The Daily Mail reported that the British Advertising Standards Authority placed the restriction after receiving a single complaint that the poster was “offensively sexual, demeaning to women and feature images not suitable for children to see.”

It is reported that the  British Advertising Standards Authority made their decision in part on Rihanna’s facial expression, which shows “defiance rather than vulnerability.””

Parlux Fragrances, which produces Rihanna’s perfumes, is reported to have said that they had received any complaints and that the advertisement was to sought to capture and illustrate Rihanna’s “provocative songs and personality.”

British Advertising Standards Authority released a statement reading, “While we did not consider the image to be overtly sexual, we considered that Rihanna’s pose, with her legs raised in the air, was provocative.
