Learn more about Invictus fragrance

• What are the main notes of Rabanne’s Invictus fragrance?
  

  Rabanne’s Invictus fragrance is defined by a bold contrast between striking freshness and animalic sensuality. Its main notes include marine accents, zesty grapefruit accords, and a woody base of ambergris and guaiac wood, creating a unique and captivating olfactory signature. These are the notes of the original Invictus Eau de Toilette; each other fragrance in the line reinterprets them at a different intensity.

• How long does Invictus last on the skin?
  

  It depends on the concentration. The original Eau de Toilette is the lightest in the line. Invictus Elixir, an Elixir Parfum, is the most intense and longest-lasting fragrance in the Classic family. Applying it to moisturised skin and the collar of your shirt extends the scent trail, as fabric retains the fragrance longer than skin.

• Is Invictus suitable for everyday use or rather for special occasions?
  

  Both, depending on which one you choose. The original Eau de Toilette is the everyday and daytime option, fresh with grapefruit, a marine accord and guaiac wood. Invictus Elixir is the one made for evenings, celebrations and colder months. Invictus Aqua is the most summery.

• What is the difference between Invictus and Invictus Victory Elixir?
  

  The original Invictus is a fresh woody Eau de Toilette built around grapefruit, a marine accord and guaiac wood. Invictus Victory Elixir belongs to the Victory branch of the line and explores a gourmand oriental profile of vanilla and tonka bean. They share the trophy bottle and little else in terms of their olfactory profiles.

• Is Invictus available in different formats or concentrations?
  

  Yes. The line ranges from Eau de Toilette to Parfum and Parfum Elixir, and the fragrances are available in 50, 100 and 200 ml sizes depending on the reference. The collection also includes deodorants, shower gel, travel sizes and gift sets.

• Which Invictus should you choose?
  

  It depends on the intensity and the occasion. Invictus Eau de Toilette is the original and the most versatile, fresh with grapefruit, a marine accord and guaiac wood. Invictus Elixir is the most intense and longest-lasting of the Classic family, built around a salty mineral accord, aromatic cypress and vanilla caviar. Invictus Aqua is the most summery. Invictus Parfum takes the signature further with fresh lavender and an addictive musk. In the Victory branch, Victory and Victory Elixir move towards a gourmand oriental profile of vanilla and tonka bean, while Victory Absolu is the most mineral, built around black pepper, ambergris and incense.

• Which is the best Invictus?
  

  Within the Classic family, Invictus Elixir is the most intense and longest-lasting, as it is an Elixir Parfum concentration. The original Eau de Toilette remains the lightest and most versatile in the collection.

• What is the difference between Elixir and Parfum?
  

  The difference comes down to concentration. An Eau de Toilette is the lightest and freshest, a Parfum is more concentrated, and a Parfum Elixir is the densest and longest-lasting of the three.

• Which Invictus for which season?
  

  Invictus Eau de Toilette is suited to spring and summer and daytime wear. Invictus Aqua is the most summery fragrance in the line. Invictus Elixir is the one made for evenings and colder months.

• Is Invictus a fragrance for men or women?
  

  The Invictus collection is created and marketed as a collection of fragrances for men. The profiles are not restrictive: anyone can wear them if they are drawn to salty notes, citrus, dry woods or warm vanilla.

• What is the Invictus bottle?
  

  Each Invictus fragrance is presented in the sculpted trophy bottle, a classic ornamental design that embodies achievement. The original comes in clear and silver glass, Invictus Elixir is cast in gold, and Invictus Aqua features navy blue glass: the colour of the trophy indicates which interpretation of the line you have in your hands.

• Is Invictus a good gift?
  

  Yes. The trophy bottle makes the collection instantly recognisable, and the line offers ready-made gift sets combining a fragrance, deodorant and travel size.
