Perfume is one of our favourite things to talk about, to write about and to wear. Especially when the spritz doesn’t just linger on our skin, but shifts our mood, straightens our posture, puts a swing in our step and reminds us of who we are.
Paco Rabanne’s Million Gold For Her Pure Jasmine Eau de Parfum is one of those scents. It’s the kind of fragrance that doesn’t ask for attention but gets it anyway.
Crafted with the same sexy feminine flair the French fashion house’s bold couture is renowned for, Rabanne’s first-ever grand floral eau is textured, nuanced and easy to wear. Opening with juicy pear and sweet mandarin notes, the scent is fresh and inviting with soft and creamy undertones of lavender and Tonkalactone. At its heart is a lush bouquet of jasmine absolute wrapped in ylang-ylang blooms. The rich floral goodness then eases into a warm, grounded and sensual elixir of vanilla bourbon, soft musk and mineral moss. The overall effect is bright and calm, polished and authentic, subtle and memorable. A juxtaposition of contradictions that merge for olfactory perfection.
And it’s all captured in a weighty, multifaceted glass flacon adorned with the label’s iconic XL Link inspired by the bold chains of Brittany. Refillable, this parfum brings a touch of thoughtfulness, a waft of glamour and a whole lot of gold to our daily spritzing.
Paco Rabanne Million Gold For Her Pure Jasmine, $173 for 50 ml, available at Sephora.
