Rihanna Nude is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Nude opens with Mandarin, Pear, and Guava, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Orchid. Rihanna's Nude carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A youthful, sweet, and intimate fruity-floral that's unfortunately plagued by a patchy performance. It hits all the right notes for a casual, inoffensive scent, but don’t expect it to stick around for the after-party.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its intimate sillage and frequently noted short longevity make it perfect for the office or casual wear where subtlety is key. It's too light for formal events and can be a good 'in the gym' choice if you don’t mind frequent reapplication.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Nude opens with a burst of juicy guava and sweet pear, brightened by mandarin. This vivacious start quickly mellows into a creamy heart of jasmine, gardenia, and orange blossom, soft and inviting. The drydown leaves a gentle trail of warm sandalwood, vanilla orchid, and clean musk, creating a 'your skin but better' aroma.
