Invictus Victory

Invictus Victory, inspired by Rabanne Invictus Victory (2021)

Invictus Victory works on contrast. A burst of lemon and pink pepper opens it, fizzy and peppery, but it quickly meets incense, which adds a dry, smoky, church-like resin. Lavender sits between the two and gives an aromatic thread. The base is where it gathers weight: vanilla and tonka bean, sweet and rounded, with an ambery depth.

About the original

Rabanne released Invictus Victory in 2021 as an Eau de Parfum Extrême flanker of Invictus (2013). Databases credit Anne Flipo and Domitille Michalon-Bertier, though the brand has not confirmed this. It should not be mixed up with Invictus Victory Elixir (2023), a Parfum Intense, or Invictus Victory Absolu, both later flankers.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Rabanne (formerly Paco Rabanne) stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Reviews and fragrance guides suggest it for autumn, winter and evening wear. The vanilla and tonka base makes it clearly sweet. Men who dislike vanilla or incense should approach it with care.
