I was dumbfounded because the scent was one of the most gorgeous tobacco scents I'd ever smelled (and probably one of the first). God bless Reyane Tradition for producing such an EXQUISITE product for mere pennies compared to its absurdly expensive competition. Do not intentionally damage the product or try to change product as all perfumes have there codes printed below box. Manufacturer Reyane is a French maker that seems to specialize in affordable clones, a market area that is usually occupied by Middle Eastern fragrance producers and they are pretty much unknown.

It's more like Burberry London for Men but less sharp, softer, sweeter, cosier, to me it comes across more refined, smoother, gentler. after Naxos edit: wow this is close, obviously, Naxos smells richer, dressed up, and expensive but this does a pretty good job at getting that honey sweetness, not bad at all, and will hold out on that 8 to 8. 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.As an avid fragrance user and a long time fan of the Thierry Mugler 'Pure' range for men, and having written extensive reference pieces on the history of those fragrances online, I came to this fragrance after seeing numerous reviews and online videos. I'm wearing it for the first time today to work, so I'll try to remember to update this review later once I get a full day's wear out of it, so I know what the full performance is like.

The Tobacco reminds me of Versace Dreamer, but with warm spices accords and the cherry sweetness is not overpowering but done right. Pure Havane is still my favorite, but if I was challenged to tell them apart I would almost certainly be completely guessing. The most significant difference in terms of smell is that Insurrection II Wild is a bit thinner and/or less dense than Pure Havane.At try-down, the fragrance took on a warm, bittersweet, vanilla-like, slightly resinous amber aroma with a sharp ash chord. A bracingly medicinal cherry accord serves as the backbone of this aromatic woody-herbal tonkabacco, which offers a central accord reminiscent of Bogart pour Homme, Mugler Pure Havane, and Xerjoff Naxos. I have no idea what cherry pipe tobacco smells like, but if it smells anything like this then it must be amazing too?

He is in his mid-thirties and familiar with rich and earthy perfumes and especially Middle Eastern perfumery . The scent experience was accompanied by the woody essence of birch, which supported the other scent components excellently. I’m still new to tobacco scents, so maybe I was just thrown off at the type of tobacco that comes across in this one. 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.

I bought a bottle, not expecting it to come anywhere near the gorgeous aromas and complexity of Pure Havane, which by the way is my all time favourite fragrance and was my signature scent. But in my experience they all serve to flank the ever-present cherry tobacco note, and the balance/mixing is really pleasant.

Good performance and nothing to dislike - it even comes in a gift-worthy presentation box and the bottle is a rather satisfying shape. While you could get other tobacco/vanilla type fragrances, many of them are quite a bit more expensive than this.

I've been on the hunt for the perfect tobacco scent, and unfortunately have yet to find what I am looking for. With full anticipation I unpacked the package and was again excited about this noble packaging with a small golden ribbon on it, so that you can pull out the perfume. Spoiler alert: Insurrection II Wild is totally awesome, addictive, intoxicating and easily as good as reformulated Pure Havane, possibly as good as the original formula, but with a few differences. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . If I want to oomph it up with some extra spices and richness, I go on top of it with Cremo's Spice and Black Vanilla.

Dry down is still heavy tobacco (something like Aramis Tobacco) with some spices and some woodsy notes floating in the air. Suitable for both day and evening wear, Insurrection II Wild is a great choice for a signature scent, best if worn during cold weather from late Autumn thru all early Spring. In the drydown, I personally can no longer detect any significant change and the scent remains consistently tobacco cherry-sweet. 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.
