Paco Rabanne 1 Million Golden Oud, Sample
1 Million Golden Oud by Paco Rabanne is an intriguing Leather fragrance for men, crafted by the esteemed perfumer Christophe Raynaud. Launched in 2023, this composition elevates the renowned 1 Million line with the addition of the exotic Middle Eastern accord of Oud. From the first spritz, the aroma unfolds with the spicy warmth of nutmeg, saffron, and black pepper, creating a vibrant and lively opening. The brightness of bergamot adds a sparkling contrast, invigorating the senses.
As the fragrance develops, the heart reveals a rich and sophisticated blend. The powdery elegance of iris intertwines with the smooth, balsamic sweetness of Gurjan balsam and the warm, resinous character of labdanum. Cedarwood provides a woody depth, enhancing the overall complexity. This intricate layering invites a sense of refinement and allure.
In the dry-down, the fragrance settles into a luxurious base where the opulent notes of leather and oud take centre stage. The dark, velvety richness of agarwood is beautifully complemented by the earthy warmth of patchouli and the creamy texture of sandalwood. Together, these elements create a scent that is both captivating and enigmatic, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and mystery.
