Tease Rebel

I currently have this listed as my signature scent, although to be honest, I don’t really have a signature scent since I like to wear different fragrances based on mood, season, events, etc. But if I were to have one, Tease Rebel would probably be it, or at least one of them! I just love it so much! It’s soft, clean, and powdery with a nice leather tie-in to give it some grounding. I feel a certain feminine confidence when I wear this. It’s not really a feeling of rebelliousness though. I suspect the name comes from its being a different sort of fragrance than what Victoria’s Secret typically offers; in which case, it IS a rebel. This perfume is also a safe-for-work fragrance, which is another reason I tend to gravitate to it so often. It’s definitely an easy choice for when you need something inoffensive, versatile, but also pretty. Love, love, love my Tease Rebel.

oh. my. god. THIS is the scent I've been searching for, and I can't believe I've found it at VS of all places--not because I don't like their scents (I do) but just that this is such a specific and niche scent profile I've been yearning after. To put it simply, to my nose, on my skin, this smells EXACTLY like the glossy page of a fashion magazine. If you know, you know. I literally feel like I'm burying my nose into a brand new copy of vogue that just came in the mail. There's the SLIGHTEST hint of something green (I'm guessing the volet leaf) but I only smell it if I try. Even so, this is by far the most "magazine" perfume I've found, and I couldn't be happier. Will be stopping by the outlet for a bigger backup bottle asap 😅 I can't help it!! Seriously might be a new signature scent for me.

My Mom picked this out for me when we were shopping a few year ago and I absolutely fell in love with it. The guy I was dating at the time couldn't keep his hands off me and kept smelling my hair when i wore this out on the town. Have great memories with this beautiful and delightful fragrance. It's nice to re-visit this one, will definitely be ordering a new bottle soon. Still amazed by the versatility of this fragrance

The initial spray is a lovely burst floral with violet being the main flower. The leather / suede isn't very string initially, but it does provide a neat base for the violet to expand from. It's almost powdery, but not quite, and sensual. It's a simple but great fragrance. The dry down is a bit of a downgrade, as (for me at least) it starts smelling like a few flowers were put in a new car with leather seats. I personally like the way new cars smell, so it's not jarring for me, but it definitely is a small disappointment considering the initial smell out of the bottle. To be honest, this perfume is ANYTHING but rebellious and is pretty tame. It's still overall a good feminine and pretty spring-time fragrance and I can still smell it on my skin and clothes after ~8 hours of wearing it.

I honestly think the rebel quality is the white leather note. Leather notes in general are common in mens fragrance but not womens...therefore it's "rebellious" quality. It's the note that speaks loudest when I wear it. However, this fragrance is not loud at all. This is just a touch more than a skin scent on me, though it lasts moderately well. I definitely get both the powdery fresh quality of the violet & the green note of the violet leaf and then the rose (light fresh almost pink rose water like) seems to anchor this fragrance peeking thru every now & then. There is nothing offensive about this rebel. She's almost the shy wallflower type who just is having a slightly rebellious moment cloaked in her white leather jacket over her sundress.
