“My new scent is about taking power while still being a lady,” Rihanna remarked. It conjures up images of Caribbean sunsets and languid days in a tropical paradise with your partner, all while unleashing femininity that seduces everyone in its path. I really don't feel the sweetness is synthetic, it has a natural sweetness to it which comes from the Chocolate and coffee combo.Rebelle, Rihanna perfume, is a beautiful Gourmand Chypre that smells nearly edible. People have described this scent as 'synthetically sweet'. The patchouli, thankfully, was only there to make the perfume last longer in my opinion, you can't really detect it, you know its there because the dry down comes across as pretty fresh, but its not overpowering. The cocoa and the coffee are always evident in the fragrance, beginning to end.
This perfume is VERY strong, it has amazing lasting power and silage. This fragrance intrigued me, because the top notes of the Strawberry, ginger and plum were completely undetectable! The two notes, to me, that come out a lot is the Cacoa absolute and the Coffee! It has a very strong 'mocha' smell to me, almost like a Starbucks shop. But this concern was blown away when I smelled it. But when I had seen this next fragrance had patchouli in it, I was a bit of set. Okay, I hated Reb'l fleur, I thought it was too 'heady' because of the patchouli. (I know because I tried Reb'l Fleur line in the store, the scents are much better than the horrible bottle!) The small 30 ml bottle is already not easy to grasp and handle and you definitely need both hands to use the big ugly bottle. The worst part is the actual bottle which is not only hideous and tacky to look at, but also absolutely inconvenient to use. Like I said - it is fun indeed and it has that coffee scent that I like. I wouldn't have bought it had I tried it before, but I didn't regret this cheap thrill either. It's sweet, it's cozy, it's fun, it's very layerable. I used most of my bottle by playing with layering combos, spraying it over my mask to sanitize it/making it more fun (it's one of my 2020s fun scents), wearing it around the house, running errands or before sleep. The combo with Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT is especially great, as combined with this soft, dreamy, lovely and calm(ing) scent Rebelle softens, feels less sugary-sweet and the beautiful bittersweet coffee-cacao accords just shine over soft woody musk. It layers particularly well over Narciso Rodriguez scents and Azzedine Alaia's Alaia. It's a little bit too sweet for me on its own but I really like to layer it over woody, musky and less sweet scents.
I'm a sucker for coffee scents and I just had to try it out so I blind bought a small bottle just out of curiosity. It's a celebrity fragrance and of course it's a sweet gourmand, but it is different, as it has some really bitter coffee and cacao among the fruity notes - it's sugary, it's fruity (I'm getting strawberry and some general sweet fruitiness) and yet it's deep and balanced by a rather bitter coffee/cacao/patchouli scent. This won't be the most sophisticated nor classiest scent you have smelled - but it is definitely fun.
