What Is Rayhaan Pacific a Dupe Of?

Rayhaan Pacific is an alternative to the original 2016 Invictus Aqua. Our similarity rating for this pair is 93%. If that is the Aqua bottle you know, Pacific is worth a look when you want another fragrance in that style.

Which Invictus Aqua do we mean?

The reference here is Invictus Aqua from 2016, sold as an Eau de Toilette. Aqua has appeared in several editions, including 2018, 2024 and 2025. The 93% rating belongs to the 2016 comparison; it does not carry over to every bottle with Aqua on the front.

That matters when shopping for the original. A retailer link is a starting point, but check the edition with the seller before ordering. A listing that just says Invictus Aqua may need a little more clarification.

Citrus, fresh notes and a woody base

Rayhaan's published notes for Pacific start with bergamot, lemon, tangerine and cardamom. Lavender, laurel and cypress follow, then woody, marine, amber and musky notes. The brand's fuller description gives you more to compare than the short note list on some shop pages.

The 2016 Aqua profile lists yuzu, grapefruit and pink pepper, sea water and violet leaf, then ambergris, amberwood and guaiac wood. The two lists take different routes through a citrus, fresh and woody style. Our 93% rating is about scent similarity, rather than matching note names one for one.

Is Pacific the right bottle for you?

Try Pacific through an ordinary day and see whether you enjoy the base as much as the opening. Longevity and projection are separate from the similarity score, so judge those during your own wear rather than reading them into the percentage.

This page uses the original Rayhaan Pacific. Pacific Aura and Pacific Aloha are separate fragrances. If you meant Aura, our Pacific Aura guide covers that bottle.

Compare current retailer listings, bottle sizes and shipping before buying either fragrance. For Aqua in particular, confirming the 2016 edition is part of making a useful comparison.
