From Rihanna, Reb'l Fleur Love Always is a 2018 chypre fruity EDP by perfumers Caroline Sabas and Marypierre Julien — a richer, deeper, and more intensified reimagining of the original 2011 Reb'l Fleur, built around a plum-red berries-peach opening, a coconut-tuberose-hibiscus-violet heart, and a vanilla-patchouli-amber-musk base that reviewers describe as a boozy, tropical, tuberose-coconut oriental that smells significantly more expensive than its accessible price and delivers the power, sex appeal, and Barbadian warmth that defined Rihanna's original celebrity fragrance vision. Plum, red berries, and peach open with a dark, lush, multi-fruit tropical richness — the plum delivering a deep, slightly jammy, dark fruitiness that gives the opening its most immediately seductive and distinctive quality, the red berries threading in a bold, slightly tart fruitiness that gives the composition its most vibrant energy, and the peach contributing a warm, velvety softness that rounds the darker fruit notes and gives the opening an approachable, sun-warmed quality.

Saffron and citrus open with a warm, lightly tart, exotic spiced freshness — the saffron delivering an immediate, slightly honeyed, metallic-warm spiciness that grounds the composition in classic Arabian oud territory from the very first spray, and the citrus threading in a bright, slightly tart freshness that lifts the dense saffron opening and gives the composition an accessible, inviting energy before yielding to the richer, darker character of the heart. Rose and patchouli carry the heart into a warm, earthy, lightly floral depth — the rose delivering a slightly dark, velvety floralness that gives the heart its most feminine and approachable quality, and the patchouli threading in a rich, slightly earthy, resinous warmth that deepens the composition and builds the bridge into the oud-rich base. Cedar, agarwood, and sandalwood close with a warm, smoky, deeply resinous oud warmth. 6–8 hours with moderate-to-strong projection.

Soursop, nashi pear, and red apple open with a bold, exotic, multi-tropical fruitiness — the soursop delivering a uniquely creamy, slightly tart, custard-like tropical quality that reviewers consistently identify as the composition's most distinctive and memorable quality and the note that immediately separates Lost in Paradise from every other celebrity fruity floral on the market, the nashi pear threading in a crisp, clean, slightly sweet Asian pear freshness, and the red apple contributing a juicy, slightly tart crispness that gives the opening a vibrant, multi-layered energy.

From Dana, Tabu is the 1932 oriental cologne by perfumer Jean Carles — one of the most legendary, provocative, and historically significant fragrances ever created, famously composed to the brief of making a scent for a woman of the night and delivering instead a bold, deeply sensual oriental that became the direct ancestor of Youth Dew, Opium, and Obsession, built around an Italian bergamot-lemon opening, a Bulgarian rose-ylang ylang-jasmine heart, and a patchouli-oakmoss-benzoin-amber-musk base that reviewers describe as root beer, incense, and dark florals rolled into something that makes absolutely no apologies for what it is. Italian bergamot and lemon oil open with a sharp, slightly tart citrus brightness — the bergamot delivering a clean, bracing clarity and the lemon threading in a warm, slightly sweet oil quality that gives the opening a polished, slightly old-world character before the composition's darker, spicier heart begins its slow, deliberate reveal. Bulgarian rose, ylang ylang, and jasmine absolute carry the heart into a lush, heady, slightly animalic floral fullness — the rose delivering a warm, velvety floralness, the ylang ylang threading in a tropical, slightly rubbery sweetness, and the jasmine contributing a rich, indolic depth that gives the heart its most provocative and celebrated quality. Patchouli, oakmoss, benzoin, amber, and musk close with a dark, earthy, resinous warmth. 7–9 hours with moderate-to-strong projection.

Bergamot, pear, and blackberry open with a bright, lightly fruity freshness — bergamot delivering a clean, sparkling citrus clarity that nods to the Tommy Girl DNA, pear threading in a soft, juicy sweetness that is the opening's most prominent and peachy-forward quality, and blackberry adding a dark, slightly tart berry depth that gives the top notes a more modern, richer character than the original's citrus-and-blossom opening.
