Victorioso Victory

I got an Invictus Victory vial and it was amazing. I found this Maison Alhambra clone and it is nearly one to one. My review of Invictus Victory stands true for Victorioso Victory. Maison Alhambra Victorioso Victory is a really good fragrance. I would a love because it really is an entirely foreign take on Invictus like Invictus Victory which it clones. It opens with a slightly pink pepper/lemon open. Now Invictus and most flankers and clones are known for a grapefruit/sea water/salt open with some bay leaf. This like the original Invictus Victory has none of that whatsoever. Victory then goes a little bit smokey with lavender and olibanum. It is good to wear to a concert as the smoky olibanum does give off tobacco/pot vibes. I had to remember at times that I did NOT smoke. The base is a mix of vanilla and a slightly chocolatey tonka amber mix. Olibanum is the strongest note in Victory. To describe Victorioso Victory is a bit weird. On the one hand, it is a cousin to Invictus fragrances. You can tell it is related. That said it goes into a similar direction to Acqua Di Gio Profumo with the smoky semi aquatic vibe. It is not as abrasive as I find Profumo can be. I can see it working in fall or winter, maybe spring in most climates, but not Arizona as our Spring heats up during the day. This will NOT be a good heat fragrance while other Invictus flankers are more in line of being good in higher heat situations. It works great for concerts and dates. For these reasons l'll rate Maison Alhambra Victorioso Victory an 8. I rated Invictus Victory a 7.5 due to pricing. The Maison Alhambra clone makes the pricing for a fragrance you can not wear as often an easier bullet to bite.

Hmm... Where do I start with this amazing fragrance... Oh right, ITS LIKE $25. Dude, I've smelt Invictus Victory many times every time i visit the malls fragrance shop and just WOW, this blows me out of the water. The scent profile is delicious. Lavender, Vanilla Sweet, Amber, Chocolatey, a little citrus but not too much where it throws you off.. Think of one of those chocolate oranges with a vanilla lavender smell to it. Its a linear fragrance, which isn't actually a bad thing at all. The scent you smell when you spray it is the scent that will stay for its 6-8 hours. This is for sure a pleasant smell, a people pleaser. I was actually complimented on the smell when I went to the grocery store. Dude, honestly? It's an amazing blind buy. I'm just here giving you a more detailed explanation on what to expect before you purchase this. Wow, this fragrance house never ceases to amaze me with their craft.

Victorioso Victory = Victorioso NERO Received NERO batch MO 4-240900444 / PD 09.2024 TLDR : LOVE IT, great vanilla/citrusy/sweet aromatic blend , doesn't smell cheapy alcoholic at all somehow? 17$ 100ml People saying they don't smell any Vanilla in the comments - Can't relate . Wife and 5 friends smell the vanilla, it is kinda dominant for me actually for first 5 minutes, then it fades a bit into vanilla/aromatic/citrusy and becomes a great blend for a few hours, with nothing being dominant and you can "smell what you'd like to smell" which is a crazy good perk that can barely be found. Projection is moderate, but hear me out, it lasts long on my skin that doesn't like perfumes for more than 3 hours for 16$ , FULL DAY on clothes, and faint smell on them for days and it doesn't become stale in 1 day, but maybe 2-3 days? Which is great because i HATE smell stale perfume on clothes.

Invictus Victory of the Maison Alhambra house, oops, Victorioso Nero/Victory lol This perfume is a real dupe of the perfume of the Rabanne house, really clone! At the exit it's a little different, but in less than five minutes both are identical, and I can compare side by side. I still have a caveat: the Arabic version projects more on my skin than its "original" version. The quality of ingredients is different, and this is notorious, but only to the most accurate smells, because Victorioso is very little behind Invictus. Fixed from 10-12h and projects in a very pleasant way for about 2h until a little more... Fragrance: 10/10 Similarity: 9.7/10 Projection: 10/10 Fixation: 10/10 Cost-benefit: 10/10

Ok, this one needs oxigenation, is mandatory. Batch i had of 2024 aug from first spray had a small vainilla smell + a strong tonka one + some sort of rosemary smell, and it was like it was not making a logic balance, it was smelling like something rare After 1 year this is pure vainilla + tonka, and if a more sophisticated smell, super informal, sweet and mass appealing, everyone would like this smell, maybe for all informal occasions except hot weather. Still this is not a beast mode, this last 10 hours in skin and more in clothes, proyects 1 hour moderate then starts fading As every maison alhambra that is not a beast mode should at least spray 8 times, this is a blind buy for sure

Opening is beautiful and clean with a kind of musky citrus, then the dry down turns warm, spicy, and slightly chocolate. It's really great for about an hour, and then starts to calm down to a small scent bubble, not quite skin scent but close, but I could be going nose blind to it. Extremely affordable and worth the money honestly. I think it's pretty great for any time of day, I'm wearing it at the office currently and have gotten a few compliments from my coworkers about this one. Leans a bit to the younger side, but you could definitely still rock this if you're a little older. I can't wait to try to layer this with another scent in my collection.

