I have Victorioso Nero and I can tell you this thing last a century on both skin and clothes. However this has been after I let it macerate for abouth 2 months. When I bought it I immediately put it on and got very disappointed when it lasted on my skin for maybe 2 hours and faded away also the scent had this excessive synthetic smell on it that I didn't like. However after reading from many people to let it macerate for a while I did exactly that and now the scent last way more and smells better. Definitely a good buy.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with this amazing fragrance….you are absolutely right this is a powerful and very long lasting fragrance that actually performs in some ways far better than the original pacco Rabanne. Macceration is key for these budget fragrances and you can certainly confirm that from your experience. Thanks for your input….stay safe and keep spraying….best wishes from JL
Why leggy? Whyyyy are you making me buy more frags this week!?? 😂 cheers mate! Just found your channel through a recommendation during my last live stream! A bunch of people said your channel was hilarious! And it is! I Love it! New sub! Can't wait to catch up on your past videos! 🙌
Well my friend, I am honoured and very grateful for your subscription and for your support. Thank you for your kind words and I look forward to seeing you on the next review. Stay safe and keep spraying….best wishes from JL
I think it smells like fruit punch. When I bought it, I couldn’t get over the gasoline note, but maybe I didn’t clear the bottle enough ( by spraying enough) because when I gave it to me dad, it didn’t smell like that on him. It was incredible, so strong.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with this fruity fragrance 🥳…great to hear from you…. Stay safe and keep spraying….best wishes from JL
Now that is a fantastic price for this stunning fragrance….trust me it is worth twice that 😉…..so fair play to you….enjoy your purchase….best wishes from JL
this is clone of hugo boss bottled. i had ferrari black and dunhill driven both are clones of boss bottled, qaaed is identical its not too noticeable in the opening until it gets to the drydown it smells the same.
Okay so Invicto is almost a exact copy of Invictus, as for the other three they have the sweet fruity bubblegum vibe of Invictus but they are more ‘inspired’ by Invictus rather than clones (if that makes sense) best wishes from JL
@@JONLEGG I'm buying around 20 fragrances a month.🤣 I keep ordering numerous FW frags and enjoy them. Also, I am about to order Maison Alhambra Panther for 8 pounds from one of the online discounters. It is their clone of the original Phantom.😱 I have Hayaati Al Malakey, and although it is a clone of Phantom EDP in the black bottle, I don't think it smells as nice as the original Phantom EDT in the silver robot bottle.
Leggy, I have something that you MUST get into your collection that you are SURE to love!! I'm wearing it right now, and it's about as under the radar as you can get! To MY nose, it's Tom Ford Grey Vetiver sharing the stage with Fruity Pebbles! The quality of this fragrance smells EQUAL to the Tom Ford to MY nose, and it PERFORMS too! PLEASE try to find it, I only hope it's available in the UK! It's called La Chameau Emper Arabia Silver Vetiver. Just look for the Camel, you'll know when you see it mate!
Another great review. I swear I could watch you waffle on about fragrances for 40 minutes lol. I left a comment on your Invicto intense review 2 months ago and I asked if I should get FW invicto intense or FW Invicto victory elixir. You recommended the latter. Needless to say, I ordered both as I’m an Invictus fanboy. I really enjoyed both and found that they improved with maceration. I tested out the FW Invicto victory elixir against the original and I found that the original opens up slightly sweeter - like the vanilla is brighter/sweeter. Whereas I find the FW version is more dark and more linear. But honestly this is splitting hairs. I was so impressed by the quality and how close it was to the original. To be honest I’m yet to be disappointed by Fragrance World.
Really appreciate your comments and your sharing your thoughts and experiences with these amazing fragrances…. And you are absolutely right about Fragrance world….they have put a lot of effort into their range of Invictus clones and to be fair each one is quality juice that smells SO close and performs SO well. Stay safe and keep pumping the sprayer….🤩🤩….. JL
Thank you for your question my friend…. I’m not aware of any reformulation….and to be fair it’s not really something that Lattafa seems to do. Bear in mind that all these fragrances benefit massively from macceration, so if you purchase a bottle and find it not up to standard then please macerate it for a couple of weeks and then the full potential will be there…..best wishes from JL
I bought 3 Maison Alhambra Invictus clones largely because of your reviews. I'm not a big fan of the scent, but I respect it as a work of art. I have a Victorioso, Victorioso Myth, and Victorioso Nero (victory). They have gotten much better with maceration. I have been buying Fragrance World frags and think they are a very good clone house. I might have to try this one to add to the line.
Thank you for your comments and for sharing your experience with these fragrances. Trust me this is a VERY decent clone and fragrance world have nailed it!!!! Best wishes from JL
Hello Leggy! The only Invictus that inspired me to buy a full bottle of is Victory Elixir. I love it but don't wear it often so I have most of the bottle left. When/if I get through it I might consider a bottle of the Invicto Elixir. Beautiful sunny day here in Norwich today. I went with Boss Bottled Pacific. Which was nice! Thanks for another great fragrance review!
Thank you for your comments, great to hear from you: might be worth you picking up this fragrance world one as a backup to your original 😉…. Trust me you will struggle to tell the difference (other than the price….🤩) and yes bottled pacific is a perfect sunny day fragrance….coconut on steroids 😎…😂😂. Stay safe and keep spraying….. best wishes from JL
Got this a while back Leggi and your correct, it is extremely close. Great review as always, on a side note I’m not a big fan of the original Victory .
