A fresh and minty fragrance with a touch of sweetness. The opening is quite fresh with a blast of mint and amber. The amber is consistent while the mint fades a bit. A subtle sweetness lingers for the duration of the scent though.
The note combinations are interesting and the fragrance is quite unique. The opening reminds me a little of Ralph Lauren Purple Label but I’m yet to smell anything else similar to this. It’s also a great fragrance for hotter weather.
Sillage is good at over an arms length and the longevity is also pretty good. I get a consistent 4-6 hours.

I’m not sure of the huge differences in opinion on longevity of this product. It seems to me that all fragrances don’t last very long (less than 90 minutes to disappear completely) or they are just skin scents and don’t project at all well. This includes strong scents such as YSL Kouros. This scent reminds me of Klein’s Contradiction but slightly better. It is weak which is fine if you live in N. America where “no scents is good sense” seems to be prevalent. It’s just not that special and is expensive for what it is. It doesn’t project at all well and that can be applied to all designer EDTs however. The reformulations just don’t cut it anymore.
alex.t – :
A refreshing fragrance for the afternoon in the summer days, has a special fragrant that dispenses with all the perfumes marketed by Ultra or Blue Light
XaXoLz – :
Beautiful scent and yes very synthetic. This is something that Mugler would release now and in the opening it does have a similarity with Kryptomint. Thats just in the opening though. Later it does remind me of Purple label by R. Lauren. Lovely stuff and very underrated. 8/10
iava1973 – :
Ultraviolet stands the same line with Encre Noir, Terre d Hermes and Narciso Him. Very complex, sweet, earthy, musky, forest, deep. Love it. Not for kids.
10xc994 – :
A Sparkling Amberbergris aromatic
I find it a lighter scent and unique, but the dry down does not have enough backbone or strength for me. It is modern, but has a vibe or feel of lavender.
Overall a light aromatic and almost transparent.It does create a unique feel, but the synthetic nature detracts from that, making it more of a average fragrance for me
5 hours longevity and fair to poor projection
I am not sure if I got noticed, and I did not get compliments
blosser – :
nice perfume best enjoyed when weather is breezy and warm.
Meues055intitytek – :
This thing was amazing in 2007 and it is amazing now!
i first got my hand on this in 2006 and have loved it ever since , i got my second bottle of the batch before 2010 and i still have abit of juice left! smelling it sometime reminds how unique of a release it was! breat job done by PR and it never hurt that it came in a cool bottle!
leaves an amazing silage!
Незабудка – :
This is what I’d call a modern (oriental) fougere.
This title constantly falls on YSL -contemporary but now classic- Rive Gauche and as good as this scent is, it doesn’t really scream “modern” neither in its concept nor in its execution… This Rabanne offering despite being mostly stripped down and reduced to the minimun elements to be recognized as a fougere (citruses, moss, amber), does the job and with the addition of vanilla and mint (quite subdued and not too herbal) creates a nice contrast keeping things interesting. The amber accord is also quite well done, not screechy or too loud, keeping things together and giving a nice base to the scent.
Is this blend synthetic? Absolutely! Is it balanced and pleasant to wear? It surely is! May not be a masterpiece or groundbreaking but adds a nice -modern- twist to the genre.
The version I tested is a new one; that means it could have changed from the original, including performance which is quite weak.
——————————–
Esto es lo que yo llamaría un fougere (oriental) moderno.
Este título recae constantemente en YSL -contemporáneo pero ahora un clásico- Rive Gauche y a pesar de lo bueno que este aroma es, realmente no destila “moderno” ni en su concepto ni en su ejecución… Esta oferta de Rabanne a pesar de estar mayormente despojada y reducida a los elementos mínimos para ser reconocido como un fougere (cítricos, musgo, ámbar), cumple con la clasificación y con la adición de vainilla y menta (bastante tenue y no demasiado herbal) crea un buen contraste manteniendo las cosas interesantes. El acorde de ámbar también está bastante bien hecho, no chillón o demasiado fuerte, manteniendo las cosas juntas y dando una buena base al aroma.
¿Es esta mezcla sintética? ¡Absolutamente! ¿Es equilibrada y agradable de llevar? ¡Sin dudas! Puede que no sea una obra maestra o innovadora pero aporta un apreciable y moderno giro al género.
La versión que probé es nueva; eso significa que podría haber cambiado desde el original, incluido el rendimiento, que es bastante débil.

