Invictus Victory Elixir Clones

"### To Buy or Not to Buy? Victorioso Victory Elixir is a decent effort, capturing the main facets of Invictus Victory Elixir . The synthetic edges are noticeable, especially in the vanilla and sandalwood, but the overall composition is wearable. If you're seeking a near-identical match, you'll be disappointed. If, however, you want a reasonably close approximation for daily wear and are price-conscious, this is a solid choice. The original offers superior ingredient quality and depth, but whether that justifies a tenfold price increase is a matter of personal preference. Recommended for those on a budget looking for a sweet, spicy, and slightly smoky scent profile. ### Notes & Nuances Victorioso Victory Elixir opens with a sharp lemon, immediately followed by a noticeable incense accord. The black pepper is present, lending a spicy lift, but the lemon and incense dominate early. Compared to Invictus Victory Elixir, the opening is about 95% similar; the original has a smoother, less acidic lemon. The heart reveals a creamy lavender smoothed by vanilla. I detect a slight synthetic vanilla note here, a clear departure point from the original's richer, more natural vanilla. The base is a familiar blend of tonka bean, patchouli, and sandalwood. The sandalwood is rather muted, overshadowed by the tonka. The drydown is where this clone diverges most—perhaps 95% similar. The original has a greater woody depth and complexity. ### How Long Does it Last? Longevity is acceptable. I got about 6-7 hours on skin with moderate projection for the first 2 hours, settling into a skin scent thereafter. On fabric, expect 8+ hours. Projection is good, but not beastly."

"### Scent Breakdown Just Azraq opens with a blast of lemon and pepper – pretty close to Victory Elixir. The incense is dialed down compared to the original, which is a bummer. It's a bit sharper, a touch more synthetic in the opening, maybe 90% similar. The heart brings in that creamy vanilla and lavender. It's sweet, almost too sweet for some, but that’s the Victory Elixir DNA shining through. Drydown is a powdery tonka bean with a noticeable, slightly scratchy, patchouli. The sandalwood is subtle. Here, it deviates a bit more; the original is smoother, richer in the base. ### Longevity & Projection This stuff projects! For the first 2 hours, you'll leave a scent trail. Longevity is solid too; I get a good 7-8 hours on my skin. Not bad at all point. It won't fill a room like the real deal, but it's definitely noticeable. ### Final Thoughts It’s not a perfect match, but it gets you close enough for everyday wear. The synthetic edges are noticeable if you're actively looking for them. This scratches the itch for way less. Grab this if you want compliments on a budget, especially for cooler weather clubbing or dates."

"### Bottom Line Epoque Artistique is a solid budget option. If you crave the Victory Elixir vibe but can't justify the premium price tag, this scratches the itch. It has some rough edges – a slightly synthetic feel overall – but it's a darn good attempt. Is the original ten times better? No. Twice as good? Debatable. If you are very sensitive to synthetic notes, stick with the original. Otherwise, this is a smart purchase for casual wear. ### Notes & Nuances Epoque Artistique swings for the fences, attempting to replicate the rich DNA of Invictus Victory Elixir. The opening hits you with a blast of lemon and pepper. The incense note is present, but noticeably sharper and less rounded compared to the original's smoother, honeyed feel. The heart brings forward a vanilla lavender combo that's generally pleasant, if somewhat synthetic. The dry down is where it differs most. It leans heavily into tonka bean, pushing the patchouli and sandalwood to the background. Think Victory Elixir's younger, less refined brother. I'd peg it at roughly 75% similar. ### Longevity & Projection The projection is respectable . It creates a noticeable scent bubble for the first 2 hours, before settling closer to the skin. Longevity is moderate. I got around 6-7 hours on my skin, which is decent, but significantly less than the beastly performance of the original. Be prepared to reapply if you need it to last all day."

"### Bottom Line If you want that Invictus Victory Elixir vibe without dropping serious cash, TAG Uomo Rossa is a solid option. Yes, it's not a 1:1 clone, and yes, there's a slight synthetic edge initially, but the drydown is really enjoyable. The original is undoubtedly smoother and of higher quality, but is it 10x better? Probably not. If you are on a budget, this is a no-brainer. Someone looking for a super high quality experience should skip this and get the original. ### Notes & Nuances TAG Uomo Rossa tries its best to mimic Invictus Victory Elixir, and it gets surprisingly close, maybe 91%. The opening hits you with a bright lemon, battling with a smoky incense note and a decent pepper kick. It's not as refined as the original, there's a *slight* synthetic harshness in the first few minutes, but it quickly settles. The heart brings in a sweet lavender and vanilla combo. The drydown is where it shines; a creamy tonka bean, patchouli, and sandalwood blend make it addictive. However, it is sweeter overall and missing the smoother ambery quality of the original Victory Elixir. ### Wear time & Sillage the performance is solid. I get about 6-7 hours on my skin, with a decent projection for the first 2 hours. It leaves a noticeable scent trail, but don't expect it to fill a room. It's more of a personal bubble fragrance after the initial projection fades. Good for a work day or date night."

