The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2018 by Victoria's Secret and crafted by perfumer Stephen Nilsen, Tease Rebel is an Oriental Floral fragrance that teeters between the unexpected and the familiar. The ozonic and aquatic notes open with a fresh burst of energy, creating a sense of playfulness and rebellion. This freshness gives way to a heart of violet and rose, balancing the composition with floral warmth. The base notes of leather and animalic accords add depth and mystery, grounding the scent in a powdery, sensual finish.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a strong presence, as it blooms beautifully on skin. The ozonic and aquatic notes are brief but impactful, so layering it can enhance the longevity of its powdery and floral heart.
