Paco Rabanne releases a new 1 Million Parfum for 2020. Gold is a precious metal that has always fascinated men, regardless of civilization or religion. The designer Paco Rabanne did not escape its appeal and made it one of his favorite materials.
Paco Rabanne is a famous Spanish designer, renowned worldwide for his inventiveness and his art of reinventing materials to turn them into unexpected pieces. Moreover, since 1969, he has also been one of the most prominent figures in perfumery. Each of his creations hits the mark, and Paco Rabanne dresses men and women from all walks of life in his vibrant perfumes. Blending these two worlds, in 2008 he decided to invent a fragrance resembling a gold bar. This is how 1 Million came about, becoming one of the best-known scents on the planet. Today, it reinvents itself and becomes 1 Million Parfum. So, what about its new leathery composition?
1 Million Parfum, a resinous and floral opening
1 Million Parfum opens with a very elegant and floral scent, something rare enough for a men's perfume to be worth noting. Here, tuberose takes center stage. Native to Mexico, this flower was introduced to the Provence region in the 17th century. This is why it is widely used in perfumery today. Slightly heady, tuberose never goes unnoticed. However, it develops many olfactory facets and, in 1 Million Parfum, unfolds a honeyed, creamy and warm breath. Some will say that tuberose bears some resemblance to orange blossom. Here, it is paired with cistus, a very Mediterranean plant adorned with white flowers. Balsamic, cistus gives 1 Million Parfum a most irresistible amber and animalic scent.
When Paco Rabanne softens leather with cashmere wood
Undeniably, 1 Million Parfum is a perfume designed for seductive and sensual men. As proof, the heart of this fragrance is built essentially around leathery notes. Since the use of animal materials is strictly forbidden, this leather scent is entirely reproduced in the laboratory, using synthetic materials. Thanks to leather, 1 Million Parfum gives off an almost erotic scent. This effect is further amplified by the addition of ambergris, an animal material drifting in the oceans and taking on a slight salinity. Cashmere wood, for its part, softens the whole, giving 1 Million Parfum a more balanced feel.
1 Million Parfum ends with a sun-kissed salinity
In its base, the salty aspect of 1 Million Parfum continues. Ambergris gives way to a more pronounced sea salt accord. Solar notes also make their appearance, as if the ambergris had drifted over the waves under a blazing sun. Finally, pine closes this composition with a woodier flavor. This is an excellent way of asserting the masculinity of the man who wears this fragrance. Moreover, this raw material gives 1 Million Parfum greater longevity.
As usual, 1 Million Parfum comes presented in a bottle shaped like a gold bar. Both visually and olfactorily, it does not intend to go unnoticed.
