Paco Rabanne
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The mandarin orange crackles with immediate citrus energy, its zesty brightness cut through by a whisper of pink pepper that adds subtle spice and warmth. Within moments, you sense the composition pivoting—the citrus already fading, making way for something deeper and decidedly creamy to surface.
The tuberose asserts itself with unignorable presence, a creamy, almost buttery whiteness that mingles with jasmine's honeyed warmth and ylang ylang's tropical richness. The fragrance transforms into a decadent, almost gourmand floral where vanilla and tonka bean begin their quiet emergence, softening the white florals' intensity into something velvety and skin-like rather than shrill.
What remains is a creamy vanilla-tonka base warmed by cashmere wood and grounded by a subtle moss note, the tuberose now a gentle whisper rather than a declaration. The fragrance settles into an intimate, almost powdery sweetness that hovers close to the skin—a fragrance reduced to essence, intimate and stubborn in its refusal to project.
Lady Million Fabulous is Anne Flipo's deliberately indulgent take on hedonism—a fragrance that leans into excess with the confidence of someone who refuses apology. The mandarin orange opens with a sharp, almost tart brightness, immediately tempered by pink pepper's subtle warmth, creating a fruity-spicy opening that feels almost playful rather than precious. But this is merely theatre before the floral crescendo. The heart is unabashedly tuberose-forward, that particular creamy, slightly buttery rendering of the white floral that sits somewhere between sensual and almost soapy. Jasmine and ylang ylang amplify this creamy sweetness, layering a honeyed, almost coconut-like density that transforms the fruity opening into something decidedly gourmand.
The base is where Flipo commits fully to indulgence: tonka bean and vanilla create a caramel-soft foundation, whilst cashmere wood and moss add a whisper of texture and restraint—enough to prevent the composition from becoming cloying, though only just. There's a velvety, almost lipstick-like quality to how the vanilla and tonka interact with the lingering tuberose, suggesting skin rather than a cloud of abstraction.
