1 Million Parfum

He first turned it into a sparkling dress sewn with gold plates, before making it a perfume: 1 Million, in 2008. Gold is perceived here as the symbol of every fantasy. It embodies pleasures, desires, everything that shines and sometimes turns heads. Once again, it sparkles and puts stars in the eyes, notably with the release of 1 Million Parfum, the 2020 edition of this cult saga by Paco Rabanne.

1 Million Parfum, a warm floral and leathery scent

Like all the fragrances in the collection, 1 Million Parfum gives off a sweet and tender flavor. As such, it could almost be an androgynous perfume, equally appreciated by men and women. Yet its woody notes give it an undeniable character, while its floral breath preserves all its elegance and lightness. But did you know that 1 Million Parfum was born of an accident? Nothing destined this perfume to see the light of day, and yet... As its creator Quentin Bisch reveals, the original idea for it came from an accident: coming back from vacation, I had two broken bottles in my leather bag. One was my sunscreen and the other a sample of cistus. The smell was absolutely divine. I captured it with a simple formula: a contrasting scent of salty monoi-tuberose blended with resinous leather. Here, Quentin Bisch chose to sign this creation in collaboration with perfumer Christophe Raynaud. Together, they imagined a floral and slightly salty scent, pairing tuberose with a seductive breath of leather and resin. Amber wood texturizes the whole, while it is further patinated with pine.

Joey Bada$$, new face of Paco Rabanne

1 Million Parfum still comes in a bottle shaped like a gold bar, like its predecessors. Its imposing stature gives it all its strength, while its metallic lacquering gives it immediate shine. Its name, for its part, is finely engraved on its sides, standing out against a radiant sun.
On screen, this bottle is proudly showcased by one of hip hop's international stars: Joey Bada$$. After all, it must be acknowledged that the unapologetic bling-bling side of this perfume suits him perfectly. A true prodigy of American rap, Joey Bada$$ grew up in Brooklyn. To this day, he is just as famous for his talents as a musician as for his acting. As proof, he appeared in the film Mr. Robot alongside Rami Malek. An engaged artist highly respected in his field, he is already preparing to release a new solo album, with a launch planned for 2020.
