Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet by Paco Rabanne is a distinctive and polarizing fragrance with a futuristic, synthetic character that stands out among other masculine scents. It opens with a crisp, refreshing mint note that quickly blends into a sweet, ambery base with subtle vanilla and woody earthy undertones. The overall impression is smooth and airy—both clean and slightly powdery—with moments of unexpected freshness and depth. It’s an aromatic, sweet-woody creation that evokes modern minimalism and electronic atmospheres rather than traditional masculinity. While some find the mint initially overwhelming or artificial, most agree it mellows into a well-balanced, sensual, and less aggressive scent that shifts subtly over time. Longevity remains moderate to strong, with projections ranging from moderate to excellent depending on skin chemistry and application, though newer versions are often noted as weaker in performance and sillage compared to older batches. The signature bottle with its sleek, futuristic design makes it instantly recognizable and appeals to those who appreciate artistic packaging.
