Titan Surge (Inspired by Invictus -Paco Rabanne)

This is pure, concentrated perfume oil and still needs to be diluted.
This can be done with perfumer’s alcohol, or alcohol-free with a carrier oil such as jojoba or fractionated coconut oil.

Example:
To make 50 ml of eau de toilette, use 2.5 to 5 ml of the fragrance concentrate and add 45 to 47.5 ml of perfumer’s alcohol or jojoba oil.

Find out how much fragrance concentrate you get per perfume type and bottle size.

Perfume type	Concentrate (%)	30 ml bottle	50 ml bottle	100 ml bottle
Perfume / Extract	20–35%	6–10.5 ml	10–17.5 ml	20–35 ml
Eau de Parfum (EdP)	10–20%	3–6 ml	5–10 ml	10–20 ml
Eau de Toilette (EdT)	5–10%	1.5–3 ml	2.5–5 ml	5–10 ml
Eau de Cologne	2–5%	0.6–1.5 ml	1–2.5 ml	2–5 ml
Aftershave / Eau Fraîche	1–3%	0.3–0.9 ml	0.5–1.5 ml	1–3 ml

💡 Explanation : The higher the percentage of fragrance concentrate, the more intense and longer the scent lasts.
Perfume contains the most concentration and lasts the longest on the skin.
Aftershave and Eau Fraîche are the lightest and evaporate faster.

You can customize Titan Surge – Inspired by Invictus (Paco Rabanne) to make the scent profile stronger, more subtle or more personal.

Below you will find some practical guidelines and creative ideas:

 

1. Enhance top notes (fresh & marine)

• Dihydromyrcenol – clean, waxy, enhances the fresh opening
• Calone – gives a distinct marine/breezy effect
• Limonene – enhances the citrus freshness of grapefruit
• Melonal – for a watermelon-like freshness

2. Deepening heart notes (aromatic & floral)

• Hedione – transparent jasmine-like freshness
• Stemone – enhances green leafy tones
• Geraniol – floral-fresh, enhances the laurel feeling

3. Enrich base (wood & amber)

• Ambroxan – modern amber, powerful and diffuse
• Iso E Super – velvety soft wood, boost diffusion
• Cashmeran – musky, woody, slightly spicy
• Ambergris substitute (e.g. Ambergris Synth) – luxurious, animalic accent

 

Sample formula (50 ml Eau de Parfum)

• 5 ml Titan Surge dupe
• 0.3 ml Dihydromyrcenol
• 0.2 ml Calone
• 0.3 ml Ambroxan
• 0.2 ml Hedione
• Add 44 ml of perfumer’s alcohol or carrier oil

Allow the mixture to mature for at least 1–2 weeks for optimal fragrance development.

 

💡 Creative variations

• Add raspberry or blackcurrant for a fruity twist
• Use frankincense or cistus for a mystical accent
• Add a leather accord for a bolder, niche look
• Combine with ozonic molecules for an extra fresh, airy vibe

This way, you can turn Titan Surge into a fragrance that is not only inspired by Invictus, but also bears your unique signature.
