Ultrared Paco Rabanne for women

I do have a small bottle (30ml), so if anybody is interested for a swap?

loooove this one.... it is an EL indeed? i was the lucky winner of two bottles, each 50ml for the price of one... i m so happy. ohhh my it IS sooooo delicious. strong sweet marshmellow with hints of licorice and staranise yammm! i think those 3 notes are my all time faves in perfumes ;)
longlasting, great sillage ! really sexy to bite.
reminds me very much indeed of Diesel fuel for life unlimited, one of my other all time fave perfumes - quite the same smell less the marshmellow. great for layering as the staying power of Diesel isn't that good as Ultrared from paco rabanne.
it also reminds me in the drydown of M by Mariah Carey but less smokey. thumbs up anyway!
nb. compared with the Kylie perfume this one is more mature and easy to wear while Kylie's Showtime can easely become overbearing, sickenly sweet and way too girlish. the similarity is obvious of course. i still prefere Ultrared.

I want to update my review - I really really love this fragrance. I love the original Ultraviolet and this does bear some similarities to it. There is no pepper - it's like a sweet and fruity version. Very uplifting and summery yet there is a gourmand sweetness about it that makes it just as a good a choice on a dull, cold and wet December day. Great value, good sillage and longevity too. 8/10 (taken off 2 for the rubbish bottle which is something that bugs me about Ultraviolet as well).

It is not sweet...it is ultra sweet! reminds me of Kylie Minogue Showtime edp- they are very similar , I used to buy Ultrared but then I discovered Kylie and her Showtime and now I bought Kylie. Very similar, longlasting and good value for money .

It's soft and sweet and to me, the rest of the notes play a supporting act to the beautiful licorice/star anise note. I love it! I never quite loved Lolita Lempicka because I found the notes unpredictable on my skin, with my chemistry. I was always finding variations and not always good ones! This, I can enjoy any time when I want to smell licorice.

As others have said, not groundbreaking but lovely, sweet and fresh.

Approximately this is a light version of black XS. This one is a well-blended modern scent. Not too sweet, not overwhelming? and not another common "fruit juice". It's a typical Paco Rabbane scent, so if you like their scents, you will like Ultrared. I think it will be good both for young and mature women.
Black XS is more for evening, Ultrared is a day/office one.

Ganhei um perfume Ultrared Paco Rabanne e simplesmente adorei, pena que não consigo achar para comprá-lo em lugar algum, nem no Duty Free.

Ultrared isn't a masterpiece but I guess creators' intentions wasn't to create such. I suppose they wanted to create a pleasant, sweet scent bringing red and orange to women's mind, very lively and positive. So here it is.

I like it. I like the beginning in red, especially wild strawberries - I can detect them the most. Then marshmallows come and they really resemble true ones. I also can sniff some licorice and wood. The fragrance isn't fully gourmand though and that's great.

The scent starts kinda loud and I have a young woman in my mind, laughing loud, catching every one's attention, she is the type you notice at once. Maybe the scent doesn't have depth like Black XS but it's easier for me to wear.

The beginning is strong and the scent keeps close to skin after that. The scent becomes somehow deeper in base notes but don't expect much depth, it isn't created to give it to you - it's for a wide smile on your face!

Ultrared is also easier to wear than Ultraviolet for me, Ultraviolet had an irriatating note (a bit metallic), I can feel Ultrared is from the same family but it's different. Far better than thin Escada with strawberries!

Bottle - couldn't it be prettier?

It's sweet,that's for sure!But also not that kinda girly scent! The overpowering marshmallow it's balanced by the juicy red currant when you first spray it.Then it blends nice with the jasmine,and it turns into a preety sexy scent that lasts at least 6-8 hours.For me,it's perfect in spring and maybe in the early fall.I honestly like it and will purchase it again!

P.S. I don't think this suits you if you like more fresh and lighter scents...

If you have sweet tooth and love marshmallows then you will probably fall in love with Ultrared. I was definitely captured by this gourmand aromatic fragrance with an interesting composition and upbeat and cheerful character.

The opening is juicy and sweet red currant berries and strawberries. The marshmallow note comes in almost right away. I love marshmallows and they shine in this fragrance. This is the best marshmallow perfume I have tried so far. The licorice and star anise are also quite noticeable but they do not overpower the heart notes. In fact, the whole composition is quite balanced and lovely to wear. The dry down is slightly sweet and light with reminiscence of marshmallows and woods.

