Wicked

Wicked is MPF's overt nod to the Paco Rabanne Invictus formula and is sold as such across European resellers in the dupe-house EU distribution chain. The opening lands on grapefruit and the marine signature that defines the original, a cool aquatic-citrus accord with a juicy mandarin lift that sets the energetic tone. The heart pulls in the aromatic bay leaf that gives Invictus its slightly herbal masculine spine, supported by a quiet jasmine that softens the salty-citrus opening. The composition reads cleanly fresh, with the gym-bag-friendly profile that the original built its reputation on. The dry-down runs on ambergris and guaiac wood, the same warm-woody base that anchors Invictus, with patchouli and oakmoss giving the trail a mossy bottom that the original carries. Projection is moderate for the first two to three hours and the wear stretches to a comfortable five to six on skin, performing best in spring and summer office, casual or sport contexts. Reviewers in the dupe community treat MPF Wicked as a budget interpretation rather than a one-to-one clone, with the brand's own EU resellers explicitly linking to the Invictus Fragrantica page. In the broader dupe-house landscape it sits next to Armaf Hawas and Lattafa Mukhalat as another budget take on the aquatic-masculine archetype, reading a fraction less sparkling than the designer source.
