The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2005, Ultraviolet Fluoressence for Men by Rabanne is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that blends soft spiciness with fresh aromatic notes. The composition opens with star anise and mint, creating a vibrant and energizing top layer. This freshness gives way to the warmth of coriander and grapefruit in the heart, before settling into a base of oakmoss and amber that adds depth and earthy richness. It is a fragrance designed for those who appreciate a dynamic interplay between brightness and warmth.
Apply one or two sprays — the star anise and mint top notes are bright but fade within a couple of hours. The coriander and grapefruit heart then takes over for several more hours, while the oakmoss and amber base ensures that it stays close to skin rather than projecting widely.
