Invictus Aqua

I really like this style of fragrance. Fresh sweet opening with a nice aquatic cool down. Not sure if most colognes in this style copy the 2016 or 2018 version but its still good. Voted loved cause theres so many fragrances in this style I like.

I have a 85/100ml original 2016 bottle for sale. EU only. Hit me up here or email: [email protected]

I really like this cologne when I first spray it — the top notes are clean and refreshing. However, after just a few minutes, it turns quite meh. The musky aspects start to annoy me, and overall I don’t like it. If the fresh top notes had lasted longer, I would have loved it. Unfortunately, it’s just so-so. Additionally, I sometimes get a mild headache from it, and my wife doesn’t like this scent either.

Aquatic freshness in a bottle. I really liked this one and it killed me when it was discontinued when I had just finished my first bottle. It has been quite a while since I’ve last worn this but I can still remember vividly how the people around me adored this scent whenever I wore it. This bottle carried me through my late teen years and I loved it for its simplicity, crowd-pleasing nature, and confidence-inspiring profile. Would probably repurchase the latest one which is said to pick up where this left off.

This stuff is not discontinued, just rebranded. Comparing this side by side, this is extremely identical to invictus edt. Slightly less sweeter, and more fresher. I prefer this over the edt too actually, since it can be overbearing at times. Bubble-gummy freshness, quite a youthful scent, however is very versatile for the high heat. Projects really well, and lasts decently, around 5-7 hours. Good just not great. 6.5/10

A very hot day i decided to apply this one.. went to a social with my cousins and some friends! Good vibes only and the house is full of girls back and front, entered a room and 3 girls gave me unsolicited compliments (you smell so good i would like to bite you type of comments) i was shocked and crazy as it sounds at the dry down i could feel salt on my skin yeah salt... Fresh and Sexy Day time / Open or Closed environments 9/10 Scent 9/10 for performance 8/10 for sillage Overall, if you able to grab a bottle go for it and Thank me latter!!

This (Invictus Aqua) is a clone of Rasasi Hawas OG, not the other way around. Hawas was launched in 2015, while Invictus Aqua was launched in 2016. Although the original Invictus is older than both, it is clearly different, with some similarities. with some similarities.

Is this discontinued?

A gem. Extremely uplifting bright smell that will lift your spirit with every whiff... I just discovered that there's an ambergris note in this which I don't like just my preference but it doesn't have a noticeable scent of ambergris

I have the 2016, 2018, & the 2024..after spending time with all 3 I can say this one is the best version by far. Mostly everyone says the 2024 smells 99% identical to this one but I don’t find that to be the case at all! The 2024 and 2018 versions are very violet leaf dominant and share more similarities, whereas this one is better balanced and the pink pepper note shines in the mix! Hopefully I can find a backup bottle for a decent price but unfortunately the prices are continuing to spike 😢

أعتبر نفسي محظوظ جدا بإمتلاكي 7 علب من هذا العطر الصيفي الجميل أكثر مايجذبني له الرائحة البحرية الملحية ولكن بطريقة منعشة وجميلة الأداء يفوق ال 12 ساعة بكل سهولة وفي الملابس أحيانا بالأيام بدون مبالغة تقييمي له 10/10 .. كان ومازال أفضل عطر صيفي بالنسبة لي

I have the 2018 and the 2024 version. Side by side there is a big difference, It's not night and day, but definitely different. 2018 has more prominent violet leaf, which makes it more powdery and heavy. 2024 version is 99% close to the OG. You really need to nitpick to find a difference. I prefer the 2024 version more due to it being more fresh and uplifting. You really need to get your nose on it, because it's amazing. I was hesitant on buying it due to 2018 not being down my alley. Longevity is good, and performance is beastly. 10/10 comeback from Rabanne.

Invictus Aqua 2024 is now on Rabbane's USA website!

I am looking for a bottle of aqua 2024. Us only

Way better than Hawas and Legend Spirit

Finally got a sample of the 2016 version and compared it to my 2018 bottle. They really aren't that different. The openings are different. The 2018 is sweeter and is heavy on the violet making it more powdery, in the vein of Burberry Touch. The 2016 has more citrus and is much more ambery. The 2016 seems to perform a little better, even after all these years. I wanna try the new 2024 formulation.

Very synthetic The 2018 is better blended, smoother with a sweet twist. Go for montblanc legend spirit anytime. Do not spend too much money on the rerelease which is more the 2018 version it seems. 😊

Ramses is correct. The 2016 had notes no longer allowed due to regulation. That's doesn't mean it smelled better. It just means the 2016 version is unique

Does anyone know hot to get the 2024 version in Australia? Rabanne's website does not ship. It's amazing and sad at the same time some still think they reformulate perfumes because of Ifra.

As someone who still has a bottle of the 2018, a sample of the 2016, and a newer bottle of the 2024, the new 2024 smells nothing like the 2018 version. In the air, it's exactly like the 2016 and you gotta get very up close and trying very hard to find an actual difference. The performance is still extremely good (8+ hours).

The UK new version has NOTHING to do with the 2016 version. DO not be fooled. The new UK version is like 2018 with a small change. not worth the $$$ The original had a magic yuzu note. It cannot be made again due to IFRA It will not be made again

I got a 10ml decant of the UK release and due to that I was able to also snag a nearly full 2016 for $100 due to demand slightly falling for the OG. I can confirm they are incredibly similar so if you missed out initially don’t hesitate to snag the limited UK release if you can!!

Does anyone know anything about the 2024 version?

I have no idea how the hell this perfume became so popular. This is sooo overhyped!! If u guys already have rasasi hawas, montblanc legend spirit, hugo boss unlimited. U dont need this!! Also the performance is not really that great!!! To me still the Original Invictus is the ultimate fragrance ever made, so even this aqua version is better suited for high heat, i still think its overated. I think the fragrance i've mention are enough. Stivk ho invictus the original. Dontbuy the new parfum version and also not the platinum.

This scent leans a bit too feminine for my taste. I'm leaning towards the vintage Parfums Aqua Intense clone instead. I've compared it to both Hawas and the original, and the vintage Parfum version has the most appealing scent, although it doesn't project as strongly. Still, I prefer it because the scent is less synthetic and more intriguing overall, with similar longevity.

(2024 version) i have no idea whats 2016 ver was a like but this one is so good, it's so fresh, uplifting, its giving me so much good energy, something i cant describe, i am in love. Its third fresh fragrance which impress me so much after Platinium Egoiste and Bois Imperiale. Perfect for hot days, whoever compare this to legend spirit must have really bad nose. Longevity could be better i wish to see Invictus Aqua by Quentin Bisch ;) . 10/10 for me

seen an advert while scrolling social media that this masterpiece had been re-released on a limited run exclusively on the paco Rabanne's website and instantly had to get myself 2 bottles as it is one of the few scents i used to kick myself not getting a backup before it was discontinued. smells exactly how i remembered it although longevity i think was better on the o.g release (might have to let this sit for a month or so to mature as it was only manufactured in march of this year) overall amazing scent that sits similarly in the same bracket of freshness and saltiness of adg profondo but like having 2 kids don't ask me what one i prefer lol

Also agree with everything said below about the scent, but for me, whether I go nose-blind to it or not, it doesn’t seem to project for very long at all. Became a skin scent within two hours of application.

It’s back!! If anyone has the old bottle and the new bottle please do a comparison

So are we saying I should get this for summer and skip Hawas / Legend Spirit? Looking for a mass appealing compliment beast!
