Paco Rabanne has always loved to surprise. A prodigy couturier, he never stopped accompanying the emancipation of men and women throughout his career. Impertinent and daring, he is a visionary figure whom some adore while others detest. Be that as it may, Paco Rabanne likes to make people talk about him, and it must be said that this strategy works for him. His career is an immense victory. Thus, in 2023, Paco Rabanne decided once again to honor victorious men. He presents the men's fragrance Invictus Victory Elixir.
Paco Rabanne is a prodigy couturier as well as an internationally renowned perfumer. Visionary in all of his creations, he delivers, each time, far more than a fragrance. He builds a universe around each of his scents. Invictus is no exception to the rule. Launched in 2013, this collection is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary. On this occasion, in 2023, Paco Rabanne gave birth to Invictus Victory Elixir, an amber and woody fragrance, thoroughly warm and captivating. But what about its bottle?
Invictus Victory Elixir, a bottle repurposed from a trophy
Paco Rabanne is a very creative figure, who very frequently enjoys repurposing objects to turn them into perfume bottles. Thus, Paco Rabanne fragrances never resemble any others and have no trouble standing out on the perfumery shelf. Recall: with 1 Million, Paco Rabanne gave his fragrance the shape of a gold bar. More recently, with Phantom, it took on the appearance of a small robot. For Invictus Victory Elixir, it is a trophy. After all, what could be more evocative of victory than a cup? From the outset, the scene is set. What is more, this silhouette is meant to be as aesthetic as it is ergonomic. With its solid base, this bottle stands very easily. Its handles, for their part, make it easier to hold. As for sizes, Invictus Victory Elixir by Paco Rabanne comes in two formats, in bottles of 50 or 100 milliliters.
The new blue-black hue of Invictus Victory Elixir by Paco Rabanne
As for its colors, Invictus Victory Elixir has completely abandoned the style of the original Invictus. Thus, its cap and its handles are no longer tinted with silver. Paco Rabanne prefers this time a matte, opaque black, particularly virile and very contemporary. Its glass, meanwhile, opts for a shimmering blue-black. This gradient begins in an intense blue at its base and gradually intensifies until it reaches its impenetrable peak. The result is a dark, mysterious side. Invictus Victory Elixir by Paco Rabanne does not lack temperament, and this is noticeable right away on its bottle. What is more, it must be said that these colors also give it a very elegant look.
When the Invictus Victory Elixir bottle takes on the V of victory
Finally, another distinctive element from its predecessors, and not the least of them: like the previous Invictus Victory, this Elixir version is adorned with a golden V of Victory on its front face. Of course, this was not chosen at random. It embodies the image of a victorious man. It is like a seal engraved directly into its glass. What is more, what shade could be more dazzling than gold to embody success? This also adds an extra touch of radiance to the whole. Finally, the typography of this V immerses us in the Greco-Roman era, an element also found in the advertisements for the Invictus collection since its launch. The consistency is perfect!
