Our verdict on Rebus: Acquired

Rebus is a truly polarising scent; a bold, challenging oud that divides opinion between 'fecal beast' and 'irresistibly sexy body odour'. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who dare might just find their new signature.

Given its strong projection and often-described 'challenging' opening, Rebus is unsuitable for office wear. Its unique and sensual animalic quality makes it intriguing for dates and formal evening events, though its performance might be too much for casual daytime wear.

About

Rebus opens with a perplexing blast of green galbanum and bright lemon, quickly giving way to a perplexing, animalic oud. The initial, somewhat 'challenging' aroma gradually settles into a more approachable, powdery violet and iris, intertwined with a creamy sandalwood and warm amber base. It’s a shapeshifter, constantly evolving on the skin, an aromatic enigma.
