As an aristocrat lacking fondness of revolutionary talk and class identity politics, this is one of the few “revolutions” I can openly embrace. One of complete and utter insignificance. This reminds me of Frankfurt in 1848 or Madrid in 1936, two rather well-meaning democratic reform movements easily tamed by internal divisions and too much bending over for royalist sanction to ever be anything noteworthy.
What do you get here? A tangy, dry pear note reined in by green leaves and pepper in the opening that quickly transforms into a light synthetic oceanic breeze with the slightest hints of generic woods as it dries down.
The scent isn’t bad at all, the pear is a standout element here that makes it unique in its blending with fresh spice and green aromatic accords, it just doesn’t have any weight to hold on your skin for more than an hour and a half.
I personally keep it in my collection as an alternative option in the late spring and summer for a quick meet-up or a workout fragrance for running outdoors when you need something extremely subtle and unimposing.

THE SHORTEST REVOLUTION IN HISTORY:
The scent is nice, it’s real masculine but not in an overpowering or offensive way. This cologne falls flat on its face when it comes to longevity and sillage and it shocked me when I realized this because I figured that if it’s a Brut cologne it would hit and hit strong. Honestly this would be a fantastic cologne if it lasted longer I just can’t recommend buying something that you would have to drown in to smell it after an hour and a half.

You know the guy, he douses himself with some beast-mode projecting cologne, walks in a room, and you can smell his scent from across the way…
…you won’t be that guy with Brut Revolution. I have aftershaves that last longer, project further.
Too bad, because it’s a fairly pleasant aquatic.

A revolution? Certainly not one of any lasting significance. Let’s call it a small uprising later put down by force by my legions; with the obligatory executions to follow. The deodorant stick for this is a bargain basement gem at Dollar Tree, the actual spray cologne? Well, better get your nose on it quick and early, this stuff disappears quickly within an hour or two. What you get is pleasing enough, if nothing altogether unique or groundbreaking. It’s mostly an oceanic breeze supplemented by a hint of airy musk and spice complimented by a subtle and fruity pear note that stays very soft on the skin with 2-3 sprays and doesn’t develop beyond its opening salvo.
It was a great idea by Brut (necessitated by declining sales numbers) at the time to step out of its baby boomer core audience and follow the trends down the aquatic trail to financial gain, backed by a very respectable chemist in Yves Cassar; but only the body wash and deodorant stick proved noteworthy. Within a year of launch Brut’s leadership had already decided to go in a different direction marketing wise and the product was left to the bargain bins.
Best used for spring and summer sport in the early mornings and evenings, doesn’t have the longevity for work or a night out.

Sooners has already written the definitive review here. Longevity on Brut’s Revolution is absolutely abysmal, even when paired with the Aftershave I never get more than 30-45 minutes and that’s after 25+ wears. The top is a nice blend of pear and pepper and a hint of green that quickly gets overtaken by the dominant sea water note and never develops further for the brief time it stays on the skin. The base notes are indistinguishable and honestly non-existent. Incredibly inoffensive and very pleasing to new noses and beginners, a great fragrance for those who don’t like fragrances or are just starting out.
You are much better off going out to the Dollar Store and getting yourself the deodorant for $1, it goes extremely well with most aquatic fragrances and outlasts the edt by 4-5 hours. You’ll also get a little more of a dose of woods and better balance in the deodorant release.
I can’t get any longevity or distance out of this spray, even after drenching myself in it. A major dud in longevity and sillage (30-50 minutes), Brut Revolution was a great idea but was poorly executed by Yves Cassar, who to his credit must have been under incredible budget constraints to make a cheap EDT for Walmart shelves and drugstores to compete with Old Spice, Aqua Velva, etc.
Discontinued. Works better as a glorified splash on Aftershave.

Yep, I too got it at Big Lots, $4 for 2.5 ounces. Not a bad fragrance at this price point. However, its longevity is lacking. I decided to move on from this fragrance and gave it to my 16 year old son. He seems to like it!
Opens with lots of pepper and some pear, but settles down to a pleasant marine scent. The base notes are very subtle at best.
It’s great for Summer, shorts & flip flops, casual, and day wear.
If you can get it for < $5, consider giving it a try.

I paid $5 for this at Big Lots. Picked it up while standing in line. The two previous reviews are right on.
For this much money it is actually a rather pleasant scent.

Seems like a aqua-like vetiver to me.
Linear, does not change from beginning to end.
