Beyonce believes that all women’s power come from within and when she connects with her very essence, she reveals her inner beauty. I love perfumes because they can change my mood instantly and I feel definitely more confident when I wear a perfume that fits my personality. Strong perfumes are my passion as they are able to resist all day and they can be remarked easier than a delicate fresh scent. Rise claims to be a fresh floral fragrance and although I prefer oriental scents, I do like this perfume released by Beyonce thanks to its intense musk notes. I do believe it is a good signature scent for spring because it is not overpowering and it is suitable for every day use.

The packaging of this perfume is without any doubt elegant and gives the impression of being a luxurious product. The box with the golden notes stores an amazing tall and slim bottle of perfume. The golden cap look like a crown and the overall aspect of the fragrance is in perfect harmony with the name of the perfume and the career of Beyonce which grows constantly. Do pay attention when you manoeuvre the bottle made of glass because it can break easily. Rise by Beyonce is not an expensive perfume and a bottle of 100 ml costs around 40 Euros. I noticed that the majority of perfumes released by celebrities have an average price and they are cheaper than fragrances created by high-end brands.

When it comes to buying a new fragrance, I am always looking to purchase an eau de parfum and not an eau de toilette because the first one does provide a better quality. An eau de perfume is more concentrated and it delivers an intense scent. Fortunately Beyonce Rise is an eau de parfum and it does have a good longevity. It doesn’t last all day, but I can’t expect to provide the same intensity like a perfume that costs even more than 100 Euros. The atomizer spritzes not too much perfume and it can be used effortlessly to apply the fragrance on my pulse points. When I spray it, there is a strong scent of alcohol,but only after few minutes it disappeared and I can feel the true scent of the perfume.

The top notes of juicy apricot and bergamot are less highlighted as this perfume is based around the notes of orchid, the favourite flower of Beyonce. A floral fragrance is not complete without the presence of musky notes. They are the magic that give your perfume its depth and staying power. Rise includes also notes of cashmere and tropical vetiver and they ensure a sophisticated sweet yet warm scent. These woody musky notes are softened by the genious bouquet of orchid, freesia and exotic jasmine. I do appreciate this perfume belonging to Beyonce as it is able to combine successfully floral,fruity and musky notes, without being overwhelming.

This seductive fragrance portrays the image of the superstar Beyonce. The fresh scent has been designed around the concept of female empowerment and it is emblematic for a successful woman. Beyonce created this perfume in order to encourage women to work hard to achieve their goals and she does believe that every woman is strong enough to rise and be remarked. I couldn’t say that this perfume did steal my heart, but I think it is a good option for a casual outfit. It is youthful and is perfect for a young woman who needs extra motivation and confidence. The mix of notes delivers a balanced scent that can be worn not only in the day time, but also for a night out.
