Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

Invictus excels in spring and fall with its fresh marine opening and aromatic heart, while the ambergris and woody base offer enough substance for cooler days. Its aquatic-citrus character suits summer but can be piercing in winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport

With its energetic projection and sporty-fresh profile, Invictus is ideal for casual, date, and active settings. Its boldness can be distracting for office or formal use, but it works well in lively or social atmospheres.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bay laurel Laurus Nobilis Leaf Oil from Bay Leaf

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Invictus Eau de Toilette charges forward with an invigorating splash of grapefruit and marine notes, evoking the rush of ocean air and sunlit sport. Bay leaf and jasmine add aromatic lift, while ambergris, guaiac wood, and oakmoss create a salty-woody base that lingers on the skin with modern, synthetic clarity. Uplifting, dynamic, and undeniably masculine, Invictus is the scent of victory - a bright, aquatic statement for the energetic and bold.
