Brut Revolution

THE SHORTEST REVOLUTION IN HISTORY: The scent is nice, it's real masculine but not in an overpowering or offensive way. This cologne falls flat on its face when it comes to longevity and sillage and it shocked me when I realized this because I figured that if it's a Brut cologne it would hit and hit strong. Honestly this would be a fantastic cologne if it lasted longer I just can't recommend buying something that you would have to drown in to smell it after an hour and a half.

Yep, I too got it at Big Lots, $4 for 2.5 ounces. Not a bad fragrance at this price point. However, its longevity is lacking. I decided to move on from this fragrance and gave it to my 16 year old son. He seems to like it! Opens with lots of pepper and some pear, but settles down to a pleasant marine scent. The base notes are very subtle at best. It's great for Summer, shorts & flip flops, casual, and day wear. If you can get it for < $5, consider giving it a try.

Seems like a aqua-like vetiver to me. Linear, does not change from beginning to end.

smell nice, cool, ideal for use during the day

Before this all became a hobby, I was frequently buying plastic bottles of BRUT cologne and aftershave from the now discontinued “Army & Navy” stores here in BC. On a side note, they celebrated 100 years of operation in 2020 before shutting down forever. Anyhow they would often have a variety of BRUT product, being a discount retailer, the green cologne bottle looked identical to the aftershave bottle save that the cologne had an atomizer, which eventually would stop. So I saw Revolution and bought the set, the aftershave was nice and the cologne was ok as well, I believe I paid six dollars each for this BRUT upgrade. I would discover of course this had nothing to do with BRUT original, and in my basic fragrance world it would be my new “fancy” scent. This is really not a review as much as a story, the scent is exactly as others below describe. I just find my own journey into this hobby something others might have experienced. Perhaps due to finances, and not having the grey market back then, the thought of buying anything that cost over fifty dollars would be taboo. Yet the gentleman in my life indicated that one should wear a fragrance, so I did what I could to keep that tradition in the most budget way possible. Funny enough this must have come and went in a flash, as it was in Army & Navy shortly after its release.
