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 Aqua - the buoyant yuzu-grapefruit opening over a watery, woody-musk base. Strong Water captures the lighter, summery Invictus character but renders it flatter and skin-close, trading the original's polish for a quicker fade.
