Ultraviolet Flouressence (2005)
by Paco Rabanne

Fluoressence is lively, fun, sweet and intensely fruity (fruity as in tart red berries smoothed off with vanilla) making it perfect for hot & sunny weather daytime wear as well as at the beach, on holiday, etc. Although I bought it for my wife, I think this would also make a perfect present for a young teenager just getting into perfumes because of its fun and sunny demeanour and novel bottle. About the bottle: be wary that my wife's sprayer didn't work at the beginning and I almost took it back to the shop for an exchange/refund before I fiddled with it and luckily got it to work again. This perfume has good sillage and longevity which makes it far more impressive than the similarly sweet and berry-like YSL Parisienne.
