Invictus Aqua (2025)

Since I have seen no mention of this, I’ve done a bit of research, as I was chasing this bottle for a year now. In case anybody out there was wondering how to ensure that you are getting the 2025 release with the chiseled, angled bottle design, just look for boxes on the top and front that says “Travel Exclusive” rather than “Travel Retail Exclusive” which is the 2024 release, round bottle. This way you can dodge a bullet and can return the frag without removing the cellophane. I still have the 2018 version and I genuinely love it so much, that I wanted the new bottle with the frosty finish too, and it’s just a massive bonus that allegedly it’s a close resemblance to the DNA of the original 2016 Aqua release!

Here's a simple take on this: It's basically 75% Montblanc Legend Spirit and 25% original Invictus. Aquatic, grapefruit, a lil sweet and tiny bit salty. I'd rate it somewhere between 8 to 9.5, and personally I would've bought it. But would be redundant for me since I already own a 100ML Montblanc LS.

man i must say so clean very nice sweetness and slaty very nice for summer better than others imo .. great release this is the one

@Yigit001 I own MB Legend Spirit, Rasasi Hawas Ice and the 2025 (sculpted) Invictus Aqua, and to my nose and on my skin the Invictus is by far the least bubblegum-y of the three. To me it is more oceanic, more green, and more ‘natural’ (salty, ocean, somewhat damp) smelling.

Do we really need another entry for the same juice in a different bottle? Great scent though.

Love Invictus Aqua but projection is very tame & longevity not amazing for what is a pretty expensive frag, Hawas ICE will get you there for way less with better performance. If you’re ordering from Rabanne direct (as you can’t seem to find it in retail stores, although I’ve seen it in duty free) just beware they are still sending out the older style rounded bottles not the v shaped newer style bottles which is annoying. Yes it’s the same juice but the new shaped bottles have been out ages so why are they not shipping those especially when their website shows the newer v shaped bottles when you order 🙄

It's the seventh month of a 2025 release and it's still not on the shelves in the states.... I'm convinced the marketing team at rabanne consists of a room full of rhesus monkeys smoking bath salts. Nice corporate gatekeeping Rabanne! 👏 Bravo! smh. #Exclusive #Exclude

this one gives me a headache! synthetic mess!

Ordered this on Rabanne's website and got the 2024 bottle.😐 They must have a good bit of stock left.

I don't know who you're watching/hearing on YT/Tiktok. But i'm in this hobbie for 10 years. And the whole thing about reformulations and now the "maceration" is so out of this world... People need to understand some basics here. In this case, they are changing the bottle design for the whole line. And this one came back as a travel exclusive last year with the old bottle style. Now they decided to put it in the new packaging and sell it in stores. Just that. no reformulations. Look at the ingredients list in the back of the box. in there you see if the formula was touched or not...

I don't understand why are people already voting and giving negative scores. Every time a new fragrance comes out, people just give negative reviews even before it becomes available. And for those who will claim that they have already tried it, well, give a review whenever you spent sometime with it and not just by trying it once or twice. Share honest and valid reviews instead of trolling/hating for no reason.

This is gonna be a watered down version of the Aqua (2024) re-release. Y'all are crazy voting this for enormous performance. I have Aqua (2024) before they went to the contour bottles and it gives me 6-7 hours. The days of Aqua being a Beast (2016) are over. The new Aqua is a great scent though. I'd recommend getting it now before they move it to this bottle.

I have the 2025 angled bottle. it reminds me of Chanel allure homme sport, but with a little citrus in the opening that fades pretty fast, and a lingering marine salty/aquatic touch. A slight bit of the Invictus bubblegum. Not the most projecting, but it’s nice for the office, gym or school.

@AshKindaCringe bro ive seen you twice now crying lol. 2 jabs at 2 fragrances you have never smelled all within the same hour of each other? bro it would be one thing if you truly disliked a fragrance but your just chatting shit about stuff that hasn't even come out yet smh

blindbought this lastnight. i just bought it because i love the og invictus. tested this just now, and all i can say is: LOVE AT FIRST SNIFF!❤️ I'm happy with my purchase. It's very fresh. not sweet at all like hawas ice or hawas og. 10/10 scent-wise for invictus aqua 2025

@ashkindacringe This isn’t for you. This isn’t for me either. It’s for the people Rabanne surveyed, who said they wanted a different take on the original. It’s what the data suggests Rabanne should do. As a marketer, I hope that’s what’s happened here.

@Diorsausage This sculpted bottle is very difficult to find in Europe especially UK and only came out back end of 2025. The bottle most are referring to is the previous rounded bottle not the angular new version.

I'm glad they're releasing a new one every year with this line. This is a good fragrance and necessary as it stands out in it's difference from the typical summer scent.

Looks like the 2024 version that was a travel exclusive, but in the new bottle style. I have the travel exclusive, and it smells quite nice.

@Jesusoursaviour It has literally been out for over a year all over Europe wtf do you mean? And a year before that in a different bottle.
