1 Million Golden Oud
Rabanne 1 Million Golden Oud is the most serious thing in the 1 Million line and the one that owes least to the original.
Saffron opens it, metallic and slightly leathery in its own right, with nutmeg and black pepper adding dry heat and bergamot providing the only brightness. There is no sweetness at the start at all.
Patchouli, sandalwood and gurjun balsam form the middle, resinous and earthy, and they act as a bridge rather than a separate movement.
The base is the fragrance. Oud and leather together, dark and animalic, with cedarwood keeping it dry and labdanum adding a sticky, ambery warmth that softens the oud's medicinal edge. This is a genuine oriental rather than a sweet masculine wearing oud as decoration.
How Golden Oud wears
It lasts a long time and projects strongly. One spray is a considered amount. Cold weather and evenings are where it belongs, and it is too assertive for most offices.
Rabanne 1 Million Golden Oud Eau de Parfum, 100ml, created by Christophe Raynaud in 2023 for Rabanne, the Paris house making fragrance since 1968.
