Founded in Paris in 1966 by Spanish designer Francisco Rabaneda y Cuervo, known as Paco Rabanne, the house established a futuristic style shaped by metal and unexpected materials. Puig began supporting the house in perfumery in 1968 and launched Calandre in 1969, before acquiring the entire company in 1987. In 2023, the house adopted the name Rabanne, while continuing this legacy in fashion and beauty.
At Paco Rabanne, fragrance extends the fashion identity: an avant-garde spirit, metallic facets and bottles designed as objects of design. Calandre established this language with its metallic rose and architectural case made of metal and glass. Recent creations revisit the house’s silver, gold and sculptural codes, with a strong taste for distinctive olfactory signatures.
Right now at Fragsplit, 2 Paco Rabanne fragrances are available as 1 to 10 ml decants: One Million Cologne, Ultraviolet Man.
