Invictus Aqua 2018

Each of its creations seems designed to make people talk. Paco Rabanne likes to craft fragrances resembling role models or true fantasies. In a more athletic spirit, it created, in 2013, a juice named Invictus. This modern-day hero quickly ranked among the best-selling fragrances in the world and its success has not waned over time. Today, it returns in a brand-new version named Invictus Aqua.

Invictus Aqua, the image of an unconquered hero

Invictus Aqua is much more than a fragrance. It symbolizes a myth: that of victory. It embodies the image of a modern-day hero and is a symbol of absolute masculinity. Its name means unconquered and invincible. Invictus Aqua is an athlete impossible to resist. This extraordinary man towers far above all others. Invictus Aqua is an ideal for men to reach and a true concentrate of desire for women. Embodying such an image on screen is quite a challenge, so once again athlete Nick Youngquest takes on the role. The former professional rugby player has been the face of the Invictus collection since its launch. The communication for Invictus Aqua blends modernity with ancient codes. The spectacle is always grandiose. After all, one would expect nothing less from Paco Rabanne!

A trophy as a bottle for Invictus Aqua

In this context, the designer did not wish to craft a bottle like any other. Invictus Aqua once again reveals itself in a trophy-shaped bottle. It must be said that Paco Rabanne is a devotee of repurposing objects. For him, nothing is more powerful than a universal symbol that speaks to each of us. Invictus Aqua is decorated with two silver handles matching its spray cap. It rests on a solid base and now offers a new bluish gradient that seems to draw its source from the depths of the ocean, rising toward the sky.

Invictus Aqua, a very fresh woody juice signed Paco Rabanne

This is precisely the contrast found in the scent of Invictus Aqua. This juice is both virile and very woody while retaining an intense freshness. It plays on contrasts and opens with a bitter, frosty breath of grapefruit. Then, Invictus Aqua is flooded with an iodized wave reminiscent of the smell of the ocean. It gives off an immense feeling of dynamism and gradually gains in power thanks to the presence of amber woods played here in overdose. To further evoke sea currents, Paco Rabanne added salty ambergris to the whole. The result is a fragrance resembling salt water trickling down the skin of this handsome athlete.
