Epoque
Invictus Elixir and Epoque share a unisex profile and similar price point, but diverge significantly in scent. Invictus Elixir leans into a sweet, mass-appealing vanilla fragrance, inheriting the Invictus DNA for a crowd-pleasing experience. Epoque, on the other hand, presents a lush tropical floral, creating a more divisive, potent, and pretty fragrance. Epoque is for those seeking a unique floral, while Invictus Elixir caters to those wanting a safe, sweet, and powerful vanilla scent. The shared benzoin note is overshadowed by their distinct accord profiles.
