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!
