Jacques Cavallier

"Ultraviolet is a futuristic amber-floral fragrance introduced in 1999 as a feminine Eau de Parfum. Its character contrasts a peppery, spicy opening with a luminous violet-centered floral heart. Rose, jasmine, and Japanese osmanthus give the middle a soft yet distinctive floral texture. Vanilla, amber, patchouli, and cedar create a warm, sensual, woody drydown. The overall effect is an unusual late-1990s floriental that feels both cool and richly enveloping. Its colorful identity and unconventional composition helped make it one of Paco Rabanne's most recognizable feminine fragrances."

Reviews Summary

“Ultraviolet is regarded as a fresh floriental and a futuristic, spicy-floral feminine fragrance. Its violet bouquet, warm amber, woods, and pimento create a distinctive contrast, while its longevity is commonly considered strong. Overall reception is generally positive, though it is more unconventional than universally crowd-pleasing.”
