After last year's edition Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna, which we have announced exclusively at TFWA 2010, Rihanna in collaboration with Parlux is launching her second fragrance named Rebelle this year.

Rebelle arrives on the market in spring 2012 as a fruity-floral with strong gourmand chords. Top notes encompass plum, strawberry and ginger; a heart offers heliotrope, vanilla orchid and cocoa absolute, while a base features a trail of musk, coffee, patchouli and amber.

The fragrance will be available in a flacon shaped like the last year's edition, created of transparent glass and red and gold surfaces.

Rebelle assortment includes 30, 50 and 100 ml EDP, as well as perfumed body lotion 200ml. Rebelle was created by Marypierre Julien and Caroline Sabas.

Rebelle Fragrance Reviews

I now have this beauty and have to say it is a little sweeter than I remembered, very much like licorice which is ok. In some ways I wish the strawberry note was less noticeable which gives it that licorice scent. But some days all I smell in chocolate. Which is gorgeous!! It definitely lingers and is a sexy fragrance.

this is an adorable scent would like to always have a bottle of this hanging around. It has lots of different smells and is delish. I love it the first smell is a musky caramel vanilla smell and on the dye down the caramel coconut smells is really warm and inviting. It is a yummy smell but not a young girl sweet it has a sophistication about it. Its nice ird say a warmer feeling scent for those winter and Autum days could also pass for the beach

wow cool, this is a sneaky smell...if you are trying it give a few tries, i didn't smell any chocolate or coffee for the first week and then it started changing on my skin. What a nice surprise, i find it powerful, deep, emotional and interesting. Give a little while before you give up, i keep trying it because my smells are always spicy and rich like these notes. I adore scents like this, pachuili and coffee is my fav. Beautiful surprising smell.

This was a blind buy for me--I saw it at CVS in a gift set for 20 bucks, and I figured that since I liked Reb'l Fleur so much, I would probably like this one too.

At first, I HATED it. I suppose that was because it wasn't what I was expecting. Its top notes are very spicy. I was about to give it away.

But then I decided to use the shower gel and lotion that came in the set, which I am SO glad that I did. The shower gel smells so rich and chocolatey on my skin. It kind of made me realize that's what the perfume smelled like, but with the edge taken off the initial whiff I had of it.

This is kind of silly, but after a while, I feel like Rebelle smells a bit like Reeses peanutbutter cups on me. Mmmmm. I am SO glad that I didn't get rid of this fragrance.

Am I the only one who can't smell any coffee or Chocolate for a long time? Everyones chemistry is so different i guess,on me the entire breadth of the scent stays within a pungent sharp patchouli which is fine because i like that smell....and then after like 2 weeks the cocoa and coffee finally emerged. Magic! i hope the creamy coffee and chocolate grows stronger.

Rebelle by Rihanna is quite a daring composition if you think about it. Not many celebrities have dared to put their name to something so polarising.

I first heard of Rebelle through a friend. She told me in great detail how she disliked it because it was too sweet. Through her description, I had imagined Rebelle to be quite candied, sort of like Aquolina's Pink Sugar. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that it smelt strongly of coffee, cocoa and patchouli. It was sweet indeed, but in a very different way.

Thierry Mugler is known for having made coffee and chocolate notes popular in perfume. It's obvious that Rihanna is trying to cash in by creating a similar gourmand blend.

There are times when I thoroughly enjoy wearing Rebelle, but for the most part, I find Rebelle an odd fragrance, to the point of not knowing how to describe it. I'm not a huge fan of the fruity nuances. The plum and juicy strawberry blend just doesn't seem right when blended with the coffee and cocoa.

It's a Winter, night-time fragrance for sure. Rebelle is also on the heavy side of things, so I would go easy on the sprays. I think it's important to like the scent of coffee in order to enjoy Rebelle. I love coffee myself, so this fragrance did appeal to me, however I realise there are some people out there that detest the scent of roasted coffee beans. Proceed with caution, is all I'll say on the matter.

Nice perfume. Very interesting.....slightly decadent. I get a blast of patchouli and cacao then the fruit and coffee notes hit. Not a strong coffee more like a hint of coffee and very warm spicy chocolate. Then dries down to a lovely powdery vanilla/chocolate/patchouli on my skin. I really like it. Strong though so I never over spray. Really want to try Reb'l Fleur now as I love coconut!

My initial impression of this was that it really reminded me of the chocolate note in Yves Rocher's Neonatura Cocoon, only instead of dry, earthy patchouli, this chocolate is supported by a sweet, almost cotton candy-ish vanilla.

Now I'm ready to update that impression with an actual review, since I've had a few weeks to get to know this frag. I don't know what it is with Rihanna's perfumes, but I start off a little unsure ('Do I even like this?'), only to fall deeper and deeper in love with the scent as the days go by. Rebelle was just like Reb'l Fleur in that respect.

When I spray this on, I first get a dry milk chocolate mixed with some almost earthy ground coffee beans. The coffee scent on me is not very dominant, though - it's more like a fuzzy, dark support beam for the chocolate. Next to the coffee is what I think is vanilla (it's sweet and smooth and edible). Sometimes I even think I get a whiff of mint, but that really depends on where and when I spray this on.

All in all, this doesn't really change THAT much once on my skin. It becomes softer and mellower, but that warm cloud of chocolate-y goodness is basically what it is.

I do still think the chocolate note is reminiscent of the one in Neonatura Cocoon, but Rebelle is sweet and warm and basically everything I'd hoped Cocoon would be, whereas that one was dry and earthy and overruled by a version of patchouli that I did not care for.

Really glad I got Rebelle, it will be so lovely for fall and winter! I find myself reaching for it quite often.

Sillage and longevity aren't great on me, but I think that fits with the 'snuggliness' of this fragrance :) I get about 2-4 hours out of this.

I bought a bottle of this today as it was on sale at my chemist .. at first I thought oh yum this is really nice .. then I sprayed on a couple more, ended up buying 3 different perfumes.. then I get to the car and smelled this one again and thought no Im not liking it much now so I took it back and bought something else, now all night long Im smelling this gorgeous scent, the coffee note wore off after 30 mins and left me gringing that I took it back .. Going back to get it as it really is a delicious scent .. huge thumbs up on this one ! It really is unique, I have tons of perfumes and am very fussy with what I buy, this one remimned me too much of another one, but now its settled I just love it !!

This fragrance is really unusual as different notes are detected on different occasions like for instants one day you spray this fragrance and get fresh ginger the darkness of the plum the chocolate (always there) coffee (always there) and the earthiness of the patchouli and on another day spray it and get a strong burst of strawberry orchid and soft woods I'm not implying this is a bad scent but you never know what your going to get out of it anyway the lasting power is good 8-12 hours and silage is also good too it's strong but not overpowering and is perfect for evening usage overall 6/10

BAM! it's like somebody threw their hot Starbucks IN YOUR FACE. Lots of coffee/chocolate.
Then it mellows a bit and I smell some strawberry (which reminds me of strawberry Quik?) and some slightly musky florals.
It ends as coffee, amber and patchouli to my nose. As a celebrity fragrance it seems to be in line with the persona Rhianna portrays.

This is my second experience with coffee notes, and while I love the smell of coffee itself, the notes in a fragrance just don't seem to work with my body chemistry. I couldn't get over the plasticy-funky smell of the coffee, but it was overlaying in what seemed like a delicious mocha with fruity whipped cream on top.

I can't believe I wrote this fragrance off, it's gorgeous!

I remember having a passing spray a while back when i was out and about. my initial thought was that it smelt just like TM Angel just without the heavy patchouli blast. Having since tested it a few more times I still feel that it's got the same 'feel' as Angel (the yummy chocolate drydown part) but it doesn't smell exactly the same like I first thought.
It smells warm and spicy sweet. On initial spray i get sweet berries, plum and ginger then shortly after I can really smell the patchouli and coffee notes. Rebelle has a slight masculine edge that i think is quite sexy. It projects well for 4hrs, then stays close for the rest of the day. I'm really impressed with this, so much so that I bought the 100ml gift set.

