What Is Maison Alhambra Victorioso a Dupe Of?

Maison Alhambra Victorioso is a clone of Rabanne Invictus Eau de Toilette. We're talking about the regular Victorioso EDP and the original Invictus EDT here. That's the fresh citrus, aquatic and woody branch of the Invictus family.

Which Victorioso is this?

It's easy to end up comparing the wrong bottles because there are several Victorioso fragrances. Victorioso Nero, Fearless and Legacy are separate catalog entries. This page uses Maison Alhambra Victorioso EDP, paired with Invictus EDT. Invictus Aqua, Victory and Parfum are different references too, so check the full name when you're shopping.

What the notes tell us

Victorioso's current catalog note list is short: bergamot, oak moss, ambergris, patchouli and guaiac wood. Invictus EDT's list includes mandarin orange, sea notes, grapefruit, jasmine and bay leaf, along with ambergris, patchouli, oakmoss and guaiac wood. The overlap is clearest in that woody, ambery base, with citrus appearing in both profiles.

Both catalog records use an ungrouped list, so the comparison above keeps them that way. Victorioso's shorter entry doesn't tell us that it lacks every note named for Invictus. It also doesn't give us enough information to fill in a missing marine or floral section, so we haven't invented one.

What we'd compare on skin

We'd focus on the balance of freshness and sweetness. Does Victorioso give you the citrus-and-aquatic character you're after, and how does that sit against the woods as it settles? Invictus's grapefruit, sea notes and aromatic bay leaf help explain why simply sharing a woody base isn't the whole comparison.

Try them at the same time if you can. That makes it easier to judge the opening and the later woody stage without relying on a memory of the original.
