Which Should You Buy?
SJP NYC is a vibrant, divisive celebrity scent; some adore its jammy strawberry-booze cocktail, others recoil from what they perceive as artificial sweetness and a lack of sophistication. It's a proper love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, so try before you buy.
RiRi by Rihanna is a divisive tropical cocktail - some adore its sweet, boozy, fruity charm as a compliment-getter, while others find it too generic, cloying, or fleeting. It's a celebrity scent that aims for fun, but might leave some wanting more depth or longevity.

Occasions
Its sweet and fruity nature, combined with a boozy rum accord, makes it ideal for casual and date settings, especially in warmer weather.
