Reb'l Fleur

Reb'l Fleur ( Rebelle Fleur), is a french phrase that translates to Rebel Flower; the name of Rihanna's new fragrance. Like many of you know a bunch of celebrities have their own fragrance e.g. Britney Spears, Usher, Sean John (Diddy), Halle Berry, Beyonce, Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwen Stefani etc...
          
            I personally was never a perfume girl,  I spray on anything i see around and i am good to go. Now that has kind of changed. Certain fragrances have a smell that irk me. If i can remember clearly, Fragrance Diamonds &Sapphires by Elizabeth Taylor is one of them. My hatred for it probably arose from people spraying too much of it ( and saturating a small area with the smell, like being in the elevator with them) or me just realizing that i don't really like "sweet" smelling perfumes?  Nonetheless, there are some perfumes  that i am familiar with and i actually like. Like  Love by Gwen Stefani Harajuku Lovers, Brit by Burberry and Lola by Marc Jacobs.
  
             Now back to Reb'l Fleur.  Rihanna has gone a long way since her music career took off in 2005. She has had many No. 1 hits, has a very large fan base  and her style i find impeccable. Her nails are always on point, hair always leaves us (black) girls wanting more and her clothes always "wow-ing" us. I have got to say, I never know what to expect from Rihanna and she keeps me on my toes waiting for her to do the next best thing. She is definitely one of my idols! ( Just incase you didn't know). She is just one of those people that can rock anything and have many others trying to copy.  Reb'l Fleur is her next best thing i must say.

"When perfume designers first met with the 22-year-old pop star, “she would come into the meeting with a very unique smell, and people would say, ‘What are you wearing?’ and she would rattle off five fragrances that she had mixed and layered,” Frederick E. Purches, the founder of Parlux Fragrances, told the New York Times."

The first time i came across Reb'l Fleur was at Macy's. It was a coincidence that i was there on the same day it was launched. The Sales Rep. chatted my friend and I about it and of course it didn't take me too long to be sold! I love EVERYTHING Rihanna. The sales rep.  gave us portable samples which I am yet to use it because i wanna wear it out until i get my actual bottle.

"Daring, sexy and truly memorable, Reb'l Fleur is the first fragrance from Rihanna. Plump fruits, red berries, plum and juicy, ripe peaches, make a delicious first impression, while sumptuous florals and warm base notes create an impression that is defiantly sexy. Experience this unforgettable scent with the Reb'l Fleur fragrance collection for women."- Macy's. 

Macy's sell the 3.4oz bottle for $59.00 and the 1.7 oz for $49.00 ( i don't think anyone would wanna buy      half the size of the big one with a $10 difference). When i was at Macy's they were also giving out this cute black zippered clutch for FREE with a purchase of a 3.4 oz bottle.

Lastly, her Reb'l Fleur  video ad was just released two days ago (Feb 10th). Its very unique and very Rihanna and i like that aspect of it but  I find it a tad bit lengthy. Then again i have the attention span of a snail. .

I will definitely get this fragrance sooner or later. I have read some pretty good reviews about it. I love Rihanna and i love the way Reb'l Fleur smells. Like i said earlier, i do not have a lot of experience with perfumes so you cannot fully rely on my review/opinion on it.
