Invictus Victory
The 100ml is the size most buyers of this scent end up settling on.
What you get for it is a sweet, smoky men's scent with a short bright start. Pink pepper crackles for a few minutes with lemon cutting across it, neither of them doing much more than clearing a path. Frankincense is the first material with any real weight, dry and resinous, and lavender beside it keeps things soapy and clean in the way a barbershop is clean. The second half is where it earns the money: vanilla, thick and faintly boozy, tonka bean reading almost like marzipan, and amber underneath lending that sticky resinous warmth that makes cheap sweetness and expensive sweetness easy to tell apart.
On skin it behaves generously. The opening hour carries across a room, then it closes in without fading, and a hundred millilitres at that rate of use is a year or more of winter evenings for most people.
It suits restaurants, bars, cold commutes and anywhere a lighter scent would simply disappear. Daytime in summer is the one setting where it becomes hard work. The fragrance is aimed at men, the year given for it is 2021, and the full size bottle is the version worth buying if you already know you like it.
Rabanne is a French house whose name comes from the designer Paco Rabanne, though its fragrances have been made and run by the Spanish group Puig since 1968 and wholly owned by them since 1987. The modern business rests on four pillars, Invictus and 1 Million for men, Lady Million and Olympea for women, and this bottle belongs to the first of them.
