The House That Made Perfume Bottles Into Objects
Paco Rabanne trained as an architect and made his name in the 1960s building dresses out of chainmail and hammered metal discs. Six decades on, the fragrance arm still thinks like a sculptor. A 1 Million bottle is a gold ingot. Invictus is a trophy. Phantom is a chrome robot with a chip in its head. Fame is a seated golden figure in square sunglasses. Nobody buys these by accident, and nobody forgets where they set one down.
The men's side of this collection runs deep on flankers, which is rather the point. 1 Million Parfum, 1 Million Royal and 1 Million Lucky are three different arguments about the same spicy leather-and-blood-orange idea, running from sweetest to driest. Invictus and Invictus Victory take the fresh aquatic route with ambergris underneath, the one that gyms and campuses adopted wholesale. Phantom brings lavender and vanilla into something cleaner and more modern, and XS Pure sits at the lightest end of the shelf.
For women there is Olympea, salty vanilla lifted by green mandarin, which has aged remarkably well; Lady Million Lucky and the Lady Million Traveler Exclusive; and Fame, the mango and incense composition that pulled a new generation into the house.
Several of the 1 Million, Fame and Olympea presentations arrive as multi-piece boxed sets in their original packaging, which makes them straightforward to hand over as a present with nothing left to wrap.
Most sprays here can be ordered as a 5ml or 10ml decant if you would rather live with one before committing to a 100ml bottle. That is the sensible way to settle whether you are a 1 Million person or an Invictus person.
Our Miami Gardens counter keeps the Paco Rabanne perfume range out and testable, so you can wear it on skin for ten minutes before deciding. If you would rather buy Paco Rabanne online, everything on this page ships anywhere in the country.
