The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Ultraviolet Fluoressence by Rabanne, launched in 2005, is a soft spicy and oriental floral fragrance that marries the brightness of pink pepper and grapefruit with the warmth of vanilla and sandalwood. The opening notes of pink pepper and pink grapefruit create an immediate freshness, while the heart of lily and osmanthus adds a touch of delicate floral sweetness. The base notes of vanilla and sandalwood provide a comforting and long-lasting finish.

How to wear it

Apply Ultraviolet Fluoressence to your pulse points for a warm, long-lasting effect. The citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so ensure you layer the fragrance to capture its full depth as it evolves throughout the day.