I was very surprised by this little lady!!! When I first spray the edp I don't get much alcohol and it feel a tiny bit oily....at first it smells like a Sexy perfumed woman in an upscale bakery/coffee shop. I get cocoa and coffee....then when it settles on my skin I detect this sort of and very faint flowery but masculine note that reminds me of my boyfriends deodorat. I know it sounds gross but its not at all...i love the way my boyfriend smells...i bury my face under his arms all the time haaaa...and besides he hardly smells and like I said the note that reminds me of my boyfriends deodorant is very faint...like press your wrist on your nose to be able to smell it faint... and it smells deliscious. I also detect this dry note that I can't figure out what is it but smells sexy!!!
I don't say I love it too much when it comes to perfumes but I love this one! I keep sniffing my wrist! I will definetly buy a full size bottle of this and would repurchase this again which I do not do often with perfumes..
I see myself wearing this at any age as it smells sweet but not tooth achey/ sugar overload sweet( I'm 33). It smells grown up sweet but teenagers can deffinetely rock this scent!!!
This scent is pretty, yummy, and sexy. On me and to my nose this perfume is suitable for any season and time of the day (except to a formal setting or overly romantic date).
One of the best celebrity perfumes in my opinion!!!

I absolutely adore this scent. Rebelle is fresh, fruity, flirty, and deliciously spicy. The great thing about Rebelle is that it does manage to be a complex scent because it perfectly mixes sweet strawberry layered into more complex ginger and amber. I am not able to specifically identify the cacao and coffee in this but I am aware that all these different scents come together in such a dynamic manner. I love the drydown, it seems like hours later my skin is left with just a kiss of vanilla and strawberries, very sweet and tantalizing. Rebelle brings to mind the image of serious flirting and a woman that is confident, lush, and a little coy. This can be used as a great day scent and though it is often described as “summery” I do not find it to be overly tropical and thus I think it can be used for all seasons.

I'm in love...love...with this. It's gorgeous...so warm, unusual, and sexy. I get the "coffee" note, and it smells like dark roasted beans, freshly ground. This bitterness contrasts beautifully with the powdery, licorice sweetness of heliotrope, and the spicy mix of strawberry juice and ginger. It calls to mind, slightly, La Maison de la Vanille Vanille Sauvage de Madagascar, but it's darker, and drier. It has a similar mysterious tropical feel to that of Reb'l Fleur, but, Rebelle isn't nearly as insubordinate as her older sister. Because of this, Rebelle is likely to be more popular, and sell to a wider audience. It's like the relief a teacher feels when the "younger sister" is in the class, but it was the radical "older sister" who paved the way for the defiance. This is lovely on its own, and I've dared to layer it with Reb'l Fleur (one sprayed on my wrists, one sprayed on my chest) to smell like a tropical jolt of lightning. Rebelle does not have the slightly sinister berried-tuberose of Reb'l Fleur, so, it can work for daytime, albeit, very boldly. I've been longing for a hot, spicy scent, and I'm loving this!

Sweet, sexy and summery. It reminds me of summer, pleasure, fake tan, cocoa body lotion, cocktails, a holiday I've never been on. I think its really stunning. Definitely won't be my signature frag but definitely a lot of fun for now. I'm 27 and I don't think this is too young for me like I feel about Britney Spears or JLO Glow.

Ooh, yummy. Nothing to say that hasn't already been said. Wonderful for winter, it is really rich and warm. Spicy cacao, coffee, strawberries, and something sweet, like cream. It does blend to give a deep, exotic, coconutty tropical vibe, even though coconut is not listed. Still very much a cold weather scent for me, though. Completely sold on it.

"Tropical Bad Girl"
This fragrance gives that vibe off. But when its sprayed its weirdly irresistible. Not in an "I want to eat you" way but in a "*Sniff Sniff* Yum".

The bottle is a spin off to the Soft Spicy Tropical debut Fragrance "Reb'l Fleur" by Rihanna and comes in a Red bottle with golden features. Beautiful and Vibrant

The fragrance is an oddly irresistible fragrance and gives off a chocolate smell but not a disgusting fake chocolate smell but a unique yummy one. Vanilla comes in second place being the most noticeable in this fragrance. Coco and Vanilla yum.

Reb'l Fleur was one of my favourites so i was dying to try this one! I love this scent however it does not match up to Reb'l Fleur. This scent is more of an evening scent and doesn't last as long meaning you have to use more. I still love this perfume and I love how the bottles are all the same design just different colours... Very stylish.

I have Rihanna's first perfume Reb'l Fleur, and it is one of my favorites, so I was dying to try this one. I just got it in the mail, and I tore it open right away. I haven't smelled it before today, so it was a blind buy based on the love of Reb'l Fleur and the notes in this little gem. I must say, I'm in love with this juice! It smells so similar to a body spray I already have, in the Sexiest Fantasies line by Parfums De Coeur, called Va Va Voom. The scent is so similar, but I do detect the coffee note that is in Rebelle. It's so deep and rich, and the cocao gives it a very deep chocolate vibe, just like the body spray does. If you like this scent, and want a cheaper version (or one you can spray more frequently), I definitely recommend Va Va Voom, although it does have a strong alcohol blast at first spray (thankfully that wears off, and is such a long lasting body spray, it could pass as a perfume!). Now I can't wait to try her 3rd perfume, Nude!

I love how Thierry Mugler A-Men smells on my husband. What a wonderful suprise when I wore Rebel today all day and without any other perfume, that this smells just like A men. I am so in love with it. I just want to keep putting it on. I thought Rihanna Nude was my favorite of her's, but this may have taken the top spot.

I can't stand the bottle and I'm not a Rihanna fan but mmm, this is a lovely perfume!

On first spray, it's very spicy (the ginger is quite overbearing) but you just have to let it sit for fifteen minutes before it becomes much nicer. A warm, chocolate / slight coffee scent appears. I don't like coffee and was worried about it in the notes but it actually works well. This perfume reminds me of winter jumpers and Christmas with hot chocolate, it's really warming. There's also a tiny bit of coconut to keep it a bit tropical. It lasted about 6hrs on my skin, right to a milk chocolate scented dry down. But even about 10hrs later, you can still smell it lightly on the skin, so it's very long lasting :)

The perfume has a sensual vibe, I suppose like Rihanna herself, but the scent is unique and a classy kind of sexy.

All in all, I bought a 50ml today and am delighted. Perhaps I might buy The Body Shop's Coconut perfume, just to layer to make it a bit more coconut-y, but even standalone, it's a delightful scent, especially for winter :) 9.5/10

Bought this today as i needed a cheap n cheerful pick me up ..... Very sweet , so steer clear if you dont like sweetie scents.... Good longlevity and pretty decent for a celeb offering....Perfect sweet and warm comfy cocoon-like smell for the winter months.....We have had so much snow and slush here and spraying this over my heavy winter layers before venturng out makes the cold weather more tolerable..... Dont think I couold handle this fume in hot weather though , it could quickly become sickly.

Top marks for a yummy affordable cold weather scent Rhianna !


( Tried Rebelle Fleur too which is nice , but i prefered this.... Havent seen rhianna "nude" in UK yet but look forward to trying it !)

It isn't bad , on some days i think i like it, but to me it smells cheap, like you can find it at Walmart for a decent price. Not my type of perfume, can't say it smells bad, it is rich and sweet if you like sweet scents, a tad synthetic in the base.
All depends what you are looking for. It lacks sophistication, more an in your face scent.
Young girls here love it.

Rebelle is delicious, spicy and mysterious.

It smells like sweet strawberries dipped in dark chocolate, drizzled with some coffee liquor. Seductive and yummy! The patchouli and amber make the fragrance warm and comforting.

Overall, a warm, delicious and mysterious fragrance. A gourmand scent with a darker twist. I highly recommend!

I find it very disrespectful whenever reviewers describe a fragrance as 'slutty or cheap' You can have an opinion but not whenever it is offensive to others.

I love this perfume, first one I decided would be a signature of mine. At first smell, some may be hesitant as it may come off as synthetic. A spicy mix of Chocolate, Amber, Ginger, Patchouli & a hint of Coffee + Plum are very loud after the first spray. There isn't a Coconut smell, nor is their a coconut note in this perfume. Initially you don't smell the fragrances full potential but can tell it's there. My favorite moment of this scent is the dry down after a few hours. There's still a small bit of coffee, but it's prominently a sweet and savory blend of Strawberries and Chocolate. Even later some of the floral notes set it but it mainly lingers in a warm, fruity, cacao area. The longevity is incredible, spray it on in the morning and you can still pick it up the morning after.

This is a rich spicy grown up fragrance. It has a warmth that envelopes you into the sweet embrace of aromatic coffee, warm amber, and spicy patchouli, with just a touch of plum, ginger and cocoa.
This scent is a visit to one of those little ethnic spice shops full of spices from the world, and fragrant incenses of foreign lands. MMmmmmmm...very nice!

