This month? We try out Paco Rabanne Invictus Victory Elixir Parfum Intense…
Rich, powerful, long-lasting…kind of reads like the ideal Hinge, Zoosk or Match dating profile doesn’t it. Better yet, it’s the descriptor for Paco Rabanne’s latest eau in the Invictus portfolio, Victory Elixir Parfum Intense.
Woody, warm and overflowing in the golden vibe that is amber, the fragrance is a delectable and stimulating blend. Fresh spices combined with sensual vanilla, heady tonka bean and, of course, warm and golden amber appeal to every sense. The scent is one part creative, another part alpha male and a third pure intoxication—all stirring vibes reminiscent of the man, Paco Rabanne himself.
“Paco Rabanne made transgression magnetic,” affirms Jose Manuel Albesa, the president of the beauty and fashion division at Puig. “[His] radical, rebellious spirit set him apart: there is only one Rabanne.” While the wondrous and talented designer passed earlier this year, his spirit, his Invictus, continues with every spritz. “A major personality in fashion, his was a daring, revolutionary and provocative vision, conveyed through a unique aesthetic,” adds Marc Puig, the chairman and CEO of Puig, a luxury, family owned and operated fashion and fragrance house in Barcelona.
Indeed. And just as the descriptor acts as a precursor to the scent, it’s name, Victory, is a tribute to the designer’s life and extraordinary legacy. After all, Victory Elixir Parfum Intense is the rich, powerful and long-lasting impression every man wants to leave behind.
Paco Rabanne Invictus Victory Elixir Parfum Intense, $145 for 100 ml, available at Shoppers Drug Mart.
