Rebel + Mercury is a Seattle-based natural perfume line. I haven’t worn all of the Rebel + Mercury perfumes on the skin but I can tell you at this time, Cerise en Cocoa is my absolute favorite.
Cerise en Cocoa is a rich fragrance that opens with cherry liquor and a bouquet of roses with a lift of sweet grapefruit. With time, the fragrance becomes even juicier and richer. It’s decadent. The base is a dry, earthy cocoa powder and black tea with rose petals.
Cereis en Cocoa is naturally delicious. It’s gourmand but not overly sweet.
Notes listed ruby red grapefruit, osmanthus, red and white roses, cocoa and vetiver.
Give Cerise en Cocoa a try if you love osmanthus or are looking for a grown-up cherry fragrance. Try it if you like CdG PLAY Red, Annick Goutal Quel Amour!, Fresh Sake and/or LUSH 1000 Kisses Deep.
Cerise en Cocoa has average projection and above average longevity. I’m amazed at how long it lasts on my skin.
Cerise en Cocoa comes in a few sizes and in a few different concentrations. I reviewed the pure parfum that retails for $70 at Rebel + Mercury. Samples are also available for purchase.
Victoria’s Final EauPINION – A naturally delicious cherry osmanthus with the earthiness of cocoa. If you don’t know where to start sampling with the Rebel + Mercury line, start with this one.
