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.
An inventive Perfume Parlour mash-up of Hugo Boss Bottled and Paco Rabanne Invictus - the fruity apple-cinnamon-vanilla warmth of one married to the fresh grapefruit-marine zest of the other. Ra Boss is a versatile crowd-pleaser, though both halves wear flatter and skin-close compared to the originals.
