Rebel Rosebud Eau de Toilette
by The Body Shop
Rebel Rosebud Eau de Toilette offers an airy, sweet, and unexpectedly complex profile that evokes the refined sweetness of Baccarat Rouge 540 without its signature rubbery quality. The rose note is present but subdued, blending into a multidimensional balance of soft herbal warmth, spicy saffron, and a cool, faintly metallic amber base. The fragrance performs well in terms of longevity, projecting moderately to strongly for several hours and leaving a delicate, lingering warmth. It carries a slightly chewy, syrupy sweetness that some note as reminiscent of lychee or blackcurrant, creating an alluring, layered effect without overwhelming sweetness. The overall impression is of a delicate yet surprisingly strong fragrance that feels more expensive than its price suggests.
Pros
- +Strong, well-balanced sillage that lingers moderately to strongly
- +Surprisingly good longevity for a budget fragrance
- +A refined, almost niche-like quality with a unique sweet-woody-amber accord
Cons
- −Rose note is not dominant or true-to-type, making it unsuitable for rose enthusiasts
- −Sweetness is dense and sticky, which may not suit those who prefer light or clean scents
- −No clear male appeal despite being unisex in potential, with strong associations to feminine and nocturnal wear
