Cool, distant, professional synthetics
Earlier, my husband came playfully waving his hands in the living room and wiggled conspiratorially with his eyebrows - he had thus got hold of a perfume sample again. And was obviously not averse.
Interested, I sniffed the breeze and then again at his wrist.
Hmmmm.
"Which one is that?", I asked, but decided to change my mind directly:
"No, stop. I want to be unbiased."
So I took a few more breaths and slowly an image formed in my mind, which I tried to put into words for my better half.
"So it's not a cuddly scent for me. It doesn't snuggle, it doesn't invite me to come into your arms."
It lacked a certain softness that I like so much in men's fragrances. Invictus tends to keep me at a distance. The maritime notes can be really good Recognize, very fresh and as I find cool.
"I see you wearing it more in a black suit," I then followed up. "But also more when we're sitting across from each other in a fancy restaurant than next to each other."
(Then it was already clear to me that this was not a fragrance for my husband. This one rarely wears a suit and is style-wise more in the lumberjack chic/hipster area.)
And a few minutes later:
"Honestly, I can see myself having dinner with my boss right now."
The coolness of the top note transitions relatively quickly for me into a synthetic that creates even more distance. Hence the image with the boss. Invictus is not bad - I find him sparingly dosed professional, fresh, well-groomed, masculine in any case. Classic perhaps, as one imagines an expensive shower gel or deodorant.
But it is not a fragrance that I want to have on my husband. At least not at home.
Another point is the sillage - this has been powerful for us. In our whole house Invictus was present, and that with only two sparing test sprayers. And after a while, my husband also got quite a headache.
So at least I did not have to convince him that the cup may not move in with us.
I continue to prefer to cuddle with Le Male.
