by Paco Rabanne
Lady Million Fabulous by Paco Rabanne unfolds as a bright, creamy vanilla floral with a radiant solar opening. The initial blast of mandarin orange and pink pepper blends seamlessly with uplifting white florals, creating a gourmand-sweet but not cloying profile. Tuberose and jasmine deliver a soft, velvety floral core, enhanced by a well-blended tonka bean and moss base that adds depth without heaviness. As it dries down, the fragrance settles into a warm, slightly powdery vanilla with a gentle aldehydic effervescence, giving it a luminous, almost skin-like glow. Many users find it elegant, balanced, and highly complimentary—perfect for evening wear or special occasions. It performs well in longevity and projection, with a discernible presence that lingers beyond six hours. However, the scent is divisive. Some users detect a sharp, artificial floral-woody contrast that feels clashing or nauseating, while others find it excessively sweet and rich, especially on warm days. A significant minority report a powerful masculine scent with no floral or vanilla presence, suggesting skin chemistry and sample variation plays a major role. The bottle design and 2000s aesthetic contribute to a perception of glamour over luxury, with a few users finding it tacky. Despite its divisive reputation, most who try it end up favoring it for its coherent progression, soft gourmand warmth, and sophistication.
