I have looked everywhere and cannot find it wherever I search. The answer is simply: temporarily out of stock.
Unfortunately, it is not just temporarily out of stock; I believe it is discontinued… The best fragrance from Paco Rabanne, without a doubt, for me… I had it and enjoyed it like no one else, on nights out, leaving a wonderful trail, caramelised and citrusy at the same time. 100% gourmand. A true jewel that will be remembered forever.
First, let me tell you how I got it. A perfumery in my neighbourhood, opened two years ago, quite hidden, such that I had never seen it before. I entered for the first time a month ago; they have no testers or vials, but some fragrances not found in typical perfumeries. I looked around and suddenly I saw the Ultrared box, 50ml, unopened with its original cellophane. I grabbed the box as if possessed. Hahaha, knowing this is gold on the web. What was the price? 30€ (33 dollars), incredible. I paid quickly before they regretted selling it at that price. After paying, I asked the seller how she had that fragrance without selling it. After checking her website, she realised they hadn’t advertised it (logical, or it would have sold the same day). The best part: the perfumery has been open for two years and this box of Ultrared had been on the shelf since day one. Miracles still exist! The fragrance itself: sometimes when you find something you know is discontinued and difficult or expensive, like Ultrared, Envy, Magnetism, and others, you have very high expectations as if difficulty were synonymous with excellence, as if everything we struggle to obtain is better or higher quality, but one must be objective; I at least try. For example, when I got Envy, I liked it a lot, but it doesn’t seem the best in the world. There are current fragrances I like more. Ultrared is a very good gourmand and I like it a lot, very similar in its opening to its female counterpart, which I gifted to my wife some time ago. One must not apply excessively, as the opening is intense and can be overwhelming; the best is the dry down, as other companions say, it is sweet, citrusy, and caramelised. A pleasure for the nose. Longevity is moderate, as is the trail, except for the first hour which is quite heavy. It is better than many gourmands I have tried, but for me, the best remains Animal Animal. It is an excellent purchase if you like the style, but not to pay what they ask elsewhere.
Very good fragrance! <3. It has some resemblance to Ultra Zest by Thierry Mugler, and it's obvious because they share many notes like orange, patchouli, and tonka bean. Sincerely, I don't know why Paco Rabanne decided to discontinue great fragrances like this and Black XS L'Excess, dedicating themselves instead to making flankers of One Million and Invictus.
I simply do not understand Paco Rabanne. They discontinued this fragrance when it was a marvel to wear. One of those perfumes that stood out from other gourmands thanks to that savoury, energising orange juice note. It was putting it on and having a dose of optimism permeate you from the depths. Moreover, it had acceptable fixation and projection. It was a sensual and erotic fragrance. Instead of making flankers and more mediocre flankers of One Million and Invictus, they could have had the decency to bring it back so we could enjoy it. It was a more than acceptable fragrance.
Ultrared is, in my opinion, one of the best gourmands, alongside A Men and Animale Animale. It opens with an exquisite blood orange note that becomes caramelised over time thanks to the praline. In the dry down, vanilla is clearly felt, but always accompanied by that caramelised scent. It has excellent trail and good longevity. It is ideal for going dancing in winter; it outshines other perfumes and you will surely attract attention. I have a bottle with 70% content and I treat it like water, as it has been discontinued for years. What a pity that Paco Rabanne removes jewels like this from the market and releases 800 identical One Million flakiers instead.
Like in a prestige game, from Bofifa’s magic hat comes this Ultrared Men, and a sample ends up in my hands (thanks, friend). It is a striking, sweet scent, ideal for young men in age or heart, for going out partying wrapped in an extremely pleasant gourmand cloud. Simple but very delicious; I like it more than its sibling Ultraviolet, which I have tried several times but never quite got the hang of. Citrus, vanilla, wood, and praline are the notes I appreciate most, suitable for mild and fresh days. Longevity is not bad, with a medium trail for the first hour, then it fades a bit but remains noticeable. Definitely a good perfume; if you like gourmands, it will be a marvel in your collection if you can find it.