This is genious stuff!
In my opinion it has a hidden forecast of trend, that the new millenium will bring gender-bender issues to surface and a message to just accept it and go with the flow..I find this scent totally gender-fluid and the male and female versions interchangable: they have the same DNA and they can wear each other’s juice without upsetting anyone. This is a male scent (the mint is the note that points it out) but it smells lovely on my skin: sweeter and not so minty, more amber and vanilla and in the drydown mixed spices. Lovely! On my fella it’s more like amber incense and creme de mènthe with something dirty rubbed all over it, like hay. I remember this one from the times I used to go to clubs in the noughties and got a whiff here and there – I still find it interesting. As fresh as sexy, and the bottle is another masterpiece!Love!
luksor – :
Great opening, so potent and sexy. After 15 minutes it’s all gone and after that it’s just some undefined sweet smell. Since I have couple of PR perfumes, this is the weakest of all, and I am very dissapointed, because it really smell gorgeous when first sprayed.
Promah1 – :
nice opening, transforms into some sweetly generic vanilla s#it.
Glowworm – :
Underrated in my opinion. Dry down amazing. Also have Caron Pour Un Homme sport and reminds me actually a lot of this one
DuroEnutt – :
Does anyone else get a ‘green shrub’ accord in the drydown? It’s not bad but that how i’d describe it. During the to and middle it feels/smells ashy. Not as in an ‘ash tree’ but like sweet cigar ash..if that makes sense. Feels like it’s the mint. I get a similar slightly brighter/cleaner vibe from Cartier Roadster which also contain this kind of mint.
8/10
grebnev – :
Really interesting smell and definitely unisex! My first thought was that the fragrance was for women, but when the middle notes striked I felt “manly” vibes. I feel this one is for younger men, office, new york manhattanish, day, winter to spring, energetic feeling.
luq297Bessinepome – :
This is what it would smell like, if big red & double mint gum had a chance to make a fragrance.
And this would be it, if only it had cinnamon.
It’s a very nice fragrance.
It’s not a hidden gem, but it’s a frag that needs more light on it.
This can be use anytime and anywhere…But i see this shining more during the late spring and all of summer.
It’s a unique scent, with a one of a kind bottle.
Paco Rabanne was trying to set themselves apart from the other fresh frags and they did. But i see not many people notice this. Which is sad :-(….
I’m happy with my blind buy.
I used six sprays…both wrist, back & front of my neck, chest and front of my shirt.
Will I buy this again?…No.
Does this fragrance enter BEAST MODE, good, just okay or weak sauce at best? BEAST MODE.
What’s the strength of this? EDT.
Am i willing to trade this fragrance? Yes.
Should You Skipped It, Sample It First or Blind Buy It? Sample it.
Can you use it as a unisex scent? No.
Is it the old, new formulation? New.
What’s its availability; in production, limited edition or discontinued? In production.

furman.nik1963 – :
I got it yesterday. Can not understand how come this one does not get the love it deserves.
Beautiful scent.
Of all paco rabanne fragrances for men this one is my favorite.
Ivan94 – :
I absolutely love this fragrance. I do not consider it to be unisex at all, I feel it is quite manly. The mint note is exactly what I have been looking for. Eros smelled too pungent on my skin, roadster smelled like cabbage and a few others didn’t work. The mint is like fresh mint leaf from a plant but also has that uplifting quality similar to Burberry Men. The notes completely contrast each other, the warm amber and the fresh mint, and yet they also work perfectly with each other and make this fragrance very versatile.
I will comment on the bottle tho which feels a bit tacky and I am fairly confident it wouldn’t be too hard pulling the plastic away from the glass bit. I’m personally not too keen on the presentation.

