I Wore Rihanna's Favorite Perfume for a Week, and My Life Will Never Be the Same

Key Notes: Neroli, orange blossom, rose, marshmallow

This new, limited-edition launch is a more intense version of Rihanna's favorite Kilian scent, calling in stronger notes of rose and orange blossom for a crisper take on the ultra-sweet classic.

Customer Review: "Just Wow! This fragrance is a masterpiece. It develops beautifully throughout its lifespan and lasts 8+ hours on my skin. The rose scent is perfectly done. It made me wish for spring and my garden. This scent was so delicious that I bought a backup right away!"

Key Notes: Jasmine, saffron, cedarwood, ambergris

This is a great starter scent if you want to dip your toe into the sweet scent pond without sacrificing woody notes in the process. It's the perfect middle ground.

Customer Review: "By far the best fragrance I have ever purchased. The first time I had the pleasure [of] smelling it was in a sample pack. Outside of getting compliments, I could not stop smelling myself. The price becomes irrelevant after you have the fragrance touch your body. Definitely worth the purchase!"

Key Notes: Mandarin oil, orange, jasmine accord, caramel

This indulgent scent is sweet without veering into the cloying territory. Plus, how pretty is that bottle?

Customer Review: "Bonbon wraps you in a cashmere blanket of sweet caramel sugar, creamy peach, and fragrant amber. It's bold and beautiful. It envelops all who smell it in its luxury. It's a sugary delight with staying power. I feel like I'm in a candy-floss cloud when I spray this. There's nothing 'dark' about Bonbon. It's all sugar, unicorns, rainbows, and cupcakes. A gourmand lovers delight for sure. I also really like the bottle design looks great on the fragrance shelf. A must-own for people who like sweet fragrances."

Key Notes: Musk, vanilla, almond, star anise, bergamot, orange

Reviewers of this unisex scent liken it to the smell of a root beer float. Intriguing!

Customer Review: "Mandorlo di Sicilia translates to Almond Tree of Sicily. Its smooth, luxurious aroma lingers on the skin and beckons everyone to ask what you are wearing. The soft vanilla, cedarwood, and white musk clings close to the skin and has a calming, soothing effect. Layer it with the Body Lotion, and you're set for the day. I love wearing this for all seasons. It is a unisex fragrance, and trust me...you will love it, and so will everyone who comes in contact with you."

Key Notes: Pear, lychee, grapefruit, rosa Damascena, incense, vetiver, vanilla, musk, evernyl

This slightly sweeter version of Parfums de Marly's original Delina really hits. You may need to remind yourself that this one isn't edible. It's at once herbal, spicy, and sweet.

Customer Review: "This smells like whipped cream and sliced strawberries. I know strawberry isn’t a note, but that’s the vibe I get from the tart note here. Normally I don’t like rose fragrances, but the rose scent is buried so far beneath the sugary note that you wont be bothered by it, if you usually are. It smells very expensive. A huuuge compliment getter."

Key Notes: Caramel, musk, vanilla, benzoin

The name says it all. This one straight-up smells like candy.

Customer Review: "Candy by Prada is a deliciously sweet fragrance reminiscent of the scent of cotton candy. It's subtle enough to be enjoyed and lingers on clothing, apparent long after the first spritz! An excellent choice for anyone who enjoys sweet over floral. We do!"

Key Notes: Iris, patchouli, vanilla

This scent brings in powdery, floral elegance combined with earthy, musky, and sweet aromas for a full-bodied experience.

Customer Review: "This has been my absolute favorite signature scent for years. I get so many compliments with it. I have tried changing my scent by trying different other perfumes, but I keep coming back to this one. It's a very long-lasting, strong, feminine, and addictive scent without being too overpowering."

Key Notes: Tobacco, plum, peach, amber

If you could imagine a perfect balance of warmth, milkiness, and smoke, this would be it. It marries a complex blend of juicy fruit scents together with tobacco for a true amber experience.

Customer Review: "Tobacolor is such a beautiful and refined fragrance! I love to wear it during the colder months of the year, but I often crave it, so I wear it year-round. It is definitely unisex, in my opinion. The notes in this fragrance are refined and of excellent quality. I couldn't be happier with my purchase! I will definitely repurchase it, as this is a staple in my perfume wardrobe!"

Key Notes: Coffee, white flowers, vanilla

This fragrance is warm, spicy, and intense. It's the kind of scent that enters the room before you do.

Customer Review: "YSL Black Opium is totally different from anything I have or have experienced. The vanilla, coffee, and flower blend is exotic, sophisticated, floral, and absolutely delicious. Dries down as a rich deep aromatic floral with several notes. The closest scent I have is Trish, another exotic blend with tonka beans. Love both."

