Paco Rabanne Invictus Aqua Eau de Toilette (tester)

The myths of ancient Greek Olympus, the valor and resilience of its gods, their ability to snatch victories from the grasp of rivals and win the favor of capricious and steadfast goddesses, have inspired the perfumers at the Spanish house of Paco Rabanne to create the men's fragrance Invictus Aqua. This fragrance is a flanker to the bestseller Invictus, launched three years prior. The composition simplifies the choice between the limitations and taboos of the past and the new possibilities and freedoms of the future. It is up to its wearer to decide—whether to step forward toward new victories or remain captive to prevailing dogmas.

Invictus Aqua is classified as a woody and aquatic fragrance. Its top note features the fresh bitterness of grapefruit passionately intertwined with yuzu and hints of pink pepper. At the "heart" of the composition, sea water—fresh and passionate—washes over the tartness of violet leaves. The perfume's base captivates with gray amber, masculine agarwood, and smoky woody amber.

Thoughtful, light, deep, and philosophical, the scent of Invictus Aqua is akin to an Olympic wreath woven from violet leaves, seasoned with drops of fresh sea spray. It can serve as a reward, or a powerful motivator to act, achieve, and attain set goals. To close the door on a passive past and open horizons to a promising future.

TESTER - A tester is a demonstration version of the fragrance provided by manufacturers along with a batch of products for the purpose of advertising at the point of sale. Please note that there are no differences (in terms of fragrance quality, durability, etc.) between testers and the retail version! The difference lies in the fact that since testers are produced for advertising purposes, the manufacturing company does not invest as much care in their packaging: they come in so-called technical packaging (a simple cardboard box different from the one used for retail bottles) and often do not include a cap. This accounts for the lower price of testers.
