Paco Rabanne 1 Million Golden Oud

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on saffron, nutmeg and black pepper, moves through patchouli, gurjan balsam and sandalwood, and settles on leather, oud and cedarwood.

• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite
• nutmeg: warm dusty spice, dry rather than sweet

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
