The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2004 by Rabanne, Ultraviolet Man Aurore Borealis Edition is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of contrast and depth. The composition opens with vibrant Orange, giving way to Vetiver’s earthy, woody notes in the heart. As it settles, Amber, Musk, Ambergris, and Oakmoss weave together an intricate base that feels both warm and mysterious. This fragrance is a journey through layers of complexity, from its bright citrus top notes to the rich animalic undertones.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance directly to pulse points for the best effect — it blooms slowly over time. Avoid heavy spritzes; the top notes are fleeting, but the base is long-lasting and intense.
