Rihanna gets turned on by a man's smell.

The 'You Da One' singer - who was recently linked to Ashton Kutcher and ex-boyfriend Chris Brown - says if a guy smells good she is more likely to give them a chance than if they just look good.

She told 'Access Hollywood': "I like a guy who smells good. If you look good, chances are you won't turn my head. But if you smell good, I will whip my neck around!

"A guy can't leave until I figure out what scent he's wearing. I want dudes to smell like when you wake up - you know that smell."

Last month, the 23-year-old R&B beauty went on her "first date in almost two years".

The 'S&M' hitmaker announced on her twitter page that she was heading out for a fun evening and was snapped at the Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica, California.

She then revealed her 'date' was with her close friend Melissa Forde and after the pair left the eatery they then headed to the famous Roxbury nightclub in Hollywood.

In a series of tweets, Rihanna wrote: "I'm on my first date in almost 2 yearz. #datenight my lover for the night @mforde11.

"So Melissa's only f**kin wit me til 4/20 ... 2night is gon' be a good one, I could feel it! #1LOVE #420 #MARLEY (sic)"