One of my tattoos is a scorpion. People ask why, and I say it’s nothing, but it’s both true and a lie. Sometimes one feels this way, perhaps due to strange emotional upbringing or my relationships with chemistry. As Bret Easton Ellis said: ‘people scare me’. It doesn’t scare me; I’m affable, but I am afraid of the mark I leave. I feel like an emotional punching bag, yet also like someone who can sting unintentionally, like a scorpion, and cause harm. In my relationships there is no middle ground: either I hurt or they hurt, and the latter option is terrible with so much empathy. What does this have to do with Ultrared? I identify dangerous accents within a sweet, delicious, and noisy cloud (the one that inspired One Million), attractive and magnetic. There is rarefied vanilla in generous doses, with dessert-like finishes. But also blood orange, citrus, throbbing, full of veins like a keloid, poisoning that tender dessert, just like in the Elm Street Nightmare scene where the playground becomes terrifying. I like this contrast. It seems original to me, perhaps too much, and that is why Ultrared lasted two news broadcasts. Closer to niche than tradition, in 2008 there was nothing like it. It was the salvo against the gourmand bombardment that followed. A gourmand like never before: greedy, idyllic, with bitter notes hidden behind its skin, like a werewolf.
I tested it blind and it reminded me of Ultra Zest; I’m not the only one. It has that typical sweet patchouli from Mugler with an orange twist. It’s stylish and has great longevity.
It’s a fantastic perfume. I own many, but this is the one that earns compliments. The orange, vanilla, and patchouli are clearly present and perfectly balanced. It works brilliantly in the cold and is also lovely in spring, though obviously not for extreme heat.
Re-evaluating: it opens with strong blood orange that stays throughout the entire olfactory life, simply calming down when the gourmand notes appear (praline, caramel, vanilla). It’s a soft gourmand and the citrus allow you to wear it on a summer night. It’s very sweet but pleasant. What a good vibe! What a return to sales! Don’t pay a fortune for Ultra Zest, this one is better.
By god, what a beautiful perfume, you grab the One Million and add many well-ripe fruits and you get this exquisite treat. Projects for about 4 hours on my skin and lasts 9 hours skin deep, it’s gorgeous.
Great fragrance, here in Chile there was a limited stock and I didn’t hesitate to buy it, 10 out of 10.
I think it’s a cologne and I suppose this batch comes discounted as it’s a re-release. I notice the sweetness of the blood orange, but the fresh opening feels to me like strawberry gum. It’s linear in that gummy perception with wearable sweetness, nothing like Joop. It wins at the end when it’s settled. Moderate trail, 3-4 hours duration because it’s surely been reformulated (we over-apply and then what). On paper it lasts all day sticking the nose to it and on clothes 5-6 hours. Versatility and season: back of the wardrobe and for heat, although I’ve tested it at 10-20 degrees. Would I buy it again? It’s okay but it doesn’t surprise me. Would I recommend it? No. You have to buy it blind on sites like Brasty or Notino.
This perfume would have had overwhelming success with another house and today would be very sought after; Ultrared was the ugly duckling of an already discredited collection. Although they smell good, Ultrared and its sister Ultraviolet are among Paco Rabanne’s most undervalued creations. It has a citrus opening with sweetness, but the citrus is already sweet, like sweetened orange juice; the blood orange is very noticeable. It’s accompanied by praline which gives robustness, but the patchouli is noticeable at the base, worked like Thierry Mugler’s: sweet, deep and adding consistency. Over time, the citrus gets stuck in the sweet, with the praline, tonka bean and a toasted nuance to the praline standing out. To me, this part feels a bit heavy and the aroma varies little until the end where it becomes creamy due to the vanilla. It’s not bad, I didn’t try Ultra Zest to compare, but it’s suitable for lovers of the sugary looking for something creative and with personality. It has aged well because the market turned towards sweet and gourmand aromas with good performance. It will dazzle those who find it at a good price, withdrawn since 2008, victim of the dominance of 1 Million. Undervalued, it seems the red flankers had better reputation. If you catch it at a good price, you like the sweet and are looking for something casual for day-to-day or mild evenings, it’s your workhorse, the red stapler of Paco Rabanne.
Human behaviour is striking. When it was discontinued, everyone said: ‘jewel of perfumery’, ‘beast bomb’, ‘wish they would bring it back’. Now that it’s back, they say: ‘generic scent’, ‘doesn’t project’, ‘there are better ones’. I think with all discontinued fragrances that yardstick is used. Will the same happen with other things?
I like it more than Ultraviolet; it’s not as fresh as they say, to me it feels sweet with a sweet orange base. Although it might seem so, it doesn’t become heavy, it wears easily and the duration isn’t bad. The only thing is that it’s no longer sold and it’s a pity because Ultraviolet is actually in shops and this one seems much deeper, longer-lasting and more interesting to me.
