by Rosendo Mateu

Rabanne Paco is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1995, created by Rosendo Mateu. The fragrance opens with Pine, Lemon, Mandarin, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Lavender, Tea, Jasmine, and Cyclamen, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Musk, and Cedar.

Our verdict on Paco: Favourite

Paco is either a fantastic, fresh, underrated gem or an overpowering pine-sol mess, depending on who you ask. Most agree it's a nostalgic, affordable, and surprisingly masculine take on the 90s fresh scent profile, though its performance is often seen as its main drawback.

Its fresh, clean, and often subtle aquatic-citrus nature makes it perfect for casual wear, including the gym, as many reviews suggest. However, its often reported poor longevity and intimate projection means it would be lost in a formal setting, and it might be a bit too 'just showered' for a date.

About

Opens with a sharp, zesty burst of lemon, mandarin, and distinctive pine, giving it an immediately fresh and slightly green edge. This invigorating top soon mellows, as soft lavender and delicate tea notes emerge, woven with a hint of jasmine. The dry down is a comforting, clean blend of warm sandalwood, musk, and a subtle sweetness from tonka bean, underpinned by a woody cedar base.
