A long shot

The review
Ultraviolet scores 4.9 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Ultraviolet.
The Essence Vault sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Ultraviolet's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 37% less than Ultraviolet — the cheapest of 7 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Essence Vault publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet is bergamot, mint and green notes at first, coriander, amber and woody notes at its heart and vanilla, ambergris and musk at the end. The Essence Vault set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- bergamot
- mint
- green notes
Heart
- coriander
- amber
- woody notes
Base
- vanilla
- ambergris
- musk
Cool mineral freshness over warm amber vanilla, futuristic in a distinctly 1999 way.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
