The review
On paper, Ruthless is a reasonable bet if you want Invictus for less.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Invictus's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $63 per 100ml it costs 51% less than Invictus — the 13th cheapest of 15 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on sea notes, grapefruit and mandarin orange, turns to bay leaf and jasmine, and settles into ambergris, guaiac wood and oakmoss. That is the brief Ruthless is working from.

Base

- oakmoss
For the one who lives in gyms and summer afternoons, chasing that salty grapefruit-and-marine freshness over a clean woody base for daytime confidence.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 19 twins of Paco Rabanne Invictus we can price, Ruthless is number 13 on price per 100ml.
