I like Paco scents buh.....

Just received this today as a pressie and although I've had it on my list of want-to-try I would have thought it would be have been nicer tbh.

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!

2 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..

If it was stronger and had even 4 hours staying power on my skin I'd keep it, as it is Im gonna ask if it can be returned and give her a few options to swap for tbh.

Close buh no ceegar Misturrr Rabanne ;-)

The first thing that pops into my head when I smell this is INCENSE. Or the smell of those esoteric stores. VERY synthetic and cheap smelling. Sillage and longevity are pathetic, even tough the scent can be a little too loud to the nose... And honestly, I don't see the 'sexy' side that people are saying in other reviews... Just keep in mind to NEVER buy this blind.

The scent starts as a kind of synthetic, mentholated, balsamic one with a rooty feel, and gets a transition towards a mossy, nutty bit creamy base where in my opinion prevail tonka bean, synthetic ambergris and honey. It has some reminiscences about kind of fragrances like Herrera 212 Sexy Men and a  bit One million. I find it too synthetic and fat. While the starting is acceptable with its aromatic, earthy, mentholated mark (liquid mint and organic vetiver), the drydown is off putting, too sweet and a bit rancid with a too pronouced nutty edible feel. Musks enhance the woodsy trait which assumes a milky temperament. Not for me. The longevity and the projection are more than good.

I've long been trying to find my 'signature' scent and i think in Paco Robanne's 'Ultraviolet Man', i just may have found it. Up until now, i've been wearing all sorts. From Hugo Boss Soul to Polo Double Black and Carolina Herrera Men, to but a few! I actually smelled this fragrance off a work colleague and couldn't for the life of me work out what it was. You can imagine my frustration! Having randomly sampled Ultraviolet by chance, i was amazed that i'd actually found it!
This scent is unique, quite unlike anything else i've worn, and believe me i've worn a lot! It's mildly sweet, has a truly fantastic opening (fresh mint and candy floss??) is quite synthetic (but in a very good way) has good longevity and it's projection is amazing.
Any man wearing this will surely stand-out in today's sterile, aquatic fruity/sports fragrances era.
I'm just amazed that there are only 17 positive reviews against 11 negative!!
Ignore the negative reviews (probably all aquatic wearers!!) completely and sample this for yourself.
