1 Million Privé
by Paco Rabanne
This is a warm, sweet, and spicy fragrance centered around cinnamon, tobacco, and tonka bean, offering a refined and mature evolution of the original One Million. It opens with a bright, citrusy note of blood mandarin, quickly giving way to a generous and inviting burst of cinnamon, which is balanced by the smooth, creamy depth of tonka bean and a subtle, smoky undercurrent of tobacco. The fragrance develops into a rich, velvety accord that feels intimate yet deeply satisfying, with the warm, resinous elegance of myrrh and the earthy sweetness of patchouli adding depth and complexity. It is particularly well-suited for cooler months, offering a luxurious, cozy warmth ideal for autumn and winter evenings, or intimate social occasions. Its sillage is moderate to strong initially, then settles into a close-to-skin presence, and longevity is consistently high, lasting well into the next day on clothing.
Pros
- +A beautifully balanced, warm, and spicy scent that stands out as more mature and refined than the original One Million
- +Exceptional longevity and performance, with the scent lingering deeply on skin and clothing for over 12 hours
- +Deeply comforting and inviting, making it ideal for colder weather and cozy, intimate settings
Cons
- −Projection is moderate initially, not as bold or dramatic as some might expect
- −A few users find the sweetness too pronounced or the complex notes overwhelming outside of winter
- −Higher price point for a discontinued fragrance, making it one of the costliest options on the secondary market
