It smells sweet with a touch of talcum powder; it’s soft and wearable, but lacks much personality. The scent doesn’t overwhelm me, nor do I dislike it—it just didn’t surprise me at all. I think it’s a good option for gifting.

A rich, sweet aroma without being cloying. For its price, it’s not bad. It’s a very common scent, nothing to highlight. Interestingly, the top, heart, and base notes are identical; the opening smell is the same throughout the fragrance’s duration. I don’t love it, but I also don’t dislike it.
Sara Yong
Sweet, fruity, with moderate sillage and longevity… but it didn’t make me fall in love.
Jannelsa
On my skin, it comes out fruity, like all those fruits together without any one standing out. Then it shifts a bit, keeping the sweetness while introducing flowers, but it remains sweet the whole time. Gentlemen compliment it on me often. After 3-4 hours, it sticks to the skin; it lasts about 8 hours (I apply quite a bit) and projects for 2-3 hours. It lasts even longer on clothes.

Love at first sniff—I adored it. It’s exactly what I expected: sweet but not invasive, super feminine, and smells expensive and sophisticated. Definitely one of my favorites; a resounding success by Rihanna. I recommend it; it’s ideal for any time of day, a perfectly chosen fragrance.
Gisselle27
A quite pleasant and versatile little perfume. It can be worn on any occasion. The sillage and longevity are moderate. It’s worth it, but nothing extraordinary.
LeidyBed
It’s soft, flirty, and seductive. It can be worn in the morning or for intimate encounters without necessarily being a date, since it doesn’t have great projection. The notes are well combined, everything in its place. I recommend it for use at home and in the mornings; it’s an insipid fragrance easy to overpower.
Estrella Turquesa
It’s a fairly common aroma; I’ve heard it in several perfumes, similar to Diesel’s LoveDose or Katy Perry’s Killer Queen. It has a fresh, fruity opening, but immediately becomes quite sweet. If you like caramel or gourmand scents, it’s ideal. If you think sweet scents get cloying quickly and are looking for something more wearable, be careful, because it is quite sweet.

I just bought it, and it’s rich, cheerful, and fresh; I’d say casual, perfect for girls aged 20 to 30. It’s perfect for leaving a lovely impression with a unique scent; it’s not as popular as other brands, which is great if you want to be remembered by your aroma. It’s a lovely touch anyone would appreciate.
Chechu
I took advantage to buy this fragrance because it was on sale along with Le Beau Fleur, but this one received more positive feedback. Honestly, it’s very rich and pleasant, with a tiny sweet touch that isn’t too heavy. It’s ideal for everyday wear, though its longevity is no more than 4 hours. That said, it stays quite impregnated on clothes.

I took advantage of buying this fragrance because it was on sale along with Reb’l Fleur, but this one had more positives. The truth is, it’s very rich and pleasant, with a little sweet touch that isn’t too heavy. It’s ideal for everyday wear and its longevity isn’t more than 4 hours. That said, it stays quite well on clothes.

Bought it blind and what a beautiful surprise. Nude is a gorgeous perfume, one that doesn’t bother anyone, a rich sweetness that feels more expensive than it actually is. The blend of white flowers, vanilla, and mandarin has me hooked. I can’t stop rubbing my nose against my wrist because I love it so much. I haven’t figured out its longevity yet since I only put it on an hour ago, but for the price, I shouldn’t expect much. I adore its simplicity, presence, and delicacy. Definitely buying it again 💕

I bought it blind (as I usually do lately) and wow, what a lovely surprise. Nude is a charming perfume, one of those that doesn’t bother anyone, a rich little sweetness; you apply it and it seems more expensive than it is. The blend of white flowers, vanilla, and tangerine citrus has me hooked. My nose is stuck to my wrist because I really loved it. I can’t comment on its longevity or trail yet because I’ve been wearing it for an hour, but given its price, I probably shouldn’t wait long. I love its simplicity, presence, delicacy, and sensuality. I’m sure I’ll buy it again 💕

Pleasant fragrance!
pathypooh
Very rich scent. You can definitely taste the pear, guava, and vanilla orchid. It’s not elegant, but it’s perfect for everyday wear. For me, it’s more of a spring and autumn scent than a summer one. I was really surprised, honestly. Overall, celebrity perfumes are good quality, and this is no exception
Perfumistica
It’s a lovely scent, I perceive it as floral and a bit pear-like. But to my taste, it’s very soft, one of those fragrances almost imperceptible to others, which I only enjoy if I smell my own wrist.

Doménica
I bought it blind to see what it was like (I’m used to doing that). It’s a fragrance that immediately felt familiar to me, and then I realized it reminds me a lot of Addicted by Cy Zone. Does anyone else think so? It’s rich regardless, but yes, it does remind me of that perfume.

Great smell, I mostly wear it at night
Armendariz078
I’m not sure if it’s my imagination, but this perfume smells like Gudu popsicles. I love it!!
Ann3
Definitely a unique and special scent, between sweet and floral, nothing strong or cloying. I really like the color. Very feminine and can be worn both night and day,
Zeke
I gifted it to my mom for Mother’s Day and the scent is very sexy yet reserved, like a mix of angel and devil, hehe, but honestly it’s very original, a scent nothing common and above all a delight. After gifting it to my mom, I thought I should have given it to my girlfriend hehe, but I still have a chance. There are others, hehe. 100% recommended 😀
aleeromanm
Smells similar to Reb’l but it’s not the same; the scent isn’t as rich or sweet, it’s more floral with a citrus twist. In the end, I still prefer Reb’l, which is the best♡
azuriiita
It’s a pleasant fragrance but a bit weak for me, especially the sandalwood, which is ironically a key note along with musk and orange blossom. It’s soft, nothing intrusive, floral with a sweet and fruity spark. To repeat, it smells good… but it didn’t excite me. The bottle is very plain. Among Rihanna’s three similar bottles (Reb’l Fleur, Rebelle, Nude, and 777 Nude), my favorite remains Reb’l Fleur. With such a bold image, this ‘naked’ fragrance feels very innocent and soft, as if all makeup has been removed. I think it’s ideal from spring to autumn, for day or for sleeping 🙂

It has a fruity touch and a bit of sweetness. It’s soft, someone showed it to me a few days ago and I really liked it. Now I’m waiting to save up to buy it because here it’s not as ‘affordable’ as in other places. It smells softer than Reb’l Fleur. So far, I’ve only detected the pear, orchid with vanilla, gardenia, and musk. Out of Rihanna’s perfumes I’ve tried, this is the one I like the most. As they rightly say, it’s ‘floral-fruity’.

I bought it and as soon as I got home, I tried to imagine what it smelled like based on its notes, and it was nothing like what I thought; it’s much more than that, it’s an impressive scent in my opinion. It has aromas that, as the title says, ‘undress’ you when you wear it, because you expose yourself to others and that scent is like the one of shyness and the simple situation of nakedness
