Invictus or Invictus Victory Elixir
One name, nothing in common
VS
Invictus
«Grapefruit and sea-fresh air over oakmoss — the gym-locker classic in blue.»
Invictus Victory Elixir
no price«Vanilla, tonka and lavender with incense and pepper: warm oriental volume under the same trophy.»
Same trophy bottle, same name — and by nose complete strangers. Invictus is a fresh aquatic for daytime and the gym; Victory Elixir a loud warm oriental for cold nights. The "which version" question is a trap: you're choosing between two unrelated perfumes. Louder by a mile is Victory Elixir.
Which is louder?

Invictus is safe for day, office and gym but forgettable; Victory Elixir is night and cold, too heavy for a desk.

They share only patchouli; Invictus is fresh grapefruit-mandarin-aquatic-guaiac, Victory Elixir warm vanilla-tonka-lavender-cardamom-incense. Nothing carries across.
Invictus in 2013 rode the blue-aquatic sport wave; Victory Elixir in 2023 pivots the trophy into the gourmand-oriental era, keeping only the name.
Both designer, same shelf, same trophy silhouette — but the bottle's promise is the only thing they actually share.
Victory Elixir is now the more searched; the blue original stays the older default.