Possibly the best cheap fragrance I have bought. It's very sweet, addictive ambery tonka, but the Sicilian lemon in the top really helps balance and freshen the scent. The missing vanilla note from the original Invictus Victory also keeps this from being too densely cloying. Comparisons to Axe Dark Temptation confuse me because I don't get any of the chocolate that's prominent in that stuff. Either way, I love this scent immensely and definitely recommend it for fall and winter.

This totally reminds me of Axe Dark Temptation! and that's not bad at all..the balsamic quality took me by surprise in the beginning but I have grown to like it now. It adds another side to the character, making it slightly more mature and mysterious as opposed to another sweet vanilla fragrance. Vibe is definitely a younger, leather jacket wearing bad boy, a bit broody but ooh still so sexy..

What an amazing scent, so alluring and sexy! I'm a 58 year old man and this fragrance makes me feel like a young man again, i wore it on my cruise back in October and heads were turning you will make a statement with this juice guaranteed. it is sweet but not sicken sweet it has this bitterness that balances the whole composition, for any night time occasions this will make you stand out.

This one very chocolaty than the OG, very safe chocolate scent without being overwhelmed, light chocolaty, fresh, also sweet spot of the sweetness in the air. You can use it daily and surely very good for office scent. Performance are moderate, the projection around 1-2 hours the rest are just skin scent. It still worthy every penny. Rate 8/10 ✨

Oh lawd this is way better than I expected, I know the Invictus DNA, & it's not one of my most popular fragrances, but this cheapy is making it hard for me not to like. If I would of had known that this is so good for such a low price I would of picked this one up long time ago, if you're a collector of fragrances this is a must have.

Scent: 9.5 / 10 Longevity: 8/ 10 Sillage: 8/ 10 Versatility: 7.5/ 10 Uniqueness: 7/ 10 Quality: 9/ 10 Presentation: 8/ 10 Price: 10/ 10 A wonderful dupe! It's 90% accurate to Invictus Victory This is an overlooked, underrated scent by MA. Decants available at www.scentswithsense.com

an exact copy in smell, longevity, performance and sillage. it doesnt have an alcohol blast like usually MA clones do. this is a work of art. get it before paco rabanne gets mad and makes them discontinue it. im considering a backup bottle, especially when this is only $13

This is just a great dumb reach. Blind buy. At first, I thought "meh", but now I keep going back to it. The lemon, amber, and tonka bean are what my nose picks up at first. Lavender and the olibanum in the drydown. Super cheap. I get 4-6 hours at least per use.

I have tried many fragrances in the past six months, but this one quickly became my favorite one. I like it even better than the original: for me the opening is not that harsh. Compliment magnet as well, performance is great. Definetely recommended!

This is just like what they are trying to clone but with less vanilla so it comes off more musky and masculine, I prefer the OG but this smells amazing still!! I love wearing this all the time in cold weather and save Invictus victory for dates

Have a 200ml of the real Invictus victory, this is pretty much identical if not better because it’s more musky with a little less vanilla so its a more “manly” vanilla scent but girlfriend always prefers Eros EDT on me

An exact clone of Invictus Victory - one of the most successful replications of any fragrance. I honestly cannot tell the difference. You don't need the Rabanne if you can get a bottle of Victorioso Victory/Nero.

To the person that said don't pay 45-65. Where the heck did you buy yours? This is 15 bucks on almost every site now. I paid 15 for it months ago.

Smells 100% like AXE Dark Temptation ,and i love Dark Temptation so i was so happy I bought it.

This one is unbelievable good...tried to gatekeep it, loved by every1 9/10

Wow! This is dope. Those who don't like it are tripping.

