Best of the Invictus Line

Just for me I love this scent. I get that hint of Le Beau smell at first like a lot of folks do. But other than that at first it's definitely the best Invictus flanker I've smelled or used. It gets me great compliments with people asking what I'm wearing, leaves very good scent cloud that gets close to the skin after 5-7hrs, but performance has been amazing to me considering I've not had the same luck with Paco Rabanne in the past. Typically I get the sweet that's strong but dies quickly or super intimate on the skin. With this version I get everything I like in a fall/winter scent without the discomfort of choking folks out at first. I can't recommend this enough & it's definitely one I reach for consistently.

A Strong impression...

This won't go into too much depth on this fragrance but I will be thorough.....
.
Paco Rabanne has a specific DNA & that is a sweet-synthetic DNA. It feels like almost every fragrance they made past the One Million fragrance, has this same kind of feeling. So as for Victory Elixir, it starts off with a sweet blast of vanilla that is mixed with Frankincense & amber. And it's there you immediately notice a synthetic almost cheap like smell, it's not like drug store cheap. It's just noticing the synthetic in it so easily makes it feel like it would be cheap. I kind of see what Paco was trying to do with something like this.
This dense like, sweet juice that has a synthetic feel, sticks to most people skin & definitely sticks to your cloths easily. After about an hour, the vanilla has this coconut feeling behind it with an earthy tone. The patchouli has stepped into play & takes away from the synthetic feel some because it's subtle but easily picked up still by anyone near you. It lasts.
& it's better than anyone back from the past. Easy Blind buy!

The Power of Elixir

Even though Invictus line is in general hated by the community. I think this perfume is decent for the price. For me this Elixir smells like an elixir should. Strong with good projection and longevity. This Invictus accomplished all that however the smell is not my favorite. It smells like a very cheap Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream.
Very synthetic but still decently blended and to my surprise a very nice compliment getter.

Soooo cute....

This fragrance is gorgeous, perfect for winter and fall! It smells seductively sweet with a slightly creamy vanilla. Anyone who likes sweet, gourmand, vanilla fragrances will love it! It lasts a good 4-5 hours. Silliage is just right in my opinion, not too overpowering and not too weak, just right to be noticed. This fragrance has blind-buy potential for me.

Teenage sweetness, synthetic bomb...

Unlike many other people who rate this flanker, I don't own another from the Invictus Victory range. The sweetness of this P. Rabannes creation never really appealed to me, I stuck with my Pure XS and Pure XS Night. At some point, I did buy the elixir, and I still wear it sporadically.

The reason for this is the pungent sweetness. I am not a person who wears little sweet; on the contrary. I love sweet gourmand fragrances more than anything else, but there is something synthetically pungent about Invictus Victory Elixir that drowns out every scent from the opening to the drydown. The vanilla, for example, which is laudably mentioned by many, never unfolds because it simply smells too sweet. I only smell sugar and a little coconut, which is strange because these two notes are not part of the pyramid. This only settles after a good two hours, after which it becomes a little softer. It never gives me a headache, but the tonka bean remains at the end, which is nothing special in and of itself. I don't even categorize it as a nice vanilla fragrance in my head because I don't notice it at all.

I don't want to talk too badly about the fragrance, because I know that many people like it in the air. The target audience is young, the sillage is very strong over three hours, medium after that, and the longevity is at least 8 hours on me. This is definitely a strong fragrance, but as is so often the case with Rabanne, it's the synthetic sweetness that robs it of creativity.
