Police To Be Rebel is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016. To Be Rebel opens with Grapefruit, Violet Leaf, Pepper, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Orange Blossom, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Clean Musk, and Amberwood. Police's To Be Rebel carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a fun, youthful scent that's often compared to Versace Eros but with its own fruity, aquatic twist. It's a solid cheapie that over-performs for the price, though some find it a bit too sweet or just 'okay'.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with a youthful, sweet profile, make it ideal for casual daytime wear or clubbing. It's a bit too playful for formal events and might be too energetic for a professional office setting.

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

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

To Be Rebel opens with a bright, zesty hit of grapefruit and violet leaf, sharpened by a subtle spice from pepper and nutmeg. The heart introduces a refreshing sea breeze quality, mingling with the clean floral touch of orange blossom and the aromatic freshness of sage. It dries down to a masculine base of earthy vetiver, clean musk, and a modern amberwood warmth.
