Beyonce Rise Eau de Parfums, 1 Fluid Ounce

Divine smell

One of my favourite scents; however, I was sent a much larger bottle than what I was supposed to receive. Don't get me wrong, I love that I got extra, but I actually bought it for a photoshoot assignment for school and I really needed the smaller version. I appreciate the great service and extra product though!

This was the best gift my granddaughter said she got for her 16th birthday

When I first purchased this fragrance, I disliked it a lot, actually. The smell seemed a bit old-ish for my taste... almost like a "White Diamonds" kind of smell, very granny-ish. But I have grown to like this smell very much. It's now my third favorite of my collection. The smell is musky and sweet and it pairs so nicely with Hareem AL Sultan. It gave a pheromone-like reaction to an ex-suitor. Lol. I made this purchase several times.

Since this was being offered at such a low price, I felt as if I had to try it out even if it ended being something that wasn't for me. I did research the notes online and they include some of my absolute favorites: bergamot, freesia, and jasmine. To me, this is a sophisticated floral with the right amount of woods and musk in the base. Some have considered this spicy because of the basil, but this note makes the scent very fresh smelling, not too sweet or too heavy. Some people have said that this is a mature scent but I disagree. It's just not a sugary-sweet celebrity scent but appropriate for someone of any age group. I can't quite put my finger on it, but this is very reminiscent of 90s perfumes of my childhood. A family member or teacher must have had something very similar. I haven't worn this long enough to comment about the fragrance's sillage or longevity but will update when I have come to a conclusion. Either way, a 1oz bottle is easy enough to carry around to re-apply throughout the day. The rumors are true though. The box looks nice but this is the ugliest perfume bottle I have ever seen. The top is painted plastic piece that resembles crystal shards. I don't understand how Beyonce could have ever approved this design. It looks so much like those consolation trophies they give kids now-a-days but for the price, that doesn't really matter. I keep my fragrances and cosmetics in a dark drawer to keep them from going bad anyway.

I love this perfume and I get asked so many questions about where did I purchase it from. So I’m always giving Amazon a shout out and the price is always perfect