Key Notes: Tobacco leaf, spices, tobacco flower, vanilla, cocoa, dry fruit accord, wood sap

Spray this one in the morning, and it will remain on the skin well into nighttime. It's creamy, fruity, and woody all at once without being confusing.

Customer Review: "This scent is my new bae - I'm a woman, and this is the best vanilla scent I've ever smelled. Not overly sweet or birthday cake-ish, it's a nice dry vanilla with a smoky tobacco overtone. As other reviewers have mentioned, a little goes a long way, and I could still smell it on my wrists after a 12 hour day. Well worth every penny I paid for it. I will buy again and again."

Key Notes: Tuberose absolute, India Orpur, Szechuan peppercorn, suede accord

Soft and musky, this floral fragrance evokes a walk through a lush garden bursting with white flowers.

Customer Review: "A fragrance that makes you feel luxurious and is very unique. I will admit I wasn't sure of it as first as I found it a bit potent smelling the first few times I applied it, but it has grown on me, and now it has become one of my signature scents. It is definitely on the floral/sweet side than anything, but it has something that also gives it a sexy edge that makes me feel like a woman." 

Key Notes: Salted caramel, pistachio, vanilla, sandalwood, almond

It smells like a vacation.

Customer Review: "I always like to read reviews prior to purchasing any fragrances. I personally never smelled the formula before, but I absolutely LOVE the current one so much, so I ended up purchasing. Such a warm vanilla scent with sweet pistachio tones. A great everyday scent."

Key Notes: Ginger, green tea, marshmallow

If you're worried Love, Don't Be Shy might be too sweet for your liking, here's a similar (but spicier) option to try.

Customer review: "I had this perfume before it was reformulated, loved it and wore it all the time. I was hesitant to purchase the new formulation for a while because of some negative reviews...I am so glad I gave it a chance. To me, it smells just as good as the original. Staying power could be better, but I absolutely love how this scent dances on my skin. You smell so yummy with this on!"

Key Notes: Vanilla orchids, tonka absolute, amber woods, musk, amber, patchouli, brown sugar

This quintessential vanilla perfume is pure and sweet without being sickly.

Customer Review: "I am absolutely obsessed with this perfume. I got it as a sample, and after using it once, I had to buy the full size. It is the perfect vanilla scent, not too sweet. I find it's less strong by the end of the day, [but] you can definitely still smell it! I want to wear it every day; it's so good."

Key Notes: Pear, orris, marshmallow

The name of this one might be slightly deceiving in that it might lead you to expect an overly sugary scent. In reality, sparkling fruits jump out first, and the sweetness is really in the finish.

Customer Review: "This fragrance is to die for! I am a very, very big fan of Ellis Brooklyn fragrances, and this one did not disappoint. It is definitely a more sweet and sugary scent. It's not too overpowering but still stays nicely on the skin. It's worth smelling it in-store or trying the mini they have available."

Key Notes: Grapefruit, Italian lemon, lime blossom, lychee, mango flower, freesia, sandalwood, tonka bean, amber

There's nothing better than a mix of sweet and citrus.

Customer Review: "Sugar Lychee has been my 'go-to' fragrance for several years. It is light, a little spicy and sweet, with a touch of citrus. It stays interesting all day at work without that old fruit smell that some citrus fragrances can change into. I still receive compliments on it, even after all these years. Hope Fresh continues to make this one!"

Key Notes: Mandarin, magnolia accord, neroli, frangipani flower accord, coconut essence, ylang-ylang, vanilla absolute, almond silk accord, sandalwood accord

A spritz of this sweet and floral fragrance will transport you to the Sicilian gardens that inspired its conception.

Customer Review: "I'm obsessed with this line of Dolce perfumes! I got this and the rose. I've never been able to find a perfume that fits me till I found these. It has a very floral scent at first, almost like an after-scent of coconut. Very light, but it lasts for hours. A little bit on the wrist and neck, and I can still smell it at the end of the day!"

Key Notes: Orange, patchouli, Turkish rose

If Chanel No. 5 is too overpowering for your taste, this warm, floral mist is a great alternative. It's definitely sweet but takes on a more cologne-like identity on the skin.

Customer Review: "The aroma of Coco Mademoiselle makes you fall in love from the moment you open it. It gives a sensation of freedom and independence. It is a really exquisite aroma. I would say that it is a captivating aroma. I think it is one of those perfumes that everyone likes."

Key Notes: Almond milk, coconut, cashmeran, vanilla

This one is almost bitter to start, but it soon gives way to a creamy, smooth, and sweet scent that melts so beautifully on the skin and wears close to the body.

Customer Review: "Unexpectedly love this as a wearable scent! I was expecting something not super wearable but nonetheless artistic and interesting, but this is a symphony of opposites that somehow work. Powdery yet with sharp metallic notes with sweet, nutty undertones. Very pleasantly surprised. Performance and sillage both very decent!"
