Shortly after I noticed that I hadn't bought a new fragrance in a while, I immediately went out and purchased Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna ($49 for 1.7 oz ; $59 for 3.4 oz). I don't purchase too many celebrity scents (last one I bought was by Jennifer Lopez) because after a while, they all seem to follow the same "formula" - different celebrity, different name, different bottle but same fragrance.

The Beauty Closet: Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna Review

Rihanna Continues Reign with Reb'l Fleur Fragrance in February 2011
Editor's note: I bought and review Reb'l Fleur.
Although several sources are reporting that Rihanna's "Reb'l Fleur" fragrance will officially rule the shelves come February 2011, some customers have reported that their Macy's have it in stock already.
Described as "daring, sexy and truly memorable," Reb'l Fleur was created in collaboration with Carolina Sabas and Marypierre Julien of Givaudan. Although Reb'l Fleur is touted as "an intense and daring fruity chypre" with "sophisticated florals" such as tuberose, violet, and hibiscus, Sabas and Julien managed to infuse a bit of Caribbean flair to the "daring and sexy" scent. A "splash of coconut water" was added to pay homage to Rihanna's hometown of St. Michael, Barbados. It is rumored that the Reb'l Fleur's drydown is reminiscent of Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb. However, this depends on the individual and of course, the perfume.
While Rihanna boasted that her "runway never looked so clear," the inspiration behind the Reb'l Fleur's bottle design is not. While I understand that the strategic onyx and topaz pattern engraved on the bottle is supposed to resemble a high heel, I still find it odd. However, the interlocking rings on the bottom of the stopper (also onxy and topaz) are a nice touch. I guess the pattern on the box is supposed to be a high heel as well?
Are you ready to add Reb'l Fleur to your growing collection of celebrity scents or perhaps you're waiting for Rihanna to "take a bow" and focus on "fading?" Reb'l Fleur will be the latest addition to the growing Parlux fragrance family.
