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 Victory - the zesty pepper-and-lemon opening that dries to smoky incense, tonka and amber. Triumph captures the bold, night-out character but renders it flatter and skin-close, trading the original's sweet warmth for a quicker fade.
