Paco Rabanne 1 Million Prive & Lady Million Prive ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 21 April 2016 4 Comments

Paco Rabanne 1 Million Prive & Lady Million Prive

Paco Rabanne will launch 1 Million Privé and Lady Million Privé, new flankers to 2008's 1 Million for men and 2010's Lady Million respectively.

1 Million Privé ~ "Seven years ago, Christophe Raynaud joined forces with Olivier Pescheux and Michel Girard to dream up 1 Million Eau de Toilette. The leathery, animal scent illuminates a touch of blood mandarin and cinnamon. He has retained these final two blazing and sparkling ingredients for 1 Million Privé. In a twist, he has enhanced the fragrance and incorporated noble materials to take it from classic to unique. The heart is an extraordinary adventure of nargile tobacco enriched with precious myrrh. The base notes are hot and sensual with a blend of legendary patchouli and tonka bean absolute. Exciting and explosive! This is a combination of rare materials in warm gold and copper tones with the oriental reflections of myrrh resin and the matte depth of tobacco. The 1 Million Privé man appears beneath your nose: elegant, sometimes frivolous, often extreme. Never where we expect him, he is always out of step and… Intense." In Eau de Parfum.

Lady Million Privé ~ "“Addictive”, “enchanting”, “forbidden”… When Anne Flipo, creator of Lady Million and now the Privé version, evokes the scent of this captivating and irresistible woman, it’s a world in itself that comes through in fragrant waves. With notes of orange blossom and vibrant wood, Lady Million Eau de Parfum plays the seduction card, attracting her partner to an almost dangerous romantic pairing. Far from toning things down, Lady Million Privé takes the adventure one step further to territories that are hypnotic and profound, sensual and oriental. The amazing trio of sunny heliotrope flower, hot and creamy vanilla and raspberry seals the enchantment. In the base notes, soft and captivating cocoa bean comes to the fore, followed by honey and vibrant patchouli. An irresistible narcotic effect and a wave of heat like a soft, enveloping and voluptuous sirocco wind. An invitation to desire and a fragrance of escape." In Eau de Toilette.

Paco Rabanne 1 Million Privé and Lady Million Privé will debut this summer.

    I may be the sole NSTer that really liked Lady Million. In fact, just yesterday I was contemplating buying an extremely discounted bottle. ????
    Maybe I should wait and try this one first….hehehe.

      I am sure you are not the only one 🙂

      I might be the only one that’s never tried it. I did try Black XS and Olympea, just never got around to this one.

    1 Million Privé actually sounds like it may be interesting. It has many of my favorite notes now—tobacco, myrhh, patchouli—notes which I love even more when paired well with bizarre, unexpected notes. 1 Million’s notes fit the bill, I’d say! If they get the blend right, this might actually be the first Paco Rabanne’s men’s release I actually like! I hope this gets wide release; so many of the flankers for both PR and Mugler don’t make it here to the Philippines.
