Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Salt Caramel Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper divisive marvel. You'll either get delicious, buttery salted caramel popcorn and love it, or it'll go full-on cat pee and you'll run for the hills. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.
Statement
Our Verdict - Invictus Elixir Eau de Parfum
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.
