Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Insurrection II Pure Eau de Parfum

This one is a total mixed bag. Some call it an absolute gem for the price, a dead ringer for more prestigious scents, while others dismiss it as a cheap, poor-performing synthetic mess. It's affordable, but prepare for wildly inconsistent performance.

Our Verdict - Now Eau de Parfum

If you're not into pineapple, look away. Now by RAVE is a divisive tropical explosion, adored by some for its juicy, affordable blast, and dismissed by others as a synthetic, singular note. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for under twenty quid, you can't really go wrong if you like pineapple.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual Sport

The potent, sweet, and fruity profile makes it too boisterous for formal or professional settings but perfectly suited for casual wear, dates, and even the gym where its refreshing fruitiness can cut through. Some reviews mention its strength can be overwhelming, so a lighter hand is needed for closer encounters.
