Renegade is the best. It's like really the only fragrance type lotion I like using and you don't need to use a lot. I'm with you on dabbing just a tiny little application right before I workout. I apply it on my upper chest and it just gives an overall good feeling while working out, I dunno what it is, it's awesome. Never ran into any insomnia issues with it though, that's very strange. Heck, I've even applied it around 10 pm before I go out with friends and never had any issues. Sorry I can't help.
I'm very eager in trying out AXcite as well.
Dsade, please keep Renegade around forever!
