Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Confidential Platinum EDP
A solid, affordable freshie with mass appeal that punches above its weight, especially after a good maceration. While some find performance lacking, for the price, it's an easy reach for everyday freshness, hitting that coveted 'blue fragrance' sweet spot.

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.
