About the Brand

The brand was founded by Paco Rabanne in 1966. Puig has held the licence for its cosmetics division since 1968 and acquired the entire Rabanne business in 1987. In 2023, the brand updated its visual identity, transitioning from the name Paco Rabanne to Rabanne.

Rabanne operates in the fragrance, fashion and decorative cosmetics segments.

Invictus Victory Absolu Intense thus forms part of the portfolio of a brand that, alongside fragrances, is also active in fashion and decorative cosmetics.
