Lady Million
The opening of Rabanne Lady Million Eau de Parfum Gift Set is bitter orange and raspberry together, sharp fruit against dry peel, with neroli running through them. Orange blossom and jasmine follow as a creamy white floral heart, and honey and patchouli give the second half of the wear its weight.
The tiers are clear. Bitter orange, raspberry and neroli open it, orange blossom and jasmine widen the middle into a full white floral, and honey and patchouli close it. The honey is sweet and slightly animal, the patchouli earthy and dry, and together they give the finish an amber depth the fruity opening does not predict. What holds the whole thing together is the orange thread: bitter orange at the top, orange blossom at the heart, both of them keeping the sweetness from going flat. The floral and gourmand sides share the middle of the wear and the honey takes the end of it.
Anne Flipo, Béatrice Piquet and Dominique Ropion composed Lady Million for Rabanne in 2010. Monsieur Rabanne showed his debut collection in 1966 and the house released its first fragrance, Calandre, a metallic rose in a metal and glass bottle, in 1969. Its fragrance identity still draws on that couture work in metal.
Long lasting with strong sillage, it announces itself and then stays. It wears year round, and the sweetness and the animalic honey give it enough presence for a night out while staying wearable at work or casually. In cold weather the base comes forward; in warm weather the citrus and raspberry opening does more of the talking. It arrives as a gift set.
