Extras: This is Rihanna’s second fragrance from her RiRi collection. Never having smelled the first one, there’s nothing to compare against. I typically stay away from celebrity drops and stick with brands that focus primarily on aromas, but I can’t deny the sweetness of Crush by Rihanna. It’s hard to point out what scents are similar but imagine walking into a conference room of people that know everyone, except you. They are all chatting about their personal lives, but from the moment you opened the door it went silent. As each person politely smiled to disguise them eyeing you up, you made your way to the only empty seat in the very front row. With every step, your scent lingered turning you from the new girl into the woman everyone wanted to know. It’s pretty, slightly mysterious, and carefree – too mature for a starter scent, but great for one looking to add a bit of youth to their aura.
