I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find it anywhere. The answer is simply: temporarily out of stock.
Unfortunately, it’s not just temporarily out of stock; I believe it’s discontinued… The best fragrance from Paco Rabanne, without a doubt, for me… I had it and enjoyed it like no one else, on nights out, leaving a wonderful trail, caramelized and citrusy at the same time. 100% gourmand. A true gem that will be remembered forever.
First, let me tell you how I got it. A perfumery in my neighborhood, open for two years, quite hidden, so I’d never seen it before. I went in for the first time a month ago; they don’t have testers or vials, but they do have some fragrances you can’t find in typical stores. I looked around and suddenly I saw the Ultrared box, 50ml, unopened with its original cellophane. I grabbed the box like a possessed person. Haha, knowing this is worth gold online. What was the price? 30€ (33 dollars), incredible. I paid quickly before they regretted selling it at that price. After paying, I asked the seller how she had that fragrance without selling it. After checking her website, she realized they hadn’t advertised it (logical, or it would have sold the same day). The best part: the perfumery has been open for two years, and this box of Ultrared had been on the shelf since day one. Miracles still exist! The fragrance itself: sometimes when you find something you know is discontinued and hard to get or expensive, like Ultrared, Envy, Magnetism, and others, you set very high expectations, as if difficulty equaled excellence, as if everything we struggle to obtain is better or higher quality, but one must be objective; I at least try. For example, when I got Envy, I liked it a lot, but it doesn’t seem like the best in the world. There are current fragrances I like more. Ultrared is a very good gourmand and I like it a lot, very similar in its opening to its female counterpart, which I gifted my wife some time ago. You shouldn’t apply it excessively, as the opening is intense and can be overwhelming; the best part is the dry down, as other reviewers say, it’s sweet, citrusy, and caramelized. A pleasure for the nose. The longevity is moderate, as is the trail, except for the first hour which is quite heavy. It’s better than many gourmands I’ve tried, but for me, the best remains Animal Animal. It’s an excellent purchase if you like the style, but not worth paying what they ask elsewhere.
Great fragrance! <3. It has some resemblance to Ultra Zest by Thierry Mugler, which is obvious since they share many notes like orange, patchouli, and tonka bean. Honestly, I don't know why Paco Rabanne decided to discontinue great fragrances like this and Black XS L'Excess, dedicating themselves instead to making flankers of One Million and Invictus.
I don’t understand Paco Rabanne. They discontinued this fragrance when it was a masterpiece to wear. One of those perfumes that stood out from other gourmands thanks to that incredibly tasty and energizing orange juice note. It was putting it on and feeling a dose of optimism seep into your very soul. Plus, it had more than acceptable longevity and projection. It was a sensual and erotic fragrance. Instead of making flankers and more mediocre flankers of One Million and Invictus, they could have taken the detail to bring it back so we could enjoy it. It was a more than acceptable fragrance.
Ultrared is, in my opinion, one of the best gourmands, alongside A Men and Animale Animale. It opens with an exquisite blood orange note that becomes caramelized over time thanks to the praline. In the dry down, the vanilla is clearly felt, but always accompanied by that caramelized scent. It has excellent trail and good longevity. It’s ideal for going dancing in winter; it overpowers other perfumes and you’ll surely catch attention. I have a bottle that’s 70% full and I treat it like gold since it’s been discontinued for years. What a pity that Paco Rabanne pulls gems like this from the market and releases 800 identical One Million flankers instead.
Like in a prestige game, from Bofifa’s magic hat comes this Ultrared Men, and a sample ends up in my hands (thanks, friend). It’s a striking, sweet scent, ideal for young men in age or heart, for going out partying wrapped in an extremely pleasant gourmand cloud. Simple but very delicious, I like it more than its sibling Ultraviolet, which I’ve tried several times but never quite got the hang of. Citrus, vanilla, wood, and praline are the notes I appreciate most, suitable for mild and fresh days. Longevity isn’t bad, with a medium trail for the first hour, then it fades a bit but remains noticeable. Definitely a good perfume; if you like gourmands, it will be a great addition to your collection if you can find it.
