What do reviewers say about Dark Temptation and Invictus Victory?
It smells expensive. Not "almost convincing", actually expensive. The chocolate-vanilla combo has no business being this smooth at this price point, but here we are.Dark Temptation
Invictus Victory is an assertively sweet EDT that leans heavily on vanilla and tonka in the drydown. Its aromatic heart provides structure, but the sweet finish is the main event.Invictus Victory
