Rabanne
1 Million Elixir
“Apple, damask rose, and vanilla — 1 Million for the sweet-tooth crowd.”
The 2022 Elixir concentration in Rabanne's 1 Million line, which began with the 2008 EDT. Apple opens onto a damask rose heart, settling on vanilla absolute and patchouli. Vanilla leads the accords by a wide margin, with fruity and rose facets beneath and a light woody edge. Wears strongest in winter and fall, evening-leaning, with a dense, sweet presence.
The take
What works
- ●Apple-davana-vanilla sweet sensual compliment getter
- ●Strong projection for evening
Trade-offs
