Insurrection II Dark

All the 3 Reyanne Tradition Insurrection II fragrances are very good colognes. Despite what many people say, I do not consider this fragrance to be similar to Spicebomb. What I get from this fragrance are some cherry accords, sweet spices, some pineapple and none of the Spicebomb cinnamon or citrus sweetness. Insurrection II Wild is an Oriental Spicy fragrance for men, with a sweet powdery spicy scent and has its own unique smell. I like it; just because it doesn't smell like Spicebomb doesn't mean it isn't very good; this is a good cold weather fragrance. Top listed notes are cassis, bergamot, apple and pineapple; middle notes are birch, jasmine and patchouli; base notes are oakmoss, musk, amber and vanilla. In my opinion Insurrection II Dark is a manly sweet spicy fragrance with its own individuality and a very strong projection. It opens up with a slight pineapple top note, yet is quickly enveloped by a deep and mysterious mixture of sweet spicy masculine notes along with what seems to be leather. This leatherish note adds the same kind of heaviness to the body of the fragrance, just the way some leather accords do. The presence is smooth and mellow just like suede leather. I love this evolution. We can feel an accord of what seems to be dried fruits mixed with sweet spices. I get diverse fruity notes like red fruits and cherries, but all orchestrated in a deep and dark blending. The spices are very sweet - gingerbread type. I do imagine it to have cinnamon, coriander, mace, red pepper and cardamom, even if those are non listed notes. Very good inexpensive fragrance; I do recomend it;

Agree whole heartedly with Hastey and Blackandyellow. Ignore the reviews that this is a clone of Spicebomb. In this community we need to be careful with the wording we choose when leaving our personal reviews or we can be responsible for someone’s unhappy purchase. Now, this is a spicey scent, but to me it’s in its own category. Dadudelebowski a reviewer a few down below me hit the nail on the head. It’s starts off Smokey like Insurrection pure, for the first 5 minutes I get Aventus vibes, but once that subsides the smokiness and spice leave me smelling wonderful. If anything I would say that this has more in common with A-men Pure Malt (not a clone) just similarities. The only Achilles heel of this cologne is it’s questionable performance. It’s not an overly cheap cologne and is slightly hard to find also. I get between 1-3 hours depending on the day. I’d give this a solid 6.5/10 and the presentation in and out of box is how a cologne should be presented. Lastly, for some reason there’s no breakdown in here of the pyramid. Let me help you all out with that. Top Notes: Bergamot, Grapefruit, Pink pepper, Elemi resin Heart Notes: Heart Notes Saffron, Cinnamon, Paprika Base Notes: Vetiver, Tobacco, Leather

I don't know what Steven from redollescence was on when he smelled this. Let me honestly tell you guys, no, no, this does not smell anything like spice bomb. Maybe it has some pink pepper, but I don't know. This is its own unique smell. I own spice bomb and this and honestly, I love them both but I have come to love this one more. Just because it doesn't smell like spice bomb does not mean it isn't good, this is a fantastic cold weather fragrance, absolutely stunning, I love it!! It's dark, alluring, and spicy. I do pick up on a cherry vibe in this, but not what I was expecting, grown on me. It's synthetic as the price may imply, but does not smell artificial if you know what I mean, it's got character to it. Longevity: Lasts a long time on my skin and clothes. 8 Sillage: Not as good as the reviews led me to believe, but not bad. 6 Scent: Lovely. 8

I will say that the closest fragrance to relate it to is Spicebomb... But this one is spicier! Almost a Red Hot candy type of cinnamon vibe. Along the lines of Hot Damn Schnapps... Hot and sweet. The projection and lasting power is top notch! A no brainer for under $30... Nov. 01, 2025... Put this fragrance on this morning... I wrote this top post 10 years ago... And the fragrance has gotten better in time!... I love to layer it with Red Tobacco by Mancera!... People say that it does not smell like Spicebomb... It is in the same vain... Not a Dupe... In this is cinnamon forward with a cherry tobacco undertone... Well done for the price!

Very good masculine EDT. Pleasant scent in all the stages. Very nice dry down. I do like its strong cinnamon / cherry sweetness. It's just a bit dark and probably I would like it to be even darker. It's clearly a wood spicy fragrance with an oriental touch. Performance is well above average. I tried today RTD in one hand and Narciso Rodrigues for Him in the other hand. NRH is gone more than 2 hours ago and Reyane Dark still has 1 foot sillage. Hard to find such a likeable fragrance at this price (18 Euros + Vat for 100 ml).