My overall score is 7.5/10. I prefer to wear this scent in cold weather when I crave sweets and need comforting scent.

I purchased this perfume without testing it because I was lured by the wild strawberry note. I do not smell the the fresh wild strawberry I expected. I smell an overly sweet sugared piece of strawberry rock candy. It seems to be Magnetism's by Escada younger and immature sister. Magnetism has the basil in it which makes it more spicy and (to me) grown- up. It you like very very sweet fragrances, then try this one.

I tried this one, yesterday, and I liked it, not loved it, but I think I´ts a really pleasant perfume, sharp at the begining but really good after a few minutes, spicy-fruity-sweet, and I have to say thant I´m surprised ´cause on me, it´s suuuuuper long lasting, about 14 hrs! I give it 8/10

i love the star anise so much in this one! it makes it so fresh... yes smells fruity and fresh, absolutely adorable!

I bought it yesterday..yummmmmm...it´s a great gourmand, the strawberries are perfect...then the licorice and marshmallow step in. It has great lasting power...all day! It's winter here and it's perfect for anyone. 5 stars!!!!

A very-berry scent which is not bubble gum-ish at all!
Berries, marshmallow, anise and licorice are really well blended and yummy here, yet this is not a girly gourmant fragrance. The jasmine is subtle and makes it enough feminine, while the cedar makes it enough fresh to be worn on summer. It seems that Ultrared was made to be a daring, audacious, provocative scent, and the nose behind it has really done a good work. Overall it´s still yummy, delicious and mouthwatering.

Red berryes , sweet, light girly . the anise and liquerice is there but there is no depth to it . just sweet. i had such hay hopes for this perfume but this is to week and to much red berry plain perfume.
this to me resambles the first perfume a littole girl can get . red berrys . and sweetnes :)
good for the young ones id say:)

Sadly, this is just not what I was expecting. Berries, marshmallow, and licorice.... yum, right? Not so much here. On my skin, this is not sweet, and very far from fruity - it is more floral and sharp. When I first sprayed it I was horrified to be surrounded by the scent of freesia because it is not listed as a note, and it tends to give me a terrible headache. But it might just be a combination that mirrors freesia, because it is not causing a headache. Still, I was expecting a juicy berry opening, and a sweetened vanilla licorice dry down - something fun and delicious. This is definitely not that. I just keep smelling freesia through the whole dry down.
This was not a very successful blind buy. It didn't live up to fruity/sweet expectations. As for longevity - three hours and going strong. Sillage is respectable.
EDIT: Okay. I've tried this again now. It is the middle of winter(I bought this in summer), and I'd have to say, I notice a difference. I still don't find this fruity at all. It still emits a floral freesia essense, but somehow now I really can smell the marshmallow also. And I do smell licorice, but it is not candylike at all it is raw and rooty. I can tolerate it, but it still smells a bit off. A bit like a paper bag stuffed with marshmallows? I don't know.

Just bougt it online, a bit disappointed, I love gourmand fruity but the strawberry note in this one is quite faint, not sweet or gourmand at all, I think its more of licorice, star anise on a slight base of dark berry. Its ordinary and doesnt last long, I do regret

Why do I smell something spicy at first? This only happens when I try it on me, whereas on the blotter it smells sweet and yummy.

I love it ! when I smell it I'm thinking about Cristobal - Balenciaga first, and then Organza - Givenchy, and Lolita Lempicka Le 1er Parfum at the end. It's strange but it's like a mix of these three fragrances, even if the notes are different. It's sweet and fresh at the same time, for young women who love to seduce people. It's so lovely, I think this one will be one of my favourite ! And it lasts all day long.

I normally stay away from fruity fragrances but this is delicious, especially in the beginning. It's a gorgeous berry scent with a bit of depth to it as well. The dry down is not fluffy but rather dark. I really like it for the first hour or so. Then perhaps the anise is a bit too much, it gets quite spicy but I still like it. Lasts quite long on me.

god!i just finished a bottle of this one!it's gorgeous!

I am really glad that so many people like this fragrance, but at the same time I am sad because I can not like it. It is too sweet for me... I can not distinguish the strawberries, berries, for me is just a kind of sickening sweetness that makes it a bit overpowering.

I have like more than 100 different perfumes, that i like and love and hate (I'm a perfume freak) but whenever I wear this fragrance it transfers me to another mood, it makes me feel happy, released from stress, playful and sexy, very feminine and yet girly. to me it describes like the perfect woman ( that's what my fiance keeps telling me whenever I wear this perfume). it is suitable for every woman's age , cuz my mom also like's to wear it a lot ( she is in her 50's) and my grandma too(in her 70's) and they get compliments also when they wear it. to me it's like the best perfume ever made, and best perfume of all time.

