John Varvatos Dark Rebel Rider Cologne by John Varvatos, Throw on your leather jacket and ride off into the sunset with John Varvatos Dark Rebel Rider, an addictive men’s fragrance. This robust cologne combines balsamic, woody and powdery accords for a distinct and original blend that’s perfect for demonstrating your unique personality and old-soul ideals. Top notes of hyssop, marjoram, bitter orange, bright saffron and various aldehydes open the aroma with a fresh and exotic burst of ingredients plucked straight from nature. Middle notes of Tolu balsam, olibanum, resins and earthy orris root are enhanced by the floral bouquet of Rock rose, black violet and osmanthus. Completing the scent are base notes of heady patchouli, Atlas cedar, smooth Russian leather, cacao powder, sweet vanilla and a myriad of woody notes for a seductive, purely masculine element that intrigues as much as it attracts.

Launched in 2016 by American-based designer John Varvatos, the dark matte black flacon with metal accents perfectly fits the image of the cross-country rider lost in the simplicity of the open country. All products are original, authentic name brands. We do not sell knockoffs or imitations.

Hey, y'all! Justin here, and today I'll be reviewing John Varvatos Dark Rebel Rider. Now, this flanker for Varvatos Dark Rebel fragrance is designed to invoke motorcycle culture in the way that the bottle's presented. Now the main note in this fragrance is leather, though resin and cacao both significant as well. The scent opens with an aldehydic woody leather that softens into a sweeter dirty leather. Now amber joins a party, and other notes include vanilla, patchouli. rose, and marjoram. Overall, a great night fragrance for all and winter. All right. That's all for now.

Great scent, my wife loves it and it lasts 5-6 hours on me!

Starts out as a darker fresh scent, has some citrusy notes, but those go away pretty quickly and you're left with a nice, sweet, and leathery smell that makes you feel like that man that can get any girl. It almost smells like Dr. Pepper to me, so HUGE plus. I do feel like it could project a little

better, but for less than $35, 4.2 oz is a FANTASTIC deal. I think this is a must have for your collection, especially if you like darker scents.

Little dissapointed, name is misleading

Smells like a more powdery version of obsession. Nothing "dark rebel rider" about it. It's a good quality scent, but for me the name mislead me and I always hated the way obsession smelled

My favorite fragrance

Great fragrance, but it doesn't suit everyone. You love it or hate it. It's very specific...who loves smell of burned rubber? I didn't like it when tested it first time. After a few tests later I fell in love and can't stop loving it.

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Better than expected

Actually meant to get regular Dark Rebel, but this was a pleasant surprise for sure. Accidentally found a new favorite. Definitely a legit product, packaging & quality are plenty to tell that, also arrived on time and in perfect shape.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Dark, Masculine & Sexy

Dark, masculine and sexy. Best used at night but suitable anytime if you have the confidence to pull it off. A flanker to the now discontinued John Varvatos Dark Rebel fragrance , it is the closest you will get to the original with a similar performance. Like all John Varvatos fragrances, great quality to price ratio but bad performance.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

beautiful, long lasting fragrance

bought for husband...he has had a bottle before (great packaging btw) and loved it, but it's normally impossible to get hold of, so i was thrilled when i found John Vavartos on your fantastic site! it smells amazing, musky, earthy and a little spice in there too....i must admit i have a sneaky spray too sometimes, don't think it's too much for a woman. Also, importantly, the fragrance lasts and lasts, no need to top up during the day; will be returning for more!

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Terrific Leather Scent

Great dark attire fragrance. More suitable in evenings and cooler weather. Very masculine. I get at least six hours longevity before it becomes a skin scent. For the price point what more could you ask for.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

I love it, my wife loves it!

My wife just told me that "I smell like a cigar factory on. Pirate ship." Literally, that's a quote. And that's a good thing to her BTW. Very masculine, but not overpowering. You can put it on, go out in public, and not overpower anyone on public transit. We both love it, and I think this is my new scent.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

sexy and very masculine

as an 86 year old women it reminded me of the the most sensual years of my life married 55 years to a real guy. I would hardly use it except as a reminder but it would be extravagant to buy it for that and i am out of lovers. My young grandson would not understand but I might tell him about it.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