Wow, definitely was not expecting this from Rihanna. This scent is not something you would smell on a teenager because it's not a teeny-bopper kind of scent. It actually comes off as very serious and grown up.

I tried this a couple of days ago and didn't really give it a chance to develop on my skin before buying it. I automatically liked it.

What I smelt at first was something very delicious smelling. Maybe like a good cup of hot coffee with lots of creme, whipped creme and condensed milk (due to the sweetness)with a little bit of cinnamon, or something spicy. About an hour or more later the patchouli takes center stage. This is not my favorite part of the scent. This part reminds me of hot coffee when all the frothy whipped cream is gone and all you're left with is the unsweetened coffee. I thought that this is how the fragrance would end but that's not how it ended. It went back to being its creamy, sweet, slightly vanilla-y state. You could also describe this scent as a rich, smooth, creamy, coffee/caramel hard candy. It has great sillage and lasting power.

This is definitely not something I would wear everyday (it's too special) but I appreciate having this in my collection, because it's incredibly unique and very very beautiful. Since buying it I've just randomly sprayed it on my wrist so that I can inhale it deeply and go yum. Makes me feel SUPER comfy and cozy. It's very rare that I feel like this about a scent.

I love coffee, coconut, chocolate, ginger, strawberries, amber, plum, musk and patchouli....whats not to like about this mixture of notes! This was a blind buy for me because I liked all the ingriedents in this scent. So today I got it! Quickly opened it up and sprayed a bit on my wrist.......wow! It's even better than I expected. I'm not really smelling the coffee but just knowing it's there makes me feel"up". I do smell the ginger, chocolate, coconut and maybe the plum. It is a mildly sweeet, soft and alluring perfume. I am very happy I bought this and will buy it again. I did get the 3.4 oz bottle at a great price on EBAY. I'm still waiting for the "Reb l' Fleur" to come in the mail because I bought that too. I found that one at Kohl's and tried it there....that's another good one! By the way, you can wear this any time, day or night.

German warm Gluhwein in the middle of the winter in front of the fireplace. That's what i see when i smell that one. Big cup of irish coffee - that's second vision. It's beautiful, warm and cosy. In its softiness it reminds me a lot of Nature Millenaire Yves Roche which is no longer available but luckily after years of searching to get something similar i came across Rihanna.
This frag stays definitely better on my clothes than on my skin. On the fabric it stays almost the same as it smells strasight from the bottle. On the skin coffee is getting very strange - like from the old coffee filter. Definitely going to enjoy Rebelle and get some more when its gone.

I really like this perfume! Its the only Rihanna Perfume i have tried and so far i am impressed! Even though coffee is supposed to be the strongest note in the perfume, i didn't pick it up straight away but i did notice a hint of dark chocolate after a while. But as it wares on, there is something i just cant put my finger on and I'm not sure if i like it or not yet, i just cant place it! i don't know if its the Cacao, the Musk or the Ember bur it is very interesting. Only once reading the review did i actually notice the ginger, but over all i like it, its just so annoying that i cant place that one scent!

Coffee is apparently the strongest note in Rebelle; I don't pick coffee up at all. I pick up on: coconut (strongest note I pick up on), cocoa and strawberry. Makes me dream of being on a far away exotic shore sipping pina colda or something coconutty, ironically the Caribbean.

I thought I would try this first thing this morning after drinking my first cup of coffee...I don't know if it's the strong topnotes of synthetic fruits mixed with chocolate or what, but it definitely turned my stomach. The drydown is much better, a little easier to stomach, and the fruit is gone. I find I can tolerate patchouli and chocolate together, although no one can best the leader in that domain, the original Angel, and no one should try. It's been done too many times. I bought this perfume blind the day after Christmas. It was only ten dollars, so if I have to give it away I won't be devastated. Hopefully my first impression was wrong and I can grow to love it.

A nice warm fragrance, but there's one note I can't quite place that is not my fave. This note runs through other frags from the past and present: Cartier Declaration for men, Florabotanica for women, an older Gautier, a 90's Yves Rocher chocolate frag.

The bottle looks like an evening gown from the Miss Universe pageant, or a tarted up Eiffel Tower.

It's also very hard to hold and spray with one hand!

Smells like a marvelous chocolate-coconut dessert. I do not really detect coffee and certainly nothing at all like Navy. I do seem to appreciate the top notes the most, which disappear quickly. Vaguely similar to Angel on the surface with none of its complexity. A little like Queen Latifah. I blind bought a .34 oz spray which blessedly is not in the hooker-heel bottle. I will need to try again and wear a few times to truly evaluate. I like it, but the jury is still out on the full-bottle purchase, even at this cheap price.

I do not like this for the first 40 min or so. If you like Angel you make like the opening. Hey don't smell the same but have a similar feeling.

I really like the warm, woody and sweet dry down but I wouldn't buy it again. It was deeply discounted at Cvs so I gave it a try.

I like this one & will keep this as a staple in my very collective perfume hall of fame! I really like this perfume it has a very original trait that stands out different amongst other perfumes, Rihanna is the Britney Spears equivalent in the celeb fragrance genre because all her perfumes like Britney are incredibly sexy feminine & concocted uniquely which makes those two my fave celeb perfumistas! Good job Rihanna

This is my 2nd review on this fragrance and all I have to say YOWZA. This is a showstopper! The second my mom smelled this she said "it smells like you!" what a compliment! I LOVE THIS!!!! I just ordered Reb'l Fleur and I can't wait until I get it!!!!!! I know now that I officially can't live without this fragrance!!! The coffee and chocolate is so rich and decadent it's mouth watering! I got some on my hand and I literally want to eat it! Definitely a signature for me!!!! I'm pretty sure that I'll feel the same way about her first perfume! YAY! Who says a celebrity perfume can't be amazing? NOT ME!!!!!!!!

Super delicious. It`s cozy, sensuous, relaxed and exotic. I just bought a gift set of Rebelle - 1 ounce edp, body lotion and body wash for under $10.00 at Walgreens. That, and a Britney Spears Radiance set. I was seeking out something different, but remembered all the great reviews on Rebelle.
I bought it blind, and my husband and I are pleased with the scent. I have been wearing on one wrist for just over an hour. It is not packing a huge wallop, it seems so naturally yummy with the cacao and coffee, almost chocolate. A dash of ginger to wake it up a bit, and little tingle of berry. I am not catching the floral, not yet...
So casual and comfy, but so sexy.
Refreshing to get away from the candied fruit bursts!
A big LIKE here... could be love (?)
Bottle not so bad, for the size and price. I would display in my empty collection.

I finally got this after months and months looking for the best price online since the perfume it's not available in Spain. I'm a big fan of Rihanna, that's why I was so interested in smelling her fragrance, but my opinion it's based strictly on the perfume.

First of all, when you first spray Rebelle you get a fruity smell (apparently the strawberry and the plum), but it doesn't smell like a fruit salad, it's more like a fruit cake or pudding. Those fruits are mixed with a very fresh ginger that brings a special spicy vibe to the start of the scent. The fruits last for a couple minutes, and then is where the fragrance starts being rich and warm. The fresh ginger, which at first kind of reminds of eating sushi, turns into a creamy gingerbread cookie smell, that's intensified by the cacao beans.

I have to say that I was very afraid of the coffee notes, because coffee usually gives me a headache. Nevertheless, I don't smell coffee in Rebelle at all, at least not the coffee I'm used to smell. Anyway, it's true that there's a crispness to it may remind of a hot coffee, but in my opinion chocolate takes over.

The scent, which lasts about 6 hours (a bit less than Reb'l Fleur), dries down into a nice and delicious chocolate that brings the sweet feeling to it, so in my opinion the best part is the drydown, which reminds to the one of Thierry Mugler's Angel. As for the other notes, the flowers are hard to notice, but they give balance the rest of the notes and make the fragrance more elegant. The patchouli gives an earthy feel that reminds again of Angel, but this one is more consistent and less strange (I love Angel anyway).

Even though it's similar to Angel at some points, Rebelle is a very unique fragrance; at least I have never smelled something like it. In comparison to Reb'l Fleur, it has still a tropical and sensual vibe, but definitely warmer and cozier, so I would recommend it for the Christmas holidays and winter in general. Eventually, the wait was worth it because Rebelle is REALLY good.

