A long shot

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

A long shot. That is where Strong Water lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Invictus Aqua.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Invictus Aqua's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

It is $89 per 100ml.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
