I like the smell but I feel like its a smoky/musky smell which would suit older women better. It's slightly strong as well. I personally prefer slightly sweeter scents. This is quite strongly on the vanilla orchid side and less on the strawberry side.

Rihanna Rebelle Review
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
My husband purchased this perfume for me after he noticed how much I loved the black Rihanna perfume. I love the black one. This one not so much. I tried so many times to love this perfume but I just couldn't do it. Each time I applied it I just couldn't help but feel like I had old lady perfume on. I feel like it is a complete different sent to the black rihanna perfume and that one is my jam. I needed up throwing this perfume in the rubbish, I just couldn't do it. It wasn't for me.

Too strong on my skin
This perfume by Rihanna comes in an interesting shaped glass bottle with red and gold accents, it is shaped like an upside down martini glass which is somewhat awkward to hold, even more harder to spray onto myself with one hand, it is more of a two hand job.
Rebelle is a very strong scent that lingers with me all day, as it is on my skin first it is very musky, spicy and strong patchouli smell and the spicyness and patchouli scent lingers on my skin which I did not like.
I had only used this a handful of times and gave it away to a friend as I could no longer wear it.
I have given it a score out of two for the "did it do what is said it would" for the staying power, it lingered on my skin for a good part of the day.

Rihanna fragrance
I don't know where to start with this one. When I smelled if I couldn't believe it was for Rihanna it's definitely alternative but doesn't seem youthful new or nice I thought it was off expired or old. I don't even like the bottle. Love her songs though but I think that's what she should stick to doing. If you like strange heavy unusual or musky warm scents and are after something different check it out. The description sounds nice but I can't smell much of what's in it. There's spice though

Smells 'old'
This perfume just isn't for me. It's too florally and it just has that nana perfume vibe which isn't necessarily bad but it doesn't make me feel sexy and i've never been complimented on it. I bought it after someone told me it was similar to black opium ysl, but I think this is far from the truth as the two scents are not similar at all. To be honest I don't even use this perfume when i've run out of everything else, i'd rather go out with nothing on. Just not for me. I will say the scent is fairly long lasting though.
Tips: Definitely try before you buy, don't make the same mistake I did.

Spicy but not for me
I received this as an EDP miniature as part of a gift set for Christmas. I hadn't smelled it before but I was excited to try it.
This is a strong, heady scent that is not for the faint of heart, much like Rihanna herself! The red-trimmed bottle almost mimics flames, which matches the warm, spicy fragrance that bellows notes of ginger and musk. Over time the musky scent mellows and you can also pick up vanilla base notes which linger for hours.
Personally this fragrance is my least favourite of the three Rihanna scents I have tried, the scent just isn't my cup of tea so I wouldn't repurchase for myself. I think this would be suited for someone who likes spicy, musky fragrances.

not a big fan
Its super strong and extremely sweet/spicy smelling. Not for me. The perfume itself isn't sticky but after spraying it i feel sticky for some reason.
Tips: only spray tiny amounts, its extremely strong

Hot and spicy!!!
I got the 100ml EDT with a M2 magazine subscription (that I actually signed up for just for the perfume). It was an amazing deal I think it was $30 for 24 months of the magazine and a free 100ml bottle of this perfume which is a steal!
At first smell you can smell the spiciness which comes from the amber and musk mixed with the ginger notes. However, throughout the day the hints of floral scents come out. But I find on me throughout the day it goes from spicy to floral then to vanilla which I find strange.
The notes are: Top notes: plum, strawberry and ginger Mid notes: orchid, cacao and heliotrope Base notes: musk, patchouli, amber and coffee
In the first 3 months of having this I was in love and absolutely adored it as it was long lasting and was quite strong. However, after awhile the perfume started giving me a headache due to the musk so I had to get rid of it.
For those who like musky, spicy scents this is a great one and it's super cheap too.

My Partner and Children got this for me for Christmas in 2013. I was pretty excited to try it out after finishing the black bottle version of this
I was so dissapointed once I sprayed it :( It was very zesty, musky and spice infused smelling. Definitely not one for me.
The bottle is beautiful. Glass bottle, circular and large a the bottom, gets smaller towards the top with a red pattern on the glass which I thought always resembled an R for riri.
This perfume comes in a 100ml bottle and mini sized (Not sure of the size but have seen the mini riri collection set).
I don't have much more to say about this product as it wasn't for me and still sits on my dresser as I can't part with it, because I like the design of the bottle lol
