Rabanne Ultraviolet Man Aurore Borealis Edition is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2004. Ultraviolet Man Aurore Borealis Edition settles into a heart of Orange and Vetiver, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Oakmoss, and Ambergris. Rabanne's Ultraviolet Man Aurore Borealis Edition carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This flanker didn't quite hit the mark for Rabanne. If you're after a strong, long-lasting citrus hit, you'll probably like it, but don't expect a complex evolution - it's pretty one-note and divisive.

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 Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate performance and dominant fresh citrus make it suitable for casual wear and active days, but it lacks the depth for formal events or romantic evenings. The strong, linear citrus might be too much for some office environments.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Limonene from Orange
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

About

Opens with a sharp, almost overwhelming burst of orange that dominates the entire experience. This citrus zing is quickly joined by an earthy vetiver, adding a touch of green to the bright top. As it dries down, a subtle foundation of musk, amber, and oakmoss tries to peek through, offering a slightly more grounded, albeit faint, warmth.
