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!
Im not the biggest fan of floral scents.... or maybe Ive just been unlucky with the ones I have come across, but this is one that I really like! It comes closely behind Nude. This one is also a bit stronger then her other ones. But I like that because its become my mood perfume when Im feeling a bit edgy or or like standing out a bit more
