This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either love how it swerves the crowd-pleasers with its bold, dark character, or you'll find it an overwhelming, synthetic mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you're after something unique and masculine, it could be a winner.

Rebels Creed is a loose, budget nod to Creed's Aventus, but it's a considerable stretch as a dupe - it drops Aventus's signature pineapple-blackcurrant-birch smokiness entirely for a green apple, lavender and leather blend. Anyone hoping for Aventus's fruity-smoky opening will find this reads as a generic fresh-woody scent instead, with far less richness and staying power.
