Now, I want to state, that this isn’t the same smell as Invictus. Rather, VIP Men Party Fever, has a similar sweet fruity with wood profile as does our target, without the saltiness of the aquatic notes. However, Invictus Aqua never strikes me as being quite to the level of saltiness, in Bvlgari’s Aqva. It also seems a bit more mature than the original Invictus, while still retaining that similar DNA structure. Aqua isn’t nearly as sweet.

The main difference in terms of smell, is that, Wanted is spicier and woodier in its presentation. The lemon note also seems sharper. Cardamom, to my nose, is the ingredient responsible for most of the distinction between these scents.JIMMY CHOO Man Intense Eau De Toilette, Fougere Oriental Woody, 3.3 fl. oz. – Man Intense starts off smelling quite a bit like Invictus and the original Jimmy Choo Man. Then, it does develop its own personality distinct from those two, while remaining in the same ballpark. Oh, and it smells better than both. Milton Lloyd Fame & Glory x2 by Milton Lloyd – If you’re looking for a cheaper option to smell close to Invictus, Fame & Glory by Milton Lloyd, should fit the bill. Milton Lloyd fragrances, do generally, hit the mark of the colognes that they are inspired by. Roma starts off very sweet and with an undertone of mineral oil and violet leaf. That aspect isn’t something that I’m personally too keen on. I actually prefer Invictus in that regard. Carolina Herrera 212 Vip Men Party Fever Eau De Toilette Spray For Men, 3.4 Ounce (Limited Edition) – 212 VIP Men Party Fever is a really interesting scent, that can be sort of difficult to find nowadays, but is still floating around. It has elements of the bold nightlife scent 212 VIP, as well as Invictus, and some distinct elements. Not overall amazing, but a nice all around fragrance. I love the yuzu, the oud isn’t too bothersome, but the end is just to marine for my taste. When it is covered by other notes, it works better.

I’m not always a huge fan of aquatics, especially when it turns to pure sea water. Invictus Aqua is exactly that, deep into the wear. It’s really not my favorite part. Toward the end, what I get is yuzu, guaiac wood, ambergris, violet leaf, and the aquatic notes slowly turning into quite an oceanic scent. It starts to just smell like sea water on my skin. That happens like at the very end of the day, though.Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication. The opening of Invictus Aqua is dominated by fresh yuzu and marine notes. The opening is actually my favorite part of this cologne and the citrus aroma is further enhanced by the inclusion of grapefruit. As it dries down, I get more violet leaf, less of the marine notes, and the intro of the guaiac wood. It definitely grows into a woodier fragrance, with a slight outdoorsy dirtiness to it. The oud isn’t super powerful, but you’ll notice it, when putting your nose close to the skin. It provides a blend of citrus and apple notes with freshness from cedar, a nice ginger spice, and a touch of cannabis. Very much a youthful and sweet smelling scent.
