Invictus Intense

Bring this back,its literally the best of the line

Quite underrated tbh .. not sure if they still produce it but definitely blind buy safe .. bubblegum plus amber thats it .. very versatile too

Had been my Signature scent !! But it has been unavailable for a long time. Suitable for cooler weather. Confidence booster.

Exactly what the notes say it is. Kinda weird for me since i don’t know if its a freshie or like fall/winter? Maybe smn all year ish. Starts off with orange blossoms and black pepper, very fresh opening, whiskey starts creeping up and then theres a hint of salty-ness and base is amber, which in my opinion is where it really shines. 7.5/10.

All time favourite fragrance linked to some of my all time favourite memories and it will be that way for the rest of my life.

The best invictus hands down. Such a sexy fragrance. It’s long lasting and will give you endless compliments. Sucks they discontinued it. 9.3/10

the best out of the invictus line and there is no competition, boozy and sexy. holds sooo many great memories such a shame it got discontinued

Dark blue. Is victory what you're looking for? Sure, conquer it in the club. Vision dances with the strobe lights. Paris, Berlin, Seoul, Ibiza, Barcelona, Tokyo. Paranoia. Don't hold her hand. The taste of being so drunk you can barely walk. Pepper in dinner dates in a humid country. Vodka on your tongue. Addictive, dangerous. Go out on a Thursday. Go to an after. For eternality.

A better version of Invictus, but still fresh and good for any ocasion. Unfortunatelly weak-medium performances, but being an old bottle, maybe thia is the reason.

Please come baaaaack!!!

A worthy Invictus fllanker. Deeper and more alluring than the original. It has aphrodisiac quality that screams sexy and allure. Sweet and addictive and lingering a long time. Office safe and date night staple, as well.

This is a fragrance I've had on my radar for a while. I love boozy notes in fragrances, so when I found an Invictus flanker with a whiskey note I knew I had to try it one way or another. The problem, it became, was finding it. With it being discontinued it was very difficult to locate. No stores had it, and I couldn't even find it on my typical discounter websites. Sure, they had it for sale on eBay; but you better believe the price was marked up accordingly. To my surprise, I finally found it at a store that was pretty well out of my way. I was able to haggle the price down to something more realistic, so I ended up taking it home. Now all that's left to do it give it a proper test. Let's get into it; Scent: Opening is floral, boozy, and fresh spicy. The primary notes I get are whiskey, orange blossom, laurels (bay leaf), and ambergris. The strongest of the notes are the orange blossom and bay leaf. The orange blossom note is a strong white floral accord, but not in a super feminine way. The bay leaf lends a fresh green and spicy accord. This is followed by the whiskey and ambergris. The whiskey carries with it a sharp and noticeably boozy accord; not hyper-realistic like what you would find in Givenchy's Gentleman Reserve Privee, but recognizable enough as whiskey. The ambergris levels out the drydown by providing a warm and salty base upon which the other notes perform. I also get just a bit of citrus, which I'm assuming is coming from the orange blossom. The dry down is warm, boozy, and ambery. The primary notes I get are whiskey, amber, and ambergris. The strongest of the notes are the whiskey and amber. In the dry down the whiskey has come to the forefront with the same sharp and boozy accord from the opening, but stronger and with a bit of added woodiness. The amber has also became a main character with it's typical warm, resinous sweetness. This is followed by the ambergris with the same warm and salty accord from the opening. From opening to dry down there is a hint of the Invictus DNA, but this flanker is a pretty far departure from the rest of the line. Performance: Initial projection is strong and easily reaches out about 6 feet. Sillage is strong as well with an easily noticeable scent trail. After a few hours the projection was still about 4-6 feet and the scent trail was still noticeable. When I checked again around the 7 hour mark the projection and scent trail were gone and it was only left as a skin scent. So if I had to guess I'd say there's probably 4-5 hours of solid performance before it's gone. When to wear: The opening is fresh and floral, but the dry down is warm and ambery. For this reason, I feel like this fragrance could work in any season, daytime or evening. This versatility extends to occasions as well; anything from the office, to date nights, to formal occasions. Anytime or anywhere you wear this, you'll smell appropriately nice. Blind buy: As stated previously, this fragrance is pretty dynamic from opening to dry down. For that reason, you may want to read up or hear what people have to say about it before taking the dive; especially considering it's discontinued and can be pricey. That being said, if the idea of a fresh and floral fragrance transforming into a warm and ambery fragrance entices you, this would be a good pick up for you. Final verdict: This is a fine fragrance, just fine. Don't get me wrong, it smells nice and it will get compliments; but I was a little disappointed that the whiskey note wasn't as strong. I was going into it expecting the Invictus DNA with a big hit of booziness, but that's not really what I got. That's not to say there isn't any; there is. It's just not as strong as the breakdown lead me to believe. That might be a plus for some people, but I'd assume if you're buying a fragrance with whiskey in the notes you're wanting that full experience like I did. The fragrance itself also burned off quicker than I imagined it would. Four to five hours isn't bad performance by any definition and it definitely projected during that time, but based on the performance I've had from others in the Invictus line I assumed it would last a bit longer; especially with a name like "intense". In any case, I'm not really disappointed in the purchase since I got it for a decent price, but if I had paid the price some people on eBay pay that would be a different story. Bottom line; unless you're an Invictus collector you can probably skip this one. Scent: 7/10 Longevity: 6/10 Sillage: 7/10

I don’t own Invictus Intense but anyone who’s looking for a dupe for this can pickup Pacific Woods by Grandeur Elite.

