What wearers say

“If paco rabanne released invictus aqua before the original, then they release the original as an aqua edp, Invictus og would actually get more love from this weird a*s community. Yes aqua is a nice fragrance but I still prefer the original because of that deep aquatic sweet vibe that aqua lacks. Performance is also better with the original and that is also another reason why the original would get more love if it was released later as a flanker. Keep looking for overpriced aqua bottles while I stick to the original bb.”

“The 2018 version that came out right now, is incredible, compliment monster, this perfume is being underrated by others, but i disagree; it so much versatile, I am wearing it in the winter time and I gathered compliment.Last: 7 hours because I get used with this scent easy, but somebody else smell easily.Projection: 2 hours not a monster but it does a good job.Sillage: I think a little trail when you go trough for someone.Compliments: it shine, this perfume is really good, is monster, it can be easily a signature scent.”

“Reviewed without the price in mind.Juicy tart yuzu. Watery, salty marine accords. Sweet, uplifting, energizing and playful. Long lasting with great projection and a addictive sillage.If the Invictus type bubblegum DNA wasn't so played out in modern designer releases, this would genuinely be one the greatest aquatic designers of all time, up there with Acqua di Gio. And still to this day, there is not one clone that can lay a finger on this original 2016 release.”

The clone features a slightly warmer, more rounded amber base compared to the original's cooler guaiac wood dominance, and the aquatic-sea salt impression is less pronounced. Longevity and sillage are comparable, though the clone may project slightly softer in the opening 2-3 hours.

Armaf's interpretation softens the original's distinctive marine and mineral facets, relying on broader aquatic and woody accords rather than specific ambroxide and guaiac wood nuances. The clone maintains good longevity but trades some olfactory sophistication for accessibility.
