The first sip of a freshly pressed berry smoothie, where the initial burst of fruit meets the lingering floral notes of osmanthus and peony.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2002, Ultraviolet Aquatic Plastic by Rabanne is a Chypre Fruity fragrance crafted by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. The composition opens with pimento and raspberry, offering a burst of freshness that transitions into the floral heart notes of orange blossom, osmanthus, and peony. These floral accords are then grounded by a warm musky base with hints of blackberry, creating an intriguing contrast between fruity zest and subtle spiciness.

How to wear it

Ultraviolet Aquatic Plastic is best enjoyed close to skin due to its fresh and fruity top notes that dissipate quickly. Apply two sprays for a balanced experience, allowing the warm musk and spicy base to come through as the day progresses.
