WoodyWhat does Invictus Elixir smell like?
It opens with cool mineral notes, and cypress in the heart adds a woody, spicy touch. Toward the end vanilla comes forward, turning the scent gourmand, creamy and fruity. Synthetic and aquatic accents keep that sweetness light.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring next. Night outs and evenings lead, and it also suits leisure time. Voters read it as mostly masculine and modern. Rabanne Phantom Elixir and Hugo Boss The Scent Magnetic for Him have a close profile.