I got it recently and I’ve really liked it. It starts with a handful of orange candies (with liquor) that, although sweet, smell fresh, accompanied by tonka bean. After an hour, the praline takes centre stage with a very good balsamic and chocolatey aroma. At four hours, it leaves a vanilla base with patchouli and a bit of a kick (like pepper or ginger; I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s so in Ultra Zest). It met my expectations: trail for 4 hours and then skin scent, totaling 8 hours on my skin. The bottle is pretty but the atomiser leaves something to be desired when pressed (common in Paco Rabanne as with One Million). Recommended if you like wearable gourmands. I see it as youthful but unisex leaning towards masculine due to the dry-down.
Does anyone know if this is 100% discontinued? It used to cost over $300 and now it’s available for $50. Javier Orgaz said Paco Rabanne confirmed via email that it’s not in their catalogue. Yet several YouTubers still have it. Is it a perfect imitation? Phantom launched in Latin America before Spain, which made me doubt because, being a Spanish brand, it makes sense for it to launch in Europe first. Is there a worldwide scammer selling fakes? Do we with our collections have originals or imitations? Will Ultrared be produced again, or are the items sold as originals in prestigious shops fakes, perhaps even Paco doesn’t know they are distributed this way?
Top fragrance, grabbed it at a bargain price and it was a total blind buy success. It opens with a sweet, citrusy blood orange that brings freshness and brightness. Then the orange fades and the almond praline and tonka bean come out strong. It projects well for a few hours before becoming more intimate and sweet due to the vanilla. Lasts 5 or 6 hours on my skin. Smells different and delivers. I see it for fresh spring or autumn days. As it evolves, it smells very similar to Lolita Lempicka (it smells like my girlfriend), so I see it as unisex. It deserves a place in your collection.
Excellent aroma, niche quality and for its low price it’s a 10/10. In summary it combines vanilla, orange and chocolate very well, with a soft and powdery sweetness, not invasive or sharp, but warm and cosy. That’s why it’s very versatile, it’s used daily (even at work) and for special occasions. Excellent longevity, on clothes it lasts days that soft powdery chocolatey vanilla. It’s considered unisex, but it has a very slight smoky chocolatey touch that makes it a bit more masculine. Totally recommended.
Fresh, sweet and slightly acidic blood orange. The praliné and vanilla do the rest. Like a Mugler made with Puig’s nocturnal sweets. It gets compliments; if you are a current non-alcoholic nocturnal gourmand, give it a try, you might find what you’re looking for, it’s cheap and not mass-produced.
Relaxed, cool, youthful and above all, informal.
I met Paco Rabanne Ultrared Man thanks to a friend, I think he was the only one in my country who knew it and spoke highly of it. When he tested it one day walking down the street, he went straight into the store to buy it back in 2008/2009. They asked fortunes for years after its discontinuation and it always left me intrigued. Until in 2021 it appeared at a ridiculous and accessible price. How right he was, the day I tested it I ran to buy a bottle and months later I bought another as a spare. It’s a gourmand à la A*Men without the nuclear and overwhelming aspect. It comes with almost candied orange and the dry down is praliné (chocolate with hazelnuts) plus a patchouli that gives it a sweet pastry base. It lasts wonderfully, on clothes for 12h and on skin it radiates for 3h, I feel it gives heat and radiates a sweet apralinated balm. For medium seasons and harsh winter, in summer it’s unviable. Informal and youthful, for a pair of black Converse, semi-distressed jeans and a check shirt, that vibe of the late 2000s. It’s in my top 3 of Paco Rabanne, a gem for those with good taste. If they bottled it in a Creed bottle they would sell it without raising suspicions.
What a marvel! For me, it’s one of the best by Paco Rabanne without having tried others, alongside Invictus, Platinum, Parfum, Elixir, Black XS and Pure XS. I put it in the top 3, it’s an unknown fragrance and a true delight. Delicious from start to finish: it starts with blood orange and then leaves a scent with praliné, vanilla, patchouli and tonka bean which is delicious. The orange takes away the cloyingness. As it dries, what I notice most is the praliné and patchouli, although the orange is still there. It has little bursts of Black XS, but it’s not the same; this is sweeter, although it shares notes. Longevity on skin is huge, with an old batch and 15 sprays it projects over a metre for more than 5 hours. It’s hard to get, few stocks and discontinued. My rating: Longevity 8, projects over a metre, lasts more than 5 hours with 15 sprays. Only for autumn and winter, don’t touch it in the heat, it becomes heavy. Close to the skin it lasts longer, but that I don’t count. Fixation 9, on my skin it’s luxury. Sillage 8, smells a metre away, great so it’s not heavy, but you need 15 sprays for a powerful trail. Versatility 9, it serves for almost everything: dates, casual, clubs, to make yourself noticed. Scent 10, it’s a powerhouse, smells of great potency, an unknown gem that has become my favourite.
