Lady Million Lucky

I really can't understand all the hate for this one, I'm EXTREMELY fussy and this went straight to my faves, each to they're own I guess, but don't be put off by the bad reviews. In my opinion this is so much more gorgeous than the original, I really couldn't get on with that one, there was something very old school about it and the amber was so brash, it actually didnt smell pleasant to me atall, on others however when I've caught a whiff it's smelt beautiful so it could be my skin, or it could be that it just smells better from a distance, but for me the difference is huge I.e how it smells on my skin and how it smells at a distance..So i had to give that one a miss, but this one strangely smells exactly what lady million smells like on others/at a distance on my skin...like the most beautiful, high end, classy, luxurious honey and raspberry shampoo, it's an absolute hit for me, gorgeous in every sense of the word. I don't usually wear any type of gourmand perfume because I prefer smelling fresh..but this one has a bit of everything on my skin and the raspberry keeps it from feeling suffocating and musty like most gourmands do on me and the hazelnut is just pure yumminess. This gets a 10/10 for me and the sillage and longetivity are really good so don't write this off just because a few people aren't keen on it x

This was a wonderful surprise for me. What I would call a well done flanker, because imo it keeps the exact amount of resemblance with the original in order to have its own individuality. It's also true that it is less impressive than the original, and more of a crowd pleaser. It opens with a sweet honey and strawberry note, a little too sweet but the in dry down the sweetness mixes with rose, sandalwood, creamy hazelnut and maybe a little bit of ambergris. The floral creaminess of the base notes it's just wonderful. I had no big issues regarding performance. My experience with longevity was that it performs better on skin than on clothes, 6-8 hours, on higher temperatures. If you expect something close to the original, this is probably not it. It's a sweet creamy fruity floral, day to day fragrance.

Blind bought this because of a heavy discount. At first spray I get a blast of juiciness that lasts for only a few seconds, but I can’t say I specifically distinguish the raspberry in this. Then the magic happens. I smell warm honey, mixed with the nuttiness, wonderful and cozy. Honey can be a tough one for me, often it goes pee-ey. But here I think the hazelnut balances it and prevents it to go in that direction. Just about. I can’t help smelling myself all the time. After a short while the woodiness comes in. I don’t normally like woody perfumes, but here again the hazelnut compensates/makes it worthwhile. If you like nutty perfumes, I recommend trying this. Wears close to the skin within the hour, and has ok longevity. The sillage is discreet. BUT I haven’t oversprayed it yet, that tends to help.

This was a blind buy, my local SDM was doing a HUGE clear out of lots of fragrances and I got a FULL SIZE of this for $19.99!!! I couldn’t believe it!!! I must say, I did NOT expect to fall so deeply in love with this. I noticed that raspberry is the first note listed and I will say I LOVE raspberry notes (and the fruit of course) so I’m not sure what it is but this has the most beautiful, luxurious chocolatey, fruity but not overkill, bit of sweet without going full gourmand and the right amount of nutty and earthy type notes. Omg I’ve found a new love love love!! It’s gorgeous! So glad I got it!!!

Tried it again, still love it, it reminds me a tiny bit of LVEB Intense but waaay better because it's way sofer. Don't know how that is possible but I'm not getting any raspberry, just nutty, woody, slightly sweet, slightly floral with maybe a little bit of honey, a little bit of that bubblegum but not fruity flavored. Very warm and cozy and it has a bit of that 'warm skin' quality to it. The first Paco Rabanne I like! UPDATE: It's the day after and I can still smell it in my hair a little from using just one spray
