The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Strong Me by Rabanne, launched in 2019 and crafted by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, is a fragrance that embodies confidence and sophistication. The composition opens with the bold and slightly intoxicating note of liquor, which contrasts beautifully with the sweet plum and metallic notes that follow. At its heart, vanilla and amberwood provide warmth and depth, while davana adds an unexpected complexity. This unisex scent is designed to be both alluring and enduring, making it a perfect choice for those who want to feel strong and grounded throughout their day.

How to wear it

Apply Strong Me to pulse points for maximum impact. The metallic notes are particularly noticeable up close, so this fragrance is best experienced in intimate settings or when you want to feel grounded. Avoid layering it with other strong scents as its complex profile stands out on its own.