Ultrared by Paco!! I bought it and returned it the next day. It gave me a headache from being so strong. It’s too sweet and heavy, it reminds me of the tobacco air freshener in taxis. It doesn’t fit in my collection, of course, respecting everyone else’s tastes.
Exquisite fragrance, gourmand style, boils down to chocolate and orange. The projection and longevity are brutal; I put on 4 sprays and they last over 8 hours. The only drawback is the atomiser, it doesn’t convince me, it squirts like a jet, but well, that’s only if there’s something bad to mention about this undervalued fragrance.
A hidden gem. Perfect for going out to a party 🤙.
A perfume where praliné takes the lead, a sweet and almost edible accord. It is naturally seductive, ideal for night, dates, or nights out. It has that classic Paco DNA with a touch of its own identity, something that today is pure gold when everything smells the same due to Arabic fragrances or clones.
Rich and super soft! But I feel it doesn’t last at all. Has it been discontinued or what? I have one from 2020. It’s strange that the box says ‘Made in France’ and the bottle says ‘Made in Spain’, quite odd.
As it dries down, it seems more and more similar to Guerlain Homme from 2008 (discontinued). Just for that, it’s worth it.
It smells like a vanilla ice cream over an orange one melting, with caramel everywhere. It has faint aromas of vanilla and creamy things. It’s a delight if you love sweets or your partner will love it. In the sun or tropical heat, even if you apply a lot, the sun eventually kills it and dries it out badly; it doesn’t damage the sweetness but it doesn’t perceive the same. On clothes it lasts until a day or until washing. In the cold it’s a shotgun: it projects and floods the place. It’s a crazy sweet ideal for dates. I wouldn’t use it at meetings because it’s too strong; it’s perfect for special outings or parties if you want to smell different.
Thanks to the reviews and ratings I was encouraged to buy it without having heard it and I must say it was a hit. I found this gem from Paco Rabanne at an incredible price. I understand why it hovered around 300 dollars. It’s exquisite, versatile, with the Rabanne DNA: the citrus and praliné touch make it for all year and any occasion. It can be your signature, as it makes you stand out anywhere. 10 out of 10.
What can I say, I’m sad because I can’t use it; I live in a warm climate. In the cold it’s a shot: all the notes are noticeable, sometimes the blood orange, other times the chocolate, other times the vanilla. The trail is unique. The vanilla hit is similar to Eros but finer and more enjoyable. It smells like a decent poker player, elegant and well-mannered. It’s a mix of elegance and party that isn’t defined by one or the other; if you use it in a context without connecting it, it loses its essence. It’s perfect for elegant parties. Pity that in the heat performance drops and delicate notes like the blood orange and vanilla trail are lost. In the cold it’s a 10/10.
Batch 2020. The first thing that came to mind was the Black XS from the same creator as the first 2008 bottles I own. At first it smells young, citrusy and sweet. I’ll edit later on performance and the rest.
A proper perfumazo for cold autumn and harsh winter. It’s excellent in every way; I already have my third bottle. It opens with a juicy candied orange that bursts sweet, but doesn’t last long before giving way to praliné with moderate tonka bean, the best phase that projects and attracts compliments thanks to the acidity of the blood orange base. As it dries down, vanilla and patchouli soften the scent, making it cosy and close. It’s a gourmand through and through, with just the right acidity, ideal as a winter signature. Lasts several days on clothes and is very masculine. No doubt I’ll keep using it.
It’s a projection bomb that is spectacular. The combination of blood orange, praliné and patchouli is incredible. It’s a gem from Rabanne, very good.
Rabanne’s Ultrared smells of caramelised orange blending blood orange with praliné, creating a perfect balance between citrus and sweet.
ULTRARED MEN is a proper perfumazo that goes unnoticed among so many flankers. It smells of almost caramelised orange, with well-contained praliné and vanilla balanced by the citrus. The trail is rich, especially on clothes. Ideal for mild weather or winter; it sets you apart from current sweet trends. Good performance, not a beast. A great perfume.
I tried it on a decant and it smells like a modernised Le Male: less 90s vintage, more avo-vanilla and fresh, but keeping the vibe. I loved it, though with so many similar options, I’m not sure if I’d take it home.
