Which Should You Buy?
This Y2K classic is divisive by design. Ultraviolet is not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' swear by its unique violet-pepper-apricot blend for a truly unforgettable scent. Just watch out for that dodgy atomizer.
Perfume Parlour's Extreme Purple For Women is built on Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet: a pimento and capsicum opening, a Japanese osmanthus heart, and a base of ambergris and vanilla. A short pyramid, so expect a simpler, cleaner take on the Y2K original.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and longevity make it less suitable for office wear, but perfect for making a statement on a night out or during casual events. While some find it too strong for formal settings, its unique character works well for those wanting to stand out.
Seasons
Vanilla, amber and spice suit cool weather, though the fresh pimento opening keeps it from being too heavy in spring.
Occasions
A warm, slightly spicy floral amber that is best for evenings and dates.
