 and I love it!!! The dry down is so good and it is long lasting.

I love this fragrance! It lasts and lasts and it's nothing like anything in my collection. I'm usually a woody girl but this is sweet and amber-y.. and that blueberry note is just chef's kiss.

I love this fragrance. I blind bought it before I watched any reviews and I’m glad I did! I believe people thought it was going to be a take on Love Don’t Be Shy.

I get so many compliments when wearing this fragrance. I love it

Been having this one for 2 years and I love it! It most def takes a while to get used to because it’s very unique. IMO, it’s been said that she loves DON’T BE SHY and this is evident of that.

as a man who loves Rihanna and fragrance I was very interested in this perfume. then I became available at Sephora and I was able to try it. the first time I def got the Vicks vapor rub/medicinal quality, I think its the geranium. the second time not so much so I purchased it. I love it. I dont find it too feminine on my skin and the juice is powerful. two sprays and ill smell it the next day. even longer on clothes. I smell a warm blueberry and tangerine, rich rose and patchouli mostly but done very modern. doesn't smell like nana's knickers. it def has many facets and can smell different at different times. sometimes I swear theres coconut or vanilla. I 10/10 recommend.

It’s a beautiful perfume u have to have confidence to rock fenty because it’s different ❤❤❤it’s fire.

I smelled it for the first time today. At first I didn’t like it and then I sprayed it again and I’m absolutely blown away. I love it.

I bought it when it came out and I didn’t love it but it definitely grew on me so much and now I love it. It smells like sweet marshmallows to me and berries. It lasts a long time so I spray lightly.

I’ve had this for a while and love it on its own and to wear it under sweeter fragrances. I like to wear it when it’s hot out.

I’m late 😩 but I love this perfume especially layered with MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold. It lasts so long!!!

I’ve been waiting for a real and honest review on this! Thank you!

It smells good at first I didn’t like it but I let it sit and my goodness it smells amazing

I love this fragrance! I tried it yesterday at Sephora and it almost exactly like KKW fragrance crystal gardenia oud scent. It’s beautiful unique sensual mysterious scent it’s perfect and it lasts. I have found a dupe to kkw gardenia oud thanks to riri.

At first it had a very earthy dirt smell to me but after the second time of using it it smells decent. I add a sprinkle of vanilla with it and after that it’s AMAZING

Thank you for this review Brittany! I ordered and received this fragrance this week and I really like it. My friend wore it and got so many compliments that I just had to try it out.

Thanks for sharing and blessings to you and all in the days to come. If I buy fragrance this is usually the time to buy it because I love getting free gifts with purchase. Hopefully you are finding joy during this holiday season and looking forward to the new year.

This color is bomb on you ❤ thanks for your honesty on your reviews greatly appreciated

Thank you so much for this review. I’ve been on the fence about this for a while. In all the reviews people either love it or hate it but no one really describes what it smells like. I may get it but I’m not running out to get it right this moment. Hope you enjoy it.

Ok so, I just grabbed a box yesterday. I was in Sephora, happened to be in the Fenty aisle when an associate offered to help me. I said, wow, the tester STILL isn’t available. She said, i have one behind the counter but we are sold out. I asked her to spray it on my skin. It was more of a citrus scent on my skin. It was ‘ok’. But DEFINITELY not bad. It changed throughout the day and I really really like it. (Oh, and she came back and she found a box. I got the last one)

I absolutely love it!!! Thank you Brittany for your review. Love your honesty ❤️

When I first sprayed I went ewww then on the way home I couldn’t stop smelling myself. It’s so unique I went back today and got a full bottle. It’s delicious

I love the way this perfume smells

Ive just discovered your channel. Your makeup looks amazing

I've had this for a while and love it. Your review was spot on!

It does smells like nirvana rose . It also smells like Gucci Guilty Absolute Pour femme. I like it

One of my new faves! Love it❤

You look beautiful just beautiful. Love the makeup love the blunt cut. The pink sweater stunning on your complexion snaps in a circle girl yes ❤

When I received this as a gift, I almost was scared of it but the dry down was AMAZING. I wanted to eat my arm up and received so many compliments when I wore it out. I really don’t understand all the slander… “not that good”…. haters! LOL I’m making a serious dent in it, and it’s making me anxious! Any similar fragrances slightly cheaper for more casual nights out?