I tried it last night (12/20), because a huge display was near the checkout area at my local Sears. I normally tend to stay away from "celebrity" fragrances, but the bottle caught my eye. I sprayed it on, and at first.... wow! Very intense. Sexual. It is definitely a gourmand, with with cacao, coffee, patchouli and an almond/ marzipan and ginger layer to it. Quite complex. It definitely smells similar to Thierry Mugler's Angel.
I found a bottle today at my local Walmart, and it was listed is $19.99 for 1.7 oz, but it had a $5 off coupon.... the last one on the shelf! I definitely give it 2 thumbs up!

This was a scrubber for me, guys. I positively ADORE Rihanna and I soooo wanted to love this so I read reviews and checked out the notes and I thought "Coffee? Cocao? AWESOME!" But uhh.. I bought it blind today and it was anything but. Smells a hellovalot like Lolita Lempicka L de Lolita...well, at least to my nose and I hate LL. All i really smell is SPICE; loads of it! Totally disappointed coz i really wanted to like it. Oh well! Still love the girl tho.

UPDATE: I tried this agan recently and on second sniff, im like OMG! what the hel was I thinking. It's AMAZING! Sillage is sick (with jus two sprays) and it lasts ALL DAY! I am LOVING this, guys. Wud mos def buy another bottle. :D

After purchasing Rihanna's first fragrance Reb'l Fleur, I was extremely intrigued to buy her second fragrance regardless of the scent. And after I found out that it was limited edition and now discontinued, I wanted it even more. So I bought it and I have to say, I love it. When you first spray it, the top notes are so incredibly rich, but it only lasts for about 10 seconds or as long as it is still wet. The middle and base are nice rich scents also, I mainly get coffee and spicy notes. This fragrance could easily pass as a men's scent or at least unisex. It is not too masculine for a woman to wear however. I really do like this fragrance as well as the first one. They have both got me so excited for Rihanna's third fragrance Nude, which should hit stores where I live in January! I recommend purchasing a bottle of Rebelle while you can still find stock!

I bought this just because it was super (I mean super) cheap. But do I really like it? I am confused. On one hand its tangy & sweet but on the other its cloying and just plain wrong. I think its the musk that's bothering me the most. Over all this is not bad but the earlier version (Reb'l fleur) is the clear winner for me.

I recently got a mini bottle to try. Its completely unlike her first scent but I like it.
Its rich with plum, cocoa, patchouli and coffee notes-it does defintely smells like coffee. I tried Angel on the same day and to me, it does bear great resemblance to Angel. Now, Angel is much more unique but I would call Rebelle its first cousin.
If you think that Angel is too much for you, try Rebelle which is a bit lighter and doesn’t have that weird notes that many people are experiencing.

P.S. my DH said it smelled like men's cologne. While I don't think it smells "manly", it does smell more masculine that her other scent. However, I like it

after long wait,finally got my bottle of Rebelle today.i am blown away.i feel like if i was to design my own perfume this would def be it! great job Riri.u are amazing.i know currently u rule the music charts as you are number 1 in both the songs charts and albums charts.u are truly a superstar and a phenomenon!

anyway, going back to the perfume,i gotta say i am in luv with it.it stars kindda sweet fruity.that lasts like less than a minute and it turns into this rich,dark,yummy alluring cocoa or cacao chocolatey warm and delicious scent.it has sweetness in it but not teeny-booper girly sweetness.it is a complex scent for me.it is very sensual and seductive.made me think of chocolate java chip cookie frap from starbucks.def a feel-good scent.it does remind me a lot of Angel by Therry Mugler but this one is like a third of the price of Angel plus this is like a toned down and younger version of it so it's perfect for me.

this is perfect for gourmand perfume lovers.it is the epitome of gourmand scent for me with just the right amount of fruity sweetness since the main attraction here is the rich coffee chocolatey scent.so yummm.i feel like it doesn't last that long but it's ok i am totally addicted i might need to re-purchase as soon as next month.

I like this one. It's not very common as it starts out very strong fruit-chouli on my skin before the strawberry purée begins to blend in, along with very humble floral accord. Sharp but still pleasant caffeine note is noticeable too. Not totally sweet gourmand but it's in that direction. Patchouli is very dominant however. plus it does remind me of A*Men with a sweeter fruity side. Be sure to try it before buy.

After reading so many positive reviews about this fragrance, I decided to give it another try, even though I had no positive memories about "Rebelle". Sadly, the result was the same: Gross. Just gross. I cannot get myself to like this fragrance one bit. It smells like something to eat but certainly not in a sweet way. In fact, there is absolutely nothing sweet about this; I smell no fruits and can't even detect the cacao. To me, this fragrance is simply a spicy mess, and I would've expected to find herbs and spices in the notes. As ridiculous as this might sound, but this fragrance strongly reminds me of herbal treats I used to give to my horse as a kid. Now, that was a rather pleasant smell... but only in that environment - certainly nothing I want to smell like myself and have around me all day. Sorry, "Rebelle".

Rihanna’s Rebelle is a really thick and unique scent that's both gourmand, fruity, spicy AND floral. On me, it seems to progress from the base of the scent pyramid upwards. It begins with a thick, sweet chocolate-milk coffee top, and then after a couple of hours morphs into a zingy fruity floral, which I'm really growing to like.

I'm not sure why many people don't get it, but the ginger is present throughout for me. It's not candied ginger or the pickled kind you get with sushi. It's fresh-cut and sappy, spicy to the point of being tart. It also melds with the mintiness of the patchouli and amplifies that.

There's a lot going on in this fragrance, and it's by no means a fresh, girly or soft scent, so it can EASILY be too much for many people. For me, it is an acquired taste and something I pull out to enjoy only on occasion when I want something different from the usual.

Rebelle is definitely a gourmand fragrance. On my skin it smells very sweet and overpowering, almost like a fresh-from-the-oven vanilla cookie. No coffee at all. I tryed it from a dab sample and it was very strong, so one using a spray bottle should use a light hand to apply.

This is quite a surprisingly celebrity fragrance, as it isn't a sickly sweet candy mess or a generic fruity-floral as so many celebrity perfumes seem to be.
Instead, it's a wonderfully exotic perfume smelling most prominently of sweet coffee, spice, and oddly enough, coconut oil, even though it's not listed in the notes.
The only problem is, like her other perfume, the bottle is really awkward to hold and spray.
I own the 30ml bottle and soon will be repurchasing!

Now here is a celeb fragrance that I find quite impressive!
First blast? COFFEE! Deep, dark, columbian roast. But the dry down? Oh so delicious!

Smooth, rich, velvety cafa mocha with a side of chocolate covered strawberries, and though no coconut note here, I do pick up a slight toasted coconut accord coming from somewhere.

I dont quite get the name, as this is in no way, shape or form a rebelious scent. Unusaul? yes. Daring? alittle. Sexy? for sure. But with a sweet, cozy warmth and no sharp edges.

More of a comfort scent than a rebellious one, I would say.
This one is going to be absolutely fabulous in the cool, winter months.

I bought it to my friend the 30 ml bottle ... the smell is so warm a little bit less loud than Reb'l Fleur, it is very high quality perfume like all Rihanna perfumes, suitable for winter/ autumn nights ... so rich, luxurious, mysterious, and sexy... moderate sweetness which is very good because I hate sugar syrup perfumes.

I guess that 30 ml (1 oz) bottle is so comfortable to spray than other size bottles because your hand palm can cover almost all the bottle so you have full control when you spray so you will not spray awkwardly ... one to two sprays is enough for the whole evening because lasting time is long enough which is one of it's favorable advantages .

I went downtown and tested this today, and the first word that popped into my head was "alluring." It's warm and spicy, and the faint smell of strawberry mixed with coffee makes this frag rather unique in my opinion. I love Rebelle even more than Reb'l Fleur, even though the bottle isn't quite as nice looking.

It's been on my wrist for an hour and a half now, and hasn't faded in the slightest. That's a huge plus. It doesn't smell burnt to me, just a bit of a daring perfume. The dry down? Gorgeous, I'm not sure how else to describe it. I'm extremely tempted to go downtown again and buy a bottle, and maybe even the whole gift set.

sweet and spicy, coffee note is brilliant in this perfume <3 I love it.

It is sweet and gourmaud but not girly-like at all . In my opinion it is very sexy and feminine and it has got a fantastic structure of notes that awaken the senses.

On my skin I can smell coffee, cocoa a bit of strawberry cheesecake followed by musk and patchouli. Also, I can smell some flowers as well -probably orchid. Very comforting and soft but definitely spicy fragrance. Almost "creamy" and edible. Longevity and sillage are amazing as well.