Bottle from – 2016

Occasion -nights out,casual activities,date and clubbing.
Genkurs – :
I like Paco Rabanne and I enjoy futuristic, synthetic sorts of scents, but something about this just doesn’t work for me. The composition as a whole feels kind of flat, and the synthetics here are scratchy and seem to lack polish and finesse–they feel rough on the nose and don’t have a pleasing odor. I get a lot of mint and a sweet amber vanilla for most of its duration, and then some green kind of oakmoss smell in the base. But it’s harsh and lacks definition or any kind of clear intent. I have a feeling this one fell victim to a poor reformulation. I really wanted to like Ultraviolet–as mint is my favorite note in perfume, and I’m a big fan of Paco Rabanne and the really cool bottle this juice is housed in–but unfortunately it just didn’t work out. I’m disappointed that I have to give this a thumbs down, but anything else would be dishonest.
sedandrej – :
Super synthetic as if smelling nylon package, very similar to the women version but less strong and has an under tone of bad breath.. sweet like rotten carmelize peach.. quite avangard to my nose.
IchMaxim – :
Very chemical (as in non-natural in any way) but still nice. However, the longevity is nearly inexistent – it vanishes after an hour or so.
BibeIlluremum – :
Opening reminds me Roma per Uomo by Laura Biagiotti vintage one, dunno about the current one 🙂
Tisglc – :
Ultraviolet smells like the spiritual essensce of polyester fabric.
Whether that’s a positive or a negative is up to you.
Y.Dmitry – :
still like it,still available everywhere,still a lot of men uses it here…but Icant help finding it old fashioned and,above all,very artificial.
MERGEN – :
Some of my friends are adore this juice, for me it’s ok. Suitable Cold fall days and winter seasson.
I’m feeling Warm and pleasant when i wear it.
Good but monotonous scent from first spray to last..
One single level.
About longevity 8+ hours on my skin 8/10
Sillage is close to skin 5/10
Scent 7/10
mmm1976mmm – :
For now is super…soon i will write a review.
pitercelica – :
This perfume is a big disappoint. The smell is great, fresh and cold like a clean soft touch, but too faint and soft, I can barely feel on my skin after 30 minutes, I need to dig my nose to my arm to smell it, so that is the main problem, the longevity is also very poor. I can compare this juice with Carven L’eau intense they have common points, Ultraviolet is more powdery I think, but Carven is stronger and more manly. Remninds me also of Prada and BLV notte pour homme, clean soapy scents, but this smells more aromatic and has a female feature. I can feel mint with a tiny amount of sweetness like in Versace Eros but not as sweet, fresher. Definately smells unisex.
Good smell, terrible performance:(
Williamiszam – :
Personalmente lo ritrovo piatto. Mi spiego meglio nonostante sia un buon profumo da sentire non comprerei mai questo prodotto perchè secondo il mio modesto parere manca di animo. Forti sono le note di muschio ed ambra con cui a ripetizione fuoriescono menta, pepe, vetiver e vaniglia.
Profumo 6.5/10
Sillage 7 / 10
Longevità 7,5 / 10

