The oriental breath of 1 Million Elixir by Paco Rabanne
1 Million Elixir by Paco Rabanne follows in the same register as its predecessors and intoxicates with a scent coming straight from the Orient. After all, what better olfactory family than this to captivate the senses? One could almost believe it stepped straight out of a tale from the Arabian Nights! 1 Million Elixir by Paco Rabanne owes its existence to perfumers Christophe Raynaud and Quentin Bisch. The former explains: he has always been drawn to the beauty, culture, food and landscapes of the Middle East, and of course, to its perfumery, which has always had a strong influence on his creations. […] For the creation of 1 Million Elixir, he also drew inspiration from the emblematic materials used in Middle Eastern fragrances, such as Atlas cedar and the ever-famous rose, so popular in Middle Eastern men's fragrances.
The intense, sensual olfactory pyramid of 1 Million Elixir
1 Million Elixir by Paco Rabanne opens with a very fruity scent of apple, paired with davana, an aromatic herb. Then, its heart becomes more apricot-like, through contact with osmanthus, a small white flower from a thorny shrub, frequently used by perfumers. It is paired with Damask rose, sourced from Turkey. Cedar immediately adds more depth to this fragrance. It resonates powerfully in a final woody accord of patchouli, giving this masculine fragrance exceptional strength. Finally, for even greater sensuality, 1 Million Elixir by Paco Rabanne closes with a final duo of vanilla and tonka bean.
The more responsible formula of 1 Million Elixir by Paco Rabanne
1 Million Elixir by Paco Rabanne also has a more responsible formula than before. It is a fragrance crafted from 91% natural-origin ingredients. What is more, it results from a vegan formula, meaning it involves no cruelty to animals. Its Damask rose, wild tonka bean and osmanthus are all hand-harvested. This masterful, highly qualitative composition therefore also reflects Givaudan's ambition to design more sustainable fragrances, sourced responsibly. It is an ideal fragrance to delight luxury enthusiasts who are also mindful of the impact of their consumption on the planet and its resources.