When I wear this perfume I can imagine myself being on hot Barbados drinking rum and dancing on the beach all night ....

I believe that you really need to have the right chemistry to pull off Rihanna fumes. Unfortunately I'm not one of those lucky people who can wear anything and get away with it..
It does smell interesting, and the notes used are quite daring for a celeb scent. Maybe that's why people are so divided on it. I'm not a fan, but at least it's got some balls and isn't created as a massive crowd pleaser. the lucky ones who can pull it off will definitely be turning heads..

I smells this in the Macy's yesterday and fell in love with the top notes. That all changed within 5 seconds, which is when I smelled what smelled like her first perfume. That ruined it for me, but it could have been a great perfume had she just kept the creamy coffee notes.

For the first few minutes I thought this smelled divine but then it seemed to turn cheap and nasty smelling. The same thing happened when I tried Katy Perry's Purr.

I wanted this parfume so much, and now that I have it, I am confused...
It really is similar to Mugler's Angel, just some kind of a lighter version. Angel is too much to me, too dirty, so i really like Rebelle.
What I don't get is the warm, cozy, cappucino-cacao-vanilla feeling. First I smell strawberries, plum and patchouli in a spicy way.
After 10 minutes it becames so much sweeter...still berries, plum, patchouli AND something sweet. Something really sweet, just like honey. Not what I was expected, but really nice. I don't feel like it is a night-out scent, it has nothing dark, nothing sensous, but still, it is sexy.
With more time it becames lighter and sweeter, a little coffe and vanilla comes into the picture, and I'm in love with it, but still not what I expected.

When I saw a tester of this I just ran over to it, I've been wanting to try this out for long! At first, I thought to myself "nice, Rebl Fleur is way better though". I just had a spray and I could smell it everywhere! First spray smelled like coconut to me, it took me a while to realise that its coffee, and after a while I could smell strawberry and by then I already loved it much more than Rebl Fleur. Amazing smell and sillage, good lasting power but the bottle isn't as nice as Rebl Fleurs. Amazing, could even become my favourite. Lovely job on this one Rihanna! Perfect for me<3. 10/10!

I just bought this. I wantedrealbadlyafter reading the reviews and after reading a comment that it was heaps better than Gaga's first venture into perfume. It has a lovely smell when it dries down. It reminds me of warm coffee in winter. Definitely a autumn/winter fragrance. I'm sooooo happy with my purchase. Thanks for the great reviews

OMG this fragrance is HOT!!!! On me it melts down to a beautiful cacao, coffee, rum and strawberry concoction that is kept from being too sweet with the musk and amber notes. The amber is hardly noticeable which is a plus because otherwise it could likely ruin the loveliness of this scent. This makes me think of sex. Pure and simple.

This one is lovely. Its sweet, but its a smooth sweetness, not abrasive. I get cocoa, coffee, strawberry, and amber mostly. Makes me want to curl up in a blanket with a hot chocolate and read a book. Very smooth and edible smelling. I find if you give it three spritzes or so, it will follow you around most of the day, especially lingering nicely on clothing.

This is warm, sweet, spicy, and smells delicious. It smells like spices, amber, and vanilla. I don't know if my nose is playing tricks on me, but it smells like there's cinnamon here. I don't get any patchouli or flowers, just edible sweet spiciness.

Rebelle-Rihanna

I just wanna say something before I give my review. People, don't be put off by Rihanna's image and her antics or just because it's a celebrity scent and we all know the celebrity scents' reputation for being well, not good. With that being said, this stuff smells excellent! Her 1st perfume impressed me but I think I like this one more! This is a really nice blend of coffee, cacao, patchouli with the other ingredients without being too strong. It even gives off an edible vibe. The sillage is pretty good. 9/10

Unfortunately, I'm really disappointed. :( I was DYING for this perfume. I figured the coffee smell would be right up my alley! But... I don't really smell coffee AT ALL. And if I do smell a little of it, it's almost like if you spilled bitter black coffee on a napkin and then smelled it a few days later. Not pleasant. :( Never smelled a hint of fruity. The dry-down smells powdery and like "fake" vanilla. Kind of like Warm Vanilla Sugar from B&BW. Which I never liked, but if you are a fan of that, this might be what you are looking for. I don't know what kind of scent I think I'm looking for... I may actually try Selena Gomez's new one or Justin Bieber's. I like warm florals and fruits, I think. This one just felt "old lady" to me. :(

Seen as I love Rihanna so much, i'm not going to be biased and say I love it if I don't, but I truly LOVE this fragrance! I love Rihanna because I get her! Her music, her style, her boldness and attitude, but it seems I also get her taste in fragrances! Reb'l Fleur is also a gorgous fragrance but they are totally different from each other. With Rebelle, you can really smell the coffee. I was a little worried when I heard there was coffee in it because I thought eww, coffee's nice to drink but to smell? However, it blended so well with the other notes, it smells amazing! Not strong at all! This fragrance is warm and more Vanilla Oriental than Floral Fruity Gourmand. I highly recommend it.

I smelled this perfume a couple of weeks ago and sort of kind of liked it. I sprayed it on a tester card and kept sniffing it. I eventually decided that I actually sort of DIDN’T like it. Today I was walking through the perfume section and again this scent grabbed my attention. There is something about it but I just don’t know what it is. This time I sprayed in on my skin. It’s so very sweet and dense. I really get a coco butter note and definitely the coffee note but on the dry down I’m getting more of a tropical fruit smell. Like sweet, sweet, sweet papaya and coconuts with faint wafts of a musky floral. I hate fruity smelling perfumes! But this one is so deep and so so so…….. I don’t know! I think I really like this one against my will! I DON’T WANT TO LIKE THIS! But I think I do! God help me, I really do!

Another blind buy based on reviews and "tasting notes" - a winner from the first spray. Very reminiscent of Lolita Lempicka and Chopard Wish...a delicious fragrance that sadly doesn't had much lasting power...On the plus side making it fine for the office.

Agree with others that the bottle shape is atrocious for spraying..very ungainly.

This is all about delicious creamy cocoa butter, warm cappuccino, & a healthy dose of clean yet earthy patchouli. Lower notes I detect subtley boozey fruits, vanillic amber, powdery heliotrope & spiced orchids. Its quite comforting & soft, & can be worn in any weather, imho.

Rebelle, aka a sprayable cup of coffee

When this is first applied, coffee is VERY noticeable. I can also smell some light florals that are not overpowering.

After an hour, this smells like a real smooth chocolate scent. It's very light, I can still smell that coffee.

After 3 hours, this is where the scent is a wreck. It starts to smell like SOAP. I hate it when fragrances smell like this. Unfortunately, this is one of them.

At the end of the day, this smells real light, smooth, rich and creamy. Kind of like how it started of but very lighter and creamier.

This scent feels like its for everyone except children and pre teens.
I'd say ages 15- whenever.

This scent is strong thru ought its perfume cycle if you will, it lasted the whole day(10 hours)!

Overall: Very coffee like, smooth and creamy!
8/10

This is not that different from the original, not as floral, more fruity than anything. I smelled coconut more than anything which is not listed here. I smelled alittle spicy but not much. I expected more chocolate and coffee. I noticed the coffee scent. for it having these characteristics, it's a very light fragrance, I expected much darker scent. I guess I was expecting something a lot different more Like a bulgari omnia but with coffee instead of tea. Decided not to buy it.....

So I got this as Christmas gift, wearing it now, its growing on me. It's sweet and fruity in the opening, the Chocolate I hardly smell, it last like 5 minutes. Then the coffee and florals come into play. The coffee is light but you can smell it, The florals are very nice mix with the coffee, it's a sweet and spicy scent at the same time but not really strong. The patchouli is very faint, then comes the musk. I actually smell the coffee linger through the end, as the other notes prounouce themselves the coffee does regress but it remains which is really what I think makes this scent so different. Coffee scent tend to disappear fast. It last 8-10hrs, pretty much the same as Reb'l Fleur. I will admit this scent grew on me, initially the first time i smelled it, was on a sample paper at the store and didn't really smell all the notes. Now on my skin throughout the day, I smell all of it. I'm surprised with it in a good way. Rihanna shocked me with this one. Now I will give it, it's kudos.

