Invasion Barbare

Invasion Barbare, a Fresh Refined Woody

Parfums MDCI Invasion Barbare is a fresh refined woody scent. Our version keeps that feel, opening with grapefruit and bergamot before a lavender, violet, and ginger heart settles over vanilla, musk, and amber.

The Story Behind the Scent

Parfums MDCI built Invasion Barbare as a polished, elegant scent, all bright citrus and soft violet over smooth vanilla. The idea was a refined, modern masculinity.

That fresh refinement is its appeal. The grapefruit and bergamot keep it bright, the lavender and violet add a soft heart, and the vanilla and musk keep it smooth. Our interpretation follows that same polished path.
