Invictus Platinum, the new Eau de Parfum by Paco Rabanne. Since 2013, Paco Rabanne has been offering the image of an unbeaten hero: Invictus. When he decides to conquer the world, he channels his strength toward the heavens and makes the storm rumble, even if it means shaking the entire world. Yet it is precisely this force that has conquered men in every corner of the world.
Before being a perfumer, Paco Rabanne is a prodigious couturier. Since his beginnings, he has accompanied the emancipation of men and women. He seduces with his radical modernity and does not hesitate to go beyond trends. Yet it is precisely this avant-gardism that is also found in his fragrances. Bold and irreverent, they are always highly anticipated. In 2022, Paco Rabanne decided to reinterpret one of its greatest best-sellers: Invictus. Its sillage is intensified. Here is our review of the men's fragrance Invictus Platinum by Paco Rabanne.
Olfastory’s review
A bottle relatively close to the previous Invictus Intense
What is the first thing one notices when discovering a fragrance? Its bottle, of course! In this regard, Invictus Platinum by Paco Rabanne draws heavily on its 2017 predecessor: Invictus Intense. Indeed, just like it, it has a gray coloring. However, this one is slightly lighter than its elder. Likewise, its chrome metal cap here is perfectly matched to a new element: wings fixed on its front face, a symbol of victory. The message comes across instantly. This cup-shaped bottle embodies conquest and the unbeaten man. What is more, its gray tone gives it a very elegant facet. Behind his imposing musculature, the man who wears Invictus Platinum by Paco Rabanne remains no less refined...
The sharp breath of Invictus Platinum by Paco Rabanne
Just like its bottle, in certain respects, the formula of Invictus Platinum by Paco Rabanne recalls that of its elders. Indeed, just like some of its predecessors, notably the first version of Invictus from 2013, it is an aromatic men's fragrance. This impression is dominated here by lavender, present at its heart. This raw material is paired with a lively and energizing freshness of mint. In its opening, Invictus Platinum by Paco Rabanne does not lack bite. Paco Rabanne dares, for the very first time, a duo of absinthe and grapefruit. The zesty bitterness of this fruit immediately becomes more intoxicating. Finally, all its virility takes place in its base notes, with a duo of cypress and patchouli. Note also that, despite its apparent freshness, Invictus Platinum by Paco Rabanne is a very long-lasting fragrance.
Much more than a fragrance, an ideal
As will be understood, this fragrance has indeed won us over, both in terms of bottle design and scent. What is more, it also carries a strong and ambitious message. Invictus Platinum by Paco Rabanne encourages men to push themselves a little further every day. It is a symbol of courage and determination. With this latest creation, Paco Rabanne gives itself a new winning surge. Through its greater intensity, Invictus Platinum seems to take on new challenges and find additional motivation to never give up. It is a galvanizing fragrance, offering men new promises of victory.