Rebelle starts with some plum,strawberry and some ginger that becomes a dark sweet spicy note! Then,comes the middle notes,with the heliotrope,the cacao and the vanilla orchid,that becomes a sweet bitter floral note! At the drydown,you got some musk,patchouli,amber and coffee,that becomes a spicy bitter note! After awhile all those notes combined becomes a delicious strawberry dipped in a bitter dark chocolate with some sweet spices! Rebelle can be worn in winter because it's got chocolate in it!Could be nice in autumn as well because it's got coffee in it! There is also a little exotism in this fragrance that reminds me of a nice summery scent! Rebelle is a nice fragrance,when you want something dark,sweet, a bit bitter and something sexy!

This is gonna sound strange... but Rebelle smells IDENTICAL to Tomorrow by Avon which is a male cologne! I compared notes and they both have patchouli, amber and leave a coconut dry down.

As soon as I smelt Rebelle I thought of my boyfriend (who wears Tomorrow) Because of this, I personally feel like I can never wear Rebelle as I associate it with smelling manly. Don't get me wrong though, it's still an extremely feminine perfume - a sweet, warm, mocha coffee/amber scent that oozes sexiness.

I don't think the packaging represents Rebelle very well - when I smell this, I think of dark brown's and black, rather than red and gold. Think Calvin Klein's Secret Obsession - this is the kind of bottle and image Rebelle should have reflected. It is definitely a 'dark' and adult perfume; a young girl would not be able to pull this off.

If you love this and want your boyfriend/hubby to wear the male version, I would recommend buying 'Tomorrow' by Avon. I still can't get over how much they smell alike!

YUM! I can soooo smell the cacao with a hint of coffe and patchouli 8-)
It's warm, delicious, spicy and sexy. Perfect for a night out with the girls or if you simply just wanna be a 'rebelle' ;)
The drydown smells similar to Innocent by Thierry Mugler which I also love. Rebelle is just slightly more bitter

Lasts for like 10 hours, it's a shame about the bottle though. It deserves a way more expensive looking one

Hmmm....I could have sworn there was some coconut in it but I guess that's the cacao. For the first little while it reminded me of sunscreen, as anything fruity and coconut-y will do, but after a little while, I'm finding the amber and orchid coming out more, along with a whisper of coffee. It's a warm, sweet and sexy fragrance. I think Rebelle would suit a confident woman.

At first spray I found it very masculine, I was reminded of kokorico by Jean Paul Gaultier. Musk and savoury chocolate.
Within a few seconds on my skin it did a complete 180 and a very very sweet, sharp rum and raisin ice cream smell took over. It's been on my skin about ten miniutes now and it's soft, almost powdery rum, coffee and chocolate mixed with smells I can't quite put my finger on.
Very interesting, I've not smelt anything like it.
Rich, dark, sexy.
Not a perfume for casual wear, it packs a punch.

When I first smelled this in the store in Feb 2012 I was not impressed. In fact I cursed Rihanna because I LOVED Reb'l Fleur & just couldnt imagine how she could go from that to THIS.

Fast forward a few days... I wore the jacket I had when I tested this fragrance to work without knowing the card I sprayed was still inside the pocket. All day I kept smelling this beautiful scent. It was so warm, sweet & spicy but sexy. It completely engulfed my senses. I asked my co-workers around me what they were wearing, all familiar scents that I knew couldnt be what I was smelling.

When I went to pick up some papers off of the floor I noticed the scent was coming from my pocked so I reached in only to find the card w/ Rebelle on it that I swore was HORRENDOUS! lol! I felt so silly. I immediately ate my words & purchased it.

So far I see myself wearing this on date nights this summer or a girls night out. It's definitely a night/fall scent. It's nothing like Reb'l Fleur but that's the beauty of it. They're both sultry & sexy in their own way. I completely agree with dness22 this scent is not for the innocent. It screams sex & begs them to take you where you stand & they better not even dream of taking it easy on you. Nails in his back is just the beginning. ;)

Coconuts, rum, woods, chocolate is how I'd describe this fragrance in simplest terms.

Rhianna has said that she wears her fragrance rather than let her fragrance wear her.

I'd say there was a reason for this comment on her part. This perfume makes a statement and it has it's very own personality. Consequently it's very hard to identify with it or tame it if you like. It's not easy to make it your own.

I think the advertisement was actually very spot on for Rhianna's perfumes. This scent has a soft side to it: the chocolate and the milky coffee scents. But it also has that naughty part to it: the rum and coconuts. The whole blend taken together makes you almost think of a warm, sun kissed, young skin of a very exotic woman, lying on a beach at night with seductive look on her face saying 'come closer'. Because of the milkiness and creaminess of this scent you are kind of overwhelmed by the scent; it's dark but the temperature isn't dropping, it's still a heat rush hour in disguise.

I'd say this scent is not for girls or innocent women. This is a fragrance for a woman with long nails ready to be used on some young man's back.


On the other hand, perfumes are so beautiful because everyone reads something else into them and they bring out different characteristics in people.
I can easily see how this perfume could be a comforting, cosy one for winter where you sit by the fire and feel like you're drinking warm chocolate and eating coconut cookies.
This scent isn't like that for me though.

REBELLE opens with berries, but the sweetness is toned down as the fruit is combined with a sharp hint of ginger.

I'm not able to separate any floral notes, as the patchouli and coffee develop quickly. The mix is dark and rich, with a hint of vanilla to contract with the stronger masculine coffee.

I love sweeter fragrances, so the base of coca and amber is a real winner for me. The scent notes sound like they'll be too much together, but by combining them with the patchouli and coffee we get a warm, comforting sweetness, with a slightly masculine sharpness, preventing the sweet notes from becoming sickly.


I'm still using testers at the minute, but I think that REBELLE will be my next fragrance purchase. It reminds me of a few other perfumes which are no longer made, it's inexpensive to buy and it wears pretty well.

Much, much better then Reb'l Fleur.

Na minha pele sobressaiu um cheiro de doce de coco que me dei dor de cabeça, provocou enxaqueca.Não entendi essa evolução.

Foi uma experiência infeliz; dei de presente pra uma amiga que ia se mudar de cidade, e que gostou muito dele; se ela fosse ficar por aqui, eu não daria não, pra não correr o risco de senti-lo sempre.

(ENGLISH)


On my skin stood out a sweet smell of coconut that gave me a headache, migraine caused.

My first experience of Rebelle wasn't good. But I let it have a go with me. So one day when I put some rebelle on me before I went to my hairdresser something happened. My hairdresser usually never asks me anything personal. But that day he just had to know what perfume I was wearing. I could not recall at the time what the perfume was called. So I had to come back with the name. after that I started wearing the perfume and discovered how sweet it it! Rebelle by Rihanna brings me to thinking of butterscotch, cocoa and chocolate. A wonderful creation indeed!

I'm in love! I can't believe I like a celeb scent so much! This is sexy sexy! The notes are right on. I get the coffee note at first spray but later it kinda just supports the other notes. The coffee note is closer to an espresso type coffee, not sugared down coffee or cream. I also pick up the amber and chocolate all the way through. LOVE THIS SO MUCH! I will be buying this!

This is a lovely, lovely surprise.

For all you "soft scenters" out there, this one is great for you.

For all you gourmand lovers out there, this is a great one for you.

I detect soft, soft creamy coffee. Soft, Soft, creamy chocolate.

I have been on a "coffee note" hunt for a while, and this is the first time I actually can detect it in a perfume. Those two Bond No.9 perfumes that say they have coffee notes are pullin' your leg if you ask me. They MIGHT have coffee... but it is way overpowered by all that "perfume" scent... blech. The chocolate in this is pretty true to its note as well. That is another note I've continued to pursue.

I don't get most other notes. Dry down results in a wonderful, soft, creamy, slightly sweet (orchid?) powdery, (did I say wonderful?) skin scent. I also, like some mentioned, find a coconut scent wafting in and around ever so faintly, though not listed in the notes. Its great actually.

I tend to like my perfumes a tad stinkier. However, I have been buying these up on eBay (used ones mostly) for a song cuz I spray this on as if its a body mist to get my sniff fix.

I sprayed it heavy in my cleavage before bed, and woke up to the most beautiful, sensual, soft sweet creamy ever so slightly powder skin scent EVER .

Very surprised and pleased with this.

As for the bottle... I won't get all high falootin' like some tend to want to show off and call it names like cheap, etc. Practically speaking, it has a wide base, is heavy, and hard to spray with one hand.

P.S. I personally find absolutely no similarity to Chocolovers or Queen.

