Dupes for Invictus Aqua (2024) Eau de Parfum
3 affordable alternatives - from £23
Original
Rabanne's latest Invictus Aqua, a highly anticipated comeback for the 2016 original, is a divisive beast. While some laud it as a fresh, clean summer essential, others are utterly underwhelmed, citing synthetic smell and abysmal performance. It’s either bliss or bilge water, depending on who you ask.

Dupes
Arabian Sky and Invictus Aqua (2024) both aim for the fresh, crowd-pleasing 'blue' fragrance category.
El Cielo and Invictus Aqua (2024) both aim for a fresh, aquatic profile, but diverge in execution and price.
What makes a good dupe?
A good dupe captures the essence of the original fragrance - the same mood, the key accords, the general character - at a more accessible price point. It doesn't need to be a molecule-for-molecule copy. The best dupes feel right for the same occasions and carry a similar energy, giving you more ways to enjoy a scent profile you love.
We assess dupes by comparing the fragrance profile of the original against the dupe: shared accords, overlapping notes, similar longevity and projection, and occasion suitability. Our similarity scores reflect how closely the two fragrances align in character - not just raw ingredients.
