Salt spray and grapefruit soften into sweet synthetic amber.
Sea notes, sea salt and grapefruit open crisp and marine before bay leaf, geranium and warm spice carry it toward something sweeter. Amber and guaiac wood settle it into a synthetic, ambroxan heavy base that reviewers have compared to shower gel.
Perfumed by: Domitille Michalon Bertier & Nicolas Beaulieu
KSI Take: This reads as a sweeter, more synthetic cousin of the original Invictus rather than its own thing, and basenotes reviewers have been blunt about the ambroxan heavy base smelling more like shower gel than perfume. It still performs, with reports of nine to ten hours of wear and strong initial projection, so it works as an inoffensive everyday option rather than anything distinctive.
