I admit I can be quite the fragrance snob and tend to be drawn towards designer rather than celebrity fragrances so never looked twice at Reb'l Fleur. I received an EDP gift set for Christmas and was pleasantly suprised.
'Sexy' and 'Daring' perfectly describe the fragrance. A little sweet but a lot spicy, floral and vanilla notes dominant the first spray. As it warms the heady, intense floral scent of tuberose really comes forward and then the lasting musky overtones. This is a strong scent but with just enough balance so that the fragrance is sophisticated not sickly.
In terms of longevity, this is one of the more longer-lasting fragrances I own, the scent prescent on my skin hours after application.
I do think a better bottle could have been designed to match the perfume. Yes, it's practical and looks and elegant and stylish, the gold ring giving it a touch of glam, but from such a daring and outgoing superstar like Rihanna I picture a bolder bottle design to match the personality of the perfume and the celebrity name it's attached to.
I've grown to like this perfume quite a lot and wear it often as an everyday scent. It's also been one of my most complimented fragrances which really suprised me! I would recommend it for ladies either gift shopping or who enjoy a spicy floral fragrance as I think it has quite universal appeal, as evidenced by it's #7 spot on Beauty Review's Top 10 Fragrances list!
This is a fave, its nice and sweet, but not too 'young'. I wore this at a friends wedding, was in the bridal party and we all wore it. Its a great special fragrance, and a great mix between sweet and sexy. I don't think it lasted as well as it could have, however for the price I think that's to be expected.
