Invictus Platinum

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on absinthe and grapefruit, moves through mint and lavender, and settles on cypress and patchouli.

• grapefruit: bitter-fresh citrus, more tart and less sweet than orange
• mint: cool and sharp, with a cleansing bite

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
