About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Invictus (2013) opens with a bracing splash of sea notes, grapefruit, and mandarin orange—a salty-citrus overture that feels like a cold wave. The heart introduces bay leaf and jasmine, adding a green, slightly floral facet that keeps the composition from becoming purely aquatic. In the base, ambergris, guaiac wood, oakmoss, and patchouli anchor the scent with a woody, mossy depth that lingers on skin for hours. This is a fresh woody aquatic with a 100% citrus accord, backed by marine (88%) and aromatic (84%) nuances, plus fresh spicy (70%), woody (60%), and salty (55%) undertones. It suits men who want a versatile, energetic fragrance for daytime wear—especially in warm weather or after the gym. Collectors of 2010s designer masculines will appreciate its bold, unapologetic freshness. It performs best on those who enjoy sharp, clean openings with a subtle earthy finish.