My first ever time watching her and I already love her. Such a brilliant intro

The “people” for the most part do not know how to test smell samples… the Vix rub comment and many others like it are people immediately spraying to a piece of paper and inhaling the initial alchohol smell before any notes can even come through… the perfume is nice, I personally think it is a bit unique and I’d consider a tamed love don’t be shy

Listen, this perfume is not for a child. This perfume isn't even for just every adult. If you like libre from YSL you most likely would love this too. This perfume gives rich aunty. It's a thick perfume. A little goes a long way. And I agree with another comment if worn right it last forever. Certainly last forever on fabric. When I first sprayed it I had on my coat and my watch on. Weeks passed by wore the same coat and watch and both still had the scent as if I just sprayed it. I love it.

OMG...I WAS WAITING ON A REAL REVIEW. THANK YOU😍

Call me crazy but I like it!! It’s not harsh it’s definitely softer few minutes after having been sprayed.

I love it! But this mixed with Idôle by Lancôme is everything 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽!!

Thanks for your honest review, Brittany!

I like it. I get endless compliments when I wear it

I loved that you included a wear test!! 🥂🎉

This review was noteworthy to me. I'm curious, but haven't purchased yet. My Sephora doesn't have the fragrance in store yet either. When it becomes available I'll give it a chance.

Yup I agree it smells exactly like Nirvana Rose and also Bond 9 New York Oud. I own both the Nirvana Rose and Bond 9 and when I first laid my nose on the Fenty (I’m a Sephora employee lol) I was like I can pass on this, but they gave it to us in gratis so I’ll keep it 😂 Also it’s only available on Sephora online but next year only a few selected stores will actually have it in store for purchase.

Thanks Brittany for the review.

I got the samples a couple years ago and hated it. Randomly pulled it out again last year and ended up buying the full size. I love it and love layering it.

I love Rihanna and it broke my heart that I didn’t like it. I tried and returned it. I did like Love…don’t be shy. Even though it’s a little sweet smelling. But the Fenty was a no.

Hey Brittany girl!❤ Thank you for the review

Thanks for the review...and that bob is bobbing...you look great.

OMG YES! Whoever said it smells like Vicks vapor rub is spot on for me. That’s exactly what I smelt when I tried it in store. Lol! So happy you did this review. When I tried it on in store I was like I would love to hear her thoughts! 😂💗

I ppurchased when it first dropped and I like it but i dont wear it often. When I do wear it, I mix it with Nude by Rihanna.

It smells like blueberry rose jam (the food and JAM hair gel lol) to me. Getting a sample is impossible, but luckily my cousin bought herself a bottle so I was able to find out for myself. It’s cool. I don’t really get Thé Noir as a comparison but I guess everyone gets something different. I will say it projects because I could smell her and I was sitting two rows behind…with my mask on.

It also comes in a roll on

That face Brit made when she smelled it on the box! #saysitall

Happiest holiday’s ❤ sweetheart. Thank you for sharing love 💕

I got a sweet rose and citrus and also a little powdery I like it. I picked it up and I’m liking it so far. Thank you for sharing your review. ❤

Thanks for this review, I was curious. So far we tend to enjoy the same scents.

I SMELLED IT YESTERDAY , I SPRAYED WHILE I WAS IN SEPHORA, IT IS STRONG, BUT I LIKE IT. IT HAS AN ODD SCENT BUT I LIKE IT ON MY SKIN. IT LAST A LONG TIME . IT IS DEF CITRISY

I ordered the sample when it dropped! It gave me blueberries and cherry cough syrup lol but I can say that it definitely will LAST!! Now I do have more of the samples left I’ll give it another try one day.

I just tested it at Sephora I love it I met long lasting I’ll be buying it for my deserved treat it’s roses and citrus tangerine I love it

I have her perfume Re'bl fleur and it is amazing! I also really like the Nude one! I don't have Nude yet.

Hi Brittany. Thanks for sharing with us. Have a bless weekend.

Your nose knows😂😂. I love how you are so knowledgeable about the notes ( I believe that’s what you say). It’s almost a science .❤❤❤

So glad I saw the review because I was concerned after reading some of the comments Will go and check out in store Thanks and happy New Year🎉🎉🎉

Magnolia is amazing as a flower smell and in perfumes!

You favor the Make up owner of The Crayon Case Supa Cent and Nicki Minaj a little…. I was looking to check out and purchase some of Fenty’s Fragrances… I cant wait

I've been thinking about getting this so thanks for the review.

