Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Jour EDP
This one's a head-scratcher. Marketed as a fresh aquatic, the community reviews are brutal, questioning its very existence. It might be cheap, but even at that price, many feel utterly ripped off. Avoid at all costs, unless you're a glutton for punishment.
Statement
Our Verdict - Invictus Aqua EDT
Divisive yet undeniably popular, the 2016 Invictus Aqua is either the summer king or an overpriced, synthetic mess. Its legendary status is cemented by its fierce fan base and inflated prices, with many chasing that elusive original batch.

Season and Occasion Fit

Jour

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Also Works:
Office Sport

The aquatic and citrus accords suggest a casual, warm-weather appeal, suitable for sport or very informal settings. However, given the overwhelmingly negative community reviews, its suitability for any occasion is highly questionable. It definitely won't work for date nights or formal events.

Invictus Aqua

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport

Its potent projection and energetic, fresh profile make it perfect for casual outings and sports, though its exuberance might be a touch too much for a formal office setting. Reviews highlight its mass-appealing, compliment-getting nature for social events.
