Phenomenal Summer Wear
I’d like to preface this by stating I have only recently gotten into colognes within the last couple of months. I’m actually kind of obsessed unfortunately because just like whiskey hunting, this is a very expensive hobby haha. Additionally, as we all know, skin chemistry plays a role in what scents I associated with this bottle.
My first impression was not all that great. I’m not a person that enjoys sweet smelling scents unless they’re very subtle or if it’s colder. The top note for me was very much a sweet, bubblegum, and wintergreen/mint scent profile. Honestly, was disappointed with the blind buy, BUT I had to give it a chance on my skin.
after putting it on and letting the scent evolve, it opened up tremendously. Very clean and soapy smell, with a lot of aquatic freshness. This particular scent did a great job maturing, and ironically, left me feeling more mature/masculine wearing it. now the top note is growing on me much more and has actually let me appreciate my bottle of Patek Maison Prisme Vert.
DNA of this scent was extremely familiar, which is a good and a bad thing for me because I simply like uniqueness (Which is why I still have yet to buy aqua de gio or dior sauvage — and yes I know they’re extremely wonderful scents) However, the familiar smell was a nostalgic scent that I can’t put my finger on from when I was younger.
Highly recommend. It projects well, it lasts FOREVER. It sounds like an exaggeration, but when i tried the scent, i went for a 2 mile run in 93 degree heat and high humidity (I live in Louisiana). After profusely sweating, the scent was still just as strong and present. after showering and scrubbing the areas i applied my cologne to, it was STILL there. I intentionally tried to get the scent off because I also got a sample of gucci guilty I wanted to try out, and I just could not get it off. I ended up just reapplying the Invictus parfum because I wanted a fresh distribution of a cologne for my plans on going out.
Additionally, I’ve worn a lot of different scents the last few months, and I got the most compliments on this one in just ONE night. Sitting in the car with my friends waiting for our food to come to the window, and one of the 3 women I was with immediately said “Your cologne is circulating the car right now and it smells so good,” which was then followed by another one of the women saying “yeah and I’m definitely not complaining.” I’ve been around these women multiple times wearing multiple scents, and I have never gotten them to say anything about my cologne. So it’s nice when I get to wear scents for myself to enjoy, and still get compliments like that.
Hope my review helps someone!
