The prelude could be summarized as "Bergamot & Spice +".
The first explosion is clearly concentrated around the bergamot citrus kernel, which is further loosened with some fine grain. Almost immediately a spicy note is introduced, the cardamom, but the spice is not overwhelming and blends well into the lemon kernel. Whiplashes with a rather green ginger impression come and go.
Later, a restrained sweetness is added to a Tonka, and the rest of the base consists of some unspecific white musk mixtures.
I get a moderate sillage, good projection and six hours longevity on my skin.
A pleasant scent for cooler summer days, the well executed first half is pulled down by the generic drydown, but overall this is a good Guerlain. The combination of citrus fruits and spices is of course not new.

It gives its moist, sticky, watery, fresh ginger note directly from L'eau d'Issey and the cooked herbs on heather - with a sea breeze of Cool Water. Very nice grapefruit and lemon opening, very spicy and energetic together with some anislavender. The naturally dried, spicy ginger is a great precursor to the already translucent, sparkling, green vetiver and camphor herb rosemary that gives it a dry, earthy coolness. A perfectly fitted, sticky-sweet, resinous cedar wood with a deep "woodchip" note provides grip and leads to a slightly salty Ambroxan/Iso-E-Super base with a santal tone. Energetic, refined and elegant at the same time, this is a great leisure perfume or an invigorating tonic after extensive training. Good work, but a little too thin and weakly smelling. Half thumbs up.

Not as sweet as the original Invictus, more on the fresh, slightly vegetable side. There's some modern sweetness here, but it's greener, just a little brighter and fresher. It therefore feels a little more mature, but is still very casual. Probably a better hot weather fragrance than the original, but not as good as Aqua. It still has a generic flair, but which is very pleasant.
The performance is solid. Good projection for 6 hours and long life throughout the working day.

The perfume is good.
The prelude is provided with a warm, sweet cinnamon, which reminds of Givenchy Pi, but without the sneezing chord and much deeper and more endearing.
The lavender of the original Le Male then appears without displacing the sweet cinnamon opening.
Then vanilla appears, sharing the stage with lavender and cinnamon.
This is a nice gourmand who gets along well in the cold.
Enthusiastic thumbs up.

Beautiful almond and vanilla scent. I read that it's a good clone of Pegasus. Since I don't own Pegasus myself, I can't say anything about it.
A slightly sweet vanilla scent with an almost metallic almond note. It may not sound tempting, but it smells good! Wonderful scent!
