I received this item for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. This now I believe my third Paco Rabanne fragrance I’ve received from Influenster and I have to say of the three it’s probably my favourite. But having said that it’s not without its flaws. Right off the top; it’s another very sweet, floral scent. I tend not to be a fan of overly sweet scents, though as mentioned this one I do like this one more than the previous scents from this company. Once that sweetness and floral starts to dissipate and it settles down, it’s a much more subtle refreshing scent. But that brings me to to perhaps the biggest flaw with this one which is its staying power. Within a few hours you probably won’t even notice you’re wearing anything at all.

But that brings me to to perhaps the biggest flaw with this one which is its staying power. Within a few hours you probably won’t even notice you’re wearing anything at all. Compared to the other scents from this company (and other companies that I’ve also received from Influenster over the years) this has to be probably the shortest lasting scent I’ve tried. For some, this could be seen as a positive thing: you can apply this for during the day and put on something different for the evening, but if you’re looking for something that will last you all day this is not it. So definitely a mixed bag. I *really* like the bottle, and as mentioned compared to other scents from PR I do like this one the most, but admittedly it feels pretty same-y to the others, but lacks the sheer lasting power those others had.

Amazing scent!

Average Crowd-Pleaser

Despite the interesting name and bottles, the Invictus line of fragrances seems to be a hit or miss for the brand. Based off of what many other reviews have said, the 2024 Invictus Parfum is definitely a questionable release. The lavender, black soap, and sandalwood are all blended in with the signature marine/aquatic notes that very much ties this to the fresher versions in the line, as opposed to the darker, warmer, and frankly more interesting Invictus Victory flankers, from recent years.This parfum iteration smells like a grown up, yet still modern version of the original. The sweetness is definitely toned down, the aromatic notes turned up, and the black soap and sandalwood add a bit of depth to the overall freshness. It does well at being a crowd-pleaser, ... MoreDespite the interesting name and bottles, the Invictus line of fragrances seems to be a hit or miss for the brand.

The sweetness is definitely toned down, the aromatic notes turned up, and the black soap and sandalwood add a bit of depth to the overall freshness. It does well at being a crowd-pleaser, and it’s also a fairly versatile fragrance. Works best in spring, summer and maybe early fall, day and night, and for different occasions as well. Performance, as always, is pretty subjective, but even though it’s advertised as a long-lasting parfum, it doesn’t perform all that great on me personally. 5-6 hours of longevity with no more than 2 hours of moderate projection.Overall, there are a few challenges that Invictus Parfum fails to meet. Especially from a brand like Paco Rabanne, this seems like they took one step forward but two steps back. After some of the last incredible Invictus releases, like Victory and Victory Elixir, they played it a little too safe with this Parfum, which will inevitably fade into the sea of fresh/“blue” fragrances, rather than stand out. Even though it’s not amazing or unique, there’s also nothing to really dislike about the scent itself, other than the fact that it smells more like a really expensive soap, rather than a designer parfum. Again, one the major challenges will be justifying the price for a fragrance that simply smells okay. As always I recommend trying before buying because I can honestly say I would not purchase this at retail price.

Great, but similar to something else...

I was incentivized with this item by to give my fair and honest opinion...Going into this one I kind of knew what to expect, having tried the EDT, EDP and Invictus Victory. All of which are similar and great performers. In typical Parfum fashion this one is a little more straight forward and more in-your-face, but not in a bad way by any means. I do find myself enjoying the Invictus line, but I've never gone as far as making a purchase of a full-size bottle. Reason is, it's nothing groundbreaking. They all smell great, but I personally find them to be similar to another fragrance I already do own, but it wasn't until I tried this Parfum that I made the connection. Now, this is just me, but I have read it elsewhere and know I'm not the only one - it's reminiscent ... MoreI was incentivized with this item by to give my fair and honest opinion...Going into this one I kind of knew what to expect, having tried the EDT, EDP and Invictus Victory.

Now, this is just me, but I have read it elsewhere and know I'm not the only one - it's reminiscent of Valentino Born in Roma. It's that sweet bubblegum-ish vibe. Personally, I only have room for one fragrance of this type as it's not my go-to style of fragrances. I think the aforementioned does it slightly better which is the only reason I can't give it 5 stars. Invictus Parfum is a wonderful fragrance, but owning something (in my mind) that I find to be similar and also the fact that I'm currently favoring more niche brands that could potentially be hindering my opinion a smidgen, I have to give this a 4 out of 5. Still a solid performer that you can expect 6+ hours of projection. It won't be a buy, but I'll gladly wear this sample out.

The best Invictus release since the original.

OK, let me start by saying Paco Rabanne has been one of my most favorite perfume brands and I've been a huge fan of the OG Invictus. I was very excited to get my hands on the Invictus Parfum from Influenster for free to test.Let's start with the packing, the box is just classy and white with the Invictus logo but I wonder why they rebranded/dropped "Paco" from the brand as there is only Rabanne on it.Coming to the bottle, it is my most favorite bottle from the Invictus line up. Just amazing, maintaining the OG trophy look of the Invictus lineup, the Invictus Parfum got an upgrade with a golden top/sprayer and handles and the combo of that with a dark blue glass bottle is just amazingly classy!Now to the best part, the perfume, with the first spray I see that ... MoreOK, let me start by saying Paco Rabanne has been one of my most favorite perfume brands and I've been a huge fan of the OG Invictus.

It sprays just the perfect amount of perfume. The first impressions I've got from this fragrance is that it maintains it's original Invictus DNA, which is one of the most popular fragrance out there. The next impressions I got are that it is a bit sweet and is not too overwhelming which I like, I got the whiff of the soapy note that makes this fragrance feel clean, complex and fresh. The soapy note is amazingly done. Then comes a bit of spice and aquatic/marine notes that are just so unique and stand out. The dry down of the fragrance gives a bit of a matured essence that I like as someone who is not I college anymore. The dry down gives whiffs of a bit of musk and sandalwood which is good, slightly sweet and lasts long. The sillage and projection are amazing, got me a few complements from my friends too. The longevity is good too, could be a bit better but I'm not complaining.This is got to be the best Invictus release ever since the OG Invictus, I'm super happy with the perfume and would cherish this all year. Got to be the best fragrance release of the year.
