This perfume seems quite boring to me. I definitely prefer the Acqua version.
Jeremy Fragrance, your comment is boring; please speak Spanish. This is a Spanish forum, so I think you’re on the wrong site.
I absolutely dislike this flanker.
It shares the same DNA as the mother fragrance, with no changes. I detected no whisky. It has the same longevity and trail as the original, which are unfortunately now very overused.
It smells exactly like the original Invictus, only the opening is sweeter for about seven seconds.
Invictus Intense shows differences from the original: initially, it doesn’t smell like chewing gum but rather sweet, ambered, and spiced. After a few minutes, the classic DNA reappears with a more intense laurel, though the amber dominates the entire development. Unlike the earlier aquatic and fresh versions, this is better suited for evening wear or autumn/winter. It even gave me a sensation of 1 Million, which isn’t surprising since both are produced by Puig for Paco Rabanne. The longevity was notable; I applied it in the morning and the next day, after showering, it was still noticeable. The projection isn’t monstrous but isn’t skin-scented either. A matter of taste, but personally, I prefer the aquatic-ambered concept of the first two versions. It’s not bad; it performs well regarding longevity and projection.
Invictus Intense differs from the original: at first, it smells sweet with amber and spice notes, without that chewing gum aroma. Then the classic DNA emerges with a more intense laurel, while the amber remains. It suits evening wear or cooler climates, like autumn or winter. It gave me a bit of 1 Million, which makes sense since both are made by Puig for Paco Rabanne. The longevity is notable; I applied it in the morning and the next day, after showering, it was still detectable. The projection isn’t monstrous nor does it stay skin-scented. I prefer the earlier aquatic and amber versions, but this isn’t bad and delivers well on longevity and projection.
Starts a bit cloying with that trendy plasticky sweetness, but once it settles, it takes on a pleasant salty marine scent (I’m not a fan of marine scents) with some sweet counterpoints. The problem is that it seems to lose intensity quite quickly.
I’ve always avoided the Invictus line, but I tried this flanker out of curiosity and loved it. The best part is that my brain didn’t associate it with any other known fragrance, something that usually ruins the magic for me with new notes. I wore it all day, constantly sniffing my arm. It’s a good option, although I don’t like the bottle.
At first, it has a heavy, sweet trail, almost like a bronzer, with orange blossom and laurel reminiscent of Kouros, with a hint of imagined whisky. At three hours: amber and soft pepper. At six hours: a dirty amber (perhaps grey), amber, and salt. At twelve hours: a mixed amber finish, quite synthetic. If over-applied, the opening is heavy. It maintains a good trail for 4 or 5 hours, then becomes moderate and lasts beyond 12 hours. I see it more as a winter fragrance, perhaps for evening wear. It’s a loaded fragrance with that trendy grey amber note, and the finish becomes somewhat tiring.
At first, it has a heavy trail, feeling sweet, almost like sunscreen, with orange blossom. The laurel reminds me of Kouros. A touch of whisky (using imagination). At 3 hours: amber and soft pepper. At 6 hours: an amber that feels dirty (perhaps the ambergris), amber and salt. At 12 hours: a mixed amber finish, quite synthetic. It has a heavy opening if over-applied. It maintains a good trail for 4-5 hours, then becomes moderate and lasts beyond 12 hours. I see it more for winter and perhaps for the evening. A fragrance loaded with this trendy note, ambergris, and that finish becomes somewhat tiresome.
Undoubtedly the best of the trilogy is Invictus Aqua. This Intense version doesn’t convince me; its blend of pepper, orange blossom, and salt is not pleasant compared to the other two, which on my skin are fresh and complex. Longevity 6 hours, projection 3 hours. For nights and cold climates. Regarding value for money, I give it 7/10. It can be found online between 50 and 75 dollars.
I’ve tried three from the line (original, Aqua, and Intense). Although many gravitate towards the Aqua, I stick with this one by far. Apart from the freshness of the original, it handles notes that give it a more sophisticated and mature air. I really loved it and hope to have it in my collection soon. Scent 9/10, Longevity 9/10.
Very sweet at first, then it mellows. I feel it changes over time, softening considerably. Even after several hours, I sense a trail that overwhelms my senses. Something very sweet/salty. It’s not one of my favourites, but my girlfriend gifted it to me and I liked it to vary from the usual.
I learned to be more decisive with my review and then with my usage: I completely changed my mind. I have it and will give my first impressions followed by the final verdict. First: that plasticky and artificial sensation typical of PR and CH. Second: I acknowledge its superior longevity compared to many higher-end brands. Third: its ability to cater to simple and popular tastes. We know we can’t be too demanding of an Invictus. It shares the original’s laurel, its distinctive note. It has a sweet amber base from start to finish; the pepper and orange combination is clean, sweet, and spicy, a lovely effect. The amber with bourbon is pleasant, spicy, and dilutes over time into a rougher sweetness. Its use is nocturnal, for youth parties where you want to overpower other scents without standing out for originality. It differs from the original (marine, sweet, patchouli) and the Aqua (aquatic, citrusy, more sparkly for summer). In short: it’s good and follows mass trends.
