Launched in July 2010, Lady Million is the feminine alter ego of 1 Million at Paco Rabanne. Anne Flipo, Béatrice Piquet and Dominique Ropion of IFF created a white floral: neroli, bitter orange and raspberry up top, orange blossom and jasmine absolutes, a base of honey and patchouli. Its diamond bottle is inspired by the Regent at the Louvre.

A diamond-shaped bottle designed by Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance after the Regent at the Louvre, topped with a gold spray cap echoing 1 Million.

The bottle takes the shape of a diamond, where the men’s version adopted that of a gold ingot. The design is by Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance, who had already created the 1 Million bottle.

The shape and size derive from the Regent, the diamond on display at the Louvre, before a paring-down that reduced the facets to the minimum for a sober, modern result. The spray cap is gold, a warm color that chimes with 1 Million.

Developing the glass ran into one difficulty: achieving a tolerance fine enough for the edges to stay visible, since glass naturally tends to soften them.
