Invictus EDP

Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued gem is proper divisive. Folk either love its unique salty aquatic vibe and beastly performance for summer, or they absolutely hate it, calling it synthetic, eggy, or even like 'rotting fruit in a puddle'.
Jubilee's dupe hits the grapefruit-marine opening of Invictus convincingly, but the guaiac wood and oakmoss base that gives the original its gym-locker warmth comes through thin and disappears well before the day is done.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its potent projection and unique, sometimes polarising, aroma make it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its 'beast mode' performance and strong aquatic-citrus notes are perfect for high heat, making it an ideal casual and sport scent, especially around water, where it really shines.
Seasons
An aquatic citrus built for warm-weather and active wear.
Occasions
Fresh and energetic, well suited to sport and casual wear, less appropriate for formal settings.
