Love it!

Advantages: lovely, gorgeous smell, reasonable price
Disadvantages: none

I've been wearing ultraviolet for so long now that I can't remember why I first bought it...I do remember that I graduated in my late teens from the EDT to the EDP and that that was one of the better decisions I made in my late teens. The reasonable priced Ultraviolet comes in a stylish, easy to use bottle. But others before me have discussed the packaging in much greater detail, I prefer to discuss talk about the important thing. The smell. The ...
...overpowering in any way, there's nothing that I at least can put my finger on as saying it smells like. And that in my opinion is it's strength. There's a subtlety to it. When you smell it, you pick up a variety of fragrances and just can't quite figure out what they are. But maybe that's just me (sitting sniffing myself as I type). All I know is, I adore the fragrance, and I have never ever had as many compliments about a fragrance as I have when ...

Review of Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet

Latino Sprito in a bottle

Advantages: classic style, uniqueness in the CK era
Disadvantages: none really

...uses it in his fragrances. Paco Rabanne pour homme has been around for eons. I guess that's saying something in this fickle fashion world we live in. This has to be one of the most soft and fresh fragrances a man can find. I have to admit I stayed away from it, largely due to the fact that my Dad used to wear it when I was young (though he also wore Eau Sauvage which is now one of my faves ;). But recently I saw an offer that I couldn't refuse ...
...quid for a 50ml bottle in superdrug). Lets start with the bottle - it will sit proudly on your bathroom shelf or your dressing table. It is non-fussy, and simple design. Apart from M7, this has to be one of the smartest bottle designs - no cap to fuss with. The fragrance itself will shock most young men. The more mature will appreciate its approach though. It starts of very sharp, very high. If anyone knows what Sage and Rosemary smell like, its ...

Review of Paco Rabanne Eau De Toilette Spray

Sex in a bottle

Advantages: Gorgeous smell, pretty bottle
Disadvantages: Costs a fair bit, but so does every perfume

After hours (literally hours) of walking around Fenwick's perfume department, armed with about a hundred of those little bits of card they give you to spray the perfume on (which all smelt worryingly similar), I was worn to a-ravelling and was ready to either pick one almost at random or give up and go home but then suddenly I found it. This absolute diamond in the rough that was different from every other perfume in that damned place. For one thing, ...
...deep purpley colour, I loved it the moment I saw it, and wanted it atop my dressing table where I could bask in it's loveliness. But it was the smell that really captivated me - modern and yet somehow classic - it was floral without being old-ladyish and fruity without it being too overt. I gazed at it longing and rewarded my boyfriend with 1000 kisses when he produced it for my birthday a few months later. It is the most lovely scent. So if you're ...

Review of Paco Rabanne Black XS Pour Elle Eau de Toilette Spray

candy / dirt

Advantages: staying power, you can still use it for your toilet
Disadvantages: staying power (till death parts us)

...woody scent. Black xs of paco rabanne is definitely my worst perfume.! do u remember D and G light blue? in fact it's the same but in a little more fruity, woody and XS of amber. The similarities are so obvious that it screams "NO CREATIVITY" !! I also hate the green apple and strawberry scents, because i find them to chemical ( again XS) Another con would be the amber scent which is supposed to prove manliness but doesn't at all, on the contrary ...
...about this perfume, i guess paco rabanne wasnt convinced of the smell, to spend so much money on ads and sponsoring... u don't need that much marketing to sell a good scent i think... But it actually worked everyone wanna buy XS it mostly attracted body-builders and young playaaas looking of a new virility. finally this perfume is for 3 kinds of people: -people who never bought a perfume before -KIDS -People who can't smell( sad handicap) Black ...

Review of Paco Rabanne Black XS Eau De Toilette Spray

Pricey! Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

Advantages: Long lasting and beautiful fragrance
Disadvantages: Price!!!!

...Well I was bought this Paco Rabanne Xs Elle Eau De Toilette Spray as a gift from my Mother, the Christmas before last. I had never tried or even thought of trying this fragrance out before as I have always associated Paco Rabanne fragrances with men really and did not even realise Paco Rabanne made women's fragrances until just over one year ago. Well I actually received this Eau De Toilette Spray in a beautiful gift set with a bottle of body lotion ...
...Gift Box: I received this Paco Rabanne 50ml Xs Elle Eau De Toilette Spray in a beautiful metallic gold, shiny gift box. On the box itself are lovely printed silver letters of a capital X and S on alternatives sides, right around the box and they really stand out well against the gold background. It really is a very lovely looking set that certainly would be nice to give to any woman as a present. Of course this toilet spray can be bought on ...
