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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Strong Water EDP
A budget take on Paco Rabanne Invictus Aqua - the buoyant yuzu-grapefruit opening over a watery, woody-musk base. Strong Water captures the lighter, summery Invictus character but renders it flatter and skin-close, trading the original's polish for a quicker fade.
