Dark Rebel

Dark Rebel, a Smoky Leather for Men

Dark Rebel is a smoky, leathery scent with a rebellious streak. Our version keeps that feel, opening with warm rum before a leather and tobacco heart settles over smoky amber and woods.

The Story Behind the Scent

John Varvatos built Dark Rebel around a rock and roll spirit, all leather, smoke, and swagger. The idea was rugged masculinity with attitude.

That bold smokiness is its appeal. The rum gives it a boozy warmth, the leather and tobacco make it rugged, and the amber makes it smoky. Our interpretation follows that same bold path.
