About This Perfume

Rabanne Ultraviolet Man smells like cool mint gelato, peppered with smoky moss. It opens with Russian coriander and Italian mint, moves into ambergris and black pepper and settles on crystallised moss and patchouli. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.

This eau de toilette works across all four seasons and is easy to wear day or night. It suits casual days and date nights. Released in 2001.

In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for casual days.
  • Sample first if: sweet is new territory for you.
  • Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.

Around $47.
