Lady Million Gift Set
Amber is the material that gives the Rabanne Lady Million Gift Set its staying power, and it is the quietest thing in the formula.
Inside are the 50ml Eau de Parfum, a 100ml body lotion and a 10ml spray. It sits in the base with patchouli and honey, lending a dry resinous warmth that holds everything above it in place. The honey is the loud part down there, thick and waxy with a faintly animal edge, and patchouli adds earth beneath it. Higher up, orange blossom is creamy and honeyed and jasmine is broad and heady, and the fragrance opens on raspberry, bitter orange and neroli, which between them make a tart, sharp, bright few minutes before the richness arrives. Eight materials, and a genuine progression from one end of the wear to the other, which is more than most sweet fragrances in this bracket manage.
In use it is an evening and cold weather fragrance with real confidence to it. It is noticed early, it stays on skin for hours and it will still be faintly present on a coat the following day, which means a light hand serves it better than a heavy one.
A set is the obvious format for a present, since it needs no wrapping and raises no questions about size, and the fragrance inside is familiar enough that most people will already know whether it suits them or not. That is worth more than novelty when you are buying for somebody else. Anne Flipo, Beatrice Piquet, Bruno Jovanovic and Dominique Ropion are the four perfumers named on the composition.
Rabanne is a French house with its origins in fashion, the designer's first collection having been presented in 1966. The perfume division was set up by the Spanish group Puig in 1968, and Puig has owned the entire brand since 1987.
