It is not my favorite but I liked it alot. I wish it would last a little longer.

Beautiful fragrance

Upon initial application there was an overwhelming smell of soap. Like actual soap! Definitely not for me. The dry down improved somewhat but I was too overwhelmed by to soap smell to enjoy it. Disappointing.

Long lasting and tolerable.

Ultraviolet by Paco Rabanne is a bold and distinctive fragrance for women, launched in 1999, that captivates with its unique blend of fresh, floral, and warm notes. It opens with the vibrant and spicy aromas of pimento and apricot, transitioning into an exotic heart of Japanese osmanthus, rose, and violet. The base notes of vanilla, amber, and patchouli provide a warm and sensual finish, making it a long-lasting and memorable scent. With strong sillage, Ultraviolet leaves a significant trail, perfect for cooler months or evening wear. Encased in a futuristic purple bottle, this fragrance is ideal for those who seek an unconventional and striking perfume experience.

It smells good just would not be a signature scent

To floral

To much flower smell

I do not like it. Too floral

Love it! It reminds me old times

I loved this for its longevity, it lasted through sleeping. I can smell the following morning after wearing

Liked the smell. Didn't fit my skin. It just wasn't for me.

Amazing

Nice clean, fresh winter fragrance.

Light fragrance that starts off sweet and floral but dries down into a light powdery scent I love.

I love this one! It makes me feel girly and flirty. It’s not too sweet and has a flowery smell.

Not for me. Best way to describe this scent is "old lady perfume" and that's all I can smell.

Very nice soft powdery scent

My absolute favorite!

Rich and warm. More classic. Enjoyed the scent but it stained a tank.

I was excited to try this scent. I was hoping for an old fashioned violet scent. Almost. Very close. A little heavy but still good.

It does smell a little musky, it would be a great scent on a date with your grandparents! LOL I would still wear it, just one squirt though! Jodi

This is one of my all time favorites. I don't get when people say it smells like old lady perfume. What does that even mean? I may be older, but I was in my 30s when I first used this. Its wonderful..

Smells like old people

Smells like grandma perfume

Initially, it's very powdery smelling. It seems to mellow over time but it's not as good as I wanted it to be.

The first notes are too powerful and sting the nose. It was a little better as it wore off but who wants to wait for that

This is a strong feminine floral. It's a very pleasing scent however, I don't care for pure florals on myself. If you like a nice floral scent them you will like this one.

Great smell, lavander. Relaxing

Ultraviolet smells like Alien if Alien didn't punch you repeatedly in the nose. Much softer and more wearable version for me :)

Love this scent. Very floral and clean.

Pleasantly surprised!

Love it!

Meh nothing special, does not last long to really get any idea.

Heavy Floral sent

Super strong scent for me, not soft at all. It remind me of an older lady scent. Strong floral scent.

Too much floral for me

This fragrance was not for me. Smells good but definitely suited for a more "mature" person.

smells like an old person and doesnt last long. kinda smells like baby wipes and a flower mixed together. its not terrible but not good smelling yanno?

I used to ware this perfume several years ago, still my favorite. It is so unique that I can detect if someone wears it. Very deep and sexy. I prefer to wear it in cold weather. Love it!

At first I was intrigued by the unique combination of violet and peppery notes, but an underlying sweetness eventually got on my nerves. This is a remarkably warm fragrance that lasts hours on my skin. I enjoyed it for the month, but I definitely won't need a whole bottle of it.

I'm not a fan of this fragrance. Although I like rose in a fragrance if it's not one of the major scents, the rose in this is very heavy. It reminds me of a scent that would be worn by a very "mature" person. I had to return it. It's very strong and smells cheap.

Not a fan. I had to return it. I’m 39 and thought it smelled too “old” for me. It also smelled cheap. Like something I could buy from Walmart. I chose this bc of the violet which I normally love, but the musk was overwhelming.

Warm, woody floral fragrance. Smells lovely; however, it doesn't last long.

The smell is soft but noticable. Every time I use it I get compliments of how nice it smells.

I think it's quite strong, and far from things I usually like (Insolence, Flower Bomb, La Vie Est Belle etc..). The first fragrance to give me a headache! I think it's very mature, and would smell good on more mature women. I barely smell the violet, and I am a sucker for violet.. I returned, I'm 26 and don't want to smell like old lady. Someone wrote is smells like an 'old bottle', and I can totally relate to that. Like, perfume gone bad almost..

Love it.

I put it on and asked my husband what he thought about my perfume and he said "is that an old bottle of something? It smells old and musty." Lol! It's not terrible and it's definitely growing on me but I don't think I'd chose it again. I also don't feel like it lasts very long.

