Invictus (Paco Rabanne)

Fellas, let’s talk about Invictus, the first in the line of the so-called “bubblegum-fragrance” category. This famous perfume from Paco Rabanne has been promoted like crazy, and it’s no surprise there are tons of flankers by now. But today, we’re going back to the roots and discussing the original Invictus.

Quick Facts:

  • Scent Profile: sweet, fresh
  • Season: all-seasons
  • Longevity: average
  • Occasion: nightlife
  • Price: $$

Smell:

Alright, Invictus is pretty much the epitome of a bubblegum fragrance. It’s sickly sweet, yet also fresh and aquatic, with a heavy dose of synthetic vibes. To sum it up in three words: synthetic, fresh, and sweet. And I mean, REALLY sweet.

It’s so annoyingly sweet that it demands attention, whether that’s good or bad. The only guys who can pull off this scent are young teenagers trying out nightlife for the first time. Wearing Invictus to a house party or nightclub as a teen? It’s a valid option. After all, we’ve all been through that annoying phase, so why not match it with an attention-grabbing fragrance? But if you’re over 21, steer clear of this one.

Longevity:

When it comes to longevity, Invictus has got you covered for the entire party. The sweetness clings to your skin for hours even after the fresh aquatic notes have faded. Plus, it’s a loud scent, so you’ll definitely be noticed.

Final Thoughts:

So, my teenage friends, if you’re gearing up for your first party and want a fresh, attention-grabbing fragrance, go ahead and give Invictus a shot. Everyone else, stay far away, and please, don’t even think about wearing it anywhere but a party.

If you’re into the Invictus vibe but want something more refined, the discontinued Invictus Aqua flanker is worth a try if you can find it. And for older gents (30+) looking for a fresh, sweet party fragrance, check out Hawas from Rasasi as a more mature option.
