About this deal

I have a bottle of the vet first batch (2015) and oh my, this is the real lady killer for the summer time. Once Paco Rabanne Invictus Aqua Men EDT has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a very soft, airy powdery floral and citrus fragrance with very soft woody accords.

For those who complain about longevity, I sprayed it on a paper strip a week ago and it's still smelling divine.

As someone who has experience as a live aboard yachtie, it's possible to relate to the aquatic, woody and salty notes of this frag.

Invictus aqua 2018 was never similar to Hawas and i denied it for a long time in fragcom but this 2016, is very similar. It is a nice scent but its performance is very disappointing; a fragrance ideal for those looking for a personal space fragrance with no projection. I bought this discounted off fragrance net without testing it before and I am honestly pretty disappointed with this fragrance. It’s fresh , it’s sweet , it’s got that seanotes that make it a watery salty musky vibe everything I want in a marine aquatic. The longevity is amazing both on skin and paper, I get at least 6 hours and I can smell the paper in my room while I lay maybe 2 feet away.Eventually, another few hours in, it settles down on a slightly sweet and very pleasant scent that lasts forever. The luminous Eau de Toilette invites you to the Olympian baths where a hero rests following a courageous victory. The company extends its range from time to time always offering what can only be described as colognes with a different.

Once the citrus, violet leaf, woody and peppery notes dissipate, you are left with the 'sea water ' note. I'd love every fragrance to be a masterpiece of style and form but frankly that's ridiculous, and sometimes it's nice to wear something which isn't trying to replicate Picasso's ear level of crazy, but rather is intended simply to smell nice to most people.Something I've never really experienced, which gives it that unique character on how to cologne presents itself to everyone around you. This is Paco Rabanne's answer to the current crop of blue fragrances that are making a killing in the current marketplace. Many thought Paco Rabanne would go the route of Jean Paul Gaultier or Hugo Boss and release endless, needless flankers. It smells incredible, projects well with a strong scent trail, and has solid longevity for a "freshie". This is a very good maybe the best club scent I’ve personally smelled, great for a younger crowd in my opinion.

Hawas is much sweeter and fruitier, but gives off the same vibe, and Cool Water Wave has a near-identical opening, but turns into a green fragrance as it dries down. This makes you slightly regret doing so with the aquatic elements so blantly stapled on like you're wearing a second cousin of Nautica Blue (2005), but such is the result of taking the left hand path of trying to take a niche fragrance inspired by designers and make a designer take on its vibe, which is some reach chicken and the egg thinking there.They are very much in the same realm and clearly from the same house, but definitely two different aquatic takes on the Invictus DNA. Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to enjoying my bottle of Aqua 2018 when the temperature starts to increase. This smells sweet of the top with a slight touch of citrus which I doubt the average user is going to notice. I know that no other guy is gonna smell like me and it's super fresh and pleasant and still sexy and to me i think these 2 combined are just something special on my skin.