One of my tattoos is a scorpion. People ask why, and I say it’s nothing, but it’s both true and a lie at the same time. Sometimes we feel that way, perhaps due to strange emotional conditioning or my relationship with chemistry. As Bret Easton Ellis said: ‘people scare me.’ I’m not scared, I’m friendly, but I am scared of the mark I leave. I feel like an emotional punching bag, yet also like someone who can sting without meaning to, like a scorpion, and cause harm. In my relationships there’s no middle ground: either I get hurt or they do, and the second option is terrible with so much empathy. What does this have to do with Ultrared? I identify dangerous accents between a sweet, delicious, and noisy cloud (the one that inspired One Million), attractive and magnetic. There’s rarefied vanilla in generous doses, with dessert-like finishes. But also blood orange, citrus, pulsing, full of veins like a keloid, poisoning that tender dessert, like in the Nightmare on Elm Street scene where the playground becomes terrifying. I like this contrast. It seems original to me, maybe too much, and that’s why Ultrared lasted two news cycles. Closer to niche than tradition, in 2008 there was nothing like it. It was the salvo against the gourmand bombardment that followed. A gourmand like never before: greedy, idyllic, with bitter notes hidden behind its skin, like a werewolf.
I tried it blind and it reminded me of Ultra Zest; I’m not the only one. It has that typical sweet patchouli from Mugler with an orange twist. It’s stylish and has great longevity.
It’s a great perfume. I own many, but this is the one that gets compliments. The orange, vanilla, and patchouli are very noticeable and perfectly balanced. It works great in cold weather and even in spring, though obviously not in extreme heat.
Re-evaluating: it opens with strong blood orange that lasts the entire olfactory life, it simply calms down when the gourmand notes appear (praline, caramel, vanilla). It’s a soft gourmand and the citrus allows you to wear it on a summer night. It’s very sweet but pleasant. What good vibes! What a return to sales! Don’t pay a fortune for Ultra Zest, this one is better.
By god, what a beautiful perfume, you grab the One Million and add lots of well-ripe fruits and you get this exquisite scent. Projects for about 4 hours on my skin and lasts 9 hours on the skin, it’s gorgeous.
Amazing perfume, here in Chile there was a limited stock and I didn’t hesitate to buy it, 10 out of 10.
I think it’s an eau de cologne and I suppose this batch comes discounted since it’s a re-release. I notice the sweetness of the blood orange, but the fresh opening feels like strawberry gum. It’s linear in that gummy perception with wearable sweetness, nothing like Joop. It wins at the end when it’s settled. Moderate trail, 3-4 hours duration because it’s surely been reformulated (we over-apply and then what). On paper it lasts all day sticking your nose to it and on clothes 5-6 hours. Versatility and season: closet staple and for heat, although I tested it at 10-20 degrees. Would I buy it again? It’s okay but it doesn’t surprise me. Would I recommend it? No. You have to buy it blind on sites like Brasty or Notino.
This perfume would have had overwhelming success with another house and today would be highly sought after; Ultrared was the black sheep of an already discredited collection. Although they smell good, Ultrared and its sister Ultraviolet are among Paco Rabanne’s most undervalued creations. It has a citrus opening with sweetness, but the citrus is already sweet, like sweetened orange juice; the blood orange is very noticeable. It’s accompanied by praline which gives robustness, but the patchouli is noticeable in the background, worked like Thierry Mugler’s: sweet, deep, and adding consistency. Over time, the citrus gets stuck in the sweetness, with the praline, tonka bean, and a toasted nuance to the praline standing out. To me, this part feels a bit heavy and the scent varies little until the end where it becomes creamy thanks to the vanilla. It’s not bad, I didn’t try Ultra Zest to compare, but it’s suitable for lovers of sugary scents looking for something creative and with personality. It has aged well because the market shifted toward sweet and gourmand aromas with good performance. It will dazzle those who find it at a good price, withdrawn since 2008, a victim of the 1 Million dominance. Underrated, it seems the red flankers had better reputations. If you catch it at a good price, you like sweets, and you’re looking for something casual for day or mild night, it’s your workhorse, Paco Rabanne’s red stapler.
The human behavior is striking. When it was discontinued, everyone said: ‘perfume jewel,’ ‘beast bomb,’ ‘hope they bring it back.’ Now that it’s back, people say: ‘generic scent,’ ‘doesn’t project,’ ‘there are better options.’ I think with all discontinued fragrances, that standard is used. Will the same happen with other things?
I like it more than Ultraviolet; it’s not as fresh as they say, to me it feels sweet with a sweet orange base. Although it might seem so, it doesn’t get heavy, it’s easy to wear, and the longevity isn’t bad. The only downside is it’s no longer sold, which is a shame because Ultraviolet is in stores and this one seems much deeper, longer-lasting, and more interesting.
