Down points: It does start of a little too sweet, for my taste, but that’s just me, however I’m sure others may love it. The opening smells like anise seed and I’m not a big fan of that black liquorice smell, and the dry down just smells like a cheap spicebomb clone. It is an exciting moment every time blind purchases arrive, so I opened the quite large package with excitement.

The fragrance as new costs as well known not the world, although he was a few years ago even cheaper. Love this one, but there's no denying that it doesn't have a lot going on in terms of notes at the forefront. It will become a very interesting, inviting and quite pleasing aroma of black cherries, vanilla and a hint of tobacco. I came across this on here while looking for fragrances similar to London and Shock, which Insurrection II Wild surely is close to both, and I'm glad I did.

I still keep smelling myself every 5 minutes out of curiosity and I do like it but it’s sweetness is consuming a bit of the tobacco feel.

Longevity Issues: If your skin is dry, then fragrance oils cannot fully penetrate your skin and will evaporate easily, as opposed to if you have oiler skin. I'm not one to get distracted by openings, which are brief and limited, gotta allow for the dry down, which is the whole show for me.But as he comes along, packed in a slipcase, which is reminiscent of a Bible, can already be amazed. Update I was able to finally track down an early batch of Pure Havane and this Insurrection is no comparison. About 15-20 minutes later I was getting whiffs of something I wasn’t sure of (I just received 3 perfumes in the mail, I was confused as to which one I was smelling) and I smelled the spot of my arm which I sprayed this and omg.

Reyane Insurrection Wild II is a heady and powerful sweet tobacco forward cologne with a punchy opening that has slight touches of vanilla and honey, but come on, sweet tobacco is the star of the show here. On skin it projects really well with that similar Pure Havane feel for about 3 hours then it becomes a skin scent for another 2 hours. Initial sprays are a touch more synthetic than Havane, but very rapidly that gorgeous cherry aroma wafts into place, and here with Insurrection II Wild, you can still smell that addictive aroma all day long, whereas with Havane reformulations it goes on a wander within an hour on my skin. The only mild complaint I have is that is can sometimes hit a little too sweet and sugary, but that's really not that surprising given the notes.The cover, complete with 'title/author/summary' in dark brown color, then the 'pages' in yellow and a brown ribbon sticking out, which functions as inlay/indicator of where you stopped reading before as to continue reading easily without the hassle of trying to remember where you left off.

Please understand that you are purchasing only a SAMPLE of your choosing and NOT the original bottle. However, you can definitely smell the cheapness of it, especially the vanilla in it, if you smell it too close it can give you a headache. THE BEST "Value for money" Men's frag on the market today (according to my bottle) - though it lacks some in longevity. So, be a smooth operator and spray it on (responsibly) during a cool winter or fall evening and just chill for a little while. The funny thing is, I met up with a buddy about 30 minutes after I bought this bottle and applied a spritz to the back of my hand.

Warning ⚠️ for people who want to test this never test it on a strip or paper, this is a skin test fragrance.
