Skip the Invictus Aqua price tag. A Hawas Ice by Rasasi fragrance sample gets you most of the way there.

An inspired fragrance

This is Rasasi's take on Invictus Aqua by Rabanne, and reviewers who've smelled both put it close, not identical.

It opens on apple, italian lemon, sicilian bergamot, star anise. The heart turns to plum, orange blossom, cardamom. It settles into musk, amber, moss, driftwood.

Notes
