I have been a fan of previous releases of Invictus and Victory is a solid addition to the lineup. With a scent that is different enough to distinguish from the original it is something that I would rotate with my current bottles. Like other offerings in the line a little bit goes a long way.

So, Paco Rabanne Invictus Victory, a very new scent. Loved it at first, but got very old quickly. Very syrupy. Love the soft spices in the pink pepper, Lavender and Olibanum which gives the woody spicy. Unfortunately it is overpowered by the vanilla bottom notes, which after about the 3rd use is about all you smell. This scent combination did not last on my skin, giving about 3 hours of lingering scent, mostly vanilla. Would recommend if you like amber followed by vanilla, or something like Armani Code Absolu. Decent, but not for me (Woodier/spicier please).

I like all of the invictus line but victory has such a strong scent with a hint of vanilla that just compliments me so well.

Invictus Victory is fresh, citrus scent, that has a little woodsy spell and that signature vanilla undertone from Paco Rabanne. I think its a younger scent, perfect for going clubbing or on a night on the town. Its fresh enough to wear in the office but not to over powering..definately summer fragrance. Compared to a fragrance like Lucky You, I would choose Victory, but the only problem was, that I didnt get the reaction that I got from the regular Paco Rabanne 1 Million or Invictus. Then benefit of having this fragrance is that it comes on strong the wears away to the wood, tonka bean and vanilla which make it a night fragrance for a nice date. I would recommend this fragrance for a younger fresh out of college student or someone that is just starting to wear cologne, but I would buy it just because it made by Paco Rabanne.

I am typically a guy who would bash Invictus and all its flankers, but I've gotta say that I actually like this one. The gourmand opening is one of my favorite fragrance openings of all time, and that's an incredible statement for me to make. That opening lasts for no more than 30 seconds, which is not surprising given that mall counters sell designer colognes like these solely thanks to the openings. Here's the thing: even after the opening is gone, I still find myself appreciating this fragrance. It has a smoothness that no other Invictus has had. No "blue" vibes whatsoever an hour or so in. It smells relatively high quality and relatively unique, which are things that I rarely say about Paco fragrances. Definitely leans fall and winter, but this is something that could easily be worn year-round as well if you're in the mood for powdery vanillic woodsiness. It's completely inoffensive, but at the same time not boring, blue, feminine, overly synthetic or overly sweet

This scent from Paco Rabanne is quite refreshing. I find myself applying it in the middle of the day, and it gives me a bit of a boost. it smells so very fresh, and slightly lemon-y immediately, but settles into an amazing incense smell, with a hint of vanilla. My fiancé loves it, so I'll definitely be picking up a bottle. It's elegant and refreshing. Highly recommend.

A fun, flirty, yet masculine scent

Don't get me wrong, the scent itself is wonderful but the essential oils used, or the lack there of, is not long lasting. In just a couple of hours, the scent seems to have dissipated into the ether and I'm—and people around me—no longer able to even get a hint of cologne on. If the brand includes more essential oils, that would counter this major problem of owning a perfume.

I got a sample and tried it. It does smelled good but very different from the other parfum i used. My wife does like it more than tho ,more than me.

The scent of Invictus is dark and seductive. It's something I would want to wear to the club or a night out. The pepper notes are a bit strong, so only a little is needed.
