Insurrection II Wild

A TOBACCO-SWEET PREMIUM OUTSIDER Many people have asked themselves the inevitable question of whether or not to buy a clone. Sometimes it's a good choice, with price and availability being the top two reasons. Is it justified? Well, in my opinion, it is always justifiable if the inspiring fragrance is discontinued. Wild Insurrection II is a dupe for "A*Men Pure Havane" by Thierry Mugler. Reyanne Tradition did well with this inspired fragrance and I bought it after reading so much praise about it. I have tried to overcome Mugler EdT's low availability for a period of time. I currently have two bottles of Pure Havane, but it is almost impossible to get it anywhere since three years ago. I admit I didn't expect to be so pleased with this perfume. Due to my so good opinion when buying "Insurrection II Wild", I also decide to buy the Dark and Pure editions out of sheer curiosity. YZY - owners of the Reyane Tradition brand - is a disoriented group. They haven't decided yet whether to make niche perfumes or cheap clone designs. With the Insurrection II series and some niche-quality fragrances like "Acqua di Parisis", they have grown an above-average number of designer clones. I think their customers are confused too. I consider all three Insurrection II offerings for men to be above-average designer perfumes. Some other good YZY fragrances fell by the wayside. I find this scent to be very linear, a bit spicy, and less sweet than expected. It's definitely a masculine fragrance. It presents some sweetness with honey and vanilla, some balsamic chords with styrax and labdanum, and some earthy notes with patchouli and seductive moist tobacco. I am only suggesting the notes taken by my nose. This perfume is pleasantly comfortable and calls for a good cognac after a lively dinner with close friends. It creates a cosy atmosphere and attracts the attention of both sexes. It has an excellent price/performance ratio. I will try to explain why with my ratings: My math for "Insurrection II Wild | Reyane Tradition": ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ Opening: 8.5 (moist aromatic tobacco, sweetened with honey and vanilla) Drying: 8.0 (shades of earthy patchouli and amber) Longevity: 7.5 (Up to 7~8 hours with 3 sprays) Silage: 7.5 (top silage with 5 to 6 feet radius and projects for 2 hours) Portability 8.5 (avoid hot days; very good for almost any other type of weather, either day or night) Versatility: 8.5 (Some people claim that Insurrection II Wild is sexy as hell. I disagree with its sexiness features for some noses. To me, the sweet and strong smell of tobacco suggests a noisy encounter with friends. Without a doubt, this is a versatile fragrance.) Praise: 9.0 (very serious praise from both sexes; it really gets everyone's attention) Exclusivity: 7.5 (not 10 as it is a dupe Pure Havane, although a very good one as it performs better and costs several times less) Quality: 8.0 (doesn't smell cheap; the compliments and comments I've received must mean something) Presentation: 7.5 (Ok bottle (almost nice), but unattractive box) Price: 9.5 (€ 20.00 per 90 ml + shipping) ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ Average: 8.22 / 10.00 - between 8 and 9 = recommended; Comment on "Insurrection II" by Reyane Tradition: I usually don't like praising clones. This perfume is supposed to clone "A*Men Pure Havane by Thierry Mugler. However, it's less sweet and more powerful. It also resembles XJ 1861 Naxos by XerJoff". In short, it is a cheap, pleasant, and manly smell of moist tobacco. I only recommend it based on that. Music: Suzi Quatro - "Can The Can"

Insurrection II Wild is a pipe-style spicy tobacco fragrance infused with syrupy honey and creamy vanilla, punctuated by cherry and cocoa facets. It is also quite smooth and dessert-like, lightly gourmand, sweet, and smoky. Its initial smell is slightly medicinal, resembling a cough syrup, although this dissipates after a few minutes. One might associate this whole image with a jazz pub, the air thick with pipe smoke and honeyed warmth. Its biggest flaw (at least for me) is its one-dimensionality; it is probably the most linear fragrance I own. At its core, this is an unabashedly direct scent. But it simply smells awesome. The somewhat good side is that it never exhibits changes in its development. What you smell when you first apply it is essentially what you'll be wearing for the whole day. Friends often come over to have me decant fragrances for them, and this one is among the most universally liked. It has a very pleasant reception. It is definitely one of the top smell combinations for a blind buy; the description is completely literal, leaving no ambiguity or room for unexpected impressions. On top of that, you have some exceptional value for money. Its projection is modest. It makes up for this with excellent longevity, continuously radiating — albeit gently — toward your nose when worn. A true champion of colder weather, it fits today's rainy mood perfectly, even though it is not very cold here. It's a rather masculine composition, although certainly women can wear it, too. The bottle looks majestic. Overall, Wild is a super straightforward fragrance with a highly versatile profile — linear, reliable, and cozy. If you prize complexity and mood swings in a fragrance, this one might feel too straightforward. My only wish? A bit more push and a deeper base to give it that extra coating. But we can always fix that ourselves with layering.

