Over the past 5 years I used around 7 bottles of Ultraviolet. I never saw anything that would smell the same way. It's so individual and bright and a bit old-fashioned but in a good way.

This can be use anytime and anywhere...But i see this shining more during the late spring and all of summer.YanaYanaYana - this is not like them. They have violet leaf, this does not, and it is quite noticeable. This is lovely, but much more "powdery" than Violet Blonde or B. Balenciaga. If you're looking for something like those two, this isn't it. Paco Rabanne s-a nascut pe data de 18 februarie 1934 in inima Spaniei Basce, in San Sebastian. Pe vremea cand era copil, el si familia sa au indurat in Spania bombele razboiului inainte de a se exila in Franta datorita afilieriilor politice. Inainte de a se muta in Franta, mama sa a lucrat pentru Balenciaga pe postul de croitoreasa sefa. In 1952, Paco Rabanne a studiat arhitectura si scoala de arte la Beaux din Paris, si a produs accesorii pentru couturierii timpului. Courreges, Cardin, Balenciaga si Givenchy l-au incurajat si i-au sustinut munca cumparandu-i schitele. Paco Rabanne a avut prima prezentare de moda in 1966. Rabanne a fost primul care a creat rochii de unica folosinta din hartie.

In anul 1967 a lansat prima colectie de haine mulate, cambrate pe corp. Primul parfum al sau l-a lansat in 1969 si se numeste Calandre. Menit pentru o femeie activa, acest parfum a fost considerat ca revolutionar pentru acele vremuri. In 1973, a lansat primul parfum pentru barbati, Paco Rabanne pour Homme, fiind primul parfum aromatic de pe piata. XS Pour Elle a fost lansat mult mai tarziu in 1995, fiind urmat de primul sau parfum unisex, Paco, in 1996, care a fost prezentat intr-o sticla de metal reciclabila. Doi ani mai tarziu, a fost creat Paco Energy, iar un an dupa aceea si-a facut debutul parfumul Ultraviolet pentru femei. Ultraviolet strikes on the skin with a fresh spicy osmanthus. It's really the sort of fresh watery spices. I smell mostly orange pepper, grey pepper and some ginger. The osmanthus is not overly sweet. The spices add some edge to the adorable fruity floral osmanthus, which is an unfamiliar combination but works surprisingly well. I totally love this scent, one of the few perfumes where I've emptied bottles and rebought more than twice. I'm an "Aquarius" too!!! As i said it smells nice but i'm not impressed enough to go buy it anytime soon but you should try it at least!I really love this because it is a lovely blend of old style with a bit of new. It is a soft spicy powdery cloud with medium longevity and sillage a bit on the light side. Later on in the drydown, there is a little more patchouli than I care for, but the violet holds it own. A very lovely little violet perfume, and a little bit vintage It is definitely for spring /autumn and summer nights,it's airy & light.I dont see how this could be a winter fragrance,it wouldn't cut it in cold weather. It literally unfolds before your your nose. The sweetness amps up within about 10 minutes on my skin, and the perfume smells like the TRUE way it's going to smell for a while. Gorgeous sugary violets amongst other delicate florals. This is just heavenly.

I really like this. First impression was rubbish to be perfectly frank (way too sour!), but give it 10 minutes and get out of Boots Fragrances into the fresh air and bam - there is the sweet Violet I was expecting. If you like Armani - Code , Paco Rabane -1 Million or Chanel - Allure then you will love Ultraviolet also Ultra violet was the perfect scent to accompany my very precious memories of that period of my life, these very hard and strong and at the same time beautiful days, with all these travellers and sunsets and colleagues (some of them still friends) at that busy and sometimes preciously quiet airport. I just brought a little his & her's 5ml set for Ultraviolet & I love it. The men's is striking and the womans is not what I had expected. EDIT: After i bough myself Encre Noir it isn't the strangest scent ever for my and get far more likable for me after the Encre Noir lolIt's pretty good, but it IS super sweet. And perhaps a bit synthetic, although I'm not sure if that word really means anything anymore. The vanilla, amber and soft delicate florals shadow the spices really, and make this into a dreamy fragrance.
