…until my best friend who isn’t into fragrances gave this to me as a gift.
I was dumbfounded, and initially thought it was a new “limited edition” Invictus. I further examined the bottle and realized that it was from the famed watch manufacturer.
I searched and searched for reviews, and can’t even find in on Fragrantica. Even YouTube/tiktok is hard to find.
I cracked it open and sprayed, and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the ingredients. They weren't crazy super chemical feeling.
As I anticipated though, it was a Sauvage clone. EDT to be specific. Very strong on first spray, and it dives right into the mid/drydown of EDT. Projection is strong in the beginning, but it dies down quite rapidly. Silliage is moderate. I’d suggest Armaf The Pride as a better clone, but overall I’m happy with it. I’ll take it on long trips as a dumb reach when I don’t have the time to pack anything “real”
