Which Should You Buy?

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.

Our Verdict - Blue EDP
This is a serviceable, budget-friendly aquatic freshie, best suited for hot weather. It's often compared to Versace Man Eau Fraiche but doesn't quite hit the mark for everyone, with some finding it a bit generic or synthetic, and performance can be an issue.
