Paco Rabanne Invictus Victory Eau de Parfum Extreme Review
Be bold and fearless and feel victorious with Paco Rabanne Invictus Victory Extreme, a fresh-oriental fragrance for men that brings together two contrasts – fresh lemon and sultry vanilla…
The Most Important Thing About This Invictus Victory Is…
A collision of opposites that shouldn’t work yet fuse together to create something unique and beautiful, the Paco Rabanne Invictus Victory Eau de Parfum is an addictive marriage of freshness and sensuality.
Victory opens with a sharp and zesty burst as juicy lemon is enhanced by the spicy nuances of pink peppercorn; surrounded by the aromatic heart of comforting lavender and the rich smokes of powerful incense. The base offers a rush of allure as it brings together creamy vanilla with warm and gooey amber, backed up with the roasted roundness of tonka bean.
The Eau de Parfum evolves from a sweet and sharp freshness to a warm and alluring fragrance that lingers on the skin with a captivating and almost gourmand warmth. It’s like getting out of the shower and feeling crisp and fresh, and then being sat by a roasting fire and feeling the cosy warmth on your skin – it’s so addictive!
You Will Love This If…
If you love Paco fragrances for men, you’ll definitely love Victory.
Invictus Victory Smells Similar To:
Invictus Victory retains the same citrusy-fresh start as the original Invictus, but this takes a unique twist as it veers towards rich gourmand scents. If you love Paco Rabanne Pure XS or Armani Code Absolu, then Invictus Victory will be right up your street.
Is Victory Unisex?
Despite being marketed at men – and yes, it does have an undeniable “masculine” edge – I would say Invictus Victory is definitely unisex. I loved the citrus-vanilla edge of this as did my partner, and it’s one we would both wear. With fragrance, there is no gender – it’s all about finding scents you like!
What’s The Longevity Like?
The Eau de Parfum is extremely powerful and long-lasting. The fresh zesty lemon gives way to the aromatic heart, but it’s the warm amber and vanilla base that dances on the skin long into the night.
What’s The Story?
Invictus Victory Extreme has been created to play with the senses and create a duel between two iconic fragrance notes. It’s meant to take you by surprise and invites you to push your limits and break boundaries to be a winner and accept any challenge, just as this fragrance is a challenge between two fragrance families.
What’s Special About The Bottle?
If you’re a fan of the original Paco Rabanne Invictus, then you’ll recognise the trophy-shaped bottle, but it’s now had a makeover and is dressed in glossy midnight black, which amps up the drama. The golden V on its chest gives the bottle an added elegance, while the hidden press button is concealed within the crown of the trophy, making you feel like a winner every time you spritz it.
