Rebel Eau de Toilette, Aftershave, Rebel Fragrance, 100ml

Superb smell! It's modest and easy-going but still mature and masculine. A lovely casual wear for all occasions and most types of weather, definitely more of a spring smell.

I discovered this brand after searching for a fragrance that's soapy, contains citrus notes and easy to grab and go, it's exactly that (especially from a house that makes soaps) and for the price it was well worth it! I'm a big fan of the mandarin that's mellowed out by the patchouli, the described middle note of marine in there definitely elevates the sharpness and freshness but I do wish the note breakdown was a little more specific. Weirdly it reminded me a little bit of my YSL Y clone, since it's got sort of a sparkly citrus punch opening and then evens out to a warmer base, with Rebel being less woody of course.

Performance is as expected for an eau de toilette from a house that doesn't specialise in perfumes, that's not to say the oils used aren't quality though! It's got a strong opening for up to 5 mins on my skin, then sticks around as a nice skin smell for roughly 6 - 7 hours (depending on how many sprays you use). You get occasional whiffs here and there so it makes it's presence known which is a pleasant reminder and it definitely doesn't smell synthetic.
For the price of £20, this is a steal! I'm also interested in potentially trying their other mens fragrance, French Belom!

I also really appreciated the addition of a complementary bar of patchouli soap, thanks!
