Description? Triumphant and masculine, the Paco Rabanne Invictus Eau de Toilette is an ode to the champion at the top of his game. Invictus represents a clash of powers and sensations, where biting freshness meets magnetism in a virile, enduring signature. It is the incarnation of the contemporary hero, a son of Olympus whose invincible success borders on the mythological. A god of the stadium who is first and foremost a man. The addictive, tactile fragrance takes flight with an invigorating marine accord, paired with the sharpness of grapefruit and aromatic bay leaf. Its other half is deeper and more seductive, revealing the unusual headiness of gaiac wood with ambergris and patchouli. Invictus is a true weapon of seduction for the hero whom nothing and no one can resist.
Invictus is a sports fragrance with unique touches. It uses metallic notes to create a new kind of freshness and an almost piquant level of clarity. A warm base of salty ambergris, spiky woods and a touch of amber help make for a fully realised and versatile fragrance that is suitable for wear on and off the pitch.
Housed in a bottle shaped like a trophy and fronted by Australian Rugby League Player Nick Youngquest, Invictus is a fragrance that speaks of champions, victory and almost mythical sporting achievements fought for in vast arenas where sportsmen are viewed as rock stars – gods and gladiators of the stadia.

Citrus and bergamot top notes to summon up the guard and prepare to storm an attack somewhere in between a Corsican scrub - on a myrtle note - and a retreat from Russia. Birch wood and cognac evoke the smell of saddle leather, boots and belts.
The charge will be hasty and imperial… in a rough and ready way! Energetic and clearly manly, Je suis un Homme (I am a Man) suits men who assert themselves…and women who assume their masculine side, ready to launch the offensive without being scared of reversing roles.
