Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Invictus Elixir EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - La Veectus EDP
An inventive Perfume Parlour mash-up of Paco Rabanne Invictus and YSL La Nuit de l'Homme - the fresh grapefruit-marine top of one married to the cardamom-lavender-cedar sophistication of the other. La Veectus is a versatile day-to-night hybrid, though both halves wear flatter and skin-close compared to the originals.
