Paco Rabanne, the designer in the vanguard of fashions in the 1960s, is still able of raising a few eyebrows in surprised admiration of his innovative artistic direction. One Million comes in the shape of a gold bullion bottle that is ever so clever, playing on the appeal of the precious metal and Rabanne's futuristic fashion designs featuring metallic details. Like Rabanne says: "In all civilizations and religions gold has always managed to seduce people".
The smell itself is a spicy woody, full of energy and dynamism. Grapefruit, red orange and mint brighten the heart of the fragrance built on a spicy rose and blond leather. The base is fanned out on appealing notes of patchouli, woods and amber, making One Million a fit fragrance for an evening out when you simply want to be your best. Can we state the obvious and say you will smell like a million bucks? Because you will!
Paco Rabanne was born in San Sebastian, in the Spanish Basque country. I spent my childhood under a hail of bombs in Spain, then in France where we took exile because my family was republican. Before that, my mother worked as a chief seamstress for Balenciaga. I had my first supernatural experience at the age of seven and this was to influence me for the rest of my life. Until 1966, Courreges, Cardin, Balenciaga, and Givenchy encouraged me and bought my sketches and Gerard Pipart, who had just joined Nina Ricci, gave me some styles to embroider. With my whole family, I made fancy buttons made of plaited leather, precious stones, as well as of vermicelli or coffee beans stuck to Rhodoid, then painted. In 1973, Paco Rabanne introduced his first fragrance, Paco Rabanne pour homme. 1995, XS Pour Elle was introduced which is a floral, limpid fragrance. Then, in 1996 his first unisex fragrance "Paco" was designed in a recyclable metal bottle. Two years later, "Paco Energy" was created and a year after that, "Ultraviolet" perfume for women was released.
