A distinctive twist for a well known (and replicated) DNA
Considering the countless OGs, clones, and inspired takes on this DNA, Nitro Red manages to stand out in a sea of similarity, and that’s no small feat. It’s possibly my favorite interpretation with one notable exception: the OG Invictus Platinum.
What sets Nitro Red apart is its contemporary spin, with the addition of a juicy watermelon note. This bright, slightly aquatic twist injects a playful, modern energy into the scent, making it more vibrant and engaging than other popular contenders like Hawas.

Performance is another major win for Nitro Red. It easily lasts well above average on both skin and clothing, with a trail that leaves a positive impression without becoming overpowering (unless you overspray).
For the price, it’s a no-brainer.

That said, Nitro Red has a specific vibe that leans toward the youthful. It’s not the fragrance to reach for if you’re heading to a black-tie event or an elegant dinner. It’s bold, playful, and fun - a scent for easy social settings, casual outings, or nights out.
I still wear it proudly despite my "decrepit age" but I know when to leave it on the shelf. Elegant or formal occasions demand something more sophisticated, but for casual use? No problem.

In summary, Nitro Red is a fantastic addition to this olfactory genre. It’s lively, energetic, and contemporary. If you’re into this DNA but want something fresh and distinctive, this one is absolutely worth trying. Just save it for the right occasion.

PS: if you are considering Wavechild because you want the watermelon note, get Nitro Red instead. You will smell it for much longer!

a Better invictus with a watermelon twist.
Very good longivity and projection. Sweet and fresh with a watermelon note that is very pleasant. If you enioy fragrances like hawas and inviticus edt and you also enjoy frangrances such as BR 540 or Club de nuit untold, then this will be right up your ally. Be warned though, don’t overspray as it can be cloying for other people around you especially in enclosed spaces.

Really?! No reviews yet?!
Okay, I'll take a stab at it.
Take Invictus, add a STRONG watermelon note to it, and this is what you get. I might be over 40, but I love juvenile and simplistic fragrances that don't change too much on me. I like smelling good, not "interesting". This is an extremely "young and happy" fragrance. Its fruity sweetness almost takes it to the point where it's no longer viable for summer use. Remember that watermelon chewing gum we had as kids? Take 3kg of that, add 3kg of gummy-bears to that, melt them squeeze 10 drops of lemon into the mix, and boil it until only 100ml are left. That's pretty much what you get. Yes, there are other ingredients, but they are barely even in the background, as nothing can balance this sweetness.

This might sound like a bad review, but it isn't... I LOVE it! It's actually my favorite summer scent so far, and I've tried decants of the top 30 highest rated in here! This and Hawas (basically almost the same, just slightly less extreme in the sweetness) are the best. Yes it's "synthetic", but I'm not eating it. I never came across someone who said I smell "too synthetic". Actually, out of about 50 fragrances I wore, this got the most compliments! (Yes, more than my CDNIM LE), and I test all my fragrances with 4 generations of men and women (mother-in-law, sister-in-law, wife, and niece).

Now for the best part...
Longevity: Easy 10 hours.
Projection: Like a hand grenade for the first 2 hours, and a good sillage trail for another 2-3 hours. This thing tops all the 50+ (winter+summer) frags I've tried in performance.

If you're not a "fragrance snob", and just want to smell fruity sweet, and slightly fresh, this is it! I'll wear it even when I'm 70 years old... That's how much I don't care and love this scent! 1010!

Excluding Invictus Platinum, this is my fave in terms of DNA interpretation. The watermelon makes it contemporary. It's NOT a mature scent!

This, and Nitro White, are two of the most unpleasantly plasticky and synthetic things I've ever smelled. Just nasty.
