What does Invictus Parfum smell like?
The top is marine notes, pink pepper and lavender; at the heart black soap, violet leaf and myrtle turn the freshness greener. The base of musk, cashmeran and sandalwood softens it into a woody foundation. Fruity and sweet facets stay in the background, with a spicy touch.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter far behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some votes for nights out and the office. It reads masculine and modern. Aura Fragrances Royal Black and bugatti Fashion Performance Deep Blue have a close profile.
