The story behind the bottle.
Eau Paco Rabanne by Rabanne was launched in 2002 and crafted by perfumer Olivier Cresp. This fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of bergamot and lemon, cutting through the air like a sharp morning light. The heart of lavender and basil adds an aromatic freshness that transitions smoothly into a woody base of vetiver, precious woods, and sandalwood. The composition is both earthy and spicy, with pepper and incense adding depth to the overall profile.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced scent that evolves throughout the day. The citrus notes are particularly bright in the first hour, so they may be best suited for daytime wear.