To sum this fragrance, I would say that it smells very amber and powdery. The reason I got the fragrance came from my search to find a fragrance that smells like Axe Dark Temptation (DEODORANT). I have worn that scent for almost 10 years and to this day will never get tired of it. So, does it smell exactly like Dark Temptation, no. Does it smell 60 percent similar? Yes. I have not smelled Invictus Elixir which I know people say this is a dupe of as well, but I am sure it smells much more like that DNA than what I was looking for. As for the comparison to Dark Temptation, this fragrance is a more powdery, less chocolate oriented, amber, and slight florals as well. The way I like to describe fragrances is by taking a well known scent and combining it with others to explain it. In this case, I would say, it smells like a REALLY light Cocoa powder, with some white florals around. Overall this scent is very soft, not cloying like others say unless worm in bad heat or humid areas. It is a good cheap fragrance that could be a perfect segway for someone looking to get into softer, warmer, ambery scents. Side note - Nobody mentioned it but it also kind of reminds me of JPG Elixir but a VERY toned done version of it. Almost like its a watered down JPG Elixir

Once again a blind buy from one of my favourite clone houses. Not having any idea what to expect I was quite surprised in a positive way. Someone mentioned it reminds them of axe dark Temptation which I agree with but this has to be a more luxurious version of that. It's smooth and elegant very inoffensive. Sillage and longevity is as always mediocre when it comes to this house but what to expect for that low price. Nowadays this frag is called victorioso Nero probably for legal reasons. I have no idea how the OG smells like at all so I couldn't tell you how good of a clone this is. In conclusion: A very well made frag for colder months. Elegant, smooth and cozy in a way. Perhaps not my first choice but definitely third or so. For a low price its a steal.

ONE of the first clone i have ever bought upon first spray, i kinda dislike it. i then let it mature and after 2 months it smells EXACTLY like OG victory, but the og has a tad bit more depth to it, i wore this on a date and after 4 HOURS this still projects within arms length and she complimented me on my fragrance i kid you not she keep telling me that i smell nice. at the end i secured the "victory" iykyk. considering its $15 bucks this is actually really worth it overall: 8.5/10

Smelled the original pr invictus victory and id say this clone is 80-85% close to it, my copy of victorioso isn’t as smooth smelling, to me victorioso victory smells like minty, powdery milk chocolate with a bit of lavender ,amber, and tonka, all that to say it smells yummy but not in a gourmand way, i really enjoy it and its an easy all around wear. Longevity 7.5/10 Sillage 7/10 Scent profile 8.5/10 Value 10/10

This and Invictus Victory smell the exact same to my nose. Got this instead of paying for a whole bottle of Invictus Victory. I like the smell of Axe Dark Temptations and this still smells similar to it, the same way Victory did. I know many people don’t like clones but this might be closest Clones I’ve ever smelled. For being a clone 10/10. Price 10/10 Smell 7/10 Longevity 8/10 Projection 8/10 Overall 7.75/10

While Victorioso Victory is similar to the scent profile, sweet chocolate vanilla, of Invictus Victory by about 90%, it falls short in terms of richness and longevity. However, this is why it is more versatile in warmer climates and enclosed environments. It is an inexpensive option and a good candidate as a more wearable substitute. The projection for the first two hours is decent.

Good scent, sweet balsamic in a manly way. Moderate performance and projection. Got a 30ml bottle for a good price, so I could even take it with me if needed refreshing - but probably not ever gonna need to, it lasts enough for a short night out. Got the renamed Victorioso Nero batch ML10-0501524 from 06/2025

This 1000000% smells exactly like Axe Dark Temptation, and I am here for it. I am so glad others feel the same way. Invictus Victory gives the same vibes. This absolutely is not my favorite out of the Victorioso line, but its not bad either. Safe blind buy for those who want a masculine chocolate scent.

I havent smelled the original PR Victory. Victorioso smells nice and smooth, vanillic ambery/chocolate smell. Opening smells a little minty cold, but that fades away after 10mins. Very nice dna and quality for the price. The bottle is also hefty and of good materials.

I tried Invictus Victory then bought this and they're very close. I truly appreciate this one. Vanilla takes off its coat and stays the whole time. The scent I pleasant and even works in the heat. It has been surprisingly solid in these hot Oklahoma summers.

Blind buy worthy if you just need a dumb reach fragrance to smell nice when going out in the evening or on a date. Excellent longevity on my skin. Don't expect something groundbreaking or super unique.

Smells good, really close to Invictus Victory. The performance is really sad. Projects for 30-60 minutes top.

I’m not getting much out of this right now. Gonna let it masturbate.