slobko – :
Bought this blind, and yes it smells great…on a woman! Thankfully the other half likes it so its an early Christmas present for her!
AsLui – :
After 30 minutes I could smell nothing just a plain boring skin scent.
Beessoche – :
No 1 favourite fragrance!!!
Jerrodbfb – :
the moment you spray it on it smells like lemon & pepper which made me question my purchase whether it’s fake or not. as i’m writing this i just sprayed a little more and sprayed from a distance towards my arm and im starting to exploring different notes wait…im starting to like this NICE! look this frag is weird for what it’s worth.
update, i just came back from outside and sprayed a generous amount of it on me both skin and clothes and had to come back to say that this is a room filler! god the projection is awesome i think it’s the most powerful perfume i’ve ever purchased next to boss number one imo.
update #2: you can smell raw vanilla on your arms once it has completely dried down for about an hour-hour and a half.
serega0707 – :
A very sweet fragrance which is more complex and interesting then it’s given credit for. I’ll agree that it’s quite synthetic smelling, but that’s no bad thing here, the mint and amber vibe is actually quite delicious. I am struggling to understand the classification of this as a green fragrance. It seems slightly gourmand somehow. I can’t believe it dates back to 2001, time flies!
goldeneye – :
sweet, warm, a little bit powdery. suit for night time. i used it at day time once, i was sweaty all over, and the green note turned to some annoying smell…maybe only at my skin. still , like it. very long lasting !
serrnikks – :
I Hate all Minty Frags, to me this smells cheap and it belongs to old timers who dont mind smelling like this or young boys in high school who are new to frags and just happy for js owning a bottle.
Кристина – :
The only Paco Rabanne who attract me so far 😀
Osminog – :
Quite a sweet fragrance overall, verging on feminine over masculine but I feel this has a great contrast and would make you come across more unique if you were a manly man wearing this. I’m a 6’8 guy and wearing this definitely is an eyebrow raiser but more in an impressive way, like wearing a pink shirt but having chest hair and a fully fledged lumberjack beard gleaming through!
Nice smell, worth a buy and for the price you can’t go wrong. Unique in it’s own sense, very questionable though and I can see why a lot of people don’t like it.
Юлхан – :
yaz-kış kullanabilecek çok güzel bir parfüm, ilk defa bir parfümden bu kadar övgü aldım. ismini çok soran oldu. fark edilebilirliği çok yüksek. paco yine yaptı yapacağını.

