paco

by Paco Rabanne

Where can I buy it!?
What's it like?...
It's a light, citrus based fragrance ~ very similar to CKone.  It's even unisex - boy, that's a shocker, huh?  Slight green/spicy notes are perceptible on the dry-down, but that's the only change.
When to wear it...
Anytime really.  It's just clean.
How it lasted on me...
Gone in a few hours.
The bottle...
A cylinder of aluminum, with the lettering of "paco" reverse embossed on it.
Miscellaneous details...
The bottle is made completely of aluminum - no glass to break on business trips or in the gym.  I even threw it down on the concrete from a ladder - by accident - barely a nick!  Heck, I was curious ~ and besides, someone's got to tell you what will really happen!  Also, even though paco is unisex, it will only be sold at the men's fragrance counters.  Unless you're at a certain store, night club, museum or subway...  Paco took the "freestanding unit" to new heights with self-service vending machines.  The ones in-store are bought by paying for a paco card at the register, and then inserting it in the machine for your bottle. (The vending machines in museums & subways take two twenty dollar bills instead)  The card spits back out (as a souvenir) and the machine yells "paco!" in a muttered, husky voice while it sucks up your bottle with a vacuum hose.  Your shiny new bottle gets dropped into a bin that you're sure to get your hand caught in - just like when you reach for a bag of M & M's.
In my opinion...
Um, hello?  Paco?  Anybody home?  Even Drug stores jumped on this bandwagon quicker.  We call it "CKuno "- As in, it's just like CKone, but slightly different...  The fragrance itself is okay, but I was burnt out on unisex citrus fragrances in '95!  I must admit, though, I do like the bottle....
