Which Should You Buy?
Rebelle is one of those divisive beasts you either adore or absolutely loathe. When it works, it's a luscious, boozy gourmand. When it doesn't, it's a muddy, patchouli-laden mess. Definitely try before you buy this one.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection and gourmand accords make it less suitable for the office, but its bold, sensual nature is perfect for date nights and evening events. For casual wear, a light hand is needed, especially in colder weather as many describe it as a 'winter' or 'Christmas' scent.
Seasons
Best in autumn and winter - the coffee, warm spicy profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for evening and daily - the coffee accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
