Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ultraviolet Man EDT
This early noughties trailblazer is still turning heads, delivering a unique, synthetic yet captivating blend. While some lament reformulations have dimmed its performance, its fresh-sweet-spicy character remains a cult favourite for its futuristic charm.

Our Verdict - No.109 Ultraviolet EDP
Eden's Ultraviolet dupe keeps the green, minty-oakmoss signature that defines Rabanne's Ultraviolet Man, though it trades some of the original's mysterious sci-fi depth for a simpler, more straightforward fresh-green profile with shorter longevity.
