Sometimes when we find a fragrance brand we love, we tend to stick to it and there's nothing wrong with that! Our guest blogger, Thom from the talented Manface, loves the Paco Rabanne brand and has reviewed their best selling scents to tell you which fragrance suits which occasion!
Despite having a citrus top, the most prominent notes are amber, leather and cinnamon, creating a deliciously prominent aura of sultry sexiness. It's a gorgeous fragrance and my all-time guilty secret but a word to the wise, don't douse yourself in it; I don't want to taste your fragrance when I'm boogying away (that's right, I boogie!).
This has grown on me and I can really understand why it was one of the best selling fragrances of 2013. It's sexy; really sexy. With fabulous oceanic notes, lemon and bay leaf, it's fresh but still distinctively Paco Rabanne with a definite sweetness. After showering from a hard workout, Invictus energises and compliments the pump; leave the gym feeling confident and upbeat.
This has to be my favourite of the Paco Rabanne family. It's reminiscent of a strong, sophisticated and mature mediterranean man. This fragrance means business. Launched in 1973, Paco Rabanne Pour Homme is loaded with Oakmoss, Lavender, Honey, Clary Sage and Geranium. I wear this for meetings and business lunches, it oozes sophistication, experience and if good business could be a fragrance ' this'd be it!
This enticing, seductive and warming fragrance is the latest edition to the Pacco Rabanne family. With rum, cashmere wood, labdanum, wormwood and juniper, it almost sits in the Thierry Mugler ballpark, but less heady and booming. It's a little sweet but unquestionably masculine and be sure to use only a little as it's very long lasting and throws quite a distance. Wearing this for a date will be sure to make an impact and who knows, if she opts for the Paco Rabanne Black XS Potion for Her, maybe it's meant to be?
This definitely breaks the mould as far as Paco Rabanne fragrances go, with bizarre and seductive grey amber as well as mint, oak moss, vetiver and vanilla. It's probably a little heavy to wear first thing on a morning for work, but definitely on a day off, evening or special event; no one will recognise it straight away, I guarantee! I've been wearing this for travel and find it comforting and not too heady but distinctive enough to stand out.
