Fenty Eau de Parfum

Fenty Eau de Parfum – the first luxury fragrance from Rihanna and Fenty Beauty – launched for a limited time at Harvey Nichols Hong Kong, Beauty Bazaar and Beauty Avenue. This marks the product’s first in-store retail experience after launching exclusively on FentyBeauty.com. After selling out twice within hours of each restock, Fenty Eau de Parfum returned as a core fixture in the Fenty Beauty collection in Fall 2022 and now will continue to be available both on the brand’s website and Harvey Nichols Hong Kong, Beauty Bazaar and Beauty Avenue.

“Fragrance is so personal – it represents something different and smells unique for each person,” says Rihanna. “I’m excited to bring the Fenty Eau de Parfum experience in-store so that people can discover it in a new way.”

The scent is inspired by distinct memories and places that Rihanna cherishes throughout her life – Bridgetown, Barbados; Grasse, France; New York, New York; Paris, France; Los Angeles, California. “That’s the thing I love the most: it’s an experience, it’s a memory, encapsulated into a fragrance. Once you smell it, you’ll never forget it,” she said.
