Which Should You Buy?
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Paco Rabanne's Invictus (2013) - the Veronique Nyberg, Anne Flipo, Olivier Polge and Dominique Ropion grapefruit-marine-ambergris composition that became Rabanne's sport-masculine flagship, here translated into a grapefruit-marine opening over bay leaf and a ambergris-guaiac close. Honest dupe-fidelity for sport and casual wear at a fraction of the designer price.
The Essence Vault's interpretation of Paco Rabanne's Invictus (2013) - Veronique Nyberg, Anne Flipo, Olivier Polge and Dominique Ropion's grapefruit-marine-ambergris signature, here translated into a budget reading with the grapefruit-marine-ambergris spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for sport and casual wear.
