Fragrance Notes
1 Million Elixir
There is a version of 1 Million for almost every taste by now, the Elixir is the fruity and slightly strange one, and Rabanne 1 Million Elixir Eau de Parfum 50ml is the size that makes most sense for it, given how little you need to wear.
Six materials, listed flat rather than split into a top and a base, and the composition is dense from the first minute. Damascus rose is the backbone, dark and sweet and a long way from a garden flower, and davana wraps it in something fruity and faintly fermented, a herb that smells of warm dried fruit and spirit. Osmanthus is the third in that group, bringing a soft apricot skin smell with a leathery edge to it.
Cedarwood is the dry counterweight, all clean splinters, and it is what stops the fruit sitting heavy. Vanilla and tonka bean finish the job between them, the first a dark and resinous sweetness, the second warm and soft, somewhere between hay drying in a field and plain sugar.
Short rows like this one do not evolve much, and that is worth knowing before you buy. The upside is that it is consistent: what you like at ten minutes is what you will still be wearing four hours later, quieter and closer to the skin. It carries well for an eau de parfum, it was made for men, and it is a cold weather and after dark proposition rather than anything for a warm office. The release year is 2022, and the 50ml bottle is the practical one.
Behind the bottle sits Puig, the Spanish group that has run Rabanne's fragrance since establishing a perfume division in 1968 and that bought the brand outright in 1987. The label itself began as the Paris fashion house of the designer Paco Rabanne.
