For anyone wondering about the performance of Invictus Aqua 2024... The fragrance is brand new, production in March 2024, so it has a big chance of getting stronger with maceration. Atm I can smell it up close on skin for at least 6hrs and faintly on clothes the next day. Give it a couple of sprays when you get your bottle, then let it sit on the shelf for a month or so. Same thing happened to me with Hawas. I could hardly smell it after 7 sprays the first wearing. Let it sit a few weeks and then BOOM 2 SPRAYS was more than enough. The fragrance itself is delightful. Smells sweet and salty clean, like freshy laundered sheets blowing in the sea breeze. 🌊
@@drummeboy9 there is a review on youtube and someone left a comment saying it’s not as strong as the 2016. But at least according to what I’ve heard the scent is the same. Can’t wait to get myself a bottle, sadly never tested the 2016 but love the 2018, and if what I’ve heard is true the 2016 is said to be even better.
@@AndreasHamberg I sampled the 2016 version back in 2018 and was obsessed with it, I then mistakenly bought the 2018 version thinking it would be the same thing. The 2018 was still nice but felt like a cheap clone of the 2016, so if this 2024 version is anything like the original you are going to love it for sure. Just ordered my bottle!
I own several bottles of the 2016. Once I small the 2018 in a departement store and to my nose both were very similar. I cannot comment on longevity. If this 2024 has the same longevity, I will be getting many backups of the 2024 released.
Just seen an advert for Invictus Aqua and came onto YT to see if it’s similar to 2016. This new video was sitting right at the top of my feed 😀 didn’t disappoint Chris
Tom Ford Costa Azzurra Parfum is an absolute beast. I love the smell. That Cypress and Lemon with a hint of Saltiness. Just 🔥 I'm looking forward to picking up a bottle of 2024 Invictus Aqua. I enjoyed the 2016 & 2018 variants.
I like Hauls! Definitely the sprayer should be align to the label, accidents can happen... 🤦 Those Atelier des Ors sound great, need to get a sample. Costa Azurra is great! Not a fan of Invictus but I'm glad they release it for the fans. Thanks for the video Chris!!!
I bought 2 bottles last week as it's silly cheap with the 15% percent off first time purchasing from the site once you sign up for their newsletter and get a confirmation email with the said code... works out £68 each... such a bargain and yes the batch code indicates it was only manufactured in march of this year so will need s few months to sit and mature once aerated
I also bought 2 as well with 15% off and some additional freebees I'm going to keep one for myself then maybe sell the other and make my money back on. Hoping it is just going to be limited release
@@Snedz496 noooooooo don't do it.... you will regret it, especially as everyone that is interested will know it's been re-released on a limited run... when it gets discontinued and you can't get it again you will wish you hadn't sold it. it's the one scent i wish i had bought a back up before it was originally discontinued, so wouldn't make that mistake again lol
This might be a hot take, but I actually preferred the 2018 version of Invictus Aqua to the 2016 version. I always saw it is an improvement. 2016 was far too sweet and too close to the original Invictus. 2018 was more refined.
The prices for Atelier Des Ors fragrances are too high for my taste, around 250 Euro's and I think I can get better fragrances for that amount but that's my opinion
@@Rachiid1 yes it's quite good performance for a fresh/aquatic fragrance. Performance hasn't reduced over time at all. I have 2018 version also, but 2016 is definitely better in performance. Also the 2018 version smells very different.
If paco rabanne really cared about giving the fragrance community back the original 2016 invictus Aqua! Then it would have been available in the USA 🇺🇸 and wouldn't be a limited edition! Lol lol lol 🤣 😀
@@junkies1111 with how Dior Homme Parfum and La Nuit Bleu Electrique aren’t discontinued and still demand a premium due to not being available everywhere, you’re definitely right on that 😔
