How does this 2018 version compare to the original 2016 Invictus Aqua?+−
The 2018 version, housed in a clear bottle, is broadly similar but features a slightly more prominent woody base. Many users find it a bit less "salty" and more "fresh-sweet" than the original discontinued 2016 release.
Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
While it is categorized as a leisure and daily scent, it can work in professional settings if applied moderately. Its clean, aquatic nature is generally inoffensive, though its sweet undertones make it most at home in casual environments.
How long does the scent actually last on skin?+−
For an aquatic EDT, the performance is solid. Most users report getting seven to nine hours of longevity, with the ambergris and woods lingering as a pleasant skin scent long after the citrus notes have faded.
Can this fragrance be worn in the winter?+−
It is specifically designed for spring and summer. The cold air of winter tends to suppress the marine and citrus notes, making it feel thin; it performs best when the heat can help the scent project.
