If you hear the name Paco Rabanne mentioned, the first things that come to mind is their iconic chainmail fashion or of course, their 1 Million aftershave.
If there’s one fragrance that men’s fragrance that epitomises young twentieth-century men, it’s this: 1 Million possesses ample sex-appeal and for this reason, has been many men’s signature scent at some point in their life. The fragrance has had many iterations over the years with different precious metals designs and even has a Lady Million to match.
The next generation of 1 Million returns to its roots with an intense take on their 2008 Eau de Toilette. Inspired by, but not the same, 1 Million Parfum magnifies the notes of leather in the original. It still exudes the sexy feel you loved from the original, but with a deeper twist.
The Smell:
1 Million Parfum is what we’d call a crowd-pleaser! Salty-sweet, spicy and creamy all at once, the scent is one that will be loved by men and women. In the opening, you can smell the salty, ambroxide and smooth cashmeran notes but the tuberose is harder to detect. The saltiness carries through to a rich heart of sweet leather which gives this fragrance its sexy and rugged masculinity. As it develops on the skin the solar leather note comes through accompanied by sticky sweet resiny rose that makes this scent so addictive.
The Notes:
Fragrance family: Leather
Top Notes: Salty Tuberose, Ambroxide, Cashmeran Accord.
Heart Notes: Leathery Opulence.
Base Notes: Solar Leather Accord, Rockrose Resin.
The Bottle:
Gold, silver and bronze; the 1 Million bottle has had a few makeovers over the years but this design goes back to their heritage with a solid 24-carat bar. A little more compact than the previous flacons, the sturdy gold bar stands on its own and is etched with a motif that kind of gives us an art deco, 1920s vibe. The pushdown atomiser is built-in and blends smoothly into the overall gold aesthetic.
