Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I absolutely love it; it smells very much like Invictus. I also compared it to 212 VIP Black and they are similar, but I encountered Maxime first. Its projection and longevity are decent.
They tried to copy Invictus, but the Intense version is on another level. Although they are about 80% similar, the Intense is a beast in terms of longevity and projection, whereas Maxime is less aggressive and more wearable.
It smells like Invictus. At first, I didn’t notice, but after a while, it is very similar. With just one spray, it lasts a long time and is noticeable on clothes even when covered. I liked it. It was a blind buy; I enjoy that kind of surprise, like a roulette wheel, getting to experience all the scents.
Considering its price, scent, and performance, it is good. The opening is sweet and fruity with pineapple and tangerine, fresh and sweet. After 30 minutes, subtle notes of saltiness, wood, incense, and cinnamon emerge. Ideal for young people aged 18 to 25. If you like Sauvage, it is similar but sweeter. Longevity and trail are moderate, around 4-5 hours, covering about a metre and a half.
I bought it but can’t find the tangerine notes. I don’t detect the dark woody notes, and the incense is barely there. Pleasant, but too fruity and generic. The fruitiness can become cloying and even cause fatigue.
