Fragrance Notes
Lady Million Royal
One material is all we hold for Rabanne Lady Million Royal Eau de Parfum, and that material is pomegranate, so this is a short piece of writing about a fragrance we will not pretend to know in full.
Pomegranate is worth dwelling on, because it is not the simple sweet fruit people assume. It is tart before it is sweet, with a dry, almost tannic edge that comes from the seeds and the pith rather than the juice, and in perfumery it reads as a red fruit with the sugar turned down. That gives it a sharpness which is useful at the top of a composition: it cuts, it refreshes, and it keeps sweeter materials beneath it from becoming heavy. Here it is listed as the opening and it is the one thing we can tell you with confidence.
What we can say about the format is more definite. This is an eau de parfum, which means a higher oil load than a toilette version and, in practice, a scent that lasts a working day and holds reasonably near the body once the first hour has passed. It is aimed at women. It carries the Lady Million name, which has been the house's main women's range for well over a decade, and the flankers in that line have tended to run sweet, so a tart fruit at the top is a sensible place to start.
If you already wear something from the range, this is worth smelling on skin before buying rather than judging from a note list as thin as this one. The year given for it is 2023, and Anne Flipo and Domitille Michalon-Bertier composed it.
Rabanne is the Spanish owned French house whose perfumery began with Calandre in 1969, a year after Puig created the division. The fashion label behind it dates from 1966 and Puig bought the brand in 1987.
