Million Gold For Her

I got this as a brand new sample with a beautiful card with that gorgeous photo of Gigi on it holding a giant gold bottle that says "The New Million Gold EDP For Her comes alive through the Maison's first ever grand floral. An innovative duality opposing metallic rose oxide with feminine white flowers, contrasted with a mineral musk accord." I thought it was kinda different than other perfumes with these salty and metallic notes once I sprayed it on but also thought it was just my skin chemistry. Mainly I was disappointed by the lack of white flowers which are one of my favourite scents. I was expecting "white florals by the beach" but sadly just got vanilla with some generic fruity note. So far it's giving very clean girl vibes, safe but with a slight salty metallic edge. Dries down to basic vanilla though and barely lasts on skin. Really disappointed by the lack of white flowers and rose as all I smelt was mostly vanilla on me however I've only tested a tiny amount. Seems like this one needs to age a bit as another member said, I totally agree. Something in this is interesting but perhaps needs to age a bit more for that to come out. A pretty safe scent and blind buy just in time for Christmas gifts. Someone else mentioned D&G The One which kinda gives me the same sparkly champagne vibes with some peaches or fruit. Though that one was a lot stronger on me, and also aged very well. Nothing like Fame though which went all synthetic sweet mango headache on me in that ugly bottle. I get the candied oranges with a slightly powdery vanilla in the drydown especially. I definitely wouldn't mind a full bottle for Christmas but wouldn't purchase it myself. Kinda reminds me of champagne, gold, and celebrating which I guess is what they were going for ✨🥂 ✨ Edit 1: ty Fragrantica for finally updating the notes people keep asking about. Top notes are Pear, Rose and Lavender; middle notes are Jasmine and Ylang Ylang; base notes are Musk, Vanilla and Moss. Most definitely a vanilla base with pear and something I'm smelling I can't quite put my finger on. Perhaps a combination of the rest. Still not getting any white flowers especially JASMINE - one of my forever fave florals which is currently blooming here at night all over the place, and the scent is intoxicating 🌸🤍 Edit 2: thank you @scent.2 for posting the full notes below! Notes: *Lavender, madagaskan mandarin orange, pearadise, tonkalactone *Jasmin, ylang-ylang, rose oxide *bourbon vanilla, ecomusk, mossy notes Update: so I was bored with all my fragrances and going out so grabbed this sample as for some reason I was craving it. Perhaps the lavender? Pearadise? Feeling nostalgic? Who knows. I sprayed it all over my arms and a bit on my clothes. It's hot but I'm in aircon. Both work well. Now it smells very comforting with the vanilla, yet has a salty, metallic uplifting edge. I'd say this is one of those perfumes you buy the largest gift set of for either yourself or someone else. The one that comes with the biggest bottle, a purse spray for top ups (definitely needed unless spraying all over clothes) when going out and a matching lotion, in a beautiful gold box and sparkly packaging. A definite safe blind buy for most. I think it's the salty, metallic edge that makes it different than just another cozy vanilla fragrance and is ideal for both summer, winter and layering. I still stand by I'd love this as a Christmas gift. Best with a bottle of champagne 🍾 🎁 🎄

Im tired of all the newness but this one put me in a chokehold im still trying to decide what it is about this that I love and what is it about this that I question myself on. Its truly a paradoxe fragrance where it means nothing but everything all at the same time. (and I can't stand that males interpretation of what a female fragrance should smell like... i dont like that perfume one bit all the prada paradoxe and its flankers. Yuck. ) However,, this one is truly the same as tale as old as time HOWEVER it's so unique Its like people will remember the scent but not be able to figure it out. It feels familiar but you still are intriguied by trying to figure out more. Maybe it's the mineral musk note in here mixed with this particular vanilla feel. You've smelled this everywhere yet you've never experienced it before. Its something I can't pinpoint. Its been a day and I'm still contemplating what this fragrance makes me feel like. (Leaning towards positive, price is in the negative tho, so test wisely!) Its basic but its basic done right. Its the goldilocks of when you want to smell "good" It's not too hot, not too cold, it's just right." It's generic but in a nostalgic comforting way. On my skin and clothing it reminds me of sticking my face into hot clean clothes fresh out of the dryer. Its appealing and landed me a NSFW compliment from my husband. He really likes this one and I can't argue with him as it is so pleasant to the nose. There's nothing off-putting or offensive or challenging. It's a stupid dumb easy reach. I am loving this more and more. It does have a slight effect of Gucci Gorgeous Orchid but that one was poorly blended on me and gave too much of that banana peel smell.. this one is what I would have wanted from that. I wasn't expecting much from this because i already have fame intense and jpg Divine (which at first spray reminded me of it) and so I passed it on. Its slightly similar to Divine but this one smells way better on me. Divine was too screechy and was a bit of a show off where this one just sort of melts into my skin quite nicely. On to the smell- it's this harmony blend of (throwing in adjectives here) fruity fresh floral clean creamy silk on me. I didn't get that at first but the dry down is GORGEOUS - that mineral musk whatever that is - is so beautiful with the vanilla and the pear is great. This is one of the best pear scents and it comes off a teensy bit peachy as well. Its so addictive. I am pleasantly surprised with this release. Really goodt. I thought to take some of these negative comments personally but looking at their favorite fragrances I know i shouldn't because some of their absolute loves are highly questionable to me 😆 cue the side eye emoji 👀