I agree that the bottle looks cheap - really not my taste and awkward to hold - but the perfume is heavenly. It's like a slightly softer and cleaner version of Bond no. 9 I love New York for All. Coffee, cocoa, amber, black pepper with a bit of coconut and orchid all combine to create a warm, sensuous scent that lasts for hours on your skin.

Rebelle Rebelle Rebelle how i love you!
I can't decide which i like best of Rihanna's 2 fragrances! This one is a little lighter than Reb'l fleur but just as good! This one is a little less tropical and is mainly a chocolately coffee scent. Complements have told me i smell like food (in a nice way) You can smell the coconut in it as well as the light musk smell. Lasts a good while just like the first scent by Rihanna. Definately a warm comforting scent for those colder days but now we are getting into summer in the UK im finding it a nice one to wear on the cooler evenings though i dont think it will suit summer days and im not ready to say goodbye until the autumn to this fragrance :(

MMMMM......Coffee has never tasted so good. Rihanna has done it again. After being wowed by Reb'l Fleur I had to try Rebelle, but I wasn't expecting to be wowed again. However, that's exactly what happened. Rebelle is a sweet, golden, coffee laden perfume massive attack on the skin. I simply adore coffee type aromas in my perfume. After my Dolce & Gabbana BY was all gone, I searched frantically for another coffee laced fragrance. Thank God I found Rebelle. It smells nothing like its predecessor but it's equally beautiful. The notes of coffee, cacao, amber, patchouli, ginger, strawberry, musk, ploom, heliotrope and orchid are vibing together gorgeously in this bottle of juice. Rihanna's Rebelle smells like a sweetened version of Prada Leau Ambree and a sugared version of L'Or de Torrente. Rihanna's perfume team are on a roll as far as her fragrances are concerned. Both of her perfumes are some of the best celebrity perfumes I've ever encountered. I love Reb'l Fleur and was certain that Rebelle wouldn't smell as good as it, but I was wrong. Rebelle is just as sexy and delectable as her older sister. Both yield totally different aromas but both are equally sexy and attention grabbing as Reb'l Fleur. Ri-Ri is definitely making her presence known in the perfume world. Do your thang girl. Your fragrances are rocking my world.

fruity, spicy, surrounded with strong coffee richness; berries, coffee, amber, musk and coconut. strawberry and orchid lighten and brighten this perfume. younger sister scent to her 1st one. difference is that this one's more fruity, sweet and possibly wearable for some.
it's so so kind of a perfume. main reason I don't care much for it is this strong coconuty sweaty musky old woman aura that's possessed both of Rihanna's perfumes creations. It's like she has lost some of her senses. Wearing this in warm/hot weather could be disastrous.

I finally got my hands on a tester of this today after months of anticipation. Sadly, I wasn't blown away - on my skin, it is from top to bottom the drydown on Thierry Mugler's Angel, but with Nag Champa in place of the patchouli, giving a very distinct incense scent with chocolate, vanilla, and a hint of coffee. Warm, sensual, it's a very unique celeb scent but I'll probably only buy a 30ml bottle because I already have Angel and prefer its complexity - Rebelle has none of the 'sparkle' and crystalline-sugar sweetness and sharpness of Angel, it's all dark, smoky drydown. 6/10.

I am usually attracted to fruity gourmand scents like Britney Spears orginal fantasy & Katy Perry's Purr for ex. but with this scent it's completely diff from what i'm used to. I love this scent, i find it has this alluring silky sophisticated touch, Perfect for spring with its delicateness i will wear this as a casual scent perfect for work & daily activities.
For a night on the town this scent could definitely be appropriate. I prefer more girly sweet scents for nightlife. Enjoy & for those considering it def is worth it to add to your perfume collection

I'm considering using this as a diet supplement - wearing it is like having had a caramalised, slightly toffee'd, glistening praline confection with caffe latte (just a little, strong coffee with heaps of creme de la creme) or a strong turkish coffee with whipped cream & a fine sprinkling of grated chocolate. Or blow-torched buttery creme caramel with burnt butterscotch sauce. There's definitely a burnt toffee smell I can almost taste it that fades out after a few hours to faint, smoky incense. That burnt toffee smell is the only reservation I have yet about this. Of course, there's deep red heavily scented roses on the dining table with lightly scented coconut and liquorice (think Wish, Lolita Lempicka LL) candles burning at the other end of the room. It's definitely a winter scent and that's just fine winter is coming up in Australia. Huge projection and lasts easily until the next meal.

Everyone is always talking about Rebel Fleur, but what about Rebelle? This perfume gets no lovin'! It smells so good! Chocolatey coffee goodness! I smelled Rebel Fleur first and then this one, and I was immediately drawn to this one first. It smells good enough to eat! Then again, I am a total sucker for gourmand scents!

This just arrived in my country, a very pleasant surprise as i was doing a bit of shopping, strolling through my local Boots store and there it was yay! I bought it straight away something i don't usually do. I love it!! On first spray it smells to me really similar to Lolita lempicka au masculine (which you can pick up now for next to nothing as i believe it's been discontinued). After it starts to dry down it turns a bit sweeter and after about an hour of wearing it i'm getting the cocao note meshing with the fresher 'licorice' type note, it blends extremely well! As of yet i'm not getting the coffee note so much it kind of mixes with the cocao and smells mocha ish. hmmmm loving it!! i'm not a huge Rihanna fan (she's ok) but her perfumes are divine!! I would say this is not as loud as the first one but it's quite persistent in a quieter way. I put this on last night before going out and i can still smell it this morning so lasting power is pretty good! oh i love it!! another edgy but at the same time pleasant fume from Rihanna!

This is creamy and smooth. I orignially went into my local department store to try out Reb'l Fleur because of the coconut note listed. I smelled both and was quite confused as this one seemed to contain coconut while the other had none.

I didn't know what to make of this as it was quite unlike anything I'd smelled before. In the end, I kept coming back. It smells to me like tanned, sun warmed skin after a day splashing around at whatever local watering hole you might have. The damp water and warm sun mixing with tanning oil or a really good beachy lotion. Just delicious and very different.

How has no body said marzipan yet?!!! This stuff is practically marzipan in a bottle. Definitely a love it or hate it scent- for me, I love it! Very creamy, sweet without being sickly and a muskiness that doesn't take away from the its femininity. A very sexy scent! I think soon enough it will be an extremely popular, unmistakable scent for young women, much like how Alien is now. Going to be smelling a lot of girls wearing this on a night out in town!

I was a little bit apprehensive about this as I thought it would be too strong but I really love it. Reb'l Fleur is fantastic and this is up there with it too.

Fruity, sweet and slightly coconutty at the beggining which quickly transforms into a creamy, smooth cocoa and coffee scent with the patchouli lingering in the background. What I like with both Rebelle and Reb'l Fleur is that the patchouli compliments the fragrance rather than overpower it like it does in some other fragrances. Here, it adds an earthy feel pulling the sweetness back a little bit and making this fragrance more sexy and mature. Amber rounds it off at the end to a great finish.

Lasting power and sillage is fantastic once again. This lasts a good 7 hours and projects pretty well too.

Another winner from Rihanna.

I absolutely love this fragrance! Her first one is beautiful but this one is so creamy and delicious.

There are similarities between this one and her first but Rebelle is spicy and yummy, it reminds me of a chocolate flavoured latte with a little cream on top. The lasting power is excellent and the bottle is pretty.

I may not like Rihanna's music or style but her team make great quality perfumes. If you thought her first one was too heavy, try this as it really is gorgeous!
Highly recommended.

It's a love or hate fragrance.
I love it but still prefer her first fragrance.
The coffee is very strong, so if you don't like the smell of coffee you won't like this scent.

This is warm, spicy, fuzzy, and dense. Quite heavy on the amber at first, with a musty patch note coming in closely behind, a hint of cacao. A little sweetness. At this point, the word that comes to mind is 'bohemian'. An eclectically creative personality. Very thick and orientalish to my nose, and not quite what I would consider gourmand at first. This phase lasts for a couple hours. When it finally lightens and sweetens up (gourmandly), it smells like a luke warm rich syrupy vanilla latte. Amber and patchouli do hang around, but take a quiet back seat to the latte at the end. It is nice. I appreciate it. Don't really get much of the fruits on my skin. They disappeared very quickly.
Sillage is respectable. You know you have it on, and so will others. Longevity is very good. If you are an amber/patch/coffee lover - try it for sure!

