Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqua Sextius EDP
A truly divisive aquatic, Aqua Sextius swings from groundbreaking genius to a 'creamy fresh lotion' that's overpriced and unmemorable. It's a freshie that manages to feel both unique and generic all at once, depending on who you ask.

Our Verdict - Invictus Aqua (2018) EDP
Divisive, yet undeniably a mass-appealing summer scent. It's either a fresh, salty aquatic crowd-pleaser that gets compliments or a synthetic, boring headache-inducer. You'll likely love it or hate it, but plenty will love it.

Season and Occasion Fit

Aqua Sextius

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport

Its strong projection and unique sweet-salty character might be too much for an office, making it less suitable there. However, its fresh, energetic vibe and good performance make it ideal for casual outings, sports, and even some dates, especially in warmer weather where its aquatic nature shines.

Invictus Aqua (2018)

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, aquatic nature and moderate projection make it a great casual choice and fitting for the gym or office, though some find it a bit strong initially. It's too light and playful for formal settings, but could work for an daytime, informal date.
