1 Million
If the man you are buying for has worn the same scent for years, Rabanne 1 Million Eau de Toilette Gift Set is one of the safest boxes on the shelf, because the fragrance in it has been a fixture for a long time.
It opens with citrus and does not stay there. Blood mandarin is sweet and heavy, grapefruit is bitter against it, and mint adds a brief cold clarity that disappears within minutes. Cinnamon then takes the whole thing over, hot and dry, with rose underneath it lending weight rather than a floral character of its own. Leather, amber and Indian patchouli close it, smooth and sweet with an earthy bitterness running through, and that is the part people smell on a coat the next day.
Given as a set, it carries a certain amount of occasion with it. A single bottle in a bag reads as practical, while a box reads as a present, and the difference matters more than it should. It also removes the temptation to buy something unfamiliar in the hope of seeming more thoughtful, which is how most unwanted bottles end up at the back of a cupboard.
The eau de toilette concentration is the version most people know, generous without being thick, and it suits evenings, parties and winter far better than a hot afternoon at a desk.
Rabanne is a Paris fashion name turned fragrance house. Paco Rabanne, the designer, showed a first collection in 1966; perfumery came by way of the Spanish group Puig, which created the fragrance division in 1968 and went on to take ownership of the brand in 1987. The label today reads simply Rabanne. Credit for the composition belongs to Christophe Raynaud, Michel Girard and Olivier Pescheux.
