About this deal

A versatile scent, day to night, safe enough for the boardroom, but touch up with a few more sprays and it becomes a sexy scent for a night out. The notes completely contrast each other, the warm amber and the fresh mint, and yet they also work perfectly with each other and make this fragrance very versatile. I didn't have the time to wash it off from me and after one or two hours the scent that i liked was there but mixed with the other grassy smell, but it was nice! I'm a 6'8 guy and wearing this definitely is an eyebrow raiser but more in an impressive way, like wearing a pink shirt but having chest hair and a fully fledged lumberjack beard gleaming through! On the skin, somewhat reminiscent of Spellbound but not as loud, there's a cinnamon (even though there aren't any cinnamon notes listed), spicy settling that increases the ooooomph of this fragrance.

If I can describe it, it smells clean, spicy like pepper at first but after a few minutes the peppery clean fresh smell disappears and become something so unique, I have never smelled anything like it before, I can smell the rose and something else. top notes smell so energetic and modern,middle notes is gorgeous and the base notes is simply masculine and sexy, long staying power and wonderful sillage. They're not the same though, and while I love both, I think Ultraviolet is a little less in-your-face and therefore easier to wear. It is actually what I was hoping Generous Violet to smell like, but that turned out to be a screechy ozonic mess. 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.

But now every time she wears it, I feel like throwing up and I am literally gasping for air if she is driving with me in the car. Also the bottle is somewhat inconvenient, can't exactly carry it around in your bag and the reflective top is like a funhouse mirror! There is nothing natural smelling about this one, it's quite synthetic but very smooth,unique and wonderful regardless. I am not very happy to be trapped in zodiac's stereotype because im a Pisces and i am usually advised to wear watery and light scents and still sometimes I enjoy more spicy ones. I like it when a vastly different and unconventional sprayer mechanism has been incorporated and that's exactly what ultraviolet has.

Kalıcılığı ortalama, kokusu ortanın üstü olan bu parfümü yaşı 40'ın altında ve özellikle yakışıklı, sportif arkadaşlara şiddetle öneririm.

It's delightful to have these two in my collection but I wouldn't use either as a signiture scent because they lean towards femme and gets to a little much! First of all, despite the fact that somehow I never had it (and I am a perfume hoarder) it is very very familiar. good sprays on the chest and 1 on the wrist and barely an hour later I nearly snorted me arm clear off tryna get a whiff lol. After the heart fades, it clings to my skin really beautifully and become something like a skin scent (? just something about the whole Paco Rabanne range that makes me think that it worn by guys who stuff their 'spare' socks down their trousers.

I mainly smell the pepper, some violets in the background which gives a powderiness and coriander, theres also some rose mixed with osmanthus, it all layers up nicely to create this "digital" abstract scent, it lasts for hours, days even, but it does stay close to the skin which I like, its quite "come hither" so to speak. So if you like the other two Perfumes that I've mentioned in this review you really will also love Ultraviolet! The pepper is hit and miss for me in perfumes, but in this composition it is played well with other notes. I love orientals and have been recently getting more into spicy orientals and being Mexican, I thought the chili note sounded super cool and was worth checking out. It wouldn’t surprise me if this has a quiet but very loyal following, because I think I’ve smelled it before.Now after I went through a heady, crazy time trying to find my night time scent, (I tried on Opium, Tresor, Organza, Shalimar and Chanel No. How anyone can have anything bad to say about this sweet violet delight is a mystery to me but that said I have loved this from first smell my boyfriend at the time bought me this mistaking it for the men's version which I am also a fan of. The sweetness is actually mostly in the opening, with a loud amber note, but it quickly goes away, and you're left with a fresh, woody and a bit spicy scent. For those office days and moments where you need your projection as a clean fragrance not at all in someone's face.
