Lady Million Fabulous: The new Diamond by Paco Rabanne. For Paco Rabanne, no material is as seductive as gold. A great lover of metal, he has always made gold one of his greatest sources of inspiration. After all, what other element can boast of inspiring so much desire?
For Paco Rabanne, gold is the mirror of our ego. Men like to own it to reveal their importance and success to all. Highly coveted, gold naturally attracts, and this is how Paco Rabanne decided to turn it into a fragrance. In 2010, he created a feminine fragrance named Lady Million, presented in a golden diamond, a symbol of luxury and excess. Highly coveted, this fragrance for women has since been considered one of the greatest successes in world perfumery. Year after year, it renews itself. In 2021, it gave birth to Lady Million Fabulous. So, how is this new fragrance different from its predecessors? Here is our review of this fragrance.
Olfastory’s review
A sun-kissed and sensual breath, for a highly contrasted result
Let us begin with the central element of this fragrance: its scent. Once again, Paco Rabanne chose to entrust perfumer Anne Flipo. It must be said that this nose is among the most influential perfume creators in the world. Moreover, she is the one who already imagined the first version of Lady Million… At Paco Rabanne, they do not change a winning team, and history repeats itself once more. For Lady Million Fabulous, Anne Flipo decided to revisit the idea of white flowers and the sun-kissed spirit of the collection. However, this time it is a more exuberant and contrasted fragrance. Electrifying to perfection, it begins with a spicy, fresh blend of pink pepper, mandarin, and orange. White flowers then arrive in its heart. Tuberose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang are featured. Gradually, the seductive side of Lady Million Fabulous emerges from its base notes, in a sweet blend of vanilla and tonka bean. Lady Million Fabulous closes with a duo of cashmere wood and oakmoss. The result, in our view, is a very lively and seductive fragrance, whose exuberance takes nothing away from its refinement.
Paco Rabanne slightly reinvents the Lady Million bottle
If the fragrance of Lady Million Fabulous is highly contrasted, this notion of opposition is also reflected in its visual. Just like the previous editions of the Lady Million collection, this feminine fragrance is presented in a diamond-shaped glass bottle. On it, the golden color still dominates. Indeed, it is the source of inspiration for this entire olfactory collection. However, a novelty is also present. The top of the Lady Million Fabulous bottle is dressed in a black glittery finish. The message is clear and the scene is set: Lady Million Fabulous takes us into a nocturnal, shimmering atmosphere. A radiant sun nevertheless illuminates the whole, while bearing the name of this fragrance. Like the fragrance it contains, Lady Million Fabulous remains very balanced and harmonious, despite its combination of contradictory elements. This is how one notices that it is a great fragrance… With Paco Rabanne’s creative spirit, it could not have been otherwise!
