Strong Water

Name: Strong Water Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour
Availability: InStock

Perfume Parlour Strong Water is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Strong Water opens with Grapefruit, Yuzu, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Sea Water and Violet Leaf, and dries down to a base of Guaiac Wood, Ambergris, and Amberwood. Perfume Parlour's Strong Water carries a Favourite verdict, a aquatic-led wear.

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.

About

Strong Water opens bright and buoyant with yuzu, grapefruit and a lift of pink pepper - the citrus-forward signature that makes Invictus Aqua the breeziest of the line. A watery heart of sea water and violet leaf carries the aquatic feeling before the base dries down to amberwood, ambergris and guaiac wood for a soft, sweet-woody musk. The original takes the heaviness out of Invictus while keeping its trademark sweetness; this Perfume Parlour interpretation follows that lighter path but renders it more two-dimensional, with the citrus-aquatic top pushed forward while the woody-musk base sits thinner and fades faster to the skin. It is an effortless warm-weather choice for the gym, casual days and the office, delivering the Invictus Aqua mood without the designer price.
