Ultraviolet Perfume

Paco Rabanne opens Ultraviolet Perfume on pepper, orange pepper, pimento, apricot, coriander, fresh almond, and Brazilian rosewood, an ambitious spiced fruity rush unlike most typical florals. Violet, Japanese osmanthus, rose, and jasmine carry the middle into lush, romantic floral territory that softens all that early spice considerably throughout the entire wear. Vanilla, amber, patchouli, and cedar close the base in warm, resinous depth that lingers gently for many hours after the application fades completely. This floral oriental Eau De Parfum suits evening wear and formal occasions especially well, really bold rather than at all understated about its own considerable presence. Paco Rabanne developed something honestly striking here, spiced, floral, and entirely worthy of its vivid, unapologetic name and bold color.
