This one's a proper dark horse, often compared to Fahrenheit but for a fiver. It's a clean, spicy-woody violet leaf bomb that's either a classic hidden gem or a fleeting, generic disappointment, depending on who you ask. Performance is the biggest sticking point, but the scent itself has a loyal following.

This Armaf offering is a divisive beast: some rave about its Invictus Aqua resemblance and stellar performance, while others find its sillage fleeting and its scent profile uninspired. If you're after a budget-friendly blue aquatic with a touch of mint and amber, it's worth a punt, but expect varied mileage.
