Taking a leaf, or in this case Spines, out of @Darren Poesel’s play book and trying to get some faun and artsy photos. Today I am wearing Dior Fahrenheit Parfum, remember it is opposite land Down Under, as I am in the cooler months of Autumn (fall) heading into Winter. Thanks to the Fahrenheit Kind that is @Michael LoCascio Sr for putting me onto this super amazing Fragrance. Have a great day Brothers

Before you read this review, go look at the notes for this bad boy. I've attached them as a handy picture to this post. Don't worry, I'll wait. Back? Great. Now.... what in the BLUE HECK is that about?! It's fair to say that I came into this one with a sceptical bent. Generally, I like to smell like, well, THINGS. Y'know, fruits, or leathers, or flowers, or nuts, or ANYTHING really. I can extend that out to smelling of stuff like memories or situations, I guess, but THIS? How can I smell like something if I have no idea what it is? Can I really smell like a mismatched set of Scrabble tiles? Aside from Amber, I had little hope for recognition and excitement here. Okay, so I know Ambroxan; Sauvage is a powerhouse popular smell, after all. But ISO-E-Super is an accelerant to me, and everything that concetrates on it smells like a fragrance just waiting for the bloody smells to be added at a later date. And the others? Variations on a theme, and that theme is "confusion". So it came as a shock, when I sprayed this on, that I really liked it. It has a fizzy woody vibe from the get go, which smells resounding, and while it's synthetic it's also much deeper that I anticipated. It's a masculine scent, to me, and it's strangely fresh for a woody offering, but it's absolutely interesting and delicious and cool. As a starter, it absolutely fulfills the brief. Unfortunately, as the notes and the conceit displays, we don't move on to a main course or dessert. The nice opener scent? It becomes the nice middling scent. Eventually it becomes a nice endgame scent, albeit a little more intimate than before. Then it says its goodbyes and sashays away. It's a pleasant smell. But it's one note, copy pasted. For the price, I expect a little... modulation. Interestingly, I feel it does a fine job of conjuring up the essence of its musical pairing. The playlist takes a trot down the chemical boulevard of Acid House, with its synthetic edge and rattlecan repetition. After two hours of the music and only about three changes of pace or tone, I was screaming for something more nuanced, something different. Sure, I liked the song about the robots, but that's it. This smell? The olfactory version of a song about robots. Nice in isolation, but ultimately unfulfilling over time.

This was my second Innvictus purchase, after initially choosing the Platinum version over this, but thankfully I picked it up a few wekks later. This has a nice warm spicey profile with a bright opening. Somewhat different from the OG invictus dna which is more of a fresh aquatic. It still retains that unique trophyesque bottle but I must say, that atomizer is an absolute joke. I have had water pistols that spray better. This one is more of a dribble. The opening is quite brite with a fresh citrusy burst of Lemon, contrasted with that pink pepper that I love. The middle leans into a warmer vibe with a woody/resionus touch from the Frankensense paired witha clean/herbal Lavender note. But its the drydown were Victory comes together with a very dominant creamy blend of Vanilla & Tonka bean. With added depth & warmth from the Amber This is a really well structured scent, with all the individual parts doing their job to create something rather good. It lasts around 7 solid hours and projects really well for 3 to 4 hrs with a rather pleasant scent bubble. ( I like to be able to smell my fragrance in the air throughout the day, not too concerned if others can). Solid fragrance, just wish they would sort out that crappy atomizer.
