Rodrigo Flores-Roux

"Dark Rebel is a dark, smoky amber-woody fragrance created for men. Its character is built around boozy rum, sweet sugar cane, aromatic herbs, and warming spices. The heart introduces leather, fir resin, pepper, and styrax for a dense, resinous profile. Tobacco leaf, woods, castoreum, vanilla, and juniper form a deep and slightly animalic drydown. The overall effect is rebellious, sensual, and distinctly suited to cooler weather and evening wear."

Reviews Summary

“Dark Rebel is generally experienced as a smoky, boozy, leather-and-wood fragrance with a rebellious autumn and winter character. Reviewers commonly highlight the interplay of rum, tobacco, leather, resinous woods, and sweetness. It is assertive and atmospheric rather than a versatile fresh daytime scent, making it especially effective for evenings and cooler conditions.”