intoxicating
acik – :
This is a synthetic but great fragrance, i love the ambery-oakmossy vibe!
lonshakov3 – :
This is very strange: a Paco Rabanne fragrance that isn’t nauseating.
It’s the exception to the rule: I quiet like it.
Sweet without being overwhelmingly so. 7/10
Neodareoria – :
What can I say? Sweet freshness, I’m a guy and still love sweet scents, if you do too this is a maculine choice and mature with no girly smell at all. First bottle but I’m sure not the last.
G – :
A sweet, woody mature smell.
Reminds me of the original Davidoff’s Silver Shadow.
Good for everyday use.
replicae32150 – :
This is the strangest scent ever for me, that i have! I bought it because a friend of mine smelled me very very nice, and then i asked him what is this smell and he told me it is ultraviolet by paco rabanne! OK i bought it and applied it on my skin and blahhh it smells like… ugh… strange grassy aroma… it was very bad and ugly! I didn’t have the time to wash it off from me and after one or two hours the scent that i liked was there but mixed with the other grassy smell, but it was nice! But overall it is a strange beast this ultraviolet perfume! Probably i will never buy it again, but only time will show. It depends on how many compliments it produces till empty bottle 🙂
6.5/10 for me and is that high because of it’s scent after dried out!
EDIT: After i bough myself Encre Noir it isn’t the strangest scent ever for my and get far more likable for me after the Encre Noir lol
EDIT2: Well it generates lots and lots of compliments… i mean every single man and woman that i met makes a notice about the perfume, and asks me what is it! What the actual… i mean i liked it, but on me i feel it like nothing special but i guess for the others around me it is special, and green and fresh… i’m gonna definitely buy some more of this after my bottle ends!
Also it lasts a lot, but this is not it’s best part… it silage is epic… yesterday i was in a car mechanic shop and one of the mechanics almost immediately asked me what is this nice perfume… in a smelly car shop… wow… car shop that smells hard on gasoline and oil, and smoke the from the fireplace, and the scent prevailed on the other smells… it is awesome and i have no more word for it. Awesome! Also i will edit my score for it, and it is not for how it smells, but it is for everything that it is, and the score is 9/10!
apl666 – :
I bought the cologne for myslef, I thought it smelled rather girly so I gave it to my gf. She flipped out when she was wearing a guys cologne, but quickly got over it. She loves the way it smells on her. She tells me guys compliment her all the time lol
onlinedrugwwasswa – :
This reminds me of David beckham Instinct and one of the Ferrari frags. Not bad but smells kind of cheap. Ultrared is 100 times better
aksir – :
A great fragrance for day or night. Sweet and woody, I recently bought 50ml eau de toilette as part of box set with body wash for £37… Trust me, a classic mainstream fragrance that isn’t worn by many and that doesn’t cost the earth.
alexandersen198989 – :
Really this perfume seems left the future.
Despite this scent already have 15 years, continues to transmit quite a futuristic and modern style.
It is certainly a scent ahead in his time.
With excellent longevity and excellent projection, as is characteristic in all perfumes Paco Rabanne, I highly recommend this perfume to all the innovative men and little conservative.
As always, Paco Rabanne not disappoint, asserting itself as one of the best brands of perfumes in the world.
Anarmollork1995 – :
nice smell. lasts about 5 mins (i think my nostrils may be ruined though by smelling too many perfumes!)
Quinueimmepsy – :
smells like ambergris to me but I can definitely smell the mint. Lovely fresh fragrance.
azerix – :
I very much like sweet scents on men and I think that Ultraviolet is magnificent.
Others may find it chemical or synthetic or cloying… But, oh my, I am a girl that loves this scent on a man. It is so beautifully sweet but, in a macho vanilla/amber way.
Initially, the opening mint note disappointed me, I thought it would be a green, vetiver, minty fresh perfume however, as it started to “open up” the sweetness from the vanilla and the warmth from the amber kicked in and, I fell in love with it.
I believe it is marvelous and still feels very contemporary; it is sensual in a rather non-offensive(not in-your-face sexiness.)
Every time my partner wears this I feel that I want to cuddle him and fall asleep on his neck while inhaling deep long breaths from this lovely scent.
Enjoy the perfume quest.
gerat – :
ok so gotta start this review honestly because paco rabanne xs was the 1st fragrance i ever purcheched back in 2000 so theresalways a part of me that always says go bk to where it al started revile the magic so i did ive bought one million bought black xs bought l’excess bought pretty much every flancker but id never bought uv until today …. because its not really as well known or available here in sunny old england due to it being supposavly being discontiued but i was lucky enough to track this awesome fragrance down so heres the lowdown it opens pretty minty with everything else in the background the spices pepper come threw ones the mint settles its beautiful and well balanced with the amber and vanilla notes it kinda reminds me of joop homme wild if you thew a load of mint over said fragrance it isnt offencive or cloying in anyway and frojects moderatly to well a real hidden and hard to find gem worth every penny a true masterpeice that assures me that mine and pacos relationship will be a happy and wonderful smelling one 5*
zamfff – :
With paco robanne you can never go wrong
emeantn – :
I had this, didnt care too much for it. I told my gf that this was a unisex/ womens perfume and she likes it and wears it.
kr000lik – :
This used to be a super sweet almost gourmand powerbomb. Not it’s minty with undertones of sweetness. Amber and vanilla base keeps it lingering for quite some time. This is a more mature version than the original. The vetiver is more pronounced also. Still a long lasting scent but the sillage is much lower.
fraerVasya – :
i have both the original and the reformulated versions. The original version is much better and longer lasting than the new reformulated ones. They should stick with the original formula
nikta139 – :
Gentle scent of synthetic mint with a bit of vetiver back. Great scent but a bit too poor sillage for a night out.
ilyaguap – :
Highly sweet and synthetic fragrance.
unwearable from my pov. Targeted for very young guys.
hanomag – :
Just tested this and it smell nice,in a way it reminds me of L’eau D’Issey,same vibe.Just the vibe,they don’t smell alike!
It is definitely for spring /autumn and summer nights,it’s airy & light.I dont see how this could be a winter fragrance,it wouldn’t cut it in cold weather.
I mean lots of mint for winter???
Longevity/projection are moderate on my skin,about 4 hours or so.Projects heavy only in the first hour,after it fades away pretty quickly.
I’m just wondering if it was reformulated since many said that it’s longlasting and projects heavy..???
As i said it smells nice but i’m not impressed enough to go buy it anytime soon but you should try it at least!
For now i have my mind set on Versace – Dreamer…
pekar666 – :
I remember trying this when it came out and it obviously never grabbed me because here I am 15 years later giving it a second chance…and it’s not too bad you know?
The first thing that attracted me was the gimmicky and actually quite innovative bottle design. I like it when a vastly different and unconventional sprayer mechanism has been incorporated and that’s exactly what ultraviolet has.
Also, I’m quite cynical usually but the whole Purple being the ‘colour of the age of Aquarius’ and all that is actually right up my street. Fragrances don’t need a concept, inner depth or meaning to exist but I think it’s cool/amusing when they try to!
The juice is fairly ordinary the opening is fresh and green, not minty as such but with the combination of oakmoss giving more of a green feel. Then the amber and vanilla heart give this a different feel again especially compared with those top notes.
It’s dries down like vetiver cleaness vanilla and amber without changing much.
Do I like it?
Well I’m not mad at it…still don’t love it the longevity and projection are mediocre to good.
Only worn it the once but I may well revisit if I can get a another sample.
AlexRys – :
a grate EDT 4 winter , masculine , sophisticated & heavy , the mint , Vetiver & Vanilla works so well together on my skin plus The bottle design deserves attention , it looks like something the perfume bottle would be like in 2070 !
Well done Paco Rabanne , well done indeed !
voenkom000 – :
I saw the commercial for ‘Ultraviolet’ a lot of years ago, and now when I got the cahnce, I finally bought it. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t know how it would smell..
and it’s not nice. It’s very cheap and with a hint of ‘bubbly-soapy’. But fortunately, it doen’t last too long.
artela.m – :
On me it was mostly amber and vanilla. Longevity is really good, but I think it was a bit too sweet for me.
I really like it but prefer to smell it on other people and not on me.
Elizbar – :
Great scent for guys! Can’t describe notes or anything, because I’m writing this only by the memory of the scent. But this was the signature scent of a guy I was in love with once and I remember my knees weakened when I smelt it on him. It’s been many years since I smelled it and that pretty much says it all – you simply can’t forget it after smelling it! This scent is very seductive to me. Don’t know if they produce it anymore, but I loooved it! I miss you in Norway, Ultraviolet!

