It has a similar DNA to Rabanne Invictus Victory Elixir. In general, I find this 02 smother and refined, (less in your face). The opening hits with the beautiful vanilla sweetness and the warm warmth and powdery nuances from the amber. As it dries down, the sweetness tones down and the ambery/ resinous character from the amber and the labdanum intensifies turning the aroma into to a more rich and denser matured scent. This is a beautiful, alluring, intoxicating and very appealing fragrance. Projection and longevity are really good. It’s more appropriate for fall and winter, night outs, dates and special occasions if you will (I will use this anyway within climate controlled scenarios). Very well done, I love it!