I decided to add a proper review as I have worn Ultrared for the past 5 days and it is a really enchanting fragrance.
I used a proper amount of this perfume this morning (as usual about 15 sprays) and I was surrounded by red berries and pink candy floss straight away.
The sweet dark pink berry scent lasted for about 2 hours before the anise joined the candy floss (they say it is marshmallow).
The liquorice is not really there (I wish it was stronger!) but the anise does its job very well and becomes exactly one third of the composition.
Now, ten hours later, I mainly smell anise with a light hint of vanilla and the last remains of the marshmallow which means the base it quite sweet!
The berries were gone by noon but I am surprised that Ultrared stayed on my skin for the whole day!
If I had been to work today I would have used 2 sprays as soon as I had gotten to work and another 5 to 10 after lunch to make sure people who get close to me would smell it.
I doubt that someone who is not really close to me would be able to smell my perfume or if I wore any at all as Ultrared stays close to the skin.
The lasting power is immense, though!

i only got to try out this little gem for the first time yesterday and im so glad i did. its a very fruity and addictive. it instantly cheered me up on a dull rainy day. very sunny smelling strawberries and lush fruits throughout hinted at a light touch of candyfloss. must go and purchase!

I have never seen this perfume anywhere until it landed on Debenham's sale shelf.
Ultrared is a gorgeous feminine, sweet, berryish scent with a hint of candy floss.
I bought 6 bottles and use it regularly.
Lovely scent.

A sweet fruity concoction, perfect for fresh spring days and warm summer evenings.

Initial spritz reveals strawberry and red berries, bitter, tart and zesty.
Marshmallow (candy-kind) and liqcorice creep in to mellow the tartness and add a good dose of edible sweetness.

The dry-down is my favorite stage of this fragrance, smooth vanilla and woodsy cedar compliment the top and mid-notes, creating an all-round pleasant fragrance, perfect for fruity gourmand lovers.
This to my nose is a more mature fruity scent, but good for all age groups.

Smells really nice and a delicous sweet smell,i smelled it this summer and really want it.It is a smell that makes you happy and bubbly

wow! this reminds me of insolence but with a bit more pop! it's not as dusty as insolence, it's more fruity and I can really pick up on the anise and licorice witch makes this frag super sweet. Also Ultrared is more peppery to me. Love this scent allot because insolence is what I wore for my wedding, but sadly there was a note I just couldn't take in it, so I ended up giving it to my mom. This one is way more my style because it is kind of a gourmand and sweet. I'm really glad I came across it.

love it! very sweet...unfortunately not too long lasting

It's not great fragrance but it's a good one, not confusing, very str8forward, happy, enjoyable...

It sounds interesting: wild strawberry and marshmallow...hmmm, but I hate licorice, do you notice it in this fragrance? I haven´t got possibility to test it - just buy it so I need some advice. thanks:-*

I bough it unsniffed, and I do not regret at all! In fact I love this fragrance…
Usually I am more into strong, woody/oriental or floriental perfumes, this one is more floral-fruity-gourmand and still makes me feel…WOOW..
It is like ultraviolet perfume mixed with strawberry/cherry ice-cream,…
YUMMY…

it's really sweet at the first sniff that I thought there must be Chocolate over there.
the second sense I got was strawberry I found it very mild & romantic.marshmallow has made it this way and it's not bad.
reminds me a bit nina or pretty nina.although it means to be very modern I find it more likely romantic and of course girly.

Very sweet and red- berries smells like a coctail drink.
Long lasting fragrance, but in my opinion too much for summer. It can be perfect for winter, gives you happyness and balance.

I like this frangrance. I would call it Very-Berry. I didn't notice much vanilla in it (which is good for me).
I liked to wear it this summer, but will not buy again when it's gone...
I still like Ultraviolet Colors of Summer muuuuch better.

This is a great perfume for me. Just the kind I like - fruity and sweet. Almost like a strawberry candy.

Pretty nice. Not my favorite, but I would wear it. I agree that it is a good fragrance for the spring.

Its a lovely fruit- fragrance, not too long-lasting...its ideal for spring.

Its nice but not unique, it smelles almost the same like L'occitane honey & milk. And its not for summer i think its not light enough for a summer fragrance
