Feeling regal? Then does Paco Rabanne ever have a new fragrance for you…
Paco Rabanne Lady Million Royal – 50ml EDP – $112, 80ml EDP – $138 – a fruity floral fragrance with a top note of pomegranate; a white flowers heart of jasmine, sambac, tuberose and orange blossom; and a woody, ambery and musky base of cashmeran.
I personally smell more of the fruitiness of the pomegranate in this and get less of a floral vibe, which is good for me as I’m all about the fruit – it dries down very warm on me with a hint of sweet so I’m a fan.
Paco Rabanne 1 Million Royal – 50ml – $112, 100ml – $142 – an amber woody fragrance for men with top notes of cardamom, tangerine and bergamot; heart notes of lavender, sage and violet leaf; and base notes of benzoin, cedar and patchouli.
I tested this out on someone who is a fan of the original 1 Million but hasn’t cared much for any of the follow up fragrances and he describes it as a more mature version of the original as well as having really impressive longevity!
Accents of regal red have been added to the iconic bottles which are bling-y enough for King Henry the Eighth himself but still sustainable enough for Alicia Silverstone – both formulas are totally vegan and comprised of 79% of ingredients of vegetal origin – cows happy, carrots sad!
Available at Hudson’s Bay, Shoppers Drug Mart, Sephora, Jean Coutu and London Drugs stores across Canada.
There isn’t really a new commercial for them – just a tacked on blurb at the end of the original 1 Million/Lady Million one – and honestly the whole time I have been doing this, I’ve had Lorde’s Royals song running through my head so here you go, it can live in your head too!