It smells like rum and coffee to me. It's aight

smells just like invictus victory

Nose Note #770 That's probably the most interesting and pleasant Invictus flanker (dupe) that I've come across. Probably because it has nothing to do with Invictus, it's a different scent altogether. It does share the Invictus philosophy though - kind of mass appealing and simplistic (to my nose). This time it's all about tonka beans - I good scent to get familiar with this note. There are many tonka-amber fragrances, but this one is somewhat memorable, which is already good. It reminds me a lot of the base (dry down) of Layton DNA - something vanillic and even cardamomy. Beyond that Layton dry down there's not much going on. The name issue is performance. All Invictus flankers that I've experienced were very strong. This one is barely an average performer. It would've been such a banger if only it was 2-3 hours stronger. 3-3.5 hours in and it's almost gone 7.5/10, really decent overall UPD: 6.9/10, nah, not my thing. Does not smell like something of good quality. Performance is very moderate. A bit juvenile

Chocolate-coffee soda - fizzy, peppery opening, settles down quick into a cocoa and coffee note, with a green component to it. I cannot explain how "dry" this smells - it is not syrupy and "wet" like gourmands are, but instead the chocolate and coffee notes are powdery and light - much like when I compare smelling chocolate powder to chocolate syrup - entirely different sensations yet rooted in the same base. This fall and winter fragrance to me creates a small, cozy bubble, and unless you overspray, will not project well, but does leave a tantalizing sillage. All this having been said, this is identical to Paco's Victory, both on skin and in the air. For the price, you cannot go wrong.

This was my first fragrance. It’s ok. I rarely wear it nowadays because it’s just toothless in my collection. Smells nice, but just boring, that’s why I’m trying to get rid of it. None of my friends (even those who don’t buy any fragrances) want it for free. Because it’s so boring. And also very weak projection. On the bright side: bottle is heavy and feels expensive (not the cap). Atomizer is from a fire extinguisher - it creates a cloud with each spray. 100% similarity to Invictus Victory - smelling them side by side couldn’t tell the difference. Would rather spend $20 on McDonald’s.

Too sweet and soapy from the lavender, this is catered for younger guys, I would say below 20. I would imagine a high school kid wearing this......... It's VERY close to the original Invictus Victory, and yes I have the same thoughts about that fragrance too.

Just too cloyingly sweet. Almost smells like something you'd pour on your pancakes lol.

Feels cheap and weird man, maybe I don't like this DNA, haven't tried the OG, but this perfume is kind of nauseating Update : well, I tested the original in store and this is very close to the original and for me, the original also feels cheap weird and nauseating, I guess this formula just ain't it for me But it terms of cloning the OG, it's very close, not exactly 1:1 but you would never be able to notice any difference in the air 100%

Wow this smells like nothing I expected. No vanilla, no major sweetness, no spiciness. Nothing like designer fragrances. Idk what I'm even smelling here.

it's actually horrible and off putting. nothing like the original. i couldn't wear it al all.

I threm them out because they smell cheap and annoying to my nose. I unknowingly bought also the original this clone was made from and they smell alot different. The original doesnt assault my nose, the clone has the cheap annoying smells of ink or the collored children's pens. Im throwing it out. Wouldnt use even as a toilet freshner because the smell would just annoy me.

Wasn’t really for me. I ended up getting the wrong one and decided to keep it anyway, but I don’t wear it much and mostly just leave it sitting in my room. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you specifically like that type of scent or know you enjoy it beforehand.

SUPUESTAMENTE ES CLON DE INVICTUS, PERO ES UNA BASURA DE TANTAS. PROYECCION INEXISTENTE. DURACION INEXISTENTE NO LO COMPRES NO VALE LA PENA

My sons love this scent. I have a system, I buy five bottles, once a year. Four for my young men and one for me. $12 each, so a total of about $60 for 500 ml. Each subsequent bottle has to wait in a dark, cool place... 10 - 12 months from the production date. Even if I get Victorioso with an older BD, I still put it in the cupboard for another four months. I don't trust old, well-known brands, so I'm even more wary of clones from Maison Alhambra or Fragrance World. At first, they can be unripe and their longevity can be poor... that's why traditional rituals are necessary. After this long "home maturation" they have parameters like OG and are the best IV-inspired scent. You just have to plan your purchases well. Excellent for spring and fall. 10 - 12 months, that's the key to success. Excellent value for money. This is one of the best fragrances inspired by famous, expensive perfumes... for less than $15, just the top.

jus sniffed this at a mall, its good, not for those who have sensitive noses obviously as my parents did NOT like it. I haven't tried the original but I do like this scent on its own, opens up with freshness along with its sweetness then that freshness tones down then dries down nicely. Overpriced at the mall but I can get it for like 14$ in online stores. Overall good for its price if you can find it for that cheap
