- Pros: Great for layering; sturdy and refillable case; glides on easily
- Cons: Expensive; needs a heavy application to get a stronger scent
Our review: This is the type of perfume that makes me feel like a sophisticated, chic French girl in Paris. It smells clean—not laundry-product clean, but subtle, powdery clean—with gentle musky notes. It’s a great skin scent because it’s not overpowering, but you do really have to rub on a lot to get a decent scent.
Fragrance notes: Iris, magnolia, musk, and ambrette | Size: 0.11 oz.

- Pros: Unique weighted case design; feels hydrating; alcohol-free
- Cons: Sells out fast; pricey
Our review: If you love Rihanna’s Fenty Eau de Parfum but want a softer take, the balm version is for you. The floral musk is warm and leans more to citrus in the solid version. While some describe it as a winter scent, you can wrap yourself in its cozy vibe all year round. Personally, it’s become my latest obsession. It’s sophisticated and long-lasting, and it brings me joy whenever I smell my wrists. It also comes in a gorgeous metal case with the signature Fenty logo, making it a perfect beauty gift.
Fragrance notes: Magnolia, musk, tangerine, and Bulgarian rose | Size: 0.11 oz.
