RiRi announced the launch of Fenty Beauty’s first perfume on her Instagram on Sunday. She shared the news alongside a visual that depicted her among nature. “We’re fucked up most of the time,” she narrates in the visual. “And it’s not because we want to be that way. It’s because we’re dealt the hand — and guess what? We don’t run from it. We deal with it. So you wan’t me to tell you how a woman’s supposed to smell like?” Rihanna declared, “However the fuck they want to feel.”
Available for $120, Fenty Eau de Parfume has notes of magnolia, musk, tangerine, and blueberry with hints of Bulgarian rose absolute, geranium, and patchouli. “What began as a garden walk in the global center of perfume became an unapologetic expression of my full and true essence,” the Fenty description reads. “The experience begins as soon as you lay eyes on the bottle. This reminds me of everywhere I’ve been and represents all that I am.”
The singer said of the debut scent in a press release, per The Cut: “I wanted a rich color that really represented all genders from across all walks of life. Brown is my favorite color. Brown is who I am. Brown is what I come from.” Rihanna continued, “If I’m going to make a fragrance that represents me, even the body language of the bottle needs to marry that. So, I wanted something brown, but also transparent — so you could see the liquid and the fragrance you’re about to experience.”