This one's lovely, basically Invictus DNA with some amber touches, feels very rich, that sweetness is dialed down but comes out differently here, more warm evenings or slightly colder days suited. Shame that it's discontinued. One of the rare rather mature releases from Paco Rabanne that I love.

Nose Note #2 I hadn't the stomach for it the first couple of wears, but then it kind of grew on me, BUT the stuff is so powerful that I have to apply it like at waist height, otherwise it gets pretty sickening very soon - 15-20min. Still I think it's a pleasant scent and a nice job. To my nose it's all about laurels, a bit of pepper, some strangely sweet whisky. It's a very sweet scent, but not like BR540 sweet. Similar to other Invictus? Yes, it's recognizable. Long-lasting? Oh, yes. It's there till you wash your clothes. It pushes off the clothes for like 1 metre at least. My wife likes it more, than I do. It's nice, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I probably wouldn't even remember I ever had this. The scent is memorable, but there are just too many other greater options... I wish it wasn't so sickening at times

I had it, i sold it. Now i found it dirt cheap for 30 Bucks. Which is cool. I kinda got a lot of compliments on this and i found it to be very sweet and salty, i have to say its better than the Legend. If u put all Invictus together u get this, and its a nice different twist on the original. But if i have to say which is the best i have to say still the original is the best, because its such a great mix between sea notes and bubblegum. This perfume kinda has the same smell in the air but still goes a darker path its more mysterious. Im somebody who really looks for compliments and i got a lot with this. up close its not the best thing but in the air i can clearly say its very good, its kinda caramel mixed with saltiness.

I really like this. Found in the back of my dad's wardrobe 80% full. My dad doesn't remember buying it but I assume he bought it in the mid-2010s. Very unique fragrance to me it smells like a mossy sea rock with salty butter popcorn slapped on top. Ik it sounds strange but it is blended so well it is almost niche quality imo. Nice intimate scent with decent longevity. (5-6 hours on my skin). Good for date nights and also the office or school imo even though it's not a "blue" fragrance. Scent - 9/10 Longevity - 7.5 Projection - 7/10

this is amazing. Fresh and sweet but in the most complex way possible, this could easily be sold in a niche bottle. It has an orangey freshness without the zest + a very mineralic saltiness and its not like the saltiness you would get in DG light blue or ADG profondo, its like a stoney type of saltiness + a mouth watering whiskey note. Overall the smell you would get is a smoky watermelon thats on fire on a bed of orange blossoms with clumps of raw salt and black pepper sprinkled on it. Its one of my most complimented aswell.

I tried it on. Thought it smelled very classy and expensive. The orange blossom florals were nice. Then it dried down. Fecal-like quality on my chest. Literally blended with the same smell coming out of the bathroom.

I've been revisiting old fragrances from the mid 2010's and I've been wearing this bad boy lately!!! It's cool to wear this now because nobody is smelling like this...this scent profile literally stops people in their tracks! Plus it's also pretty hard to find I have a nice fragrance connection that keeps discontinued gems!

Just nothing special in this. Nothing brings back the legend EDP.

Very pleasant and compliment getting scent.

Love this one ! Definitely my favorite 24/7 fragrance and the performance is on mark !

I've never understood why this flanker hasn't gotten as much love as the others. Perhaps that's because it's unexpectedly less cloying and a bit more "mature" (if that can be said about any of the Invictus line). It's certainly well-blended. And more than the Aqua flanker, the saltiness breaks through the sweetness enough to be detected, which, to my nose, is a good thing.

According to the ratings, this thing is supposed to last long but it just doesn't on me. All I get is 3 hours despite spraying my clothes, as well. I've had my bottle for over two years and the performance hasn't improved! Not bad, it gets no love at all, maybe that's why it's discontinued

Invictus Intense is an amber, spicy, woody and slightly salty fragrance. This fragrance does not have the original bubblegum opening, it is more spicy and floral, but what stands out from the first few minutes is an amber accord. As the minutes go by, the characteristic laurel note of the first versions is perceived, as well as a salty chord, but with amber always present, as well as a slight liquorous note. Once it reaches its drying phase, a synthetic but pleasant base of woods, amber and spices remains. This version is not summery or spring like the original or the Aqua versions, rather it tends to be used in autumn and winter due to the load of spices and amber, or to be used on nights out. Its longevity is very good, at least the batch I have lasts about 12 hours. with regular sillage. I think over the years I've gotten more of a like for this version, because when it was first released I liked it less, and now it's harder to get. I could say that this is the mature version of Invictus.

I think this fragrance is discontinued but you can still find it quite cheaply on some websites! It is one of those fragrances which isn’t or wasn’t talked about enough it’s so underrated! It was a warm and projecting fragrance which is cold for cold days and evenings in particular. It’s also unique and projects and lasts ages! Very worth it and is very unique due to how much attention it hasn’t got!

Was initially underwhelmed by the opening; however, the dry down smells great and lasts 12+ hours. May be my favorite in the Invictus line.

I have Invicto intense which inspired by this fragrance and to me it smells better similar like dior sauvage the vibe of it is like club de nuit intense

Got this today, batch code 3 years ago. Amazing smell Invictus with little somke touch, the best Invictus in my opinion.
