Ultraviolet, Ultra Stylish

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

...I recently went out for the night with a friend and she asked me if I would put a bottle of perfume in my bag, because her bag was too small, mine is big enough for the kitchen sink! She took the perfume out with her instead of using a bodyspray. Happy to oblige I put the perfume in my bag, it was Ultraviolet by Paco Rabanne. My first thought was, oh doesn't that look fun! The bottle was really unusual, it was round in shape and the top half was silver and the bottom was glass with pink liquid inside. Around the middle of the bottle was a thin band of rubber, and I realised that this was the spray. You push down on the silver top of the bottle and the rubber goes down, which results in the perfume spraying out! I was like a kid with a new toy. I love unusual bottle and such like, as I always end up keeping them when they are...

Review of Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet Men

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

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

Pricey! Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

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

...Reason For Purchasing: 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 and some matching shower gel so it really was a nice gift to receive for Christmas as I love perfumes and their bottles (probably more) so even if the fragrance was not to my taste, at least I had a nice perfume bottle to add to my growing collection on my dressing table and Bathroom shelves. Well I was not disappointed at all with this fragrance and I find...

Review of Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

Purple Haze

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

...After smelling this product in a magazine sample, I pestered my boyfriend to buy me a bottle for Christmas and haven’t regretted it since. As the newest addition to my collection it’s certainly one of my all-time favourites, although I am probably slightly bias seeing as my favourite colour is purple and this fragrance is the epitome of the colour in my opinion. This perfume was introduced by the design house Paco Rabanne in 2000 and is a vision of the new millennium translated into the spiritual essence of modern femininity. Made in France, it describes itself as the harbinger of a new femininity. The colour - violet - being the chromatic symbol of femininity. The bottle is made from glass, silicone and metal in order to give a true tactile softness to the object and is made in a shape known as an ellipse. This perfume...

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...
