Bay Leaf
Invictus
Rabanne Invictus is one of the most recognisable men's fragrances of the last fifteen years, and this set pairs the 100ml eau de toilette with a 150ml deodorant spray.
Grapefruit and mandarin orange open it, sharp and tart, and for a moment it behaves like an ordinary citrus fragrance.
Bay leaf and jasmine make up the heart, the bay leaf dry and almost savoury and the jasmine supplying a clean floral lift. Neither is what people remember.
The base is the reason for its success. Ambergris leads it: salty, mineral and faintly animal, it produces that distinctive clean sharpness that gave Invictus its reputation. Guaiac wood adds a dry smokiness, and oakmoss and patchouli pile damp earth underneath. The result manages to read as fresh and heavy at the same time.
How Invictus wears
It lasts a long time and projects strongly, so a light hand is sensible. It works across the seasons and suits the gym and a night out rather than a quiet office.
Rabanne Invictus Eau de Toilette Gift Set, from the fragrance created in 2013 by Veronique Nyberg, Anne Flipo, Olivier Polge and Dominique Ropion for Rabanne, the Paris house making fragrance since 1968.
