Rebellion through softness?

To my nose, this definitely is a powdery cherry-almond and rose scent. It's not the same as Loukhoum and not even very similar, but both are in the same scent family and from the same house, and Loukhoum is such a reference scent for sweet almond and rose that it's hard not to compare these two. I like Rebel Hearts, but I like Loukhoum's special opulence even more.

Rebel Hearts is sweet, but not as extremely gourmand as Loukhoum, and its powdery notes are airier and fluffier.
It starts with a very recognizable amaretto note and a hint of syrupy cherry. It's warm and enveloping, but there is a hint of almost leathery bitterness underneath it, too, which comes from the patchouli. The jammy rose slowly blends in with the amaretto. Before I revisited the notes list I thought there would be some iris in this, because there is a dusting of smooth powder that keeps the scent from going too far into the boozy or syrupy direction.

This is not a rebellious fragrance at all, I find it very pretty and cozy. The only way I can explain the name is that it could describe a rebellion against the crudeness of the world from the depths of a soft and vulnerable heart. But maybe I'm over-analyzing this and the name is just a little off. It's a good scent either way.

Wild at heart

"Rebel hearts" is a fragrance that evokes the image of the egg-laying wool-milk sow in its entire composition, because it can do everything: fresh. Gourmand. Floral. Earthy. Sweet. Resinous.
A fragrance must actually imitate it, and perhaps that is why it is called "Rebel hearts": He talks about rebelling against categories, about thinking outside the box and not getting stuck in a drawer.
And it's beautiful. Its most important characteristic: it remains infinitely tender throughout the entire duration of its development. This, however, is shown in the pyramid according to the textbook, and all that is needed is an explanation of how long the individual components last:
The citrusy opening is very delicate, not at all comparable to a citrusy refreshment as summer scents often are. Two components immediately flow into this prelude: an almond-like note, which actually comes quite close to Amaretto, but blends directly with a fine, classic rose scent. In this blend, the fragrance is very reminiscent of fine cakes, which play with almond and rose aromas. But it never reminds of marzipan, which combines almond and rose water. This is due to the missing sugary impression that "Rebel Hearts" actually leaves out. Thus, what is recognizable in Amaretto as a top note, when you don't drink it but only smell it on the glass and thus don't taste any real sweetness, remains dominant from the outset: bitter almond-like nuances, which mix grandiosely with the rich, ripe flowery abundance of roses. At the same time, however, and this is not immediately obvious, the actual heart of the fragrance becomes clear: Patchouly. Without a doubt, it takes the lead in "Rebel Hearts", pushing itself dominantly to the fore, which is never disturbing, as the entire fragrance itself remains very, very delicate and rather body-hugging. With Patchouly, a harsh, dark depth penetrates into this fragrance, which is perfectly compatible with the dark rose, or perhaps it is only through this that it is freed from its spring-like radiance. This makes the almond rose round and full and velvety, and this impression is consolidated for hours with a completely discreet sillage. The gourmand notes are barely perceptible in the finish; the perfume lacks sweetness, as they are also weighed down by the silky resinous amber note. I actually perceive the transition to a soft resinous note rather than a stronger vanilla accentuation.
All in all, as already mentioned, "Rebel Hearts" fulfills almost all perfume needs (except for the green-woody ones) and thus speaks of a new generation of perfume consumers, especially female ones, who are characterized by a truly refreshing non-conformism. Wild at heart, in keeping with its clientele, "Rebel Hearts" is indeed there: through the dominant patchouli note, which first turns the world upside down in this fragrance, disappointing all expectations of a flowery-sweet scent that you might have had at the opening, and contrasting it with a strong earthiness. A fragrance for patchouli lovers*
