Insurrection II Pure By Reyane Tradition for Men - Eau de Toilette, 100ml

I was pleasenly surprised when Insurrection pure 2, was delivered. For under £30 you get a really nice scent!!! It doesn't smell cheap at all!! I initially got it as I fell in love with Creed aventus and wanted a cheaper alternative, I would say that the Pure 2 does bare a resemblance to creed, all be it a very small one. The pure 2 is much smokier than creed, where creed is very refined, potent (because of the Ambergris) so Pure 2 does not last anywhere near as long as creed. So is this a perfect Clone of Creed? I would say No and if you like creed get creed as nothing can really compare to it.. But is pure2 a really great smell at a very reasonable price? Hell Yeh!!! I have both pure 2 and creed at home. I use the pure 2 as my 'every day smell' and just keep the creed for going out. People at work have noticed the pure two, when I wear it, and I do get a lot of compliments throughout the day. It's definitely a very good product!! I used to wear Chanel allure, for my day smell, but switched to the pure as I just love the smell. And for its price, although it's much weaker than Creed, you can just touch it up with a re spray throughout the day. Over all this insurrection pure 2 is a really nice smell and great value for money!! The presentation box and bottle of this product is also very good quality, which makes it a great Christmas present.

Not going to compare this to Aventus, this review is on this product on it's own. If I had to compare this to a designer scent I would say it's somewhat similar to Gucci by Gucci (now known as just Gucci pour homme) with birch added to it. It's about department store designer fragrance quality to it. For some that is not good at all, but for 99% of people they will never know or appreciate $500 niche quality fragrances. I can see why others say this is a year round fragrance. I imagine in the heat the freshness will stand out, whereas in the winter the smoky birch will stand out more. I would personally use this as a daytime/warm weather fragrance, I prefer a more incense/frankincense smoky in the winter such as acqua di gio profumo. I also prefer a fresher fruity vanilla like versace eros in the dead hot summer or a fruity aquatic like bleu de chanel. This is a good spring scent to match the freshness in bloom and a better fall scent to match the smoky feel to the changing colors. I would not recommend this as a work fragrance because it is very strong, unless you use one spray as a mist over you to keep it weak. I prefer softer, somewhat inoffensive (some may say generic) scents for work like boss the scent or the previously mentioned gucci by gucci. The workplace is not a place for a loud fragrance. This fragrance will get noticed, it is unique in a way. It's along the lines of common scents, but it straddles that line with a very loud smoky birch. That being said I do recommend a purchase if the way I've described it sounds like a hit for you. The bottle and packaging are beautiful and so far work wonderfully. The spayer let's out a consistent stream and feels sturdy. I bought directly from Amazon and can attest that the product I received was in original packaging and authentic from this posting. I know there are many others posting with similar prices, I can't speak for them, but this one is legit. Also, I received it 4 business days after purchasing it with free 5-8 day shipping with an order over $49 and the option for as few shipments as possible. I actually got it alone and the day I received it I got an email saying everything else I ordered is just now being shipped and will arrive in 3 more business days. I wasn't expecting such fast shipping. Within hours it was on it's way from southern Florida. Thanks for reading my review, I wish you the best. Also, try acqua di gio profumo, it's by far the best fragrance I've ever smelled. It's relatively expensive but worth every penny. It never fails to get compliments and I love getting a scent of it throughout the day.

Received it much before time.Thanks to the seller.Perfume is good in itself,though can't say if it smells like Creed Aventus (haven't smelt it yet).

Odeur de senteur agréable et douce. Mon mari l'a beaucoup apprécié et veut l'adopter. Ce serait pour la prochaine commande
