    A rare and interesting blend of Invictus and Gentleman Intense; that’s the way it goes. Nothing particularly new, but it’s good and I’d wear it. However, with so many similar scents, I’m not sure it would stand out at a large event.

    Greetings. Please stop claiming that Invictus sets the standard; for me, it is the most generic and run-of-the-mill fragrance, especially with that advertising even on cat food. It is monstrously mass-produced. Tastes break genres: Invictus doesn’t work for me, but this new Zegna, which comes in three versions, I liked. It is woody, warm, and sweet. It isn’t the eighth wonder, but it smells very good. I recommend it 100%.

    A faithful copy of Invictus’s approach. It doesn’t smell the same, but it smells like it wants a share of the loot. Low performance and a generic proposition, not recommended at all.
