I don't get people saying it's an Invictus Aqua clone, not just because of their respective release dates but also they smell quite different to me.
A Reddit comment, Sep 2025, 2 points, disagrees
All 40 quotes
both mass appealing, jawa’s better performance and a rejection, all comes down to which scent you prefer, torah is copying tyler and that grapefruit dna is timeless and classic, while hawas is similar to invictus aqua and more juvenile and sweet both are good i have them as well
