Here I am, about to dive into another review, this time it’s about the unexpected fragrance – Invictus Victory from Paco Rabanne. Launched in 2021, this scent broke the mold of the Invictus line with a unique take on the formula we’d come to expect. Now, I’ll admit, the overpoweringly sweet nature of the original Invictus wasn’t really my cup of tea. But, there’s something about Invictus Victory that’s caught my attention – it feels like it’s not getting the recognition it deserves.
Quick Facts:
Smell:
Most of you, like me, associate the Invictus line with that fresh, synthetic, almost cloyingly sweet smell that sticks in your nose. It screams summer party and strikes me as something best suited for the younger crowd. Now, what if I told you that Invictus Victory takes a complete detour from this path? Surprisingly, it’s a cozy winter fragrance, where cinnamon takes center stage, gently wrapping you in its warm, spicy embrace. It evokes the scent of a freshly baked Cinnabon Roll – comforting and delicious. Despite its wintery notes, it maintains a light and airy composition, steering clear of that synthetic vibe. It’s an appealing choice for a chilly date night, ideally suited for those men who still carry a youthful twinkle in their eyes.
Longevity:
Now, let’s talk about how long this fragrance lasts. Here, Invictus Victory doesn’t quite hold its ground against other winter scents. The trade-off for keeping it light and airy seems to be a compromise on its staying power. Don’t get me wrong, the longevity isn’t terrible, but if you’re hunting for a fragrance that clings to your skin for hours on end, there are stronger winter options out there.