Koku hakkında çok doğal diyemem. Hatta baştan alışık olmayanlara itici bile geliyor. Fakat biraz alışınca muhteşem bir koku olduğu ortaya çıkıyor. İlk günlerde “keşke yorumlara inanıp denemeden almasaydım” dediğim parfümün şimdi 3. şişesini aldım. 🙂 Tek başına gayet güzel olmasına rağmen pek çok sert parfümü yumuşatıp hafif şekerli hale getirmek için bir kaç fıs yapınca çok güzel oluyor. Genelde parfümleri karıştırmayın denir ancak doğru ve orijinal parfümlerden az sayıda üst üste sıkmak muazzam ve eşsiz kokular yaratabiliyor. Kalıcılığı ortalama, kokusu ortanın üstü olan bu parfümü yaşı 40’ın altında ve özellikle yakışıklı, sportif arkadaşlara şiddetle öneririm. Yazın kullanımı sıkıntı yaratabilir. Yine de denemeden almayın. Hele orjinali dışında internet tester diye satılanları hiç almayın.
Not : Yorumlarımı ve özel mesajlarıma cevaplarımı sadece Türkçe olarak yapacağım. Böylece yabancı dil konusunda sıkıntı yaşayan arkadaşlara gerçekten denediğim parfümlerdeki kendi görüşlerimi paylaşmayı amaçlıyorum.