I haven’t used this in a long time as I didn’t think much of it. Today, wanting to break my routine, I found it very timid at the bottom of the drawer. I sprayed it without thinking. Its sweet, creamy, and spicy opening left me wanting more (I didn’t remember it being this good). I thought it would fade soon, but it lasted all day, changing and vibrant. After five hours, it mutates into something more refined, a sweet-soft/citrus-green scent that suggests a well-made fragrance. At work, where perfume comments aren’t common, this one received two positive remarks. The experience was very good.
There’s an artificial note that puts me off, similar to the Acqua di Gio Profumo. It seems identical to the original, which is the one I prefer. It has good longevity, a smoky touch, and a slightly boozy character. Ideal for going out at night. Paco Rabanne remains a success, offering trendy products, although personally I haven’t liked them much. Watch out; at nearly the price they ask, you can get the discontinued Tenere, a real gem from the same designer.
It’s a sweet amber with an alcoholic kick, finishing with a salty, marine, and spicy touch. Lasts 12 hours on skin and 24 on clothes. The trail has significant presence without being beastly. I think it suits evening better, though it’s not bad during the day. It activates quite well in cool weather.
To me, this is the crown jewel of the entire Invictus range.
A fragrance that, at least on me, lasts many hours. If you want it to project and last, it’s an excellent option. Its scent is between sweet and liquorish; ufff. Definitely a good blind buy. Don’t hesitate, go get it now, and later you’ll thank me.
Honestly, I don’t know how to rate it. On my nose, I detect more amber than whisky, with the three notes being the most perceptible. Longevity and projection are good without being too noticeable. I think it’s the best of the Invictus line: very commercial, versatile and accepted, but without adding anything special. Scent: 6.5. Projection and trail: 7.5. Longevity: 7.5. Versatility: 8.
This Invictus flanker diverges quite a bit from its parent; the sticky sweetness (present in other Puig releases) contrasts with the aquatic-woody formula that made the original 2013 version popular. I don’t detect the whisky; it’s one of the least alcoholic and woody versions in the line, more amber and sweet. With so many clones and copies, this “Intense” is dispensable and trite; no one will remember you for it; it smells like bets that filled shelves this decade. It seems like an Eau de Parfum due to its short trail even when freshly applied; to be an EDT Intense, it feels dense and low on alcohol, yet close to the skin it lasted over eight hours, developing better on summer evenings that aren’t too hot. It was a gift, pleasant for work or casual outings because it’s different from what I usually wear, but I see it only for fans of this plasticine and sugary trend in which Rabanne is an expert.
Magnificent, but on my skin it lasts six hours with strong projection. I applied two sprays and it was a bomb for the first hour, then the intensity dropped but it remains. It’s sweet, mysterious, like a man in a suit who knows what he wants. It enveloped me. Ideal for the mysterious man who loves the beach. The amber and whisky notes undoubtedly make it my favourite. I tested it against Acqua di Giò Profumo and chose this one. On clothes, it lasts 24 hours with strong projection at the start and still 10 hours later; brilliant. Worth it. Sometimes I feel it’s like having a sweet whisky by the beach. Brilliant how a fragrance can awaken emotions. It doesn’t smell the same on everyone; unlike the normal Invictus, which is very copied, this Intense version delighted me. My advice: spray it on clothes if it doesn’t last on your skin. You’ll notice once you try it. As it didn’t last long on my skin, I was discouraged, but on clothes it’s phenomenal. If it’s very sunny, the sun evaporates it, so better for evening wear, but try it whenever you like. It’s the best I’ve heard, and if you like it, buy it. The essential thing is that you like it yourself.
It’s a perfume that smells good; it doesn’t cloy or bother. If you receive compliments, as happened to me at an Oxxo with the cashier, it has versatility, although I wouldn’t wear it on a very hot day. Longevity: 9/10, it lasts more than 12 hours (obviously without much strength). Projection: 8/10. Price: 6/10. Versatility: 7/10 (not recommended for hot days).
Smells good, not cloying or bothersome. If you get compliments (I did at an Oxxo with the cashier), it’s versatile, though I wouldn’t use it on hot days. Longevity: 9/10 (lasts over 12 hours, though not with much strength). Projection: 8/10. Price: 6/10. Versatility: 7/10 (not for extreme heat).
Highly recommended, a real gem.
It’s the DNA of Invictus with a darker twist. Good performance, but the intensity gives me a headache, so I wouldn’t buy it again. It gets compliments but smells a bit youthful for my taste.
