Launched in 1999, Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet EDP stands as a daring floral-oriental fragrance with a mystically futuristic edge. Created by perfumer Jacques Cavallier, it was designed to evoke the dawn of the new millennium, embracing the Age of Aquarius with its unconventional notes and sculptural bottle.
The scent opens with a spicy-fresh burst—blackberry and chili pepper add unexpected heat and vibrancy, soon joined by the soft elegance of jasmine and osmanthus. This floral heart then drifts into a deeply indulgent base of vanilla absolute and ambergris, lending warmth and sensual sophistication. The overall effect is striking, balancing contrasts—sweet with spice, floral with oriental depth—making Ultraviolet a statement fragrance for evening and special moments.
