Electric Rebel

Electric Rebel opens with a bite. Black pepper hits first, dry and warm, and sage follows with a green, herbal coolness that gives the spice a spark. After this sharp start, the scent turns earthy. Truffle gives a rich, savoury, slightly mushroomy depth that is unusual and memorable, and woody notes support it like a dark backdrop. The finish brings in the sweetness. Vanilla comes in thick and smooth, and frankincense lays a layer of smoke on top, so the sweetness feels grown-up instead of sugary. The jump from pepper to vanilla is gradual, and the earthy middle keeps everything interesting. At 30 percent extrait strength it holds for many hours and has a firm, steady presence. It is a very good evening scent for autumn and winter. Try it for bars, parties, concerts and dates, or with dark denim and leather. Two sprays are enough. Bottom line: a peppery, truffle-dark scent that finishes in smoky vanilla, made for the night.
