Invictus Intense Cologne by Paco Rabanne, Invictus Intense by Paco Rabanne is a darker take on the original scent, Invictus. This daring blend has accords of amber, whiskey and fresh spice. The top notes start out strong with pepper and orange blossom to create a bracing, yet bright tone. As the middle notes sweep in, laurels and whiskey make their entrance to introduce a sophisticated freshness. The base notes linger on salt, amber and ambergris for a savory muskiness.
