Where to buy
Two naiads set about cooling his back, still burning from the effort, with generous amounts of ice-cold water. But alone at heart, unbeaten and gazing into the distance, Invictus has only one woman in mind: Olympéa. Such is the story into which the Invictus Acqua fragrance draws us. If its predecessor embodied athletic strength. This one plunges us in right after the match, at the moment when the victorious man finds calm.
The world of Invictus Acqua
The first version of Invictus was launched in 2013. It symbolized the image of a hero proudly holding up his trophy. While he was once cheered on by a wildly enthusiastic crowd of supporters, the atmosphere has now calmed to make way for greater serenity. Invictus Acqua is the fragrance of the man who savors his victory and enjoys a well-deserved rest. This is conveyed through an advertising film directed by Alexandre Courtès. This epic narrative is an allegory of victory. It shows us the intimacy of a champion as he heads back to the locker room. The whole thing sits halfway between our modern world and that of mythology. Invictus appears as a fantasy for both women and men. Women see in him the ideal man, endowed with an extraordinary character wrapped in rippling muscles. Men identify with him, unable nonetheless to rival his extraordinary strength and ambitious temperament. Invictus Acqua is a new hero who has traded euphoria for greater fullness.
The intense freshness of the new Paco Rabanne
This flanker of Invictus keeps the same codes as its predecessor. Indeed, while the original was already very fresh, its crystal-clear character is here pushed to its peak. The shape of its bottle remains unchanged. Only its once-polished glass is now frosted. Thus, it immediately announces the freshness and lightness it contains. On the scent side, Invictus Acqua opens on an energizing scent based on yuzu, a small Japanese citron close to lime. This is paired with the bitterness of grapefruit as well as the spicy facet of pink pepper. Then, a marine accord takes over at its heart. Invictus Acqua is akin to sea water. In this sense, it is as fascinating as the ocean and depicts the image of a man who can be just as calm as he can be particularly unleashed. Violet leaves enhance the green character of this fragrance while wrapping it in a very elegant powdery facet. Finally, the sillage of Invictus Acqua plays on seduction. It contains ambergris paired with very masculine woody tones. These are further composed of amber wood and guaiac wood. In other words, Invictus Acqua could be described as a woody aquatic fragrance.
