Lady Million Paco Rabanne for women

1 Million is one of the most popular fragrances launched in last several years. After the edition for men, women's version inspired by gold and wealth was expected. Two years after men's edition, fragrant lady finally appears - Lady Million! We can just assume if this lady wants to earn millions or look like a million dollar. It is perfectly clear that the woman represented by this edition radiates, dominates and possesses fiery character with incredible sensuality.
Flacon of Lady Million is in tune with composition and theme of this edition. Instead of gold bullion, the flacon for women is designed as a golden diamond. While insinuating luxury and wealth, the fragrance prepares a surprising composition of intertwined floral, fresh and woody accords. Only diamond can compete with gold, soLady Million is the perfect companion to modern and masculine 1 Million.
The Notes of Fragrance
Anne Flipo, BĂ©atrice Piquet and Dominque Ropion have all created scents for some of the biggest names in perfumery. But what path did they take to create Lady Million? “It was clear that this perfume had to be as charismatic as 1 Million, with as strong a signature, yet without a direct olfactory link. The Lady Million woman is dazzling, always seductive. This ‘playful’ aspect inspired us immensely. Lady Million is fresh, floral and woody, like a nectar of voluptuous flowers, trailing delicately but still very present. Powerfully seductive, the sparkle of bitter orange with a touch of raspberry reveals the first breath. A burst of neroli follows, smooth and bright. But then the lethal weapon of heady orange blossom slips out of its sheath. Its narcotic sweetness bewitches and grabs all attention. Then, joining with Arabian jasmine underlined by gardenia, the blend soars into something more carnal, yet ever subtle. Now the obsessive pulsing of patchouli enters the fray, pacifying the honey with an addictive and terribly tempting sweetness. Amber spreads to become all enveloping, floating around the beauty, following each movement and offering its most beautiful facets”.
Designer of the attractive, luxurious flacon is Noe Duchaufour-Lawrance. The perfume will be available as 30, 50 and 80ml edp.
Thi in July 2010. Lady Million makes men's fantasy and desires come true. Advertising face is Dree Hemingway. Lady Million was created by Anne FlipoBeatrice PiquetDominique Ropion andBruno Jovanovic.

Main Accords: white floral, sweet, honey, citrus and patchouli.

Personal review: It is not that bad as I imagined it to be after reading few negative reviews. 

I love honey notes in perfumes as they add that sweet warmth to the fragrance and Lady Million is not much different. It is very warm and sweet but intensed with flower notes as well. 

The first notes are definitely honey( smells literarly like fresh honey straight out of the pot) which is georgous...it is followed by jasmine , some other white (quite intensive) flowers and definitely patchouli. 
I cant smell raspberry and lemon for the first couple of hours- I can smell them somewhere in the middle just right before drydown.
The drydown is beautiful- very deep and it is a bit of everything on my skin- honey, patchouli, citrus and flowers. 

I like this fragrance but I normally use it in the evenings. In a warm weather it can be a bit too much during the day- it gave me headache (white flowers normally give me a bit of headache sometimes) couple of times so I decided to use it at night time in spring and will give it a go during a day in wintertime.

It is not a perfume I would call original but it smells good.There is something expensive about it and I dont mean the bottle.