Ultraviolet
Synthetic? Yes! Generic? Ya ya bla bla! But who cares if this frag is so amazing and smells so nice and modern even after almost 15 years of its initial release! A masterpiece from Paco Rabanne. It is fresh, strong, very masculine yet youthful. Great night time frag and definitely more unique and less common than that other mass pleaser hit from Rabanne…geee, what was the name? …1 trillion or something…:)
A great mix of unusual notes with monster projection and great longevity! Well done PR!
vvv1998 – :
wonderful combination of mint, vanilla, amber n oakmoss,. initial projection is a blast and then it kind of settles down. This is one of those fragrances that makes you want to sniff yourself all the time, it really is special. might be synthetic but who cares when it smells this good. been using this on and off for more than 10 years now. Every time i finish a bottle I always find myself getting another one and i cant say that about too many other fragrances in my wardrobe. This is the perfect night out scent though it is versatile enough to be worn most of the year except maybe in a hot humid summer.This is a Love it or hate it type of frag and I suppose as others have mentioned, this might not suit all skin types…all I know is on me this is the source of compliments galore from the ladies. Thank you Jacques Cavallier for this gem. It’s made more than one night very special. 9/10
Edit- My review is for the vintage version. The current version does not have any oakmoss and smells like violet flavored sugar water. Sigh. IFRA regulations murdered another one of my loves. Get the vintage if you can.
gera.annamail.ru – :
AZ, that is on your skin because on others, smells all day with incredable sillage…i tested it for years, is a magnificent perfume…
irvin12345 – :
It smells nice, smooth and relaxing it very good opening and base but problem is that is there is no sillage and it does not last very long max 1 hr
kesler – :
A friend gave this to me and I was really intrigued by the color and that bottle.
That cool futuristic purple liquid made me think it was going to be an Iris or Lavender composition that was spacey, ethereal and cosmic.
Sadly, it was neither of those, but instead a bit woody and oriental with a strange light mint finish.
So while it was a unique touch adding mint to a sweet/warm fragrance, I can’t get over the packaging vs the actual scent itself. Not only that, while the fragrance is ok, it’s linear, synthetic, juvenile and doesn’t last.
It’s just like the movie “Ultraviolet” with Milla Jovovich, which was a feast for the eyes. Sexy and Dazzling to look at, but with weak acting and a horrible script.

How to describe scent that is rather unique and rare in my opinion? This one is like having a vintage guitar.. While PR-One Million is a song that you hear every day on your local radio station at least 1000,000 times Ultraviolet is a song that makes you smile every time you hear it;but you don’t hear it often enough – so it is still special..

An exotic blend of amber and mint in its opening until all drying.
Becomes a sweet resinous aroma and minty, almost camphor, is a synthetic aroma, seems actually done in the laboratory, but enjoyable.
The fund moss appears that air woody, moist, more classic and light tones of vanilla, a scent unique and under the radar, without a doubt good for those who want to leave the sameness.

Reminds me of Hanae Mori HM EDP (without the lemon). I really like the scent, but the having owned HM for years and loved it, I see no reason to own something so similar. Great fragrance! Definitely recommended, although if you like this scent and feel like you wish there was some citrus to go with it, try HM.
Overall: 8/10

This one is really a strange beast between man perfumes. I wouldn’t classify it as for men use only, rather unisex.
On my skin it’s quite sweet with big amount of mint, amber and vanilla. I think I feel the oakmoss too. I have to admit I really like it, but I don’t have a bottle in my collection, because it lasts very short on me – never more than 4 hours 🙁 However, its projection is quite big, you can say it’s a loud perfume. It fits cold seasons better, I think.
It fits me, because I like “strange” fragrances. The bottle also looks nice.
I heard it’s discontinued, but in my country I can still buy it.
In my opinion this one is better than Black XS and definitely better than 1 Million.
Good job, Mr Cavallier!

My bf’s signature scent.
Definitely can smell the mint and the pepper.
I don’t like the middle notes alone, but it blends really well with the other notes
