By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit opens with a marine-tinged brightness — the citrus loud and clean, suggesting open water before the fragrance settles. Jasmine in the heart is light and airy, more of a floral freshness than a heady bloom, briefly present before giving way. The base is where Invictus makes its case: oakmoss and patchouli giving the fragrance unusual depth for its type, ambergris extending the trail with that characteristic warm-marine quality. For a mainstream aquatic-fresh masculine, Invictus has a better base than it gets credit for — the mossy-amber foundation outlasting most of its competition from the same era. Designed for crowds; delivers in that context.
