This is Armaf’s Odyssey Homme White Edition, the white bottle. Fifteen reviewers who know Invictus place it as a blend rather than a copy: eight smell Invictus as one part of a mix with Stronger With You and Acqua di Giò, two put it at about half Invictus, two call it Invictus-like with a twist, one finds it sweeter side by side, and two find no Invictus in it. The two who time it report five and seven to eight hours.
“It smells like if you took a mixture of 50% Invictus, 25% Acqua Di Gio, 25% Stronger with You, then added some mont.”
