“Let's be real- this smells like a LOT of other colognes out there. Some folks say that this smells like Invictus Aqua 2016, but that's backwards- this was around before that one. You can get this scent (or at least very close) via any number of other Invictus clones.BUT - you won't get them exactly like this, with this level of power.Sweet, bubblegum, marine notes... It's simple, and it won't take you on a journey- but it's really good at being uncomplicated and pleasant.When my wife was taking little sniffs of the caps of my new scents, she paused for a very long time on this one. "Now THIS I love"- but she's never said that about any of the scents I have that are similar. Haven't met a person yet that does not love this.It's not as cheap as it used to be, and is probably at the top edge of where I'd feel ok with the cost/value proposition, but at 65$ it was still a solid purchase. Not sure how much higher I'd go for something that lacks depth/complexity/unique profiles.”