What a pity… can’t understand why there are no sellers in France as this is a big market place and fragrance world have nailed it….🤔. Best wishes from JL
Most of the Armaf frags I own are incredible. I'm thinking about picking this one up because I want a Bleu de Channel clone. I have Armaf Hunter Intense, but the Invictus aspect of that one sort of overpowers any BdC qualities.
Thank you for your comments my friend, trust me this one will satisfy your desire for a BDC clone…. And it will entertain you because it is BDC but it isn’t….in a very clever way….. and then the performance will blow you away and you won’t look back…😉. Best wishes from JL
@JONLEGG Since it has elements of two other Armaf clones, I think it will be good. I am blown away by the quality of Milestone (not a fan of the scent, but the packaging is luxurious!).
Thank you my friend, and yes….never be without this fragrance…. It should always be in the collection 😀…. I tend to do 4 sprays around the neck, 1 on the chest….1 on each forearm and haze over the T-shirt…and trust me it gets me so many compliments…it’s literally radiating off me almost all day…. The T-shirt is owned by Perseus for about a week…..😉….. best wishes from JL
Thank you for your questions….Platinum is very office friendly….a great easy wear….totally inoffensive and an awesome smell. Spray generously over nicely moisturised skin and haze over clothes and for about 1.5-2 hours it is projected off you and then for a further 2-3 hours you are I a nice scent bubble that does still gently trail off you. Top up at lunchtime and you are good for the afternoon…..😉….. best wishes from JL
Thank you for your question….this is a perfect SUMMER fragrance….smells like a beach holiday vibe….😎. Nothing to stop you wearing it in winter but honestly it is all about the summer vibes….. Best wishes from JL
I'm a woman, and I loooove Oud Mood! I was scared it would be too masculine when I ordered it but it is definitely unisex. But I feel like it's only for the confident woman. It's a very outspoken scent!!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with this gorgeous fragrance…. I am 💯 with you that it is UNISEX…. And you are right, it is a strong and very forthright fragrance that makes it presence known (and it does that for a long time 😉) stay safe and keep spraying….. best wishes from JL
@@JONLEGG Have you tried BVLGARI Tygar or the clone Tarathi blue by Afnan or the clone Al Haramain Junoon Oud. I know you like GRAPEFRUIT scents. So do I.
Jon, would you recommend all of the Invicto fragrances or only certain ones? And would you say they are closer to the OG fragrances than Maison Alhambra - Victorioso fragrances? I first purchased Victorioso, Victorioso MYTH and Victorioso Nero before picking up Invicto Victorious Elixir. Blind purchased all of them. Wasn’t too impressed with the Victorioso ones. Wish I had tried one first before picking up all three. 🤦🏻♂️ Thanks.
Thank you for your questions my friend, okay so in my experience the Fragrance world Invictus clones are extremely very close to the originals, with very respectable performance and a well made quality smell. The maison Alhambra versions are decent and close to the originals but tend to have a bit of a chemical / alcohol vibe at least to start off with. Just focusing in on the original Invictus…. I was very impressed with the Maison Alhambra until I got the Fragrance world Invicto and then I realised how much better the Fragrance world one was. Generally speaking they are either the same price point or sometimes the Fragrance World is slightly cheaper. Honestly hand on heart I would recommend the entire Invicto (fragrance world) range. Best wishes from JL
@@JONLEGG - Wish I had checked with you first before blind buying the three Maison Alhambra clones. Will seek out the other Fragrance World clones of the Invictus fragrances. Thank you.
I’m excited for you my friend, some may say that this legend is a bit dated but truth is that it is a legend….and legends never die. Excellent performance too. Enjoy 😉…..best wishes from JL
It is my absolute favourite ❤️ I never had a favourite perfume! But this is It !! It’s like a Blanket for when you need comfort. A real comforting warm smell. My one and only to go to 🫶.
I have both this and Kouros and it is amazing how close this is to Kouros. People can smell this on me in other rooms I haven't even entered yet. 😂 Theses rooms have closed doors and I haven't been near them and people can still smell it on me. 😂
Thank you for your comments my friend, you really made me laugh because this is a silent bomb…literally the projection is everywhere….thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences with this amazing fragrance…..stay safe and keep spraying 😉…..😂😂😂best wishes from JL
@JONLEGG I spritzed on 1 half spray of Lapidus Pour Homme to go with my layer Victorioso Myth. The one spray Lapidus overpowered everything in the hot, humid Florida heat today.
Thank you for your kind words and for your support…. Hope you enjoy this powerful fragrance and that you get as much enjoyment out of it as I have….don’t forget to drop a comment below after you have been wearing it for a while so others can see how good it is…..😉…..best wishes from JL
Thank you for your question my friend, honestly the parfum does have a very distant Invictus OG vibe but it is smothered with a black soap note, so because legend is possibly the closest Invictus to the OG I guess it could be considered to have a distant legend vibe. I will say that whereas legend has a very bright and uplifting summer holiday vibe the parfum has an energy but it’s not really a bright energy it’s kinda cooped up. Best wishes from JL
I’m excited for you my friend, allow for a bit of macceration and this will be perfect for the cooler months….its a very lovable scent….enjoy…..and don’t forget to drop a comment below after you have been wearing it for a while so others can see your thoughts on it….thank you…..best wishes from JL
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with these fragrances honestly as I said in the video this is an amazing clone but the actual smell doesn’t do anything for me…..😬….I guess it is an acquired taste……JL
Thank you my friend…this is a stunning fragrance with awesome performance…appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences with it……best wishes from JL
