AT THE ORIGIN OF THE MYTH: THE EPIC STORY OF A CONQUERING FRAGRANCE

The story of Invictus began with a radical ambition: to disrupt the codes of men’s fragrance. More than two years of development and nearly 5,000 trials were needed to achieve the perfect balance between the freshness of marine accords and the warmth of guaiac wood.

Since its launch in 2013, Invictus has become an icon. Beyond sport, the fragrance celebrates the myth of the hero, victory and conquest. More than a fragrance, it becomes a true talisman of confidence, driven by the audacity and innovation that shape the history of the House.

THE OLFACTIVE ARCHITECTURE: WHAT DOES INVICTUS SMELL LIKE?

Invictus is built around a clash of opposing forces, creating a dynamic and captivating tension. The opening combines a vibrant marine accord with the zesty bitterness of grapefruit peel, delivering a burst of pure energy. This aquatic freshness is immediately contrasted by an aromatic heart, where bay leaves bring a triumphant dimension.

The trail then develops into a rich woody and ambery depth. Dense, smoky guaiac wood blends with the warmth of ambergris and patchouli to create a lasting sensuality. This blend of base notes leaves behind a charismatic signature. The contrast between citrus freshness and woody depth defines the unique character of this heroic fresh woody fragrance.
