Paco Rabanne and the repurposing of objects
Paco Rabanne has always been regarded as a visionary designer. A symbol of avant-garde, he is a colorful figure, who first studied architecture at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. Never forgetting his first loves, Paco Rabanne gradually extended his expertise into fashion and then into perfumery. His trademark? Surprise! Paco Rabanne is a figure who loves to astonish. Thus, when he creates perfumes, he never settles for a classic bottle. Paco Rabanne is even fond of repurposing objects. His bottles sometimes resemble diamonds, trophies or even small robots. 1 Million Royal by Paco Rabanne fits fully within this register and takes on the appearance of a gold bar.
1 Million Royal, a perfume bottle shaped like a gold bar
The bottle of 1 Million Royal embodies an absolute fantasy. It takes on the appearance of a gold bar. It is therefore a block of brown glass, bringing together both a bottle and a cap. Entirely covered with a metal frame, it shines brilliantly. With its materials and broad build, it is a symbol of strength. However, thanks to the gold, it is also the embodiment of elegance, refinement and radiance.
1 Million Royal, an echo of Paco Rabanne's couture
Note that 1 Million Royal by Paco Rabanne also echoes the designer's haute couture. Indeed, on many occasions, Paco Rabanne used metal to create unexpected dresses. Some of them were even made using square and rectangular disks. The shape of the bottle of 1 Million Royal by Paco Rabanne clearly evokes this. This perfume is therefore in perfect harmony with Paco Rabanne's wardrobe.
When ruby makes its entrance on the bottle of 1 Million Royal by Paco Rabanne
Finally, the small new addition to this bottle is found on its front face. As usual, the number 1 stands out in an imposing size, in a script that seems straight out of a western. However, for 1 Million Royal, it stands out against a red octagon, resembling a ruby. Naturally, this is meant to evoke the crown jewels. Moreover, if the king chose ruby, it is also because this stone carries very positive connotations. Ruby is a symbol of charity, love, loyalty and happiness. Naturally associated with courage, it has appeared countless times in royal insignia. This is therefore why it also adorns the bottle of 1 Million Royal.
