Decanted Sample of Invictus Victory Elixir by Paco Rabanne

This one threw me off. I can see what it is trying to do, but I think there are much better vanillas out there. Still a popular option that a lot of people do seem to like.

I'm a fan of most of the Rabanne colonges and this one might be my favorite. very sweet and vanilla, with some spice. Projects well and lasts. excellent anytime.

After buying the decant I went for the full bottle. it is one of my go to and favorite scents for winter.  I love the sweetness it gives off. You definitely do get the incense smell but it's not long and the dry down is fantastic.

This is one of my favorite scents.  The carmel note is addictive but it is also a little mix of spicy that blends the sweet carmel well.

This is like the syrup you get in a snow cone. Way too sweet for me.

I actually find the dry down on this fragrance one of the better ones. Not as big of a fan of the opening, but the dry down is very good.

To me, this smells nothing like the original invictus, which is fine. This is a caramelly sweet type of scent, with some smokiness in it. It projects loudly and lasts a long time too. I recommend it if you like sweet-ambery scents.

Perfect blend and balance of sweet, spicy, and loud. This is a little different than most fragrances and has some darkness with freshness in it. I love most fragrances from this house. Worthy of a full bottle!

I see why people love this. For me there is something my nose doesnt like. Cant put my finger on it. I get an almost coconut vibe even though i dont think there is coconut in it. Dunno but overall nice. Good longevity

Just what the title says. I put on 2 sprays of this and had no idea it was this strong. I almost choked out the entire room. But it does smell really nice. I can smell vanilla and amber distinctly. Other people have said that they smell coconut as well but for some reason, I don'tz

Very mass appealing. Plenty of better options out there if you’re just getting into fragrances though.

I’m a big fan of most Paco Rabanne fragrances. I think this one is well done and mass appealing. Nothing special but solid. Good performance.

I’ve smelled hundreds of scents, but this is my favorite scent out of the entire Paco Rabonne. lineup. Better than anything Armani/JPG/Versace/Dior/Tom Ford/LV/Creed/Azzaro/YSL/Xerjoff/Parfum de Marly produced. It’s not overly sweet, nor spicy, but it lasts long. I wanted to find something better than Bleu De Chanel, and I think I’ve found it. Hope I’m not overhyping it