This is an interesting perfume, it is very nuanced on my skin and smells absolutely delightful. This is, for me, a daily driver. I could wear this anywhere, any time and I feel it would be classy and chic, yet also cozy and yummy. This perfume performs differently on my skin depending if I’m fresh out of the shower or not, with jasmine, rose and lavender being more forward than pear on my clean skin, yet pear being incredibly dominant if I reapply. I love applying throughout the day to refresh the scent and get a blast of sweet pear and heady jasmine. For me, it maintains a moderate sillage for around 4 hours. I love the pear and floral opening! It is so sweet, very addictive to me. The jasmine was more forward on me, but the ylang ylang came in and really lingers, merging with the creamy vanilla drydown. The effect is a transition from very fresh, bright, and sweet to a very sensual, coy, yummy scent, which is given depth by the oak moss and musk. The oak moss maintains a sense of dryness and freshness for me, and I like that the ylang ylang, vanilla, and musk does not become pungent or funky, feels very clean. I still get the scent of lavender, very slight, at this point. I agree with describing a mineral musk. The note that others describe as banana I can kind of understand, I get more of a custard/taffy over banana. From start to finish, I enjoy this fragrance a lot. It makes me happy and uplifted, and it’s not trying to be overly sexy but still carries a sensual/flirty, confident vibe, just in a lighthearted, carefree way. I love that it is versatile and pleasant for daily use, and as a bonus it blends nicely with my hair products! I see it as leaning more spring and summer but not feeling out of place at other times. My only wish is that it lasted a bit longer... I probably need to spray more because my skin soaks this stuff up like a sponge, as it does with most fragrances. It stays forever as a skin scent though. Bonus points - the bottle is luxurious and feels very hefty!

I was in the duty free store at the airport in Paris when I tried this one, usually I’m not a fan of Rabanne because I feel like everyone already knows most of their perfumes but this is a new one so I gave it a shot; I tried other brands but nothing catches my nose so I left and went to my gate, but while I was waiting I kept smelling this one, it was SOOO GOOD I just had to go back to the store and buy it. If you like sweet perfumes you will love this one, I’ll describe it as that rich mom in her Porsche going to her Pilates class with her matching workout outfit after she left her kids at school and holding a caramel iced coffee; it reminded me a little bit to YSL libre intense (probably bc of the lavender) but soooo much sweeter. I’m a big fan of pear as a scent so when I read the notes I was so happy when I noticed it’s one of the top notes because it just gives that fresh, youthful and fruity scent to it but you still have that vanilla and musk to warm it up. It’s also a very practical perfume because you can totally wear it at a date night or at a brunch without being too overwhelming. It has a moderate durability, about 5 hrs maybe, definitely has become my daily signature scent and I will soooo recommend it.

What a beautiful perfume, what a beautiful fragrance. This perfume is delicious, that's why I chose it as my birthday present. I treated myself to this wonderful gift. It's an open, elegant floral, and right off the bat, it's fresh, and you can already smell that burst of lavender. However, it's a fresh and very delicate lavender, and along with it come the fruity notes of a sweeter, ripe, and juicy pear. It's a very floral perfume, and on my skin, I can clearly smell the jasmine and ylang. As it dries down, it becomes warmer, more velvety, and together with the musk, it gives the perfume a creamy sensation. And all of this, of course... surrounded and enveloped by my dear and beloved vanilla, giving the perfume that very vanilla-like quality, but without being gourmand. This vanilla is creamy, sweet, and positively reinforces the sweetness of the flowers. What a beautiful, floral, extremely elegant, sophisticated, creamy perfume, sweetened by the sweetness of vanilla. However, even though it's sweet, it's a versatile scent. I can wear it on any occasion, in any season, but I think in the summer I shouldn't spray too much.. I found it to be a very comfortable, well-balanced, and well-rounded scent. I loved my gift!