I just received this in the mail today. Wow. For the price this is insaaaaane value. There's no way on God's green earth something this amazing should be so cheap. Smells like luxury. It smells warm AND cool. It smells like a fall day when everything is going right. You made the perfect cup of coffee and smoked the perfect cigar. That perfect moment, when you walk into the warmth of your home with a smile on your face, as you abandon the lower temperatures outside and the warmth of safety takes you into its bosom is what this smells like. The spirit of Insurrection Wild 2 is nonchalant, sexy, uplifting, masculine in the coolest way (although I csn see a woman with a certain style being able to wear this) and the notes of this fragrance play a very harmonious melody. Romantic jazzy chord progressions. It almost wants to take flight off of your skin Now one thing I can say, performance isn't up there yet for my bottle. I just got it so it leaves my skin in almost 30 seconds without much staying power BUT..... I will allow it to macerate for a couple of months. I was planning on wearing this, mid Octoberish anyway so I'll come back and make another review because I have Faith the performance is much better after letting it chill for a while after a few sprays The bottle is gorgeous. Heavy. Feels like luxury. The box it came in was a regal experience lol This is a Love for me I can't remember what pure havane smelled like so I can't say how much it smells like it or Naxos. This is a banger. Blind buy it. Blind buy it. Blind buy it Because I will be ordering at least 10 more of these just to keep so I never run out!!

surprisingly my most complimented fragrance at the time of writing of this review! which is good for my relatively small collection. blind bought this after seeing the hype going around it and, being a sweet/gourmand fragrance fanatic, thought i'd give it a go. i've never had a tobacco fragrance before this one fyi so i thought this will be a great introduction to them. and i was right! this is, in short, a sweet, honey-ed tobacco with vanilla and cacao lingering with that tobacco scent. gourmand, sweet and smoky is the best way to describe it. very appealing, addictive, and beautiful, right from the first sniff - in short, i fell in love with it. and apparently others did too. i received an unreal amount of compliments from this, more than any fragrance ive worn. people liked it and wanted to know what it is. it's that good. longevity is unreal from this perfume as a skin scent. projects fairly nicely, not too loud, but leaves a very nice scent trail behind. very good performance for an edt to the point where it beats some of my edps. the bottle imo is also very nice and unique without being tacky and the presentation was really nice too. atomizer is okay, not the best, but what's there to complain about given the price of this thing? got it for 100 aed exactly, or the equivalent of 27 usd, and for the price, the quality is amazing, and to me, it is blind-buy worthy. as an introduction to tobacco scents, this was a great one - so great that it made me addicted to this type of fragrances and sought to delve deeper into them. i greatly recommend it.

Tobaccos being my favourite Insurrection II Wild was an easy blind buy, this perfume has a lot of good things going for it. The smell... for a tobacco its decent, good tobacco opening and doesn’t change much in the dry down. Affordable price and great looking bottle design. Its has similarities to Pure Havane especially that opening top note but Insurrection II Wild is no Pure Havane. Pure Havane is extremely rich, thick, punchy has way more oomph and lasts ages whereas this one feels light... actually a little too light. While testing this one I did 6 sprays of Insurrection II Wild on my arms and 1 spray of Vintage Thierry Mugler Pure Havane and within 5 minutes I could barely detect Insurrection II WIld. I do like the perfume and it does a decent job of giving that Pure Havane feel and if you’re on the lookout for an affordable tobacco based frag Insurrection II Wild will do nicely. 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. I’ve had Pure Havane ever since the launch, and have definitely stocked up to make sure I never run out of Pure Havane, I haven’t tried the Mugler Version and still on the lookout for one. Recently got Paris Corner Voux Elegante and this one is ok-ish, got me a bottle of Naxos too. They’re all different from each other and great in their own way, and if you like frags that are heavy on the tobacco Insurrection II Wild will be a great addition to the collection.
