Rabanne Ultrared is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. Ultrared opens with Red Currant and Strawberry, settles into a heart of Marshmallow, Jasmine, Star Anise, and Licorice, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Vanilla. Rabanne's Ultrared carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper Marmite scent, isn't it? You'll either adore its sweet, spicy berry twist or find it simply too much. If you're after a loud, playful gourmand that leans into licorice, you might just find your soulmate. For others, it's a 'plastic doll head' disaster.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its prominent sweet and fruity accords, alongside reviews mentioning its notable sillage and longevity, make it ideal for casual and date settings, but potentially too intense for a formal or office environment. The 'loud' and playful character also isn't suited to sport.

About

Ultrared kicks off with a juicy burst of red currant and sweet strawberry, a vibrant, almost tart opening that quickly melts into a soft, powdery heart. Marshmallow and vanilla bring a sugary, comforting warmth, while star anise and licorice weave through, adding an unexpected soft spice and a touch of intrigue. The base settles into a gentle cedar, grounding the playful sweetness without overpowering it.
