Which Should You Buy?
Rabanne's Invictus Elixir is a crowd-pleasing, high-performance vanilla bomb that's undeniably popular, despite the grumbles about its lack of originality. If you're after a strong, sweet scent with that classic Invictus DNA, this is your winner.
A budget take on Paco Rabanne Invictus Platinum - the intense minty-lavender freshness over a woody patchouli base. Metallic captures the crisp, aromatic character but renders it flatter and skin-close, with less of the original's refined depth.
