* Nice clean Sweet and Fresh style cologne with similar style DNA to Creed, Montblanc and Paco Rabanne newer fragrances
* Good blend of citrus, pineapple, vanilla, wood, herb and patchouli musk aromas
* Great for warmer weather
* Excellent price point
* Good QPR value
* Unisex
* Great for younger users
* Good performance.
* Lacks the intensity in the smoked birch note that made Aventus famous
* Extremely crowded market for this type of fragrance
* Confusing decision to make three other similar flankers (Insurrection II Pure, Pure Extreme, Pure Extreme Sport, and Pure II Concentrated)
* Not good for older users
* Not good for those who dislike sweet fragrances
Insurrection II Pure Extreme is a very good value from Reyanne. It's clearly modeled after the famous Creed Aventus which has been cloned to death now. Certainly the DNA is there. This is a very clean blend of sweet, fresh, citrus, pineapple, vanilla, wood, herb and patchouli musk aromas. It's got a nice strong fruit opening that dries down into a soft tropical fruit and powder drydown. This is a very pleasant and uplifting fragrance that would appeal to those who like the modern Creed, Montblanc and Paco Rabanne style of sweet and fragrances. For Aventus lovers, it lacks the famous intensely strong birchwood note in the opening that people love. Of course, so does Aventus itself now and that costs hundreds of dollars. This comes at an excellent price point from discounters and delivers high quality for that dollar.
Of course, many criticize the newer modern style of fragrances as appealing to the younger social media addicted demographic and that applies here as well. This is great for younger users, not so much for older more mature ones who would like a more serious fragrance. If you enjoy the Aventus, Invictus, 1 Million, this is definitely up your alley. This is unisex and great for warmer weather and the outdoors. Performance is good with decent sillage, projection and longevity. Recommended.
