Invictus Victory Elixir
by Paco Rabanne
Invictus Victory Elixir presents a rich, gourmand scent centered around vanilla, amber, and tonka bean, with a noticeable coconut-like sweetness that some users describe as lactonic or milky. The fragrance is assertively projected with enormous sillage, making it impossible to miss, and its longevity is exceptional—lasting well beyond 10 hours on skin. While the opening features aromatic lavender, cardamom, and black pepper, the scent quickly transitions into a warm, sweet core with deep, resinous notes reminiscent of olibanum, which add an animalic depth that lingers subtly. It is regarded as a more refined, darker evolution of the original Invictus Victory, with a stronger focus on gourmand elements and smoother performance. Users report it is particularly effective during evenings and in colder seasons, and it draws frequent compliments due to its strong presence and magnetic scent profile.
