Dark and dreamy...
The old news is this compares somewhat to the "alleged panty dropper" Aventus, from the house of Creed. I have sampled Aventus on my skin, and it did not do too much for me,personally,or the two ladies I was with that day at Holt Renfrew in Toronto. At around $500 cdn. it is a huge expenditure, and apparently,by serial numbers,one is somewhat more "pineapple-ish" than the other. I got zero pineapple of the batch I tried that day, in fact,it barely registered on my skin. Perhaps I didn't spray enough, but at $500, I would want it to last,so it didn't bode well, and I passed on it, simply because, at that cost, I can get 5 bottles of very nice colognes,which is a way better way to go imho.
For the record, I have just a hair over 50 bottles on the go,currently,ranging from spicy,to sweet,and in between. Obvious ones like Yves St. Laurent/Calvin Klein/Viktor & Rolf/Prada,etc. I have Ultime/Fahrenheit/Cool Water/Fierce/1 Million/Luna Rossa Sport/Bvlgari black,man/A-Men Ultra Zest/Boss Bottled (my fave of all), so you have an idea where I'm coming from.
Insurrection II Pure is a nice,heady,dark scent,I suppose somewhat similar, but imho,far better,and not just because of the outstanding deal. (no, i don't work for reyane tradition, but with this review a freebie would be nice !!). Anyhoo, this is now a somewhat "secret choice" for me, I almost don't want anyone else to know about it,so I can be different to most,and have stock to pick from if tons of people started buying, but, for those of you like me who love to smell nice, but can't really spend thousands of dollars buying all the ones we like, this,again,is outstanding, so I'm passing on my recommendation for you.
The price alone would be worth it for the box !! It is beautifully presented,would make what looks like,easily, a $100 gift for someone. At this price, you can't really go wrong as a "blind-buy".
Bottom line, great price,amazing packaging,lovely,dark scent suitable for evening wear. Now on my permanent rebuy when used up list. Regards, Steve.
