In 1996, Paco Rabanne decided to create a fragrance in his own image. In fact, he even gave it his name: Paco. With its avant-garde, highly metallic look, it instinctively plunges us into the designer's world. A closer look at its floral and aromatic composition, made to energize everyday life.
The modernity of the Paco fragrance
Paco is a particularly daring and highly futuristic fragrance for its time. First of all, it chose to ride the androgynous wave of the 1990s. It is intended for men and women alike, and invites everyone to look beyond appearances. It is both very positive and very much on trend while carrying a strong dose of universality. In the image of Paco Rabanne, Paco was designed to move beyond boundaries and open up new horizons. It does not settle for being at the cutting edge of fashion but seems to want to create new trends instead. With it, Paco Rabanne invites us to explore a New World. This fragrance is far from classic. It carries the impertinence of young men and young women of the 1990s. What is more, it has a certain freshness, a true concentrate of energy that energizes body and mind. In other words, Paco is a fragrance synonymous with modernity. It is at once youthful, accessible, invigorating and highly contemporary. Yet it does not lack generosity, and with a single breath it stirs an enduring passion.
Paco Rabanne's concentrate of energy
Paco is a fresh, floral and aromatic juice. It is a true energy boost to indulge in every day. It blends genres and immediately announces itself with a highly explosive opening. To achieve this, it combines several citrus notes, such as lemon, mandarin, mint leaves and coriander. The whole is very fresh and leaves behind a slightly anise-like scent. Then, Paco becomes more gourmand and fruity. It reveals a soft touch of exoticism in the scent of pineapple. This fruit is paired with the presence of green tea and lavender. This aromatic facet gains in clarity through the floral presence of jasmine and cyclamen. The blend is uncommon, yet perfectly harmonious. Finally, Paco wraps itself in cedar, sandalwood, tonka bean and white musk. The result is a fragrance as soft as a cloud yet very fresh and invigorating. Paco also comes in a decidedly futuristic bottle. Resembling a recycled metal can, it goes straight to the essential, showing a contemporary silhouette. Its cold material is meant to be the perfect echo of all the freshness contained within this bottle. Its name is engraved in relief, and Paco is thus ready to reveal its invigorating breath with a single press on its cap.
