Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
Marine-citrus-amber sport structure peaks in spring and summer; autumn carries. Winter off-season.
Occasions
Built for sport, casual, office, and warm-weather date; less suited to formal evening.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Marine, Citrus, Aromatic accords and Grapefruit, Mandarin notes
