Rihanna Kiss is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Kiss opens with Neroli, Freesia, and Plum, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Peony, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Cedar, and Vanilla. Rihanna's Kiss carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive. Some found this fruity-floral a generic, weak disappointment, others a warm, sexy white floral with a surprising Alien-like vibe. It's a celebrity scent, so manage your expectations.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for close encounters like dates or casual wear, while the clean floral aspect could work for the office. However, it's not potent enough for formal events and too warm for sport.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Kiss opens with a bright, clean burst of freesia and neroli, softened by a sweet, slightly tart plum. The heart unfolds into a bouquet of heady gardenia and romantic peony, alongside a creamy orange blossom. The dry-down reveals a comforting, sensual base of cashmere wood and soft musk, with hints of vanilla, cedar, and a touch of ambergris adding a warm, inviting depth.
