Victorioso

Victorious, promises little and delivers much, much more than I expected! I used the perfume on a Tuesday at 11:28 a.m. and it was 29°C here in Bahia, Brazil. I applied exactly eight sprays, two on the wrists, two more on the inner parts of the elbow, both sides of the neck, on the head and another on the chest. What a wonderful smell! Aquatic smell, refers to the sea and a full feeling of cleanliness (but, on my skin, it doesn't smell like egg white/calone). At 1:02 p.m. the perfume continues to project well, for just over a meter and, anyone who approaches you, fatefully will feel your aura wonderfully well perfumed. At 2:35 pm the perfume begins to decrease the projection, but it remains VERY WELL FIXED to the skin, you don't need to approach to feel the perfume, but a handshake or even a side hug that it is already possible to feel the pleasant aroma that, at this moment, begins to highlight the citrus notes because of the bergamot (however, on my nose, it sounds a lot like Sicilian lemon), in the background, right in the background, Jasmin giving a brief feeling of cleanliness. Now it's 4:38 pm and it's 27°C, the perfume continues with good performance and only the smell of the sea and the Sicilian lemon (bergamot) and I emphasize again: it doesn't smell like calone. I recommend it a lot, it's worth the cost x benefit A LOT. It's already night, it's exactly 8:31 pm and it's 24°. The perfume is still very noticeable on the skin, it is not exhaling, but it is very clear that you smell if someone hugs you or even if you ask someone to smell it and check the aroma, everyone will feel and say that the perfume is still there. As for the similarity, I would say that it is more than 90% with his inspiring brother, Invictus, from the Dior house. Maison Alhambra is really to be congratulated in this construction!

This fragrance found me, I was buying oils on a website (i do not care to mention) but their oils are spot on dupes of popular designer fragrances, but I digress... I ordered a sample of the Inviticus oil with my order, the oil ended up breaking in transit 😮 and when opened the package I could smell the fragrance remnants, this was my first time ever encountering this scent and although it is masculine I fell in 💕, the original must be worth every penny but I went with Victorioso after watching countless reviews. It is spicy yet fresh and uplifting. I have been told it smells like (Tommy), but (Tommy) has a softer dry down. What they do have in common in is the spicy, aromatic, citrus notes in the initial spray. Victorioso is perfect for all seasons and great for daily daytime wear💎 The longevity on clothing and skin is moderate, I refresh at least once throughout the day.

This stuff is damn good. This whole line is incredible for less than 20 bucks each. Projection is great on all 3 and so is longevity. For this price point the performance is fantastic. 9/10. I'm not saying this is spot on to invictus but it is very close. Over 90 percent

Absolutely spot on for Invictus. The whole Victorioso line is worth an addition to your collection, especially Victorioso Legend/Myth. I can't recommend them enough!

Sprayed the OG on one hand and this one on the other. This is a 1 to 1, project even more than the OG.

I can't believe this line didn't get more hyped. They're all so good for around 15 bucks each.

It’s hard to talk sh*t about this one. It’s a nice, inexpensive fragrance to wear to work. Inoffensive for office and climate-controlled environments, lasts through a full workday, and smells better than Hawas. Yes, it smells cheap, but for less than $20, it’s hard to find a better clone of Invictus EDT. The thing is, IMO it’s better to save money and buy the OG in a tester bottle from discounters. You can find it for about $46, and instead of a clone, you get the blueprint. The OG feels smoother, more refined, and has better balance between sweetness and freshness. Victorioso gets close, but it’s more linear and tamed.

A good take on Invictus, but (a big but) just get Hawas OG or Ice. It’s only a few quid more and much better. Clean smelling. Close to OG at about 90% but just doesn’t last. This is decent at best, lasts about 3 hours on skin and about 7 on clothes (skin scent, no projection or sillage at this point) Sillage is intimate at literally having your nose on them to smell it. A good gift as a gym scent but I wouldn’t go further than that. I often use as a bedtime fragrance to feel clean before sleeping. 5/10.

Very generic blue shower gel smell. Not bad, not amazing, just another basic blue scent. This would be a very good/safe scent to introduce a kid/preteen boy to fragrances. Definitely reminds me of a sort of, next "step away from body spray" fragrance. Cheap, smells clean and inoffensive, but lacks depth and uniqueness. After trying a littler bit of layering with a Sauvage clone, ive found it pairs well with ambroxan heavy scents, adds a bit more depth and makes it fizz and pop a little more.

If you like the classic Invictus (the original Invictus by Rabanne), then you’ll probably love this one. It has a very similar fresh, sweet, slightly fruity DNA that reminds you of Invictus, but still has its own twist. It stays on for a good while and performs well for the price. Overall, it’s a great value fragrance, especially if you’re on a budget but still want something that smells designer level. If you’re a fan of Invictus style scents, this is an easy recommendation.

at the time i got this fragrance was almost two years ago. i’d gotten it in early march of 2024 and when i first smelled it i wasn’t surely pleased with my buy. i’ve then since let it macerate for quite a long while now and i have to say, it’s gotten much better for me. i've kept it hidden away in a dark area for a long time and i can’t really smell the harsh synthetic opening now. it’s more of a fresh, clean and sweet smell. i enjoy it quite a bit now. 7.15/10

It’s good but I’ll just say you can definitely smell the price in the fragrance. Sometimes when I put it on it smells sour and over-cloyingly sweet but other times it smells lovely so idrk. A bit inconsistent but for the price it’s amazing value.

I love the scent but the major problem here is the performance. It just doesn't last on my skin. However, it does smell like invictus and makes you wanna do a line or two after taking a whiff of it. Wish it could last longer.

Fresh, clean right out of the shower scent. $17 bottle off the Amazon truck. This is a no brainer. 8.5/10

This is more of a question, but for those who bought it- how long did you let it macerate? It’s a weak skin scent on me right away, lasts about an hour, it’s awful.

Smells synthetic and soapy. Not pleasant. Have little resemblance to Hawas.

It is probable the problem is in the bottle I purchased, since I liked it when I smelled it in another bottle, But my purchased bottle is not even 2 weeks old and only used maybe 14 sprays total, and it is smelling now only of alcohol, like it is Ethanol with blue colorant... NOT RECOMMENDED

This one is not a directly dupe of invictus I should say it's 1:1 similar to lattafa hayyati and twist of lattafa Najdia. In my opinion this is synthetic mess projection 15-20 min Longevity 2-3 h Hayyati is much better alternative

العطر خيب ظني، كنت متوقع نوتات مائية منعشة ولكن الطاغي على هذا العطر هي النوتة الاوزونية التي من المفترض ان تحاكي شعور البحر، ولكنها لاتحاكيه فعلا بل مزعجة وقوية في هذا العطر. كما ان النوتات البحرية هنا مالحة وليست صافية ومنعشة هناك عطور ديزاينر بنفس سعر هذا العطر او مقاربه له بجوده اعلى قد يهدأ العطر بعد التخمر ولكن هذا تقيمي الحالي ٣.٥/١٠ - The fragrance disappointed me. I was expecting fresh aquatic notes, but the dominant accord in this perfume is the ozonic note which is supposed to mimic a sea feeling but it does not actually do that. Instead it is strong and annoying in this fragrance. The marine notes here are salty rather than clean and refreshing There are designer perfumes around this price range that are higher quality The perfume might calm down after it matures but this is my current rating 3.5/10

Again, fragrances are subjective, boy oh boy is this nice. To me a near 10/10. Simple. Its a bit sweeter than invictus, ahh man is it nice, fresh, uplifting and fun, this is the one

The only clone fragrance that i actually want to wear