"### Notes & Nuances Al Batal jumps out with a bright lemon and peppery zing; it's like a dialed-up version of Invictus Victory Elixir's opening. The incense note is there but more of a supporting player than the star. The heart is sweet, vanilla-lavender. It smells similar to the original but a bit…thicker, less refined. The dry down is where Al Batal differs most. You get the tonka and sandalwood, but the patchouli is amped up giving it an earthier, slightly darker feel than Elixir. Overall, I'd say it's 92% in the ballpark of the original, with its own twist. ### Projection Power This thing projects! For the first hour, it leaves a noticeable scent trail. Longevity is solid too. I get a good 6-7 hours on my skin, becoming a skin scent after the third hour. Not beast mode, but respectable. Definitely better performance than you'd expect at this price point. ### To Buy or Not to Buy? If you like Invictus Victory Elixir but can't stomach the price tag, Al Batal is a no-brainer. It's a sweet, slightly dark, and powerful fragrance perfect for cooler evenings or nights out. It has some synthetic edges, especially in the opening, but it's easily forgivable. Grab this, and save your money for something else. This one's a winner ."

"### How it Smells Wicked Noir kicks off with a burst of lemon, but it's a touch more candied than the original Invictus Victory Elixir. The incense and pepper provide a smoky, spicy edge, playing well together. As it dries, the vanilla and lavender come forward, creating a sweet, creamy center. It's pleasant, though not quite as nuanced as the Rabanne. The base is where it diverges most – the tonka, patchouli, and sandalwood are there, but they lack the richness and depth. Overall, I'd say it's about 89% similar. The original has a certain luxurious quality that's hard to replicate on a budget. ### To Buy or Not to Buy? Wicked Noir offers a decent approximation of the Invictus Victory Elixir vibe, especially . It smells good, it lasts a reasonable amount of time, and it captures the sweet, smoky essence of the original. However, the synthetic edge is present, especially in the opening. Worth it if you're on a budget, but the original is noticeably higher quality and worth the splurge if you truly love the scent profile. It's for the guy who wants to project confidence without shouting about it. ### Performance Reality Check Longevity is decent. I get about 6-7 hours on my skin. Projection is moderate for the first two hours, then settles closer to the skin. Not a beast, but it makes its presence known. You won't fill a room, but people standing close will notice."

"### Final Thoughts Impactus is a worthwhile daily driver. If you’re obsessed with the nuances of Invictus Victory Elixir, you'll notice the differences, but most people won't. It's a solid, sweet, and slightly spicy fragrance that's easy to wear. If you can find this for under $30, it's a no brainer. ### The Scent Profile Immpactus by Dubai Essences kicks off with a blast of lemon and pepper, aiming for that Invictus Victory Elixir brightness. The incense note is dialed back here, making it less smoky and a touch more generic in the opening. It’s probably 91% in the ballpark of the OG. As it dries down, the lavender and vanilla become more prominent. The tonka and patchouli try to add some depth, but they come off a little synthetic. This is where it deviates most from the Elixir, lacking that rich, gourmand edge. ### The Performance Stats Longevity is decent. I get a solid 5-6 hours. Projection is moderate for the first hour or so, then settles into a skin scent. You’ll get noticed initially, but it won’t fill a room. A couple extra sprays helps it pop."

"### Notes & Nuances Victorioso by Maison Alhambra is clearly chasing the Invictus Victory Elixir vibe. The opening is a blast of lemon and peppery incense. It's a bit rough around the edges compared to the original; you can sense the budget a little more. The heart smooths out with lavender and vanilla, getting closer to the creamy sweetness of Victory Elixir. The dry down is where it shines, though. The tonka, patchouli, and sandalwood create a warm, ambery base. I'd say it's about 92% similar to the OG. It lacks some of the original's refined smoothness, but the core DNA is there. I get a solid 7-8 hours on skin with moderate projection for the first 2 hours. It projects a nice scent bubble without being obnoxious. It becomes a skin scent after 4 hours or so, but it's still noticeable. that's a win. ### Is it Worth It? It’s a solid daily driver for cooler weather, dates, or evenings out. The slight synthetic edge is noticeable if you're a hardcore fragrance enthusiast, but the average person won't know the difference. Is the original ten times better? No way. Buy this and save your money."

"### The Verdict Lasting Desire isn't a perfect recreation, but it captures the overall feeling of Invictus Victory Elixir. If you crave that dark, sweet, slightly smoky vibe and don't want to drop serious cash, this will scratch the itch. There are some synthetic edges, but they are easily overlooked. This is a great option for a young guy wanting to project confidence without emptying his wallet. ### First Impressions & Dry Down Lasting Desire starts with a familiar citrus burst. It's trying hard to mimic that Invictus Victory Elixir vibe, and hits about 80% of the way there. Lemon and pepper are present, but the incense feels dialed down, replaced by a sharper, somewhat synthetic brightness. The heart is where the clone deviates most. The original's smooth, creamy vanilla fights with a rougher lavender here. It's not unpleasant, but lacks the luxurious feel. The drydown is a warmer, sweeter echo of the original, mostly tonka bean and a hint of patchouli. Sandalwood is barely present. This is the best part. ### The Performance Stats Projection is moderate for the first hour, creating a noticeable bubble. After that, it settles closer to the skin. Longevity is surprisingly decent. I get around 5-6 hours on my skin, maybe 7 on clothing. Don't expect beast mode, but it's respectable ."
