Aqua 2018 is a nice release and a true Aquatic/Marine fragrance, that luckily does not smell like Invictus.

I would even say that you actually have to be careful on the trigger, as this thing packs a punch like pretty much everything from Paco Rabanne’s house. I mean sure there are other fragrances that smell similar to this but I always kind of thought of Invictus Aqua as the best execution of that DNA. The longevity is amazing both on skin and paper, I get at least 6 hours and I can smell the paper in my room while I lay maybe 2 feet away. Okay, this one will probably come off as a bit generic, but that's fine by me because it's pretty much my favorite summer fragrance ever created.The 2018 version that came out right now, is incredible, compliment monster, this perfume is being underrated by others, but i disagree; it so much versatile, I am wearing it in the winter time and I gathered compliment. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the rat race and forget to appreciate things for what they are rather than what we wish they were. Aqua 2018 can now compete directly with other true Aquatic/Marine colognes that are on the market now. A good alternative is Rasasi Hawas wih greater perfomances despite the fact that Aqua also has good performances. It dries down into a fresh and sweet base with a touch of powder and all the other things that make it unique fade away.

Top notes are Grapefruit and Violet Leaf; middle notes are Sea Notes, Violet, Woody Notes and Palisander Rosewood; base notes are Ambergris and Amberwood. On the whole, Invictus Aqua is less mineralic and musky than the finish of Invictus Aqua, missing some of that slight animal ambergris potency in place of smooth mass-appeal tonka slickness, which works better with the top and heart treatment anyway.

The new releases Invictus Aqua and Olympéa Aqua are out in early 2016, further emphasizing the aquatic character of these compositions.

The bitter green citrus opening washes into an off centered violet dark green then sprays outward into turquoise and lightning charged ozonic air.Also referred to as aromatic water, EdTs, such as this one, have a lower proportion of volatile oils than EdPs do, generally between 5-15%. The biggest difference between Invictus and Invictus Aqua will be the way the ambergris note is treated, above all else and regardless of version you try.
