Revolt No 5 EDP

Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper British farce - a brilliant citrus-floral opening swiftly followed by a disappearing act. You'll love the smell, but you'll curse the performance. A divisive affair, some swear by its unique charm, whilst others rate it as nothing more than an expensive air freshener.
Revolt No 5 name-checks Chanel No 5 but is a very loose interpretation - it swaps the original's iconic aldehydic-floral bouquet of neroli, ylang-ylang and iris for a fresh bergamot-jasmine-lavender blend with no aldehydes at all. It's a decent unisex fresh-woody scent, but expecting anything close to No 5's abstract, powdery signature will disappoint.

Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean citrus and white floral profile is non-offensive and ideal for close-quarters like the office, though its poor longevity means constant reapplication. It's perfect for casual wear, especially in hot weather, as it never projects too strongly. It lacks the gravitas for formal events and the bold presence for a date.
