Gritti Black Rebellion is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Luca Gritti. Black Rebellion opens with Lemon Zest, Bergamot, and Mint, settles into a heart of Shiso, Fruity Notes, and Cypress, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Ambergris. Gritti's Black Rebellion carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A fresh, clean blast of green citrus with a woody-amber backbone, Black Rebellion is a crowd-pleasing, versatile scent that evokes 'blue fragrance' vibes but carves its own slightly greener path. It's safe, but in a good way.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It kicks off with a sharp, invigorating hit of lemon zest, bergamot, and a whisper of mint, quickly transitioning into a crisp, leafy green heart of shiso and cypress. A subtle fruity sweetness peeks through before settling into a sophisticated base of earthy patchouli, mossy oakmoss, and a mineralic ambergris that gives it a clean, lasting depth. This is a "green blue" fragrance - familiar yet distinctive.