Very strong grandmother scent, surprisingly the men's version is my # 1 favorite ,I get many compliments and I share with my husband and no one can tell that its gender specific it's more like the most classy delicious scent you will ever smell

Love love it,

Good everyday perfume does smell kinda synthetic. Powdery smells clean. But heavy.

This perfume smells very nice it's just not for me. I was hoping for a bright violet smell that vibes light and airy. That is not this perfume. There is a spiciness that I enjoy but a powdery after note that I do not. It reads a bit "lady of a certain age". Like she goes to quilting circle but reads her Vogue magazine cuz she's there for the gossip not the crafts. :)

I love violets and thought I would love this. I was expecting a modern Alien-esque interpretation of violets. This too me smells very dated and mature. It doesn’t round out well on my skin, just an overpowering floral headache.

On me, this perfume smells nothing as it is described. I do not get notes of pepper or apricot. To me, it smells like a powdery floral--I mostly smell violet and jasmine. It's nice--a romantic, more mature scent than I usually go for, but both my husband and I think it smells pretty good. Two sprays is good for me, and it lasts a decent amount of time. I wish more of the spice scents came through on me, but overall I like it.

This has been my favorite perfume for the past twelve, yes twelve years! I just love it, and everybody asks me what perfume I'm wearing and they say it smells so good!

Very sexy and long lasting.

I bought ultraviloet but it didn't come with the package that come outside the perfume I want ittttttt :(

Where did you get that fabulous description of Ultraviolet? Thank you for it! I always enjoy knowing the notes of my fragrances, and your description was unlike anything I have on record for Ultraviolet. What is your source?

Smells pretty good out of the bottle, kind of a spicy floral. Once it was on me for a while, it stunk though. My body chemistry seems to do best with sweeter scents.

it's a great perfume. I bought it because I tried it once in a perfume shop and after I left, men were just turning their heads all over the place on the street after me. I love it. It's modern, young, fresh and still sexy, and very different from any other scents. If you are a hip, independent but still somewhat flirty chic, and want to get noticed and your scent remembered, definetly try this!

Ultraviolet by Paco Rabanne celebrates the intimacy and reality of a woman's life as she and her those close to her truly live and enjoy it. This is such a feminine lovely gentle fragrance... Filled life life! Ultraviolet is a fresh fragrance has notes of bergamot, chamomile, sage, osmanthus, Bulgarian rose, jasmine, white lily, carnation, freesia, amber, sandalwood and peach. The peach makes it slightly Oriental but it's mostly a very nice floral scent.

Reverie is a nice perfume with a wonderful fragrance, but i can`t find it. Anyone Knows a perfume that smeels identical to Reverie? Tx

PURCHASED FOR MY WIFE... GIVES HER LIFE...... FRAGRANCE ATTRACTS ME...... IT'S ONLY FOR SHE.......

What a great scent, with such a stupid bottle! I feel like I'm holding a burger when I'm spraying myself! Still, that won't stop me because I LOVE Ultraviolet. A sample hooked me and I'm in love. Very different; I like the touch of peppery spice. The body lotion smells predominantly of peppery spice, but then adjusts to more floral notes. I have gotten MANY compliments on this one.

This perfume shouts purples and violets. I see juicy black grapes and blackcurrents with this. Not unfortunately the violet flower which i love. It's fine but already dated i think.

This is a wonderful fragrance created. Very feminine, light and sweet with a touch of elegance. I got a sample of it, to my surprise it smells really nice on me. Has good staying power too.

I bought this perfume thinking that it would smell like "violets" - wrong! If you have ever smelled the violet shampoo from White Rain, now that smells like violet, this perfume smells terrible. This is totally a granny fragrance.

This scent has become part of my identity. So unique and inviting. I feel powerful and confident with ultra violet

the floral & oriental(amber and vanilla) scents are very fantastics and the ending sensation is like and incense,is delicious,wow!!

I have owned Ultra Violet since it came out on 2000; I have over 100 different fragrances, ant this by far, is one of my favorites, it's sweet, floral and powerful; I know that confidence does't come in a bottle, but combined with a power suit, there is no obstacle you can't conquer; this fragrance demands attention, and you'll be sure to obtain it.

This perfumes is "The Buisness" i am soooo pleased with it. Beautiful addictive and not cloying. Thankyou Paco Rabanne!

