Ultraviolet Man Rabanne 2001 Eau de Toilette

Curious due to the other comments, I tested Ultraviolet Man (UM) yesterday. And it is once again interesting how individually different the perception is. The scent is unusual and innovative because it stands out clearly from others. However, I had expected a techno-futuristic touch and an EdT that, for example, a character in "Tron" could wear. The design of the bottle also evokes such associations for me.

Instead, UM reminds me of a summer evening in a street café in Italy. In front of me is a mint ice cream along with a warm waffle dusted with powdered sugar. And my companion is just lighting a cigarette, the smoke of which mingles a bit with the mint aroma and the sweetness of the waffle. Since hardly anyone smokes anymore today, this scenario is also set in the past - which gives it a slightly nostalgic touch.

Before anyone feels put off by the "cigarette smoke" aroma: it is extremely subtle and stays in the background. Overall, I find UM very pleasant and harmonious. For myself, it is not an option for now. It is too soft and too sweet for me.
