Launched in 1979, Metal by Rabanne is a Chypre Floral fragrance that embodies the brand's commitment to bold and modern scents. Perfumer Robert Gonnon crafted this composition around aldehydes and green notes, creating an opening that feels fresh and crisp. The heart of hiacynth, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley adds a floral warmth, while vetiver and oakmoss ground the scent with earthy undertones. Metal is neither strictly feminine nor masculine, making it an unisex choice that stands out for its innovative blend.

Application Tips
Metal has a strong opening that fades into its floral heart after about an hour. Apply two sprays to ensure you get both the initial freshness and the lingering warmth of the base notes. It pairs well with cooler weather but can be worn year-round, especially in less humid environments.

The story behind the bottle.
The crisp air of a city park in early spring, where the scent of fresh-cut grass mingles with blooming flowers and the subtle hint of wood smoke from a nearby grill.
