Fragrance Profile
Basenotes says...
The newest Paco scent and the partner to the ladies Ultraviolet. The bottle is amazing: the spray is activated by a rubber trigger.
Ultraviolet contains notes of Moss, Honey, Tonka Bean, Musk and Amber. The fragrance is reminiscent of Xeryus Rouge and Minotaure.

|  I've never worn Ultraviolet myself, but a good friend of mine has been wearing it for years. It's a very strange fragrance, and it's unique in the best way. It's such a unique fragrance that I'm not even sure what the notes are - the best I can describe it is "sweet and musky, with a salty ambergris drydown." While the drydown is ambergris heavy, it doesn't smell like the drydown of a modern Creed fragrance. Rather, the ambergris is salty and slightly bitter, with a powdery facet to it and very, very diffusive. Ultraviolet has this amazing quality where it just surrounds the wearer, creating an aura of sweet musk without overpowering. I agree with the people who say it's very synthetic, but I can't say that's a bad thing. It might not smell natural, but I've never found it to be cloying, cheap or annoying. While I can't really describe the way it smells, I can say that I love it, as many others do too. 8.75/10 20 November 2009 |

|  Decent at most. It smells rather unique, which is a pleasant surprise considering the copious amounts of recent designer releases that seem to revolve around the same few themes. However, I hardly found this pleasurable to wear. It is hard to break this scent down. I can only repeat what has been said many times about this. It smells synthetic. Yes I know that most of the best, natural smelling fragrances are probably made up of synthetics, but Ultraviolet actually smells synthetic. 29 October 2009 |

|  A routine mall testing experience, that begins with the application via a bottle based on a staple gun. The reason this has slipped under the critical radar is that it is simply unworthy of criticism, good or bad. In essence, this is a fragrance with a twiddly synthetic opening, followed by an amber by numbers drydown. 25 July 2009 |

|  I'm seeing purple hype! Sweet and synthetic? Yes, also eminently forgettable. We're getting silly with this one. Not fun-silly like Quasar or Nostalgia, just silly. 19 June 2009 |

|  As mentioned in the book "Perfumes: The Guide": Violet and sugar. Sounds about right, seems like there's some vanilla in the base as well. Pointless but nice, short-lived as well. Might be good for a date on a summer evening. The bottle was kinda cool. Staple gun, I guess. Meh. 16 June 2009 |
