Paco

Greetings everyone, I would like to share my positive experience with Paco Rabanne Paco. Its a great fresh Citrus, Pine and Tonka (together with some other elements) frag. Simply put its very good, though not for everyone. Surprisingly, for around 20eur in Europe you can still get a powerhouse frag, amazing. The projection is between Moderate and Heavy, for me leaning on a heavy side. Longevity is amazing. I was out in a city with my friends and used it on Friday. And after about 10 days I picked up my sweater and could smell it! And it smelled really good and fresh! I personally do not like spending too much money on fragrances, but I think I got more than what I bargained for. In a nowadays frag world of Vanilla/Tabacco/Ocean smells, this big boy brings the juice back! It teleports somewhere Clean, Green, Fresh. Its amazing how Fresh, Clean and at the same time Forest-alike this fragrance is. People keep saying that smells, fragrances can invoke emotions and desires. This one urges me to explore, go into the wild, though does not turn me into a lumberjack. Powerhouse frag from the past, reinvented for the present. I love it more and more. Verdict: 9/10 - Its a bargain for a price. Give it a go if you have a chance! Projection/Sillage - Heavy. Longevity - Long Lasting for sure. PS. If you enjoy slightly old-school frags, you could look into quorum by antonio puig, it has some of the notes found in this fragrance.

Update: 2017.01.3 I have been using this perfume for over half a year and I must say I LOVE IT. The longevity and projection is top notch. It is very fresh. Frankly speaking this perfume is a power house. It took some time for it to grow on me, but I must say - this is a great scent. I am still surprised about the price. Believe me, this perfume smells and kicks a lot more powerful than any other perfume in its price range. 20 eur in europe for a 100ml bottle is a bargain for this powerhouse. I am not sure how, I am not sure why... but this is a hidden gem. I am also considering buying a second bottle just to have it in my wardrobe. When I am thinking about this perfume I always imagine it as a fusion of 2 smells I like (but not love per sei) Clinique happy man and Quorum by Puig In my opinion it takes the best from both, and turns it into something contemporary, powerful, but not nauseating. I will be buying more for sure. Surprisingly it is almost my signature scent, a daily jack of all trades type. Do not let some comments fool you, if you enjoy clean and crisp scents - you will enjoy it. Good luck, AJ

Years ago, when I was still in primary school, my father brought me this fragrance back from a trip abroad, and it was the very first perfume I ever owned. Back then, the whole bottle was a large metal cylinder, and it looked undeniably cool (now about 70% of it is black plastic). I loved the scent so much that, after finishing the bottle, I spent years trying desperately to find it again and never could — until I eventually travelled abroad myself and came across it in a duty-free shop. They might as well rename it Paco Duty Free Limited Edition, lol. It has been a few years since I found it again, but only now did it occur to me to leave a review. I still absolutely love the scent, and it has lost nothing in terms of formulation over the years. Its only real drawback is that it definitely is not a performance beast.

P-A-C-O! 1995: In mid 90ies fashion Rabanne launches his first unisex fragrance to commercial success. After the successful CK "One" and "Be" it was only a question of time that others followed suit. I loved the scent when I bought it in 1997 as I was young, the world was a better place and I was a young student travelling about. The scent is somewhat feminine to me and apart from the many igredients of citrus, I perceive it to smell of tulips...and I love tulips. If this scent had a colour, I'd have to be dark yellow, marigold, safrane, orange. Very happy and joyous fragrance that would please any young and agile person of a sporty intellect. Love the packaging: finally someone aware of the environment!!

My number 1 fragrance, it feels so great when sprayed after a cold shower, refreshing, happiness bringer, recommended seasons: spring or summers, preferably during day time (although I wear it all times and seasons). It might last from 3 up to 4 hours. It leaves a pleasant vibe afterwards which comes and goes. The people around will definitely enjoy staying nearby (; Style: Casual, sport, summer-wear.(To Avoid: Classic, hip-hop, Denime) Music: Light-techno, fast Rn'b, and Pop. Demographic: 15-48, Unisex. Mood: 67-100% happiness (might bring confidence, but turns off charisma). Note: You should keep it as one of essentials on your perfume-shelf
