NEW! Rabanne Invictus Aqua 2024 | Same or Different?

Many people were left disappointed when the excellent Rabanne Invictus Aqua 2016 was no longer available. Many people mentioned Invictus Aqua was one of the best colognes of all time. Lucky for is it's BACK for a limited time. In this video I'm diving into the comparisons between all three versions of Invictus Aqua.

Chris coming through with the invictus aqua content! The only fragrance KZbinr who actively listens to his subscribers requests. You legend. Edit: This man went and bought this at retail price even though he already owns the 2016 so he could give us these videos.

[@umpus]

It's under £70 with the current discount. A bargain when you see the 2016 prices.

[@marditoon1128]

What discount are you talking about mate?​@@umpus

​@marditoon1128 hey mate. I know you didn't send reply to me. Thought I'd respond to help you get some money off... if you sign up for the Rabanne newsletter they send confirmation with 15% off first purchase. Have to wait a while for it to come through. But eventually it does and you can save some dough. All the best, buddy.

I was really happy to get the 2024 Aqua. I got into the fragrance community after 2016 so I only ever knew Aqua as a long past fairytale and wasn't up for paying the jacked prices for it. I actually love it and am reaching for it all the time. It is absolutely perfect for spring, I find it very refreshing for being a sweet scent. Its nice that you can only get it directly from the Rabanne website, that way every Tom, Dick and Harry won't be walking past smelling like me.

[@gyl168]

Thanks for a good review, I've tried to order invictus aqua from rabane's online store but they only ship to England, Germany and France so I can't get hold of it in Sweden. Rabbane does not listen loud enough to their customers as they limit sales and quantity. I am very disappointed with Rabbane

[@alotafhindi7485]

Yea I’m in the US, it’s bullshit. Just shutout 3/4 of the world smh.

[@sirfrancis2220]

I only see it available on UK and Spain site. Where do you find it in Germany and France? I can't find it in Italy

[@DannyBellTheAuthor]

Both 2016 and 2018 were great, but I actually felt like 2018 was an upgrade and actually better than the 2016. Still, I don't have 2016 anymore and I still have 2018, so I might pick up a bottle of this at some point if it releases in the US.

[@lucasaresky9059]

Noo that s the opposite the 2018 was a big downgrade compare to the 2016. Hope this new one smell exactly like 2016 version like Paco Rabanne pretend.

[@brushlessmicrot]

@@lucasaresky9059I’ve never smelled 2016, however I had a bottle of 2018 and never had any issues with the scent. The atomizer was trash and stopped spraying about halfway through the bottle, but never had any issues with the scent. Smelled rich, performance was great on my skin.

[@davidwestwood2457]

Here for this in the first 23 minutes!! Thanks for this video

[@jaypohl9651]

Hope it’s available in the US soon

[@markan79]

The 2016 was a fav and luckily I still have all but an inch used from 100ml. Interesting to hear your take on the new one as I was gutted when it was discontinued

[@drummeboy9]

I haven't smelt 2016 for 6 years, but upon smelling this I was not wowed like I was 6 years ago. I think there's a difference in quality that makes this 2024 version okay but not amazing.

[@trufnk]

Just bought a bottle this morning from the US site.

[@KeyScents223]

Same

[@user-hw9pv8ys4u]

@@KeyScents223did u like it ?

[@g.d2450]

i had the o.g 2016 aqua and it ran out 2 years later, seen this was on the Rabanne website and straight away got 2 bottles to keep from memory it smells exactly the same but hard to know if it is different maybe due to ifra restricting something that was previously in it and has had to be replaced or if Chris's bottle has just matured over time.... either way it smells bloody amazing lol

[@dirk150384]

still on the 2016, as we have enough other fragrances to give a wear, before they die on the shelf. And youre absolutely right. the aqua 2016 had a light airy vibe. but it kept on going, with whiffs on the skin when it heated up.. It wasnt like original invictus, it stayed a bit backgrounded and airy. but it was long lasting

[@ulasklc4539]

The difference is not because of the maceration. I tested a brand new sealed 2014 invictus edt against 2022 bottle edt. The same exact difference with the aqua versions. More depth with my older batch. But I still wanna get the aqua

[@willtownsend7530]

Thank you for the insight Chris

[@gbnjzl9643]

Hi Chris! Great video. I’ve noticed perfume reviewers throwing terms such as maceration and maturation. Can you highlight the difference between the two and how each process actually affects the fragrance? Cheers!

[@richielovin91]

Thank you man for this in-depth review about one of my favorite frags

[@brians2328]

How does it compare to Legend??!!!

[@richardspurgeon8954]

I did a two year old Mont blanc spirit vs a brand new Spirit and it was slightly different but I believe maceration.

[@willietaylor2563]

Stipulations and restrictions that's why they have to be reformulated and it won't smell as good or perform as good as the original batches

[@justaddlight]

Somewhat coincidentally, I was recently going through my closeted fragrances from yesteryear and found an original bottle of Zara's Teahupoo which was their take on Invictus Aqua 2016 at the time. Originally, it was a blind buy and I absolutely despised a certain synthetic compound in there that reminded me of a solvent in a plastic factory. 😂 Offered it to friends and nobody wanted it. BUT...wouldn't you know it, after sitting in a closet for 6 years, that compound has magically vanished and what's left is so well rounded that it basically just smells like a soapier version of the original Invictus Aqua. Really quite pleasant. Seems like patience won the day this time around. The trade-off is weaker performance somehow??? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Ahh the mysteries of life.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Sounds like a win!

[@Zombiekillrr287]

Great review. Waiting on this

[@sonny_z900]

It's not available in my country (NL), Spain, UK, FR, Germany, US are the lucky ones.

[@altonza]

Thank you Chris; well done 👏🏾🥃🤙🏾

[@anUntouchable]

I got the 2024 version 2 weeks ago and have never tried the original 2016..... I seriously do NOT get the hype for this. I thought it would be something special but to me it is average

[@davidwestwood2457]

good to see a dissenting opinion!! I have a strong feeling I will feel the same way if/when I smell it. I bought a decant of another somewhat hyped one, Invictus Victory Elixir, and I really did not like it. Very sweet and annoying

[@tally1604]

Yeah, one should take hype with a pinch of salt. Bought sauvage elixir blind, and am very disappointed. It's not great, not even good. The only thing it has going is that it lasts and projects.

[@drummeboy9]

Agreed. I can't see why anyone would spend the extra on this over hawas.

[@anUntouchable]

@@davidwestwood2457 Victory Elixir is a great fragrance 😂 def the best of the entire line and one of the best EVER from PR

[@onpoint357]

Sauvage elixir is is good and great to alot of people. Maybe its just not your taste. Everybody can't like everything.

[@evanbabineau2876]

Great review! I’m hoping I can get it here in Canada! I can see it on Rabannes website but can’t add it to my cart! Or any fragrance for the matter.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day

Got this first day of release. I asked Rabanne for a few extra samples and they must have made a mistake as they sent 20x invictus 5ml miniatures, 20x 1 million elixir 5ml miniatures, 20x phantom intense 5ml miniatures and 5x fame intense miniatures 😅 literally a huge box full

I was wondering about the same. After 5 years frags mostly change at least slightly even in the dark

[@btkzooi]

"Would of"?

[@pandafragrance]

I mean I have fragrances that are 30 years old that smell great still. I’m sure Invictus Aqua has very few natural Citrus notes (the thing that usually goes bad) so I’d guess it’s fine
