Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Invictus EDT
Invictus is a mass-appeal marine-citrus powerhouse that radiates youthful energy and sporty confidence. Its bold projection and fresh sweetness make it a crowd-pleaser, perfect for those seeking a vibrant signature.
Statement
Our Verdict - 224 Rabanne Invictus EDC
This aftershave version of 224 IN echoes Rabanne Invictus's marine-citrus opening well, but at aftershave strength it stays close to the skin and doesn't last as long as the original perfume.
