What can I say about this? I'm one of the few fragrance snob reviewers who actually liked the original Invictus (for a little bit anyway) in the current climate it started (or was a prominent milestone in) the philsophy of more is more, four perfumers and even more notes and accords than you could shake a fouled stick at, then came the inevitable flankers. Funny how 'Invictus flanker' rhymes with 'massive wanker' because that's what you look like in the gym or on a youtube video with your tinnie-tiny, trophy, cup. The Aqua one people raved about was garbage, come on? it was!!! Then there's this. I hadn't bothered trying it as I don't with many nowadays, but I sprayed this recently and was surprised how non repulsive it was. I got a kind of light top of aromatic, modern biz, then a light, non intrusive vanillic thing quite soft and round, not my usual bag but not instantly dismissible. No Victory is dismissible after about 20 mins or so when it settles down to a holocaust of atrocious accords floating in a dead vanilla soup, it is truly awful perfume. What an idiot I was humming those opening bars like some buffoon listening to shitty music on the radio, that's the sort of crowd mentality which gets these perfumes made. Yeah it's safe to say I don't like it. I'm not just being mean and snobby I just don't get the point of this stuff, it's like the conflict I get in perfumes like cedrat boisee another work of Satan himself. (Sorry that's melodramatic) it's more like the work of a demon perhaps?