Lasts forvever!! and gives me confidence! everyone always notices it!! 10 out of 10

I love this perfume, it is really amazing

My boyfriend bought me this perfume for my birthday so i fell inlove with it not just for the smell but for the memory. I wear it every day now and it's grown to be my favourite perfume. It's so different, and that's what i love about it.

sexy fragrance not too strong but has staying power, ultra feminine and wearable to any occasion

i owned this perfume and felt the smell doesnt last very long. It may be a little too flowery otherwise it is pleasant

EVERYTIME I wear Ultraviolet, I am stopped and asked what scent I'm wearing, I try to save it for evenings out and special occasions, it's tough....I LOVE IT!!!

It is really nice, but not so special or unique. It is (for me) something like Gucci-Rush, I mean for teenagers. I like it, but there is nothing great about it. It smells sweet.

lovely

I got a great deal on the EDP and the body cream. This is so different and long lasting! Everything I tried was blah in comparison! If you can only buy one, buy this! Seems to me that you can wear this all year round.

probably the most unique scent i've ever come across. nothing even comes close to smelling like it. delicious. a friend of mine is addicted to it. i used to wear it, but it's not really my style. cause i prefer more 'natural' and fresh fragrances. nice perfume if you want people to ask you what you're wearing.

This is one of those scents that are unique and you can recognize it immidiatly after smelling it on someone. It's simply wonderful!

This is such a great scent - it's sweet, seductive, refreshing, and mysterious at the same time!

I searched for years to find a perfume I liked. This is it. Not too musky, not too flowery. Perfect. I even brought 2 bottles home with me from France in case I couldn't find it here!!

this is so different perfume.it is not a signture perfume but it is great for those special evenings;) u know girls,it worked soooo much

As Amelia said down there it is an "innocently sexy" scent. Perfect description! It is warm, yet subtle and not overpowering, soft, sensual, but not offensive. Very modern - I don't know how to explain it: it is contemporary but not trendy, and unlike the most of other modern orientals. Ultraviolet is not exactly oriental, maybe more in "semi-oriental" family. Nice. They should make nice body-range for it (haven't seen it so far!).

I tried it only once but it certainly did smell synthetic. Reminds me of artificial grape flavour. I'm an oriental/amber fan but this doesn't really smell like one to me. Maybe I should try it again.

I love it very much. It is a very sensual fragrance.

love this perfume. so do my friends...one asked me what perfume i was wearing cause she liked it so much, and the next time i saw her, she had it on! really unique fragrance. scintillating.

i love it!

I am in love with myself with ultra violet on lol! I had some squirted on me around a week ago..I coudn't decide if i like it that much for the fact the lady barely put any on me so I didn't buy from her. went to another store and the lady let me squirt all i wanted on..i walked around with it on in the mall..went running back and bought the BIGGEST bottle!

This is my signature fragrance! Can't get enough of it!

I have been trying to find a fragerance like this for years! It is smooth and demanding. You can't help but be noticed when you wear it. I have had people follow me through malls to find out what it is I'm wearing. Everyone I've met loves it!

Not at all your "typical" fragrance. This was recommended to me because I do not like strong florals and because it softly lingers. I'm told that it has a very well prepared base that allows it linger long after other scents have vanished. It's worth a try if you want something really different.

nothing special and silly bottle.

Really cool bottle, but a boring scent. All I really smell is vanilla and amber, and all kinds of fragrances have those notes.

Wow..this is a very sexy perfume...reminds me of lusty purple, just like it's color.

Found it. Love it. Love you!

I am trying to find something that smells like Metal, does anyone remember that fabulous fragrance?

This smell good, but in a synthetic way. I should say this is a fully 'modern' fragrance. Young. It smell like perfume, like it's sitting on your skin, rather then mingling with your personal chemistry.

Really nice perfume for special occasions!

Ultraviolet is very interesting and very contemporary floriental, sweet, spicy, musky, vanillic scent. Warm and nice for winter, but if you're sensitive to oriental, bit of heavier perfumes - it's not for you. This is not light and delicate fragrance, it's quite heavy and sweet.

This is an overwhelmingly strong and heady scent - the kind that causes headaches to sensitive people - I didn't much care for it.

Ultraviolet is unlike any perfume I've ever used. Light, yet heady. Lingering, yet powerful. It drives my boyfriend crazy. He claims it acts as an aphrodisiac on him! I feel like the ultimate woman when I wear Ultraviolet.

Suggested by the Duty Free lady, looks like it is in a space capsule, smells like nothing else, it is great.

I bought it for the beautiful packaging but the smell is really sexy in a young and innocent way.

It's so powerful and noticable, heartbreaking and longing!!