I got it recently and I really like it. Starts with a handful of orange candies (with liquor) that are sweet but smell fresh, accompanied by tonka bean. An hour later, the praline takes the spotlight with a very good balsamic, chocolatey aroma. At 4 hours, there’s a vanilla base with patchouli and a slight kick (like pepper or ginger; I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s that in Ultra Zest). It met my expectations: 4 hours of trail and then skin scent, totaling 8 hours on my skin. The bottle is pretty but the atomizer is disappointing when you press it (common in Paco Rabanne, like with One Million). Recommended if you like wearable gourmands. I see it as youthful but unisex leaning masculine due to the dry down.
Does anyone know if this is 100% discontinued? It used to cost over $300 and now you can find it for $50. Javier Orgaz said Paco Rabanne confirmed via email that it’s not in their catalog. But several YouTubers still have it. Is it a perfect clone? Phantom launched in Latin America before Spain, which made me doubt because as a Spanish brand, it makes sense it would launch in Europe first. Is there a global scammer selling fakes? Do we in our collections have originals or imitations? Will Ultrared be produced again, or are what prestige stores sell as originals fakes, maybe even Paco doesn’t know they’re being distributed this way?
Top fragrance, I grabbed it at a steal of a price and it was a total blind buy success. Starts with a sweet, citrusy blood orange that brings freshness and brightness. Then the orange fades and the almond praline and tonka bean kick in with force. It projects well for a few hours before becoming more intimate and sweet with the vanilla. Lasts 5-6 hours on my skin. Smells distinct and delivers. I see it for fresh spring or autumn days. As it evolves, it smells very similar to Lolita Lempicka (it smells like my girlfriend), so I see it as unisex. Definitely deserves a spot in your collection.
Excellent aroma, niche quality, and for its low price, it’s a 10/10. In summary, it combines vanilla, orange, and chocolate very well, with a soft, powdery sweetness, not invasive or sharp, but warm and cozy. That’s why it’s very versatile, used daily (even at work) and for special occasions. Excellent longevity; on clothes, that soft powdery chocolate-vanilla scent lasts for days. It’s considered unisex, but it has a very slight smoky chocolate touch that makes it a bit more masculine. Totally recommended.
Fresh, sweet, and slightly acidic blood orange. Praliné and vanilla do the rest. Like a Mugler made with Puig’s nocturnal sweets. It gets compliments; if you’re into current non-alcoholic nocturnal gourmands, give it a try, you might find what you’re looking for; it’s cheap and not mass-produced.
Relaxed, cool, youthful, and above all, informal.
I met Ultrared Man by Paco Rabanne thanks to a friend; I think he was the only one in my country who knew it and raved about it. When he tested it one day walking down the street, he went straight to the store to buy it back in 2008/2009. They were asking fortunes for years after its discontinuation, and I was always intrigued. Until 2021 when it appeared at a ridiculous and accessible price. He was so right; the day I tested it, I ran to buy a bottle, and months later I bought a spare one. It’s a gourmand à la A*Men without the nuclear and overwhelming aspect. It opens with almost candied orange and dries down to praliné (chocolate with hazelnuts) plus a patchouli that gives it a sweet bakery base. It lasts wonderfully, 12 hours on clothes and 3 hours on skin, I feel like it radiates a sweet apralinated balm. For mid-seasons and harsh winters; in summer it’s unviable. Informal and youthful, perfect for black Converse, semi-distressed jeans, and a plaid shirt, that late 2000s vibe. It’s in my top 3 of Paco Rabanne, a gem for those with good taste. If they bottled it in a Creed bottle, they’d sell it without raising any suspicions.
What a marvel! For me, it’s one of the best Paco Rabanne scents without even trying others, alongside Invictus, Platinum, Parfum, Elixir, Black XS, and Pure XS. It’s in my top 3; it’s an unknown fragrance and a true delight. Delicious from start to finish: it starts with blood orange and then leaves a praliné, vanilla, patchouli, and tonka bean scent that is absolutely delicious. The orange cuts the cloying sweetness. As it dries down, what I notice most is the praliné and patchouli, though the orange is still there. It has little bursts of Black XS, but it’s not the same; this one is sweeter, though it shares notes. Longevity on skin is massive; with an old batch and 15 sprays, it projects over a meter for more than 5 hours. It’s hard to find, low stock, and discontinued. My rating: Longevity 8, projects over a meter, lasts more than 5 hours with 15 sprays. Only for fall and winter, don’t touch it in the heat, it gets heavy. Close to the skin it lasts longer, but I’m not counting that. Fixation 9, it’s luxury on my skin. Sillage 8, it smells a meter away, great so it’s not heavy, but you need 15 sprays for a powerful trail. Versatility 9, it works for almost anything: dates, casual wear, clubs, to make an impression. Scent 10, it’s a beast, smells powerful, an unknown gem that has become my favorite.
