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

Product Information

I have the one in the main picture, 50ml, and its difficult to hold and spray if you have small hands like mine, and when its getting to the end its impossible to get it at the right angle to successfully spray out those last few mls.

As always, Paco Rabanne not disappoint, asserting itself as one of the best brands of perfumes in the world.I smelled it just today after all those years and from what I remember it’s lost quite abit of its strength after all those years yet it’s still quite expensive in my view. Eventhough is an oriental frangrance it´s not very strong which I really like because I can wear it all day. My wordrope has over 200 perfumes, niche and mainstreams and this together with Aventis, duc de Vervins, Tabarome, rive gauche pour homme and strictly private are the best according to my wife. The pepper is a bit overpowering at first, but then the composition settles into a nicely balanced scent of osmanthus with slight hint of violets. I used to have a small tester of Ultraviolet back in the 2000 and it smelled like a soft, mysterious, violet mist or cloud that surrounded you after you sprayed it.

I always get compliments with this one but it must be very early after application because it disappears from my skin / clothes in no time. I find this scent totally gender-fluid and the male and female versions interchangable: they have the same DNA and they can wear each other's juice without upsetting anyone. Smells like a lot of other vintage fragrances of the genre and does go on a bit bitter and sour and ugly then fades into a soft, sweet kind of watered nothingness.The mint opening is nice and I love the vanilla dry down, But either my nose is blind to it after an hour or this one has no performance. I like it when a vastly different and unconventional sprayer mechanism has been incorporated and that's exactly what ultraviolet has. That cool futuristic purple liquid made me think it was going to be an Iris or Lavender composition that was spacey, ethereal and cosmic.
