Composition
Paco Rabanne Invictus is a woody aquatic eau de toilette for men, launched in July 2013. It opens with grapefruit and a marine accord, has a heart of bay leaf and jasmine, and a base of guaiac wood, patchouli, oakmoss and ambergris. It is presented in a trophy-shaped bottle in 50, 100, 150 and 200 ml formats.
To me this smells like standing on the deck of a ship that just won the race. Grapefruit and a salty marine blast hit first, cold spray on your face, and then bay leaf brings this herbal, almost culinary warmth — like a victory feast being cooked below deck. Jasmine softens the middle before the dark woods arrive: guaiac wood, patchouli, oakmoss, the smell of the ship's hull at dusk. Ambergris glows underneath like a trophy catching the light. Fresh but with real muscle underneath. An easy recommendation for most noses.
