Invicto suits anyone who wants an aromatic marine fragrance with real structure rather than a thin, generic aquatic scent, thanks to the grapefruit-and-bay-leaf combination over a proper woody-mossy base. It performs well through spring and summer, and the moderate sillage keeps it comfortable for daily wear including office settings.

Fragrance Notes
The first impression, and usually the lightest part of the fragrance. These notes evaporate first, which is how a fragrance is built to open.

Invicto opens with marine notes, mandarin orange and grapefruit, moving through bay leaf and jasmine into an ambergris, guaiac wood, patchouli and oakmoss base. 54.55% of Fragrantica voters (small sample) call its longevity moderate, with the woody-marine base carrying furthest into the day.
Invicto opens on marine notes, mandarin orange and grapefruit, a fresh, aquatic-citrus top accord with more salt-and-zest than sweetness. Grapefruit gives the marine accord more bite than a purely soft aquatic note would, while mandarin keeps it from turning too sharp or soapy. The middle brings bay leaf and jasmine, adding a herbal, slightly green edge alongside a touch of white floral. Base notes of ambergris, guaiac wood, patchouli and oakmoss close it out with a dry, mossy, woody-ambered finish. Read as a whole, this is an aromatic marine fragrance that moves from citrus freshness through herbal green into a dry woody base, rather than staying in aquatic territory throughout.
The opening is dominated by the marine accord and grapefruit's sharp zest, with mandarin orange softening the citrus slightly. As that fades, bay leaf steps forward with its herbal, almost peppery green character, while jasmine adds a light floral thread rather than taking over. From there ambergris, guaiac wood, patchouli and oakmoss build a dry, mossy woody base, with the ambergris giving a faint salt-skin warmth that echoes the marine opening. Oakmoss lingers longest of the base notes, giving the final hours a slightly damp, forest-floor quality rather than a clean or synthetic woody finish. By the later hours the fresh top has fully given way to wood and moss.
On a small sample of eleven votes, 54.55% call longevity moderate and 36.36% long lasting, with very few marking it weak — a reasonably dependable wear time. Sillage is clearly moderate, at 81.82%, with only small minorities voting strong or intimate, so it projects without demanding attention. The vote count here is small enough that these figures should be read as a general direction rather than a precise average across all wearers.
Season votes, also on a small sample of twenty-six, put spring and summer level at 34.62% each, ahead of autumn at 26.92% and winter at just 3.85%. The fresh marine-citrus opening explains the warm-weather lean, while the woody, mossy base still holds up as temperatures rise. That said, the woody-mossy base and dry marine top mean it does not feel out of place in cooler months either, even if the vote pattern favours warmer ones.
Invicto is marketed and voted firmly as a men's fragrance: Fragrantica lists it as male, and 90.9% of voters selected male or male-leaning on a small sample. The marine-citrus-woody profile fits that framing throughout.
Invicto is positioned alongside Invictus by Rabanne, sharing a fresh marine-citrus opening and woody base rather than an identical composition. The comparison is a useful reference for the overall mood — aquatic and zesty up front, dry and woody underneath — with the exact note balance described above defining this fragrance specifically. Someone who enjoys Invictus's fresh, structured character has a reasonable starting point here, even though ingredient sourcing and exact proportions differ.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