Ultrared by Paco!! I bought it and returned it the next day. It gave me a headache from being so strong. It’s too sweet and heavy, reminding me of the tobacco air freshener in taxis. It doesn’t fit in my collection, of course, respecting everyone else’s tastes.
Exquisite fragrance, gourmand style, summarized as chocolate and orange. The projection and longevity are brutal; I put on 4 sprays and they last over 8 hours. The only downside is the atomizer, it doesn’t convince me—it sprays like a jet stream, but hey, that’s the only thing to mention about this undervalued fragrance.
A hidden gem. Perfect for hitting the party scene 🤙.
A perfume where praliné takes the lead, a sweet and almost edible accord. Naturally seductive, it’s perfect for nights, dates, or going out. It carries that classic Paco DNA with its own unique identity, which nowadays is pure gold when everything smells the same due to Arabic scents or clones.
Rich and super smooth! But I feel like it doesn’t last at all. Did they discontinue it or what? I have a bottle from 2020. It’s strange that the box says ‘Made in France’ but the bottle says ‘Made in Spain’, that’s weird.
As it dries down, it seems more and more similar to Guerlain Homme from 2008 (discontinued). Just for that, it’s worth it.
It smells like a vanilla ice cream melting over an orange one, with caramel everywhere. It has faint creamy vanilla and creamy aromas. It’s a delight if you love sweets, or your partner will love it. In the sun or tropical heat, even if you apply a lot, the sun eventually dries it out and doesn’t let it smell right; it doesn’t damage the sweetness, but it doesn’t project the same way. On clothes, it lasts until the next day or until washing. In the cold, it’s a shotgun: it projects and floods the room. It’s a crazy sweet ideal for dates. I wouldn’t use it for meetings because it’s too strong; it’s perfect for special outings or parties if you want to smell different.
Thanks to the reviews and ratings, I was brave enough to buy it without having heard it, and I must say it was a hit. I found this gem from Paco Rabanne at an incredible price. I understand why it hovers around $300. It’s exquisite, versatile, with the Rabanne DNA: the citrus and praline touch make it for all year and any occasion. It can be your signature, as it makes you stand out anywhere. 10 out of 10.
Look, I’m sad because I can’t use it; I live in a warm climate. In the cold, it’s a shot: you notice all the notes, sometimes the blood orange, other times the chocolate, other times the vanilla. The trail is unique. The vanilla hit is similar to Eros but finer and more enjoyable. It smells like a decent poker player, elegant and well-mannered. It’s a mix of elegance and party that isn’t defined by one or the other; if you use it in a context without connecting it, it loses its essence. It’s perfect for elegant parties. Too bad that in the heat, performance drops and delicate notes like the blood orange and vanilla trail are lost. In the cold, it’s a 10/10.
Batch 2020. The first thing that came to mind was the Black XS from the same creator as the first bottles from 2008, which I own. At first, it smells young, citrusy, and sweet. I’ll edit later on performance and other details.
A powerhouse for cold autumn and harsh winter. It’s excellent in every way; I already have my third bottle. It opens with a juicy candied orange that explodes with sweetness, but fades quickly to make way for praline with moderate tonka bean—the best phase that projects and attracts compliments thanks to the acidity of the blood orange base. As it dries down, vanilla and patchouli soften the scent, making it cozy and close. It’s a gourmand with everything, with just the right acidity, ideal as a winter signature. Lasts several days on clothes and is very masculine. No doubt I’ll keep using it.
It’s a projection bomb that’s spectacular. The combination of blood orange, praline, and patchouli is incredible. It’s a gem from Rabanne, very good.
ULTRARED MEN is a true beast that goes unnoticed among all the flankers. It smells of almost caramelized orange, with well-contained praline and vanilla balanced by the citrus. The trail is rich, especially on clothes. Ideal for mild weather or winter; it sets you apart from the current sweet trends. Good performance, not a beast. Great perfume.
Rabanne’s Ultrared smells of caramelized blood orange mixing with praline, creating a perfect balance between citrus and sweet.
I tried it on a decant and it smells like an updated Le Male: less 90s vintage, more avo-vanilla and fresh, but keeping the vibe. I loved it, but with so many similar options, I’m not sure I’d take it home.
