INVICTUS AQUA 2016 VS MONT BLANC LEGEND SPIRIT (opens in a new tab)I've tried Legend Spirit and Aqua 2018 and scent wise LS is better imo. Would go for LS over all Invictuses

INVICTUS AQUA 2016 VS MONT BLANC LEGEND SPIRIT (opens in a new tab)I have both and - IMHO, - I like the dry down on Legend better and Legend's performance is respectable 5-6 hours for me.

YouTube comment@Cato1006
INVICTUS AQUA 2016 VS MONT BLANC LEGEND SPIRIT (opens in a new tab)I have invictus aqua 2016, very synthetic compared to Legend Spirit which smells more natural.
YouTube comment@drilling-billy
INVICTUS AQUA 2016 VS MONT BLANC LEGEND SPIRIT (opens in a new tab)Downside is that it wears out quickly (around 2/4 hours in my opinion)