This fragrance layers well. I’ve used it with Delina Exclusif.

Brittany thanks for your review

Brit she said actually vanilla is in there also but the magnolia makes it burst

Girl the ppl be tripping 😂.. The girls that get it.. get it! Just like KayAli Sugar Patchouli.. Fenty isn’t groundbreaking but it isn’t bad like the ppl said either

I received it for Christmas! I love it!!

I didn't like it at first. It smells kinda masculine to me at first but it does kinda dry down a lot softer.

1st Yayyy me! Good morning Brittany 🌞🙏🏿

Thank you loved your review and I don't mind this at all

Thanks for the review I wanted to try this fragrance❤

Miss you Britt❤️

I love it, lasts forever and my boyfriend loves it as well. Where is your sweater from? Its so cute!

MAKEUP TUTORIAL PLEASE!!!!!❤❤❤

It's good after the dry down "lovely".

I like your sweater! Have a great week.

I usually like any scent that you recommend . So I will b purchasing

I'm going to try Fenty fragrance. I love the bob.

Maybe I got one from a bad batch because I returned it immediately. I trust your judgement so ima try again.

I absolutely love your content! New sub 💗

I absolutely love it 😍

I would like to hear your views on Guerlain Jasmine Bonheur if you have gotten a chance to smell it? I received a sample with my purchase of Mon Guerlain Intense and at first smell didn’t like it. Wore it to bed twice and fell in love with it.

I wish I liked it. I kept it for an entire week and wore it and just couldn’t get into it. The patchouli smell was really killing it for me. Smelled like Vicks vapo rub mixed with baby powder. Maybe I don’t have a sophisticated enough nose for it? Bc I wanted to like it so bad. Thought maybe it would grow on me. Sadly had to return it 😢

It’s giving Baccarat perfume notes. Even the bottles are similar.

Now I must go try this

Love this review!

Thanks for this video Brittney!! I was hesitating to buy it, even tho I do like one of her past fragrances.. But I just checked your link and the fragrance is no longer available on Sephora 😏

Rihanna's previous perfume lines, manufactured under licensing arrangements with the international beauty brand Parlux, only allowed her partial share to the royalties and profits. So, considering how she is in full creative control and sole owner of the Fenty brand of beauty, skin and apparel, it would only make sense to release a fragrance where you get sole priority of the earnings. The previous scents definitely ranged from confetiously sweet featuring notes like vanilla, to more floral bases, or even the tropical hints of coconut and bergamot. The Rogue and Rogue men was a little bit more earthy, woody, masculine and powdery. So, when she announced the Fenty Parfum, I was excited. As a 33 year old gay male who switches from the celebrity fragrances, feminine scents and masculine scents, I will say that scent was NOT what I was expecting. I saw the notes and read the comments from social media online and thought it would be INTERESTING. I must admit, at first spritz, it was UNATTRACTIVELY light yet had a musky aura that lingered for a few hours. It almost reminded me of Elizabeth Taylor’s White Diamonds. I was fucking SHOCKED how light the scent was. This definitely did NOT smell like ANY of her past fragrances. Fenty Parfum is for an ACQUIRED TASTE. It’s definitely for a mature adult, or someone of a particular age. I would gift this to my GREAT AUNT who’s 92 years old before I would wear this on myself. I was so disappointed that the Sephora associate used an ALCOHOL WIPE to remove it from my wrist and the scent STILL lingered. The only positive side to it is the dry down scent is noticeably tangerine so, I would suggest pairing the fragrance with a citrus based oil or body lotion to open that part of the scent up more.

I checked it out n I like it👍🏿🤩

I tried it. Wasn’t for me. Still love RiRi🥰

I’m just here for this polo sweater miss lol where is it from I love the color!!!

New subscriber and saw you had a review on this. My husband picked this up from Sephora when it showed up in stores for me since I wanted to try it. I only smell spice when I spray it and on my skin and I'm still trying to find a way to wear it. I'm not returning it though.

THANK YOU!!!!

Went to sephora to smell. Smells like old lady perfume. Old lady with the name Mildred and she wears big hats with flowers to church. Wow, it just smells so bad. Can't believe the smell. I sprayed it on myself which I shouldn't have......but as soon as I went home, I had to take off my clothes to get away from the smell. 😢

I wanted to love this perfume sooo bad, but I just couldn’t lol. It smelled okay on the paper, but even worse on the body. 😭😭
