SOTD: Invictus Victory by Paco Rabanne 14/04/2026
This was my second Innvictus purchase, after initially choosing the Platinum version over this, but thankfully I picked it up a few wekks later. This has a nice warm spicey profile with a bright opening. Somewhat different from the OG invictus dna which is more of a fresh aquatic. It still retains that unique trophyesque bottle but I must say, that atomizer is an absolute joke. I have had water pistols that spray better. This one is more of a dribble. The opening is quite brite with a fresh citrusy burst of Lemon, contrasted with that pink pepper that I love. The middle leans into a warmer vibe with a woody/resionus touch from the Frankensense paired witha clean/herbal Lavender note. But its the drydown were Victory comes together with a very dominant creamy blend of Vanilla & Tonka bean. With added depth & warmth from the Amber This is a really well structured scent, with all the individual parts doing their job to create something rather good. It lasts around 7 solid hours and projects really well for 3 to 4 hrs with a rather pleasant scent bubble. ( I like to be able to smell my fragrance in the air throughout the day, not too concerned if others can). Solid fragrance, just wish they would sort out that crappy atomizer. My Rating 8/10 Scent 2.5 Longevity 2.5 Sillage 2 Y/N 1
