1 Million Royal

Paco Rabanne 1 Million Royal presents a refined, softer evolution of the original One Million's signature sweet and ambery profile. Its opening features cardamom and citrus notes—tangerine and bergamot—that lend a fresh, slightly gourmandy lift, while the lavender, sage, and violet leaf in the heart add herbal depth and a subtle floral greenness. The drydown reveals a warm, smoky amber base with benzoin and patchouli, offering a sensual, soft sweetness that feels intimate yet pronounced. The scent is versatile across seasons, particularly well-suited for evening wear, with some users reporting extended longevity and noticeable sillage even after a day. Despite mixed reports on performance—some find it average or weak, others note it lasting 8–12 hours and lingering on clothing—it is widely praised for its smoothness, approachability, and the distinctive cardamom-amber-woody character which sets it apart from earlier flankers. It appeals to those seeking a more mature, less aggressive version of the One Million style, resembling a modernized Joop! or Armani scent in its warmth and complexity.
