The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2004 by Rabanne, Ultraviolet Liquid Metal for Woman is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance created by perfumer Robert Gonnon. This composition opens with a bright floral burst that transitions into warm spicy and musky notes, grounded by powdery and animalic undertones. The interplay between the crisp florals and the enveloping warmth of spices and woods creates a sense of modern sophistication.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to pulse points; the floral top notes are vibrant but evolve quickly. The musky base unfolds gradually over several hours, so it’s best experienced close to skin rather than from a distance.
