When Invictus, the overpowering Greek hero of Paco Rabanne, raises his strength to the heavens, thunder rumbles and the fragrance trembles: Invictus Intense is born! The high-voltage Invictus could not leave his companion, the goddess Olympéa Intense, without offering her an animalic and woody fragrance worthy of their exceptional pairing.
At the start of 2017, an epic and world-famous duo seems to be making a grand return within perfumery: Invictus Intense and Olympéa Intense come back with an even more heightened power than before. Entirely built on duality, this same interplay of contrasts is also found in the composition of this new masculine version. Invictus Intense is presented as a woody and amber fragrance in which opposites attract one another, as though to better reveal themselves. Focus on the composition of this resolutely masculine new fragrance.
The powerful duality of Invictus Intense
Invictus Intense has this time chosen to reveal itself through woody and amber tones. Nevertheless, although this accord is fairly classic in masculine perfumery, it proves here to be particularly powerful. So what means did the famous Paco Rabanne use to reveal to this extent the full strength of the new hero Invictus Intense? In fact, he chose to accentuate the contrast of its opening olfactory movement, as though to better reveal the key ingredients of this fragrance. What is more, he added unexpected and absolutely intoxicating flavors. Invictus Intense thus opens with a spicy, radiant blend. The Mediterranean sweetness of orange blossom collides here with a darker side emanating from black pepper. Then, as though to celebrate the victory of this modern-day hero, Paco Rabanne added laurel to the composition. At this point, a whisky cream accord reinforces the sensuality of the whole while adding a touch of intoxication. The whole then develops toward a particularly woody sillage. Invictus Intense offers an original and powerful pairing of ambergris and salted black amber for an energizing and wildly masculine result.
Paco Rabanne chose to write its formula like a story
In truth, the formula of Invictus Intense goes well beyond a simple blend of ingredients. Moreover, it can be read as a genuine story unfolding over the course of the hours. Orange blossom reveals a radiant, resplendent Invictus Intense, as though placed under the spotlight. Furthermore, the choice to use laurel is particularly rich in symbolism. Indeed, this plant has been used since Ancient Greece to reward heroes and athletes. Whisky cream, meanwhile, arrives next, as Invictus Intense decides to celebrate its victory and immerse itself in a flow of intoxication. From then on, it is adored, appearing in the eyes of the world as a kind of absolute perfection, a genuine fantasy for women and a goal to attain for men. The message is powerful and the impact is strong. Invictus Intense is a concentrate of strength, virility, power and self-affirmation.
