Festival Vibes for Him

Picked up for $16 bucks along with Nite version at Burlington last week. Grabbed both cause Hollister part of A & C makes good cheap frags...The wave line was just ok to me, cheap, but nothing special, just smell decent. This...Is much better for such a cheap looking bottle. I have never smelled Armaf El Cielo but the bottle is the same color etc. and I imagine they smell the same.... Regular Vibes....Invictus Aqua type for sure. Lasts good on my skin....4-5 hours & is just like invictus aqua, not identical, but it is pretty close to my nose, much more than say Zara Seul etc....Nite version is strong.....Has Ambrox, and that one I imagine is just like Armaf which is described as invitus aqua and Eros....Lasts 8 hours plus, really sweet, not too sweet, kind of beast mode...I picked up Armani Code Absolute, Eros, Invictus Aqua, and some F Black in here......Think Aqua and Eros together....To sweet for heat, but for night time, pound for pound, hard to beat for the price... Both are good. Buy them if see them out if like any of the sweet aquatics, or Eros One million style....For the night version..... Regual vibes for men is Invictus Aqua but not as strong, subtle differences, but close

For such a cheap fragrance from a house like Hollister, this juice is incredible. Colour me surprised, this was a real winner for me. I decided to buy it because I was testing out different summery scents and this one really jumped out at me, it’s dirt cheap, $20 for 100ml here in Australia, so I wasn’t expecting a strong performer or anything but damn this stuff lasts and lasts and lasts and lasts. It opens up quite sweet and aquatic, perfect for hot days, but it’s true magic is in the dry down when it becomes super creamy and soft, a little cloudy too. It’s not listed in the notes but I actually pick up a slight caramel note in this, I wonder what that is exactly? Maybe just my nose perhaps. It’s a great scent, sure it smells synthetic but so do a lot of high end scents, and it’s not a sickly synthetic like a lot of Joop’s and Police, but smooth and delightful. What i’d actually love to do is to spray this all over my bed so I can sleep in it. I’m starting to think Hollister are a little gem in the world of fragrances, everything if theirs that I have has been a great performer, has garnered a bevy of compliments and has made me feel refreshed when wearing. 10/10

This is Valentino uomo Born in Roma, it was even released 1 year prior to that one 😂 Sweet/invictus-y dna, decent performer , I used to get compliments wearing it at school. If it costed 150€ it wouldn’t get that much hate, just look at the Valentino for comparison

Opened this today, hit with deja vu. At first I thought it was Penguin Reserve Original; no, something missing. Then I thought Lacoste Live; no, too fresh. So I sprayed some Festival Vibes on my left wrist, Penguin Reserve on the right wrist, and Lacoste Live on the back of the right hand. The mix of those 2 on the right, yep, that's it. A perfect hybrid of Penguin Reserve and Lacoste Live. But with better longevity (about 4 hours) and sillage (moderate). If I had to pick between the 3 I would probably go with the Lacoste, just because of it's freshness. This Festival Vibes has a far more earthy dry down and over time the difference does become more noticeable. I now await the inevitable - people telling me my nose must be broken :)

At first I wasn't too impressed with this but I really quite liked the dry down which reminded me slightly of Legend Spirit (which I love), it's not the same as that though, probably much closer Invictus Aqua with funnily enough a hint of Nautica Voyage (both coincidentally in the reminds me of section). A decent casual spring/summer scent with OK lasting power for me (although quite soft it hangs around), there are better options out there no doubt but for the lower price at which this can be found it may be worth considering.

A pleasant affordable little summer scent. Its a typical clean freshy with some fruit undertones and a bit of that generic synthetic smell. For the lower price I would recommend it for casual wear, it’s one you will need to overspray to get results from others. It has garnered me compliments..

This is a super dope cheapie! Fresh fruity up top and then a nice creamy ambergris base. Just like invictus aqua 2016. I’ve had it on for seven hours now and it’s still going strong.

Pretty good for the summer time, this fragrance smells fresh with some earthy ans sweet notes. Overall pretty likeable and can be worn in most situations during the summer time.

more close to nautica voyage than to invictus. i'd take nautica voyage over this in retrospect. its a nice freshie but doesnt last

calming light refreshing simple fragrance although it doesn’t really smell like invictus

I got Hollister Festival Vibes for Him about two Black Fridays ago with Festival Nite for Him. Hollister Festival Vibes is simply put an Invictus clone. Now don't get me wrong, I actually do love the Invictus DNA and have my share of Invictus fragrances. Festival Vibes for Him is pretty much a mixture of a number of the Invictus clones out there. Cuba Paris Cuba Winner was one of a few Invictus clones with the bay leaf note from Invictus. Antonio Banderas King of Seduction is a clone of Invictus with pineapple. Montblanc Legend Spirit has a woody note but it was in the base and covered by a deodorant like musk note. Sadly, Festival Vibes really doesn't stand out from the Invictus pack like say King of Seduction Absolute or Jimmy Choo Man Intense except for the bay leaf. Festival Vibes for Him opens with a fruity blast of both pineapple and sea water. I feel there is some grapefruit or orange to it as the pineapple accord gives off a citric feel. The mid I get a lot of bay leaf which I think gets confused with sea water depending on how the sea water comes off. This like Invictus has that blend. I get some woods and green notes from it as well. The base if it lasts, I can get amber though I can't tell if it is ambergris or a more synthetic take like ambroxan, amber wood or amber tonic. Festival Vibes for Him, is a day spring/summer fragrance for most climates. Where I live in Arizona, it can work nearly all year around. It also works for gyms. I could see it sprayed Performance is about three/four hours and is on par with Cuba Winner. It is an OK fragrance and I rate it a 6. I would say get this over the Zara fragrances or Cuba Winner. I do like Winner, but the bay leaf is just a bit more noticeable in Festival Vibes.

This to me seems like a sweeter and sharper Nautica Voyage. Voyage seemed fleeting and had no presence while Festival Vibes does stick around. You can't really expect a lot from a cheap fragrance but this can be a dumb reach for a younger person or someone that wants to keep a cheap bottle around at their work desk in the warmer weather. This isn't bad but don't expect to be blown away. It's only a $20 or less fragrance so set your expectations accordingly.

Hollister Festival Vibes for Him is very much an Invictus clone at a lower price point. It's nothing offensive and would probably make a nice gift to a younger guy who isn't really interested in fragrances. That being said I think it would even become boring to them quite quickly. The most rememberable thing about this fragrance is the performance being poor on my skin.

Festival Nite was so great I bought this Festival Vibes. I don't know why but sillage is incredible weak and the smell dissapears in one hour. I won't recommend this either (Canyon Escape and Canyon Rush were also dissapointment).

I like it. it has a nautica v. vibes with some pineaple. longevity pretty good around 5-7 hours on my skin. I like it and I think will buy it again. suitable for everyday use especially in tropical place like mine.

this is probably what little 12 year olds imagine when they hear nautica voyage, this is what nautica should be, a sweet green oceanic fragrance, this is amazing stuff, its a shame its such a tiny (yet cool designed) bottle, you can find it cheap at TJmaxx or other similar stores.

This cologne reminds of 212 VIP Men Carolina Herrera and I just bought Mont Blanc emblem intense all 3 have the same identity of scent so if your looking for a 212 vip clone this is it along with Mont Blanc emblem intense great cheapie

Goo scent for a rack store cheapie. Nothing special, nothing mind blowing. A fresh summer cheapie, nothing more or less.
