NEW Paco Rabanne Invictus Victory Elixir FIRST IMPRESSIONS - BEST New Fragrance Of 2023 So Far!

[@jasonvegan5761]

I mean if Door Sausage proved anything to us, it’s that an “Elixir” flanker is definitely worth buying.

[@turboshazed7370]

DOOR SAUSAGE. 🤣 Love it

[@jesse2215]

same for 1 million imo

[@Nintendo101Channel]

And the JPG Le Male Elixir as well

[@Keviekev115]

No. Dior Elixirs dry down smells exactly like Club de nuit intense. Which is a $30 cologne. Save your $$

[@Mustlehard]

@@Keviekev115no it does not. At all

[@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121]

Once you've surpassed 1000+ fragrances, I think it's safe to say that bringing back distant memories is on par with smelling something new. Dude can wear a different fragrance every day and not cycle back to it for 2+ years 😂

[@MoahGentle]

I only began collecting a fee w years ago, nearly 200 bottles and countless samples.. I can definitely go a year without using the same scent twice. Only did it for 2 months tho cause even if I love sampling new things daily, I also miss wearing my favourites so I come back to those..

[@Taiwandragon0828]

dude would have 5 drops on a tester the size of a syringe, DUDE!

[@rd5469]

I have the original Victory and I don’t think I have worn it this winter. I just have too many, it’s a great profile but I’m going to reach for a Killian or whatever over this. I don’t think I’ll waste money on this one.

[@DownHillgamer]

[@DevanteMcDaniel]

R.I.P. Paco Rabanne! The fragrances this guy created were bangers imo! I truly enjoy them! I will be picking up this one!

[@kc8767]

Dang, Paco was in his 70s and 80s making banger colognes for people in their 20s and 30s.

[@MrBoddy72]

I was extremely sceptical about this, but bit the bullet and BAM!! Absolutely brilliant fragrance and excellent performance. **UPDATE! My female GP has just complimented me on my fragrance, and it was this one!**

[@kmcel190]

Victory is an absolute WINNER. I'm going to check on this off the strength of that one.

[@antediluvian_seance]

Yeah, I bought this one a few weeks ago from a nearby Dilliards. I knew nothing about it but was looking for a higher concentration bottle. This one caught my attention. Great scent and highly recommendable.

[@egikskallagrimsson5703]

You are my absolute go to reviewer when a new fragrance out to the extent and fragrance I want to try I check one of your reviews first.

[@deanprendergast2981]

Can’t wait to see you review paco rabanne 1 million royal once that’s released

[@Davidmjr136]

I got a sample of this from scents event and I absolutely loved it! I have a bottle of victory and I love that one too. I can’t wait for this to hit the states so I can buy a bottle. Great review!

[@17th_Luv]

This guy isn't lying! I went to buy 1 Million Elixir, and they gave me a sample of the Invictus Elixir. I love this fragrance more than the 1 million! I'm going to buy it next time I'm in the store.

[@TheJofrica]

This smells like 1 Million Lucky mixed with Invictus structure to me

[@Shengguo0]

@@TheJofrica ok so i wasnt the only one who felt like it was a bit like lucky ! especially the opening. Man i miss the 1m lucky already ive finished my last bottle a week ago im gonna miss it it was one my top10 favorites

[@TheJofrica]

@@Shengguo0 Yeah Lucky is my favorite of the 1 Million line

[@northsidemonarch2848]

It honestly do smell close to 1million lucky!! I had the blessing to smell both yesterday. & those two are top tier. I got 1million lucky yesterday & went & got the invictus victory elixir today

[@conceitedminaj]

I just picked this up and ladies this is a stunner don't be afraid because it's a man fragrance it's sweet and intoxicating with the tonka bean and amber I'm in love tfs

[@Fiyero8813]

I would never have gotten this if I had just read the notes. I prefer fresh citrus fragrances. But I smelled a magazine insert with the scent and I was hooked. I ended up getting a 200ml bottle. It’s sweet, yes, but it has enough freshness in there to balance it out to keep it from becoming cloying. I love it

[@MoahGentle]

Welcome to the Invictus fan club, Ash! We’ve been expecting you.

[@gqvenu4868]

Ohhh sharing spray instead of “waisting” it for us .. wow someone had nice Vday

[@pheonixeternal8981]

I love it the sweet coconut scent is nice along side the woody notes

[@deanprendergast2981]

Just picked a 100ml bottle for £62 can’t wait for it to arrive !

[@nealefrancis9094]

Tried this today and I agree it's absolutely superb , this and the 2016 acqua are the only 2 invictus worth having

[@xiaco8309]

Legend as well

[@Detman101]

I also have both, but I prefer the OG Invictus-Victory...by far, And I wear the OG Victory more. The spicyness and moderate vanilla with lavender just wow me...and the smooth woody-vanilla drydown is HEAVEN! I have not smelled any other fragrance like the OG Victory. The Invictus-Victory Elixir is super sweet coconut-vanilla for 6 hours. I already have other fragrances that do that. I will get a backup bottle of the OG-Victory, I will not buy more of the Victory Elixir...I may not even finish the bottle.

