Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Strong contender. That is where Invictus lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Invictus.
Pearl Fragrance 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.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $38 per 100ml it costs 71% less than Invictus — the 10th cheapest of 15 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Pearl Fragrance 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
What it is chasing: sea notes, grapefruit and mandarin orange up top, bay leaf and jasmine in the middle, ambergris, guaiac wood and oakmoss underneath — the shape of Paco Rabanne Invictus.
Top
- sea notes
- grapefruit
- mandarin orange
Heart
- bay leaf
- jasmine
Base
- ambergris
- guaiac wood
- 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.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
