Paco Rabanne Million Gold

Mostly sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit. Underneath that, sunny honeyed flowers like mimosa and ylang-ylang.

It opens on pear, rose and lavender, moves through ylang ylang and jasmine, and settles on vanilla, musk and moss.

• pear: light watery sweetness with a green crispness
• rose: the flower itself, landing anywhere between jammy and fresh green depending on the variety used

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

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