Eau de Paco Rabanne


I really enjoy this cologne. It's like a lightened regular Paco Rabanne Pour Homme with a layer of aquatic freshness and some sandalwood in the base. It starts out with a citrus and flowery opening which includes quite an aquatic note, lavender and possibly some lemon and neroli. It has a fresh yet complex feeling to it that is a bit perfumey but not overbearing. The middle notes are floral with a continuing lavender presence and some kind of herb, perhaps basil. The base is quite balsamic, with a smooth sandalwood and a very light frankincense note.

This is a well constructed fragrance that gives an overall impression of cleanliness and freshness with undertones of floral complexity and sandalwood richness. Good for both casual and formal occasions and different from the standard aquatic fragrances due to its herby nature.
