Ultraviolet, Ultra Stylish

Advantages: Stylish, and it smells lovely
Disadvantages: Useless if the spray breaks

...forgetting to give my friend her perfume back - I honestly can't think why I would have forgotten! So the bottle now sits on my dressing table! I went to Ireland on the ferry the other day (read my other op) and coming back I thought I would use the remainder of my Euros, so I bought some perfume, and guess what it was...........yeah, you're right, Ultraviolet by Paco Rabanne. I've got two bottles of the red now. I'm not sure what the difference is between the red and the purple, but I decided to stick to the red one. The perfume cost me £26.50 on the boat, but I have now seen it for £33 in Boots. This is for the 50ml bottle of Eau de Parfum spray. I actually went into Boots in Durham on my dinner break today, and I had a look at the prices, and the bottle I got on the ferry cost £43 in Boots! It was the purple colour, but still the same...

Review of Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet

Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet Man

Advantages: Smells Fantastic, Not Too Expensive
Disadvantages: None, Apart from friends stealing it

.... The fragrance is very modern, and is better suited for the 15- 30 age group in my personal opinion. It has been very well recieved by me, both male and female friends commenting on the scent. It is definately a good pulling tool lads! :p I find that this fragrance is best worn in the evening, at a meal, or down the pub, and is not really an all day fragrance. I find that the fragrance does last extremely well, I have found that at putting it on at around 6pm, it has lasted right through the night. After a couple of hours the scent mixes very well with your personal scent, and becomes deep and musky. However still keeping the sweetness and crispness. Prices for this fragrance are around £27 for 50ml, and £37 for 100ml, which is a very good price in my opinion, and could easily get away with being sold at least £10 more, I'd still definately...

Review of Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet Men

Pricey! Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

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

...the scent from this Eau De Toilette Spray really very unique indeed and very different from any other fragrance that I have in my growing collection. The perfume bottle I received with this gift set is 50ml in size and in my opinion, it is quite expensive even when I priced it for sale on the internet and not something I would be willing to pay for a perfume myself, but certainly it is nice to receive as a gift and I am pleased to have been bought it because it certainly is very pleasing in it's design and of course in it?s fragrance. 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...

Review of Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

Perfectly Purple Superbly Sexy

Advantages: Smells gorgeous, stylish packaging
Disadvantages: May not be everyones cup of tea

...looks gorgeous half glass and half silver metallic and the perfume itself is a bright purple colour. It is a rounded bottle though which means you can't stand the bottle on a dressing table which is a bit annoying. I found this paragraph on the internet that explains some of the different fragrances that make up Ultraviolet. "Ultraviolet by Paco Rabanne celebrates the intimacy and reality of a woman's life as she and her family truly live it. This fresh fragrance has notes of bergamot, chamomile, sage, osmanthus, Bulgarian rose, jasmine, white lily, carnation, freesia, amber, sandalwood and peach." The perfume itself has a very sweet smell, I love sweet smelling perfumes although I know that they aren't to some people's tastes. It is quite strong when you first apply it so it's best to not overdo it. I am trying to think of a way to...

Review of Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet

Purple Haze

Advantages: Long lasting , fabulous fragrance , suits a variety of ages , great colour
Disadvantages: Not cheap , nor a classic , may be heavy for some

...Please Note:- The one I bought is shown in the photo to the left and at the front BACKGROUND * * * * * * * * * * * * * I first smelt this perfume on a female colleague at work. She is young and always looks incredibly well turned out, smelling beautifully no matter what. She drifted past me and I caught a whiff of this fabulous fragrance . It was a little overpowering, and definitely not subtle, but I still loved it. When I enquired she told me it was Ultraviolet by Paco Rabanne. She said it smelled strong as she had just applied it and liked to spray plenty on. That summer , every time I worked with her , I would think 'I must get some of that perfume' and so, eventually, I did.

Review of Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet

Purple Haze

Advantages: Smells divine and it's purple!
Disadvantages: None - they've all been thought of and solved already

...has been described as ‘the expression of a woman who reveals a new fragrance attitude’ by Paco Rabanne and said to be ‘an inventive fragrance’ by retailers. I’m lucky enough to own the 80ml – eau de parfum vapoisateur natural spray (largest one of the lot!) This comes packaged in a 3 inch square by 4 inch tall box which is a gorgeous shiny deep purple colour which illuminates an almost rainbow effect when it catches the light – much more interesting than your average box I can tell you. The bottle itself is slightly odd and definitely not what you’d expect. As I said the shape is described as an ellipse which consists of a half circle glass bottom which is transparent and reveals the violet coloured perfume inside. When the bottle is turned on it’s side and looked into from...

Review of Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet

The smell of violets

Advantages: Nice smell
Disadvantages: None

...One day whilst sitting in my office I noticed a nice smell in the office, it reminded me of something but I couldnt quite make it out, then I saw one of my colleagues take out a strange bottle from her bag and I just had to ask what it was she told me it was Ultra Violet by Paco Rabanne so I asked for a squirt and fell in love with it. Ultra Violet was launced by Paco Rabanne in 1999 and comes in a round bottle with a glass bottom and a silver top, around the middle is a white soft plastic/rubbery type band where the spray comes out from, you just hold the bottle in your hand and press down on the silver top two or three squirts does the trick. The outer box is a plastic modular shape and is purple in colour and has the Paco Rabanne Ultra Violet name on it. The smell is very strong when first applied but soon settles down so...

Review of Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet

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 perfume has a light, refreshing, slightly sweet smell. It's not 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...

Review of Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet

Want to smell sexy and mysterious?......

Advantages: smells great, great bottle design, the body lotion is lush!
Disadvantages: none

...astonishment inside was the paco rabanne ultraviolet giftset... with a damaged box! Inside the gift set was a 30ml eau de parfum spray and a body lotion. I really like the ultraviolet body lotion, its not like the normal lotions you get in gift sets that can be all runny, instead this ones really thick and rich and makes skin really smooth and it smells gorgeous of course! This perfume is definately something you can wear in the day time or at night too. ~* WHERE CAN I GET IT? *~ You can get this perfume from most department stores and high street shops such as: Boots, Debenhams, Superdrug, The perfume shop, Perfume warehouse, The fragrance shop. You can also buy it online from www.boots.com or online fragrance shops such as: www.perfumewarehouse.co.uk. ~* COST...
