  I expected more from this perfume; One Million was the sensation of the moment but this has nothing to do with it.

  When you see Olivier Cresp’s work you can tell he’s a nose who knows how to craft excellent fresh fragrances. To his credit are Dior Dune Eau Parfumée Versace Man Eau Fraîche Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue for women and L’Eau Par Kenzo for both men and women. Paco Rabanne Pour Homme starts with a citrus burst where bergamot takes the lead over orange blossom and lemon. The other main player is lavender its only similarity to Paco Rabanne Pour Homme. The lavender lingers until the heart notes emerge where basil and vetiver stand out. For the dry down the vetiver blends with musk along with the listed woods and a hint of incense. It’s a green herbal fragrance. If you don’t like this genre stay away. Due to its herbal character one might think of Cartier Roadster or YSL Live Jazz though I maintain they don’t resemble Eau Pour Homme. Recommended for audiences over 25 it stands out for its uniqueness. There’s not much else like it on the market. Also I believe it’s been discontinued. It’s a fragrance with its own merits setting itself apart from the current Paco Rabanne trend where One Million and Black XS are the ones setting the pace.

  It’s a fresh, energizing, and seductive perfume that projects quite a bit of bergamot, vetiver, lemon, and lavender. It’s very versatile: you can wear it to work, a party, or a romantic date, and it works for any season of the year. One of the best Paco Rabanne has ever released, too bad it’s discontinued, though you can still find it on eBay. Longevity is 7 hours, projection is 2 hours. I give it an 8/10.

  The scent of Eau de Paco Rabanne reminds me of that lovely Duncan Dhu song, ‘Garden of Roses,’ which was a cover of Lynn Anderson’s country hit. While they sang with youthful romance, ‘Tell me your name, and I’ll make you the owner of a garden of roses,’ Lynn’s original lyrics were quite different: ‘I beg your pardon, I never promised you a garden of roses.’ It’s funny how a song changes the vibe with just a simple tweak; in this case, we forgive the 80s version for preferring the youthful and springy feel, because Eau de Paco Rabanne is exactly that. Anyone expecting to find a faint resemblance to the aromatic fern of the original 1975 legend—the wild, damp forest—will be disappointed. Eau is completely different; if anything, it has a very slight, pinched herbal memory, but its main reference is L’Eau d’Issey Miyake for Men. Even the name feels like a tribute. But the vibe is very similar: those sensations of a zen pond with bitter lemons submerged in water. Now, Eau de Paco Rabanne doesn’t stop there: it adds a good dose of green to this minimalist backdrop from the very first spray. It’s an acidic, sparkling, effervescent green (feels like 7-Up), very fresh and energetic, mixed with caffeine and ephedrine. It brings back memories of Tsar or Live Jazz: those bracing herbs that lift the spirit, almost like a balm to start the day at 100% and ready to take on the world. It’s as if Olivier Cresp, after trying Issey’s star scent, thought, ‘Not bad, but it would be better with a few changes,’ and got to work. Eau de Paco Rabanne seems to be the result of that imaginary tweak. All its electric notes rest on a base of soft woods, perfectly embedded in oakmoss, which rounds off the edges and adds volume. It could pass as a cool summer freshie, but it also boasts better longevity than this type of fragrance, making it optimal for any season or situation that calls for a good mood.

  Paco Rabanne Eau is super fresh packed with basil and a citrus effervescence that reminds me of a mojito. It’s quite similar to L’Eau d’Issey but with more woody notes and above all that lavender that makes it unique. It radiates calm and peace. Honestly I don’t understand why they discontinued it; it’s for a man with personality who loves the beach. The ingredients are extremely natural though it lasts about 6-7 hours with a nice trail. It’s still available at a good price and honestly it’s a great candidate for summer fragrance. Versatile sensual and without those ambroxan iso E or cloying notes that are so annoying.

  To me, it’s a modern, lighter take on the original. It opens with citrus freshness and orange blossom, giving it a slightly fruity touch. Then, white pepper and vetiver add a pleasant spicy kick. It’s fascinating how this style bridges the gap with its older sibling, where rosemary and lavender set the rhythm. In the classic, that persistent, soapy note is obvious, but here the fragrance feels softer and saltier with floral nuances. Anyone who knows both will get what I mean. It’s well-constructed, a splendid and refined scent, perfectly carved. It feels like Olivier Cresp managed to capture the light and atmosphere of a hot summer afternoon and bottle it in a fresh, ice-cold glass. All in all, a perfect independent interpretation for when the temperatures rise.
