Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Invasion Barbare EDP

A divisive barbershop, this one. Some swear it's a genre-defining masterpiece, a modern fougere elevated to art. Others find it an overpriced, medicinal mess with too much vanilla. One thing's for sure: it's anything but boring. Sample before you commit to the hefty price tag.

Our Verdict - L’INVASION EDP

L'INVASION follows MDCI's Invasion Barbare note for note - citrus and violet leaf into a lavender-cardamom fougere heart over vanilla-musk - but with less of the artistic polish that earns the original its cult status.

Its moderate projection and clean, sophisticated character make it suitable for office wear, though its cost and luxurious feel might be overkill for daily casual use.
