Rabanne 1995 EDT
Paco
Rabanne Paco is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1995, created by Rosendo Mateu. Paco opens with Lemon, Mandarin, Pine, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Jasmine, Lavender, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean. Rabanne's Paco carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.
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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Best Occasions
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.
Declarable allergens
We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
