The review

Metallic scores 4.4 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Invictus Platinum.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Invictus Platinum'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.

It is $89 per 100ml.

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 Perfume Parlour 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

Paco Rabanne Invictus Platinum is peppermint, bergamot and grapefruit at first, lavender and cardamom at its heart and Tonka Bean, vanilla and ambergris at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • peppermint
  • bergamot
  • grapefruit

Heart

  • lavender
  • cardamom

Base

  • Tonka Bean
  • vanilla
  • ambergris
Cool peppermint over vanilla tonka, sweet and surprisingly refreshing.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
