Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2004, Ultraviolet Liquid Metal for Men by Rabanne is a fragrance that balances freshness and warmth with an aromatic complexity. Perfumer Robert Gonnon crafted this scent around a vibrant mint and mandarin orange opening that contrasts beautifully with the spiciness of coriander. The composition settles into a heart of amber and musk, creating a warm and powdery base that feels both modern and lasting.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The mint and mandarin orange top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow the fragrance to develop on skin for about 15 minutes before reapplying if needed. This scent is best suited for daytime wear due to its fresh and aromatic character.
