Ultraviolet by Paco Rabanne Eau De Toilette For Men, 50ml

Product Information

As much as I like this I have to say performance, on me at least, isn't great, which is a shame because the first time I smelt it it won me over. It's easily one of the most unique perfumes I have ever owned (and I have owned close enough to 100 perfumes!

suit both day and evening scent, like the bottle and the color, sounds a bit like a scent of future?

Now it's very in-your-face-peppers, that luckily soften after a couple of minutes and the violets start to appear, still very recognizable, noticeable and nice, but more "flat" then I remember. I really am looking forward to wearing this in the Fall and Winter months, it is just so cosy, like an enormous furry super-sized fluffy blanket enveloping you with a spicy ultraviolet cloud. It's very fresh, very sweet, very loud, it's definitely one to avoid if you have a headache, as I've found over the years it makes things worse.

Smells like you have just showered with a good shower gel, and are now wrapped in fresh and fluffy terry towels. The vanilla is also barely there which, I think, is a good thing, as so many other scents flaunt vanilla to excess. However I think this would be a lovely fragrance if I had a big meeting at work and needed to impress. I'll let the bottle sit for a few weeks and come back to it, hopefully it just needs some maceration time.

It classifies as a 90s scent with a metallic note, a true Paco Rabanne's signature in most of their original perfumes. Others may find it chemical or synthetic or cloying… But, oh my, I am a girl that loves this scent on a man. I love orientals and have been recently getting more into spicy orientals and being Mexican, I thought the chili note sounded super cool and was worth checking out. update, i just came back from outside and sprayed a generous amount of it on me both skin and clothes and had to come back to say that this is a room filler! I really love to smell it but unfortunately it triggers my migraine and the mixture of coriander and strong violets gets clogging and makes me feel dizzy.
