The Fenty Eau De Parfum that dropped on August 10 had many people excited to finally smell like Rihanna, especially after all the buzz surrounding her sexy aroma. Don’t believe us? Check out this compilation that the singer-turned-mogul posted on her Instagram that proves our point.

Thanks to TikTok and other social media outlets, people who weren’t able to get their hands on the coveted release were able to get details from videos posted by influencers that showed their initial reactions when unpacking the fragrance, along with their honest opinions. Surprisingly, it was met with mixed reviews. 

While many people stated that the scent was just what they expected the 33-year-old star to smell like, others were shocked that the fragrance wasn’t more rebellious and “head-turning.”

Below, see what TikTokers had to say about the scent. 

Blackgirlssmellgood says, “It’s a beautiful scent, but not what I was expecting from Rihanna. I give it a seven out of ten.”

Funmimonet says, “It was a very safe release for Rihanna because it is a great fragrance that you can wear every single day. It’s not a fragrance that’s going to turn heads, though. I give it a seven out of ten.”
