Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ultima
This marine-citrus freshie is a certified crowd-pleaser that punches above its weight. Some reckon it's a clone, but it stands on its own as a versatile, compliment-getting beast.

Our Verdict - Inspired by Invictus
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Paco Rabanne's Invictus (2013) - the Veronique Nyberg, Anne Flipo, Olivier Polge and Dominique Ropion grapefruit-marine-ambergris composition that became Rabanne's sport-masculine flagship, here translated into a grapefruit-marine opening over bay leaf and a ambergris-guaiac close. Honest dupe-fidelity for sport and casual wear at a fraction of the designer price.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ultima

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, aquatic profile and good longevity make it suitable for casual wear and gym sessions, while still being presentable for an office setting if applied lightly. It's also sexy enough for a date night, though perhaps not formal events given its energetic character.