Every time I wear it, I receive compliments; it’s incredible.
Intoxicating, a bomb of sweetness, childish and not suitable for diabetics. Recommended for children.
Excellent perfume; it lasts six hours and stays close to the skin until 7 pm. The amber note is what really stands out.
First and foremost, I emphasise that this review is from memory; I finished it a few years ago and no longer have it. But I keep a good memory of it. We must be clear that it’s a flanker of Invictus by PR; don’t look for something totally new. No, this is Invictus but with greater depth, like a more mature version. Personally, I loved it. Back then, I only used One Million, regular Invictus, and then this Intense version or CK One, sticking to the most mass-appealing of the general public. My recommendation: if you like Invictus and see it, buy it; you won’t regret it. But keep in mind that you’ll find a deep Invictus, which is certainly worth it.
It was my signature fragrance for special occasions during adolescence. It’s from the Invictus family, but thanks to the whisky notes, it’s less youthful than the classic. Now, with more age, it feels like a simpler scent compared to others I own, but I keep a lovely memory of it. It’s a pity they discontinued it. Within the range I’ve had (Invictus classic, Onyx, Intense, and Victory), it’s the one that smells the best and I like it the most, perhaps due to its whisky notes which are also in my current favourite fragrance (Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privée). I recommend buying it for people between 17 and 20 years old; for older individuals, it may seem simple, and for younger ones, very strong. In my opinion, it works both day and night, but I recommend it for the night, especially at the club, because it’s not elegant and doesn’t reach its full potential in daily wear. In strong heat, it’s certainly heavy, but it can be used on summer nights. I hope you enjoy your purchase if you choose this; ideally, you should try it first, but since it’s discontinued, it’s hard to find and test.
Please bring it back!
Sweet, tipsy, millennial chiclet style, heavier than a bakala after a farla and MDMA binge.
Delicious, pity they discontinued it. I got one two months ago; I’m going to take the utmost care of it.
Very intense; two sprays are already too much. Spectacular longevity; it can last even over 24 hours. In my opinion, a bit excessive; you have to be careful not to overdo it. Ideal for the night and occasions where you want to stand out. It’s an informal perfume.
I really like the dry-down. It’s an Invictus EDT a bit darker, much more suited for night outings, leaning towards cool. The opening, in the first two hours, doesn’t appeal to me too much. The mix of white flower, alcohol, and salt feels disordered, to the point that there are days I like it and others I detest it. Perhaps it’s my skin that doesn’t interpret it well. It lasts easily over 7 hours, making itself very noticeable. 6/10 approved.
An ignored jewel. I don’t understand why it doesn’t have more recognition or appear on ‘must buy’ lists. Honestly, it has qualities that the public usually values. My girlfriend said it ‘smells like an expensive perfume’ and she’s right. Beyond vaguely recalling the original Invictus, it smells of category, presence, and a classy young man. It’s striking, designed for the night, yet without losing intensity, adding sophistication. The opening moves away from the EDT: a sharp pepper, a soft flower, then an elegant whisky that doesn’t smell boozy, followed by the amber, an absolute and deep protagonist, distinct from today’s designer ambers. Occasionally, salty touches à la Olympéa spice it up perfectly. If you push me, I’d say it could belong in a niche bottle. Perhaps that’s why it didn’t work commercially? I know later batches dropped in performance, but I have a 2016 batch and it’s a bomb: over 12 hours longevity, high projection for three hours, and a constant trail. It leaves that oily base that’s almost invisible, signifying real power. In short, Invictus Intense is an undervalued jewel. If it were launched today, it would be better received. It retains nuances of the original but takes risks, being bolder, denser, and more adult. It’s not super versatile, but it works all year round except in extreme heat. The early batches, like mine, were nuclear. If you find it, don’t hesitate. I treat my 30ml like gold and hunt for a refill like a treasure.
What a gem. I’ve been letting it macerate since 2019, with about 65ml left. Over time, I bought many perfumes and left it forgotten in the cupboard, but when I tried it again, the truth is that the oxidation transformed it. It became half-fruity with a very pleasant note, slightly cucurbitaceous, which blends beautifully with the whisky and results in something incredible. I don’t use it much because I can’t find a reason to, but I liked it so much more than when I first tried it back in 2019.
At first, it repelled me, but I eventually grew to love it. Initially, it felt too white-floral, something I hadn’t noticed in men’s perfumes before, only in women’s. I imagined something more amber and sweet, with a touch of Invictus, but no; it’s a floral bomb with those typical orange and laurel notes, though as it dries down, the whisky and amber become more prominent, approaching what I expected. It wasn’t my style, but now I adore it. Highly recommended for scent, longevity, and projection. Thanks to it, I stepped out of my comfort zone and learned to appreciate the different.
