Advantages: fruity, rich, oriental, sensual

Disadvantages: dissapointing staying power

Paco Rabanne ultrared is ultra unique. The packaging consists of a rectangular box, half of which is red and the other half is pink, the bottle is like two half spheres joined together, one is silver and one is red, and the two are joined by a pink rubber strip. Unlike most fragrances this doesn't have a spray dispenser, instead you have to squeeze the bottle to release the perfume, which in my opinion is quite quirky. The fragrance contains the following notes: red currant, wild strawberry, licorice, jasmine, marshmallow, cedar, star anise and vanilla. When sprayed the fruity notes immediately hit you, but then it starts to mellow out and more sophisticated scents come out which are rich. I believe this could be worn both day or night because although fruity, its also oriental and sensual so its a great mixture of scents. A bad thing about this scent is that it has really poor staying power, a couple of sprays will only last between 3-5 hours so you would need to re-apply throughout the day, but the actual perfume has a decent consistency, so its not too wet and nicely settles into the skin. This fragrance is quite expensive, at around £30-40 for a 50 ml bottle and it can be bought at major retail stores such as boots and john lewis and online at amazon and eBay. Overall i would describe this fragrance has being quirky and fruity with a seductive twist.

Summary: This fragrance is a great combination of fruity and oriental scents