[@fess04]

just got mine. i liked Phantom and recently OG Invictus. this Elixir is AMAZING. i blind bought this and im happy i did. its everything i wished Prada Black would be . This projects muted rich sweetness with a woodsy and mature semi gourmandy base. Unlike Prada Blacks vanilla and woods visa vi the dilluted reformulation, Invictus V E projects and lasts long. money well spent. its fun without being trivial.thanks Ash ! :)

[@yl9153]

Is it better than 1 million elixir?

[@logancohan]

Do you prefer the elixir or phantom more

[@saulgoodmanandriese8658]

So Victory Elixir is powdery too? Like Prada Black?

[@vincentbaverso2806]

I picked up a bottle of Blue Ridge this weekend, great stuff, wearing it today

[@freddieaviles278]

Invictus Intense was the best one of all, sad they stop making it. I still have a little left. Will try to see the Victory Elixir soon

I went today to Sephora to test out men’s perfumes. I personally didn’t like 1 million, but Victors elixir was so delightful. I also loved the robot one. But victors had this wonderful scent that I loved. Hopefully my BF thinks the same loo

[@Barock.Johnson]

I like 1 million, I got elixir. I like the sweetness and it’s very strong for the dead of winter where I live. I like the victory elixir right now because it’s got a warm and cool feel, and it’s a bit sweet, a little spicy and the black pepper hint it’s got too. It’s a more subtle spice bomb (the bronze one, I forget). I hope it’s cool for a few more weeks where I’m at. As soon as it hits 70, I can’t wear it anymore lol

[@sylyx3912]

Best fragrance reviewer hands down

[@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121]

Honesty really is the best policy. I watch Ash because he is blatantly uncompromised, which is a rarity these days. He's building his brand the old fashioned way and I am here for it.

[@dqyler]

Gonna have to try this one again, definitely didn't excite me in the same way, but I've found a few frags that are better 2nd time around! Great video as always

[@basman2006]

Most people don't wanna own that many bottles. Sure the scent is unique enough but when smelling invictus elixir in the store i thought, nice but i got stuff doing what this does.

[@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121]

Just got a sample of this to go with a travel size Givenchy I picked up at Shoppers Drug Mart (Canadian chain). I was hoping to get a sample because I didn't put on a fragrance. This is lovely. Definitely the weirdest carded sample I've ever seen. They've somehow made the card into the atomizer. But it smells fantastic. I finally have a final draft of big bottles I'm willing to add to my collection, so I won't be buying a big bottle of this. But I also told myself that once my rotation of big bottles is established, the sky is the limit for decants...

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great first impressions video and I enjoyed it and can you do a full review when you test it out and have a blessed day

[@Chris6815]

This is my only Paco Rabanne so far.

[@atroxicdesign]

Is any of these two suitable for spring/summer season? I haven't smelled them, just wondering if I should consider any of them for this season.

[@mdogg9135]

I just got it today, its an all rounder to be honest. Its currently beginning of Winter in New Zealand and it suits amazingly, but still fruity enough to rock in summer in my opinion.

[@mdogg9135]

The elixr that is! It's power!!

[@77Musicnut]

Exciting to see Ash so excited about new frags recently :)

[@thepharmacytv]

Great video as always…I’m currently really enjoying Ralph’s Club Parfum, I enjoy this and the edp better than the Y line. What is your view on Ralph’s Club Parfum vs Y intense?

Hi Ash! Have you tried Widians LIWA? It's my favorite now after a shopping spree during Christmas 🙏

Absolute killer fragrance. Went out to the store tried it out. Had to get it.

[@baltrusambr5784]

Hello gs, I watch your videos all the time but you recommend a lot of fragrances and I cant choose one. What do you think is the best fresh, small projection fragrance that i could wear in school, for all occasions and all seasons under 100eur

[@philjones6054]

Dylan Blue or perhaps Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo signature.

[@johnniewasr5740]

I would prob recommend Dylan Blue also.

[@SuperDuperDavo]

I actually think the first impression videos are better when you’ve worn them out at least once. We get a better idea on dry down, longevity, any compliments etc.

Incandescent black vanilla. It sums it up pretty well.

[@shermanbyas9726]

I got this a couple months ago. It smells GREAT.

[@ethanrendelman7890]

Since spring is coming up can you talk about Bentley Azure. It’s an underrated gem and for the price it’s a no-brainer

[@chuckgt7715]

Do you think the 3 note breakdown is an attempt to not give clone houses too much of a head start on the formula???

[@johnniewasr5740]

That’s kinda what I was thinking although you can just send a frag to a lab and the can use gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to break down and identify the components.

How is the longevity projection ?

8+?

Yo Ash. I just realized that a quite rare fragrance has recently popped up at Fragrancenet and Fragrancex. Shiseido Zen White Heat Edition for men. Since I know you collect everything, just throwing it out there in case you didn't already have a bottle. I just pulled the trigger on my second bottle today. They don't have many left.

[@spaztekwarrior]

I have a bottle of Victory. It’s okay, but I don’t like it as much as many do. I’ll probably not buy a bottle of it anymore when it runs out. Would like to try this one though, to see if it’s different enough from Victory.
