Paco Rabanne is rightfully considered one of the most creative fashion designers in the modern fashion world.
Brand story
Paco Raban (born Francisco Rabaneda y Cuervo) was born in the Basque Country (Spain) in 1934. After the death of his father, when Paco was 5 years old, the family moved to Paris. The mother began working for the then-famous designer Cristobal Balenciaga, which brought the boy closer to the fashion world.
At the age of 18, Paco Raban entered the National School of Fine Arts in the department of architecture. In order to pay for his education, he began to invent and design jewelry and various trifles for Balenciaga. A little later, he began working with such venerable fashion idols as Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent and Givenchy, making bags, belts and other accessories for them.
His products using modern and unusual materials (such as high-quality plastics) attracted more and more attention from young buyers. Over time, Raban began to create clothes, and already in 1965, his first costumes were sold in thousands of copies. In the same year, the fashion designer changed his name to Paco Raban. And in 1966, the first collection was already presented to the fashion world, consistingof 12 models made of modern materials: metal, plastic, paper. This unusual design decision stirred up the fashion world, and the collection did not go unnoticed by critics or the international press.
Creating perfumes
The first Paco Raban perfume was released already in 1969. They were called Calandre and belonged to women's fragrances.
A little later, the first men's perfume Pour Homme from Paco Rabann came out with mixed notes of flowers and wood, thus turning the perfume world upside down.
Perfume "Paco Rabana", consisting of unusual compositions, is always an exquisite, sophisticated fragrance, elegant bottles with an aura of mystical overtones, intertwined with the passion of the great maestro - astrology.
Description
Since the first perfumes had enchanting success and popularity, the master did not stop there, and in 1979 a new amazing women's perfume called Metal was released. An unusual combination of floral chypre with a slightly bitter basil and hyacinth beginning and a soft opening with a metallic aftertaste at the end was created for young and bright women who are in love with life and do not hide it. A little later, this eau de toilette received its continuation in Eau de Metal, the composition of which was more delicate, but no less sonorous.
The birth of a new intriguing fragrance did not keep the public waiting: in 1985, the new perfume "Paco Raban" was presented - La Nuit women's perfume for passionate and sensual ladies. Perfumes that give beauty andappeal, composed of floral tones of rose and jasmine, diluted with the sweetness of white honey and peach. Exotics add notes of pepper, patchouli, and finally - notes of oak moss. This fragrance has not lost its uniqueness to this day.
The designer did not bypass the creation of unisex fragrances suitable for both men and women. Paco was released in 1995 and, a little later, Paco Energy. These fragrances are designed for young, energetic and stylish people of the modern metropolis. They carry the freshness of citrus fruits, notes of bergamot and coriander, lavender, musk and sandalwood.
