The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2004 by Rabanne, Ultraviolet Aurore Borealis Edition is an Oriental Floral fragrance that balances warmth and freshness with a distinctive blend of notes. The top note of pepper introduces a crisp, spicy edge, while the middle note of osmanthus adds a soft floral sweetness. This composition settles into a base of amber and vanilla, creating a warm, enveloping finish.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to ensure that the pepper note does not overpower. The fragrance builds gradually, with the osmanthus and amber notes becoming more prominent over time. Best for evenings when you want a warm, comforting scent.
