Maison Alhambra have two fragrances which are both clones of Invictus Victory.....Both Victorioso VICTORY and Victorioso NERO are the same fragrance but just with a different name.....(had me fooled.🙄..😂🤣😂🤣)
I have Victorioso Nero and I can tell you this thing last a century on both skin and clothes. However this has been after I let it macerate for abouth 2 months. When I bought it I immediately put it on and got very disappointed when it lasted on my skin for maybe 2 hours and faded away also the scent had this excessive synthetic smell on it that I didn't like. However after reading from many people to let it macerate for a while I did exactly that and now the scent last way more and smells better. Definitely a good buy.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with this amazing fragrance….you are absolutely right this is a powerful and very long lasting fragrance that actually performs in some ways far better than the original pacco Rabanne. Macceration is key for these budget fragrances and you can certainly confirm that from your experience. Thanks for your input….stay safe and keep spraying….best wishes from JL
I have both, but, as good as Victorioso Victory/Nero is at mimicking Invictus Victory, the Paco Rabanne original is still superior enough (by my estimation) to justify owning it, even though it is significantly more expensive (even through discounters). I find that the similarity in scent is about as much as 95% and the performance is at about, at most, 75% of Invictus Victory. So, for day-to-day, as my signature scent, I wear the clone, but on Sunday mornings or on special occasions I prefer to wear the original.
I’m very grateful for you taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences with this fragrance. You are right, hand on heart there is really no substitute for the original product but because it is so close in terms of smell and performance it is perfect for every day use and I enjoy your logic of using the original product for special occasions. Thank you for sharing….best wishes from JL
It’s a bit cheeky… I foolishly thought it was their version of Victory Elixir…😭…..but I was wrong 😂🤣😂🤣….good job I’m a massive fanboy of Victory as now I have 2 bottles to go at….😅…. Stay safe and keep spraying….JL
I assume it's legal reasons. As Legend became Myth, Victory becomes Nero moving away from the og names, but I am guessing 😅 Fragrance World Just Azraq is said to be like Victory Elixir even though the bottle looks like asad zanzibar
I’m guessing you are right…it seems like the Arabs are finding ways around any legal issues…but the most important thing is that they are still pushing out amazing clones that regardless of the names we can have them for a fraction of the price of the OG’s….result!!!! 🤩🤩😂😂😂….JL
Thank you for your question my friend, on clothes you can smell it next day and on skin all day….this is a very good clone with performance that you would not expect for it’s tiny price tag….JL
Jon thanks for confirming what my nose was already telling me! I did the same thing as you and purchased Nero after already having Victory. Not too upset though I really like the scent and will probably keep the Nero to use after the Victory is gone. It might be me trying to convince myself they are different, but the Victory seems a little stronger on the strip.
Thank you for your comments, they are exactly the same juice…literally just a name change (which is probably something legal…😬….not too sure) but as it’s such a awesome clone both in terms of the smell and the performance I guess we should see it as having a back up bottle….😉….best wishes from JL
Nice video. I have this one Victorioso victory. Its beautiful. Very good projection and good performance on me. Watching all your videos. Hello from Amsterdam the Netherlands
Thank you for your comments my friend, nice that you can confirm what I get from this amazing clone…awesome scent and above normal performance…..thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences…..best wishes from JL in 🇬🇧….👍
Another great review from the one and only J.L , very informative and helpful , keep it up ..i always enjoy your videos ... big hugs and much love from Kat xo
Lovin your amazing comments….always so positive and kind…I so much appreciate your support….may you always be happy and content in your gorgeous scent bubble….love from JL…😘
Yes, to me it smells charred but yes incense and pencil shavings is a great way of describing it….thank you for your input my friend…stay safe and keep spraying…..JL
great video leggy as always...ive tried some fragrances you reviewed and it all smelt surprisingly very good (i love hayaati the best so far but looking forward to buy more decants) ... by any chance can you try essence de blanc by fragrance world ? i heard it smells like LV Imagination
I tell you my friend, as soon as I hear about one I will literally jump on it…. I am a MASSIVE fanboy of platinum and while the clone houses seem to do most other Invictus versions I don’t yet know of a platinum version….🏆…..JL
I don’t think you will be disappointed with either of those both are powefull fragrances…myth = summer holiday vibes….Nero = sharp , dark amber and vanilla…..enjoy….JL
@JONLEGG I ordered Victorioso, Myth, and Nero today. They were barely 21 dollars each. Haven't done the conversion to British pounds, but these are so cheap there is no way they will be bad.
Victorioso Victory/Nero is one of the closest clones I've come across thus far in my time collecting fragrances (which has been for a couple of years... but I've been primarily hunting for a near perfect match of Creed Aventus, whether the smokey or fruitier batches). Invictus Victory is my signature scent, having replaced Calvin Klein's Dark Obsession (which was my signature fragrance for about five years before it was discontinued).
I’m not actually sure, I have never come across one as yet. Maybe someone else seeing your question here might be able to answer you…. Best wishes from JL
Don’t know how I could have forgotten this…I do know a fantastic clone of Dylan blue…I searched through my collection and found it….DAR AL HAE by ARD AL ZAAFRON…it will cost you about £16 eBay and it’s VERY close to Dylan blue with decent performance….enjoy….🤩….JL
Thank you my friend, I appreciate the subscription and I am pleased to be able to clear this up for you…they are exactly the same…just different names 😉…(the change is possibly for legal reasons ) stay safe and keep spraying…JL
