Reb'l Fleur

Sticky Sweet PLUM-BERRY-"CHOULI". Opens with a sweet, fruity burst of plum, peach & red-berries, and already you can feel the patchouli coming through. That deepens into the creamy violet heart of coconut, tuberose, hibiscus & violet. That all rests on a vanilla & patchouli base, rounded out by musk and amber. There are also so faint clean touches here. Coconut is more noticeable well into the drydown. This isn't a dupe or clone of anything, but I get reminders of Euphoria Calvin Klein, Black XS For Her Paco Rabanne & Yes I Am Cacharel. It definitely dates to the early 2000s (probably due to the similarity to Euphoria), although it's nicely done for this type of scent imho. These bottles are a fail however, and take up too much space, but better in the 30ml size - in the 100ml size the bottom heaviness wants to alter the angle of spray (not so bad for the neck but really difficult to spray your wrist). This has really good performance for year round wear, but it's super sweet so I would be more likely to wear it in the winter (on Throwback Thursdays). Contrast to Euphoria Calvin Klein: These are different, but there are striking similarities with red-berries, violet & creamy notes from tuberose, however patchouli is more forward here, while woody notes are more forward in Euphoria. Roughly equivalent performance. Contrast to Angel Mugler: These are very different, but there are similarities with a very sweet fruity patchouli. I don't get the near-gingerbread-chocolate notes present in Angel here. Angel outperforms. Contrast to Black XS For Her Paco Rabanne: These are different, but there are striking similarities with sweet, fruity patchouli & red-berries. Black XS leans more to red-berries while Reb'l Fleur leans more to plum. Patchouli doesn't go as dark here as in Black XS. Reb'l Fleur outperforms reformulated versions of Black XS. Overall: affordable, super-sweet, plum-"chouli" scent, with above average performance. Fans of super sweet scents, enjoy!

*Ini review saya tulis di kaskus tahun 2013* Sebelumnya maap klo reviewnya amburadol, nubi lagi belajar review nihh. Reb’l Fleur sebenarnya nama panggilan kecil Rihanna oleh neneknya yang diambil dari bahasa perancis yang mempunyai arti Rebellious Flower / Bunga Pemberontak. Menurut fragrantica parfum ini termasuk jenis Chypre Fruity, pas disemprot yang muncul pertama adalah wangi Peach dan Plum lalu diikuti oleh Red Berries dibelakangnya. Sekitar 1 jam-an masuk ke bagian heart notes, yang dominan di bagian ini adalah notes bunganya (bunga sedap malam, violet, & bunga sepatu) yang membuat parfum ini terasa lebih elegan dan dewasa. Dan akhirnya yang ditunggu-tunggu muncul juga yaitu Coconut. Jangan samakan coconut diparfum ini dengan coconut notes parfum lainnya, karena jauh berbeda. Coconut yang dimaksud disini adalah Coconut Water yang jauh lebih ringan, lebih sophisticated dengan kadar manis yang pas dan memberikan nuansa yang hangat. Beralih ke drydown yang tercium lebih musky dengan sedikit aroma vanilla. Sweet and calm tapi tetap tidak kehilangan ke-eleganannya. Menurut saya reb’l fleur adalah tipe semi-heavy scent dengan sentuhan bunga dan buah yang bercampur dengan kelembutan vanilla. Buat cewek yang mulai beranjak dewasa yang ingin terlihat lebih mature, sophisticated, and sexy, this one is a go for sure! Sangat pas untuk cewek berusia 25 tahun keatas mengingat wanginya yang dewasa, bukan dewasa ala emak-emak tapi lebih tepatnya dewasa dalam berpikir dan berpenampilan. Longevity Reb’l Fleur ini sangat outstanding bisa ampe seharian asal gak mandi aja ahaha, pernah juga coba semprot di jaket sampe 5 hari masih tercium tuh wanginya. Buat saya sebagai parfum pertama Reb’l Fleur sangat tidak mengecewakan, well done Miss RiRi!!!

Listen up yall. Just finished my 100 ml bottle after having this for some years now. Wow. First of all, I have to say... out of all the celebrity fragrance creators, Rihanna is one of my top favourites. Not only do her scents have some complexity, but they last & don't smell cheaply made. They are awesome and very nice frags. So, the description says this evokes the impression of "warm skin". I can agree. This is intoxicating, warm and sweet. When I first sprayed this, off the bat I'm not gonna lie, I didn't like it because patchouli can make things smell dirty. You & I both know that. However, use this a few more times & give it a chance. I promise you that you will start to smell other notes and enjoy it! It smells like a warm syruppy sexy fragrance. There's no note in here that really stands out except for the patchouli... However if you smell closely, you will notice that the amber makes it heavy and rich, while there is plum to make it feel "dark", peach to brighten it up a lil and add sweetness & yes an addition of coconut to make it smell delicious and tropical. However, coconut nor peach stand out so need to point that out for those looking for a coconut forward frag. Overall, nice year round SWEET & sexy fragrance that has arm's length projection and 6 hr longevity on skin, 24 hrs on clothes The only thing I hate is the bumbarass bottle. The shape of the bottle is so awkward to hold when you wanna get juice out, and that's so annoying. But, alas... I love this and hope this helped you love it too!

This is by far one of the best celebrity perfumes I have smelled!! I originally bought this as a set because I was enticed by all the lotions and mini, and oh my lord when I use the set all together... its a compliment getter big time! To be completely honest, the notes and the description of the perfume do not match at all! So I will do my best to describe this perfume so more people are convinced to try it because I certainly am convinced that it is phenomenal! If you so much as touch the bottle, the scent will last all day on you, and just a couple sprays will take you 12hrs with a scent bubble that surrounds you all day! So... you will be able to smell yourself if this is distracting to you... But what is this scent? Its definitely sweet but is more overpowered by a strong incense smell, I believe the incense note is created from the combination of floral like patchouli and rose, but it is definitely not only a fruity smell. This scent is so complex and unlike no other it is definitely for a confident woman that everyone will notice. Its such a unique smell which cannot be described with any other perfume. Its sharp and potent, but floral sweet and spicy at once. For women older than 20 in my opinion, but not old, just classy (and sexy). That's the vibe it gives if you aren't into notes, I would love to see more people wearing this. Not a safe blind buy, but likeable by all those who smell you!

This is easily the best fruitchouli out there. And most definitely a celebrity scent masterpiece. Simply reading the notes set me up to severely doubt the beauty of this fragrance...so this is definitely one to try. Contrary to what everyone else says, I don't rank patchouli as any of the most dominant notes. Rest assured, this is very deliciously fruity, but in a very warm, glowing, vampy way. The plum/berry/peach/coconut mix combines with the patchouli, making a beautiful sizzling tropical explosion...but there's something else there. A hidden note, that gives me fond memories of the local hookah lounge...something dark and boozy, like the smell of shisha. Combined, we have the scent equivalent of the color copper. Warm, sweet, but with a dark undertone. It's absolutely gorgeous in the extremes of weathers; that is, in hot weather and cold weather. I wouldn't really recommend it for fairer days, because it doesn't truly come alive unless it's very hot or very cold. There's nothing more comfortable to me, though, than smelling this clinging to my scarf on a snowy day. Definitely give this a try, and open your mind. The fragrance is only as cheap as the person wearing it...but what ever the case, I find this perfume to be incredibly opulent. Opulent is the perfect word to describe it.
