Simply put, this is as equivalent to a fluffy, ultra soft cashmere sweater as anything can get. I am REALLY falling in love with this scent. It's soft but sultry, super sexy violet concoction...powdery, peppery, spicy gorgeousness. 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.Very vintage and purple smelling...I feel like I am wrapped up in a luxurious extra large mink coat. Compozitia parfumului este florala si usor vibranta datorita aromelor de piper roz, iar spre baza devine vanilata prin prezenta notelor vanilate in inima parfumului si spre baza lui.

Like others have stated it might not be much of a "signature scent" and it doesn't stand up and shout "HELLO, EVERYONE, I'M HERE!" but it's a wonderful spring scent and I'm trying to collect more of those as a new perfumista who mostly has only fall/winter bottles.Its nice and sweet smelling, the mint I can barely get, but on my skin it just doesnt seem strong enough, and promptly disappears doh!

Edit: Well it is for about one week I have this at home. The first sniff was like uaaaa :) Don´t know how to describe it, but I had a same feeling like I was on some carousel at carnival, smelling all stalls with sweets and exotic food. It was pulsing on me once violet, once some woody notes and all different notes (which I couldn´t identify). I had just euphoric mood and was very hapy of this buy. For the modern man, Ultraviolet Man is an essential addition to any fragrance collection. Its bold, masculine aroma will captivate the senses and make a lasting impression. Enjoy the mysterious depths of Ultraviolet Man and experience the power of its addictive scent. The flacon lets this lovely fragrance down, as it looks like a big ugly egg. Surely PR could've had a little more imagination instead of creating a bottle which reminds me of something out of the Flintstones.Hmmm. Tested this on the store and wow, I was blown away..... by how it smells so weird! I never knew what "synthetic" smelled like, but when I got a whiff of this, dare I say this might just fit the bill quite adequately. It is sweet, yes. But for me, a fragrance can either be 'creamy/yummy' sweet or 'nauseous' sweet. Too bad Ultraviolet belongs to the latter for me. This scent is unique and reminds me a little of Alien it has the same unusual vibe as Alien, not a similar scent. I find this one quirkier than Alien. I feel it I wear this well- it is nice for colder months- I find it too cloying in the summer. It lasts 6 hours on me- but projection is strong when one firsts spray but then it does turn into a skin scent. Anyway I am not good at identifying the individual notes but to me it is powdery metalllic smelling yet has a dewiness about it also. There is no strong peppery spicy notes for me- it is smoothly blended in my opinion- I don't know- I find it unique smelling and it has a unique feel- it just works with my skin- I like it's 'vibe'! 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.

One reviewer I saw on YouTube disliked it, because he said it reminded him of melted chocolate mint ice cream. And now that's the only thing I can think of when I smell it. |For those seeking a fragrance that stands out, Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet Man offers a unique, multi-dimensional blend of notes. The long-lasting scent will have heads turning wherever you go, making this your new favourite fragrance.I believe it is marvelous and still feels very contemporary; it is sensual in a rather non-offensive(not in-your-face sexiness.)
