Soft-sweet fragrance.

My boyfriend has this EDT, so I can write a bit on how this projects on others.

All and all, this is a fragrance that starts as green/fresh with a great opening, and it turns into sweet/synthetic. It leaves a very nice, soft, and pleasant skinscent. Longevity is quite good, and sillage is quite soft, which is a good thing for these type of fragrances.

Peppermint bubblegum

This fragrance was created by Jacques Cavallier and Alberto Morillas. Although we only see Cavallier credited, Morillas worked with him.

This Is a fragrance that had some success sonce its being around for +20 years. Its not something that was common at the time, and it was probably received as a weird new thing.

It opens with a strong fresh and sweet concoction with coriander, a lot of peppermint and salty-sweet amber. As it dries down, the coriander dissipates, the mint became less fresh and the "ambergris" became more on front. There's some mossy-ness that contributes to the overall fresh greenness of the fragrance but its not something very natural, as expected.

This Is a very unique scent if we compare to the new stuff that came out and even with stuff that came at the time. When this was launched, we had Boss Bottled, Givenchy Pi, CH 212, Au Masculin and Le Mâle, as sweet fragrances. Nothing is similar to this one. This might be more Juvenile than the previous ones, but its fun to wear. Its appealing, sweet but still fresh, and definitely masculine. It kinda gives this peppermint bubblegum vibe to it.

This Is being discontinued and that's why i bought it cause, despite not being a super fan of it, its kinda fun for gym and its discontinued. Also, it hás a great price now. I pay around 30€ for the 100ml. The bottle is unique, a bit tacky, but still nice to have in the collection.

Projection and longevity arent great but not bad either. Kinda médium projection in the first hours and then it stays for 5-6h on skin.

A fun and young scent for the millennials out there to revive their teen ages (like myself)

Sweeeeet

It's pretty good, but it IS super sweet. And perhaps a bit synthetic, although I'm not sure if that word really means anything anymore.

One reviewer I saw on YouTube disliked it, because he said it reminded him of melted chocolate mint ice cream. And now that's the only thing I can think of when I smell it.

Not sure if that's good or bad....

Full Of Mint

Minty Fragrance. Nice smell, Stylish Bottle. It stays 5 to 6 hours on my skin. Projection is good, Longevity is also good. I get many compliments. But do spray on cloths for more projection.

Much more than just an eyecatcher

In my last order, this beautiful fragrance was also in the cart. I must confess, I never tested it because I never saw it in the store. It has been on my wishlist for a while due to the many positive comments and, like so many others here, because of the beautiful bottle.

I opened the box and took out this great bottle. It looks significantly more beautiful in the pictures, but it is truly an eyecatcher. Original yet not cheap.
Another reason I bought this fragrance is that I am a big fan of sweet scents. Upon the first spray, a sweetness greets you. Not an overpowering sweetness, but really very pleasantly fresh. The sillage is well dosed. It doesn’t come off as too showy, which also doesn’t suit this fragrance. It is very pleasant and modest. I can’t pick out the individual notes at all. The composition is rather complex, but that makes it unique.
The longevity is also very good. You can notice it for many hours, and it remains very present. Price-wise, it is also very good. 40 to 50 euros (100ml) is a bargain for such a great fragrance. Moreover, it is a versatile scent.
You can wear it for all occasions and throughout all four seasons. Especially in everyday life, it is really very pleasant and not intrusive. A great fresh scent that will delight many and hardly annoy anyone. For me, it is an everyday fragrance. Especially in spring and summer, but also good to wear on colder days.

Conclusion: Ultraviolet Man has completely convinced me. A sweet fragrance that has significantly more style compared to the new Rabannes. You can still wear it over 30 without getting strange looks.

After almost a year of use, I bought a second bottle. One for home and one for my locker at work. Reason: This fragrance is a perfect everyday scent. Even after wearing it multiple times, it doesn’t get boring. One of Paco's best. It is fresh, but still has something interesting.

Grapefruit, floral, vanilla, lightly powdery sweet, bit synthetic. Very Y2K regarding presentation, very much a child of its time

Quite youthful, powdery, sweet (but still okay), fresh, synthetic. But for what it is and wants to be, not bad at all.

Certainly a great business scent that you can still wear to an after-work dinner: synthetic, fresh, ambered, a bit green.

Nice guy, 42, wants to discover an uncomplicated EdT without Tinder. I'm pretty average and looking for you, the perfect scent.
