How do I stand out as a teenager at a party?

Please do not view this review in conjunction with the party context of the pandemic, but rather for what the fragrance is indeed suitable for.
I see the scent on a boy around 16, who, when it is allowed again, goes out to celebrate and wants to stand out with his fragrance, not wanting to wear something standard like 1 Million.

I actually find the opening quite good, although it is very indefinable and extremely synthetic. However, the fragrance has a rather interesting, sour twist that actually carries through to the end. Over the course, the chaotic mix gradually dissolves until I end up with a blend of vanilla, a bit of vetiver, and a pinch of sage, which is still combined with a lighter acidity up to that point.

In my opinion, there is not much more to say about the fragrance. The scent is - as is often the case with Paco Rabanne - not particularly subtle, which generally does not suit my taste. But do not view the fragrance in general, but rather for what it is intended for. A party scent for teenagers who want to stand out. In this context, one can also touch on the topic of the bottle. The bottle does fit somewhat into the room of a teenager who is at the beginning of their storm-and-stress phase. I cannot really imagine a Xerjoff or Tiziana Terenzi bottle (aside from the price) in that setting.

All in all, a new Paco Rabanne fragrance that one can at least test on a strip when the opportunity arises - but does not have to. But beware, it has a synthetic quality that gives me headaches, similar to Eros, etc.
