I knew hawas was going to be mentioned in the video as soon as I saw the title. It is on a lot of alternative list. Makes me hype every time I hear about it. I love it when you always bring it up. It doesn’t make sense to me either that people compare it to Invictus aqua when hawas came out a year before that. Hawas is a head Turner. It’s beast mode. The whole batch variation stuff is nonsense. I don’t pay attention to that. I just want to laugh when I hear reviewers say it doesn’t last like the previous bottles. just get the fragrance and enjoy it. I’m on my second bottle right now and i got 12+ hours with both. I have a third bottle i got recently. Hawas regards attention. It’s a room filler. It’ll get you notice. I received a lot of compliments when wearing it. It’s unique. thank you Omar

It is just that original starter of the DNA's are always the best ones to go with so I agree with you, you are not biased for paco rabanne. Imagine saying a bleu de chanel clones are better than bleu de chanel itself, it is impossible. Or telling club de nuit intense is better than avetus because of the performance but it is not. Some like hawas rassasi more because it has better performance but it lacks the light airy character of the invictus edt.

Invictus is still very popular and it will be for years to come, the DNA is a complement magnet, its very mass appealing and young ladies love it!! and it perform like a beast, the alternatives you have listed also good, but can't match the Invictus DNA mass appeal. In my opinion, no perfume house can do sweet perfumes like Paco Rabanne does, the sweet note that they use in all their perfumes is very sexy, seductive and alluring.

I love Invictus, but it is basic. There’s just something juicy and sweet about it that I love. Still one of my faves. I layered it with 9PM to see what it would smell like…and it is heaven! Holy crap! So intoxicating. The 9PM adds this spicy, ambery, blast to the Invictus! It smells so good! Try layering. I’m really into it. I love coming up with new combos. 9PM and Invictus equals one pleasant smelling sweet bomb!

Can I copy this because I 100% agree with you. Many designer houses use pretty much the same materials but some has artificial scent and some don't. For example Bleu de Chanel is more artificial than Versace Pour homme but Chanel has better quality.

I don't care for Invictus and really really dislike hawas, in the can't stand territory for that one. Invictus legend is almost a love for some reason. I don't know what it really is but I had a 5ml and I enjoyed wearing it this summer. I guess it takes the things I didnt like in the DNA and slightly changes them to my liking which is rare for a flanker. It's not a beast on my skin like most claim, but it performs well for me which is all I need. The only thing is its discontinued, go figure the only one I actually like and its not on the market. I have to figure out if I really want a bottle soon because it's getting more and more expensive daily. Didnt really think we needed a video on this but hey I guess we did. Cheers Omar! One last thing... You were right about Dior homme 2020 vs Dior homme sport 2021. I love both but Sport 2021 performs better and has a refined complex yet simple profile that has been a compliment magnet for me.

You couldn't have made this video at a better time to make a point i was trying to put across in my review of Hawas which has been voted as being similar to Invitcus Aqua but when i put Absolu as a similarity and oh boy was it polarizing and i knew instantly it was because there was no way some people would allow a fragrance that had been highly rated as similar to an Invictus fragrance would be allowed to be votes as being similar to an Aqua Di Gio product. As i was posting the review your video was posted and i was like YES! this! Go look at this video people for exactly what i am talking about. So thank you for releasing such a perfectly timed video lol 👍

What is this obsession with 'moving on' from certain fragrances? A good fragrance is a good fragrance. I couldn't give a shit if it was released 10 mths or 10 yrs ago, if it smells nice, and works on my skin then I am wearing it. I wear fragrances for my pleasure, not others. So many nowadays are buying fragrances just because they're the latest release and they want to be seen by others rocking the latest trend. I get it, especially with the younger generation, but just because it has 'elixir' or 'extrait' attached to the name it doesn't automatically negate all of the classic scents released over the years. It's kinda sad that recency bias is such a big thing in the fragrance community.

Here in Florida you don't really get a change of seasons just a few cold days a year.It is a bit over priced but smells great on me. I got whoffs of it for at least 5 hours sitting in a very cold Church in the morning on Sunday.