Totally in love with this scent right now - can't get enough of it! Only downside is the shape of the bottle making it slightly awkward to spray, but it is not worth putting off a purchase for that! The milk chocolate and coffee tones are luxuriously sweet and enticing. I absolutely love the way Rebelle sweetens and mellows throughout the day - this is a really sexy, interesting fragrance and definately worth a try for any lovers of chocolate and vanilla based scents.

I was so excited to find out that Rebelle was finally being released in the U.K.
I absolutley love Reb'l Fleur so I was really excited to smell Rebelle.
I was not dissaponted in any way at all with the follow up. In fact I am having a tough time choosing which one I like best, thats how wonderful it is.
Rebelle is still very strong and lasts for hours which is a BIG plus for me, becauase I can't stand having to re-apply my scents every 10 minutes.

This time around I find the notes that I can smell the most on first spray are the Ginger and Strawberry with just a hint of Plum.
The top notes are so yummy sweet, spicy and exotic smelling, that your mind might just want to escape to somewhere hot and sunny.

After the top notes fade a little in comes the Orchid, Coffee & Cocoa. Oh I swear I never smelt anything so damn sexy in my life. When Rebelle gets in this stage you won't be able to stop smelling yourself for hours.
Right at the end of the fragrance it takes a slightly more sharpe twist with the smell of Patchouli and Amber.
I can't get enough of it,for me its the perfect perfume for day & night as it evokes so many different feelings throughout the day.
Thumbs up for this one Rihanna, its Awesome!!

Absolutely love this perfume. Not quite a fan of reb'l fleur. Also the lasting power is quite impressive, I spray it on early in the day and can still smell it on myself after a long day at work. The only negative thing is the bottle, not exactly a fan. I have this in a 3.4 oz bottle and it's huge. It's kind of uncomfortable to hold and awkward to spray with.

This is a second review for me. On really cold days, I find myself reaching for this more and more. I own the lotion and it smells just wonderful! I know the coffee notes are sharp to some people trying this, but just let it dry down before you wash it off; you just might be surprised. Coffee is one of those weird notes that is indeed sharp, but once it settles, it can be very divine smelling. Rebelle is sexy but I find to also be a cozy, comfort scent too. The lasting power is good on my skin; it starts off loud, but dries very softly as I can catch small nuances throughout the day. I hope Rihanna comes out with more frags, because she's done an excellent job so far.

SMELLS WONDERFUL!! with a fun && flirty side, I love Rihanna && RiRi deff. knows what she's doing she doesn't dissapoint, && I do prefer this wayy over the orig. && for this being her 2nd fragrance && me liking both hey that's pretty good!

I would say (IMO) this is pretty much good for year round opposed to the Orig.(fall/winter).

Now for the bottle there's some mixed feelings yes it is a little uncomfortable to hold (specially in a 3.4oz) but it's interesting if you know the story behind how the bottle got its shape. Ri was having a hard time thinking of a bottle design as she was going to the appointment her heel from her shoe broke off, she pulled it out of her purse && told the designer what happened to her the designer immediately pointed to the broken heel && said that's your design, && behold the design for the bottle emerged. turn it over its a heel! Rihanna's actual heel from her shoe she was wearing that day! of course you knew it was a heel but did you know that? :)

I just got this and I can't figure out if I like it. I appreciate that it's something quite different but it can smell a little "burnt." And I can't decide if the burnt smell is sexy or annoying. I'll have to wear it out one night because this is definitely a nighttime type of perfume, not something for the office.

Loving this more and more everyday. Rihanna looks beautiful in the slip cover ad that goes over the beatufil, big red box.

The fragrance starts out with a pinch of salt of spice and a nice cacao smell but there's a coco butter feel to it and a dash of coconut. The fragrance doesn't really transform like Reb'L Fleur does and it stays quite the same but I don't mind because I love it! It's a lot lighter than Reb'L Fleur and after about 3 or 4 hours it stays close to the skin but it lasts for about 7-8 hours! Rihana's lasting power for her scents are fantastic!

The body lotion, which Macy's FINALLY got in stock, is very different. It starts out with a kinda coffee smell and it starts smelling VERY similar to Queen Latifah's Queen. VERRRY strange the lotion smells like that. The lotion tubes are almost identical. Just the writings on the tube are different. Last thing I wanna add is the lotion is STRROOONG! WAY stronger than the scent and that also lasts for hours

Interesting warm, spicy coffee turns into patchouli wrapped in patchouli. I hate patchouli because it becomes so overpowering on my skin. Sweet patchouli is even worse than musky patchouli. I will not be trying this one again.lol

I sniffed this straight from the bottle, and it is sickly sweet. I guess I'm just not a fan of Rihanna's perfumes. I didn't like Reb'l fleur and I don't like Rebelle.

Yuck. Once you spray this heavy cloud, you will smell a cloud of what smells like burnt brandied pudding for the next 8 hours. Really. I dont personally like it but if it was diluted to about 1/10 its original strength, it might work.

Wow! I received a bottle of Rebelle for Christmas, as it was on my highly anticipated list, and it does NOT disappoint! This is basically chocolate coffee. Rich, luxurious, mysterious, and sexy. I would say that this is definitely a confident scent, and will be enjoyed by most! Rebelle is in no way a run-of-the-mill celebrity scent though! This is fairly unique, and really brings you to the holiday season. I get some nutmeg along with the coffee and chocolate as well. The patchouli and musk make it really classy and earthy. Perfect time to wear this is on a special occasion, or whenever you want to be noticed! It is LOVELY!

Okey dokey, this review is for the body lotion. None of the stores where I live have this yet, so this was a *gasp* blind buy on Ebay. First of all, it's very different from RiRi's first one; not beachy or tropical at all. But it is warm and somewhat spicy, and when the description above says "strong gourmand chords", it means strong gourmand chords. If you don't like sweet scents, stay far away from this one, because it is very sweet. On me, the best way I can describe it is fruity, slightly syrupy, with some coffee mixed in. I don't think it's sharp, just different; very different and unique from anything I own that's for sure. To me, this is a great fall/winter and early spring scent; the hot months would be too much for the sweetness. Even for the body lotion, the lasting power is pretty good. I really like sweet scents, so Rebelle is up my alley; it also got the hubby's approval too. Hope this helps anyone who wants to try it. :)

EDIT: After this has been on for a while, it takes on a more masculine approach and is less sweet, but darker in it's nature. The coffee note is most predominant, with some very slight nuances of floral and fruit. Honestly, this is a great gourmand scent, but only if you're into gourmand will you like it. My hubby and I went out for a little and I had a few people tell me that I smelled nice. Overall, I'm very happy with Rebelle, but I swear the dry down smells almost unisex. Very unique indeed!

Ok, the dry down is just fine, but the rest of Rebelle is just not for me. At times it reminds me of the original and I like that about it, but goodness, when you first spray it on, and for most of it's development, it's SCARY HARSH stuff! The combo of everything just doesn't work for me this time around! I luv the bottle! I'll test it again for sure but, for the time being, Rebelle is a no no for me. On to the next one RiRi! Oh and totally agree with secretcrush! Rebelle is not your typical celebrity scent! Shout out for that alone RiRi and Parlux! : )

My Macy's had the tester on display... RANCID!!! Smells like dollar store roach spray but it isn't a scent that can be denied its uniqueness in a sea of celebrity fragrances... Borderline masculine with its notes of tobacco(not listed here) and coffee... A very big disappointment 4 me :(

I also said to myself. ...i have smelled this before! Something my mom used to always wear. This smells a TON like Dana Navy. A 90's perfume. Its a womanly scent...a well put together one. Not my style at all. I find it to be a sweet floral. I actually wish it was fruitier! Much less spicey and much less tropical that her initial scent. I actually smell no coconut at all. Anyway...this is off of the sample that i got out of her amazing new album!

This smells like SOMETHING but I can't put my finger on it! Everytime I smell it I'm transported to a time where I've sniffed this before.....but I just sniffed it for the first time today! I can't believe there isn't any coconut listed in here as it smells like Coconuts, coco and vanilla! Very nice! Can't wait to test it out for the lasting power and everything else!

Have to admit, I'm really excited for this one. Reb'l Fleur is top of my favourite celebrity fragrances, it's very complex and well carried out - unlike a lot of celeb fragrances that are just cotton candy and floral mush dumped into a pretty bottle. The notes in this one sound absolutely gorgeous - it will be very interesting to see how it turns out! Definitely at the top of my fragrance wishlist right now.
