About

Ultraviolet Man opens with an intriguing blend of fresh mint and warm amber, an odd couple that somehow just works. This quickly gives way to a vibrant heart of spicy pepper and earthy vetiver, adding a dynamic, almost green depth. The journey concludes on a smooth, slightly powdery base of vanilla and oakmoss, leaving a surprisingly gentle and modern trail for a scent from 2001.
