    What do reviewers say about Invictus and Primal Code?

    Invictus opens fresh, yes, but underneath there's mineral depth and a warm resinous quality that adds unexpected dimension. The marine and citrus top notes create an immediate impression.Invictus
    Sweet enough to flirt, dry enough to mean it. Most fragrances pick a lane. Primal Code doesn't. That mint-cardamom opening hits sharp, then the vanilla and warm woods arrive to complicate things.Primal Code
