Perfume Parlour Metallic is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Metallic opens with Absinth and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Lavender and Mint, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Cypress. Perfume Parlour's Metallic carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

A budget take on Paco Rabanne Invictus Platinum - the intense minty-lavender freshness over a woody patchouli base. Metallic captures the crisp, aromatic character but renders it flatter and skin-close, with less of the original's refined depth.

About

Metallic opens crisp and aromatic with grapefruit and a daring whisper of absinthe, before a punchy heart of mint and lavender drives the cool, fresh signature that sets Invictus Platinum apart from the sportier original. The base turns woody with patchouli and cypress, giving the composition a refined, green-aromatic close. The original Platinum is praised for its intense minty freshness and a more grown-up, aromatic-woody direction, with five-to-six-hour wear and decent projection; this Perfume Parlour interpretation keeps that cool, herbal character but renders it more two-dimensional, with the mint-lavender heart pushed forward while the woody base sits thinner and fades faster to the skin. It is a clean, confident warm-weather option for the office, casual days and light sport, delivering the Invictus Platinum mood at a budget price.
