2018 was ultimately more invicting for me than 2016!
Den Invictus, after all, means "victorious" in Latin.
And I say it honestly, I also had at first a somewhat biased bad opinion about the series.
But it has grown in me, and Meanwhile I wear so some of it gladly. (The normal EdT, but prefer Intense or just Aqua).
Invictus Aqua 2018 has really no easy life... is considered but his big brother Invictus Aqua 2016 the popular and unbeatable insider tip!
And yet I find IA 2018 HAS its raison d'être. And even more than that!
It has an almost "alcoholic" freshness, which I think comes from the grapefruit (previously "grapefruit peel"), as well as the stronger focus on the violet leaf.
Somehow a bit more citrusy than the predecessor, "more ethereal" you could say. (Vl. is that what I mean by "alcoholic"...)
But not unpleasant, not at all!
It has a pretty good longevity, which is really good for a "freshy", and not a given!
Through the notes he gets a slightly youthful feel, which makes you feel really refreshed and sporty when wearing it. I would say he seems fresher and looser than IA 2016, which is neither good nor bad, but on some days I find exactly that simply refreshing.
2016 has just by the yuzu emphasis more... "ground", but is also sometimes somehow a bit annoying or exhausting, I find.
2018 is a bit more citrusy, without the "foreign" yuzu note, which reminds me a little of lychees or something.
To me 2018 gives on the days where I wear it, exactly the feeling and the summery, fresh sexy kick I need, mainstreamer or not! And you can just tell that the makers know their stuff (they probably should as one of the biggest designer fragrance houses ever...) and it has a well considered fragrance DNA.
I find the fragrance really really solid by now, could hold up well as a signature, even in the transitional months. Because so cool / fresh as Acqua the Gio or dgl. he is certainly not. And so bland also not. ;)
I was initially the Invictus series towards something biased, because the original fragrance is then but a little too chemical-sweet to wear it often, just something exhausting. And of course, when you smell the DNA of it, you immediately have that association. But on closer inspection, I find that PR have learned quite a bit with the flankers, and have cushioned the annoying aspects much better.
