Reyanne's Insurrection II Emperor is a flanker in their Insurrection II line which mostly takes its inspiration from Creed Aventus (except for Insurrection II Wild which is a fantastic Mugler A*Men Pure Malt clone). This takes that idea and runs away with the citrus while dropping the tropical fruit and amping up the herbal notes. The result is that it smells like an orange creamsicle in the opening before some more sophisticated aromatic fougere style herbal and pink pepper notes appear in the drydown to give it some sophistication.The major issue is that aromatic fougere notes aren't quite strong enough to lift this into Parfum de Marley's Sedley or Lattafa's Maahir Legacy territory, so the orange creamsicle aroma dominates overall. It's a very pleasant and fun aroma, but it may also come off smelling too sweet and candy-like for some.

Overall, this is great for younger users who like the modern style of sweet and fresh fragrances. Not so much for older users. It can easily be replicated with a citrus forward fragrance such as Acqua di Gio or a clone thereof layered with a strong vanilla forward fragrance (like Reyanne's own Insurrection). Or you can just grab this from a discounter. Price point is excellent, quality is high. It's totally unisex and great for the warm months. Recommended, especially if you like sweet and fresh fragrances.
