Paco Rabanne's Ultraviolet Cologne was developed in 1999 and released in 2001. It is a powerful and provocative scent. This scent was created to be the masculine equivalent of a perfume with the same name. This green and woodsy scent opens with a potent blend of cooling mint and comforting amber. Middle notes of oriental spices, earthy pepper, and woody vetiver bring the scent's spicy, earthy center to the fore as it intensifies. As the fragrance remains on the wearer's skin, the concluding notes of vanilla and oakmoss give it a warmer note.
