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!

This is by far the most balanced, well-rounded and pleasant perfume I’ve tried in years. It just works. Even puts most of the niche perfumes I know to shame. You don’t smell the individual notes in this but the perfume as an amalgamation, which is quite unique in its silent way. I’ve been wearing it for a year so I’ve experienced it in most situations at this point. It’s never too much and never too little. Just enough sweet but not sugary, nicely floral but not overwhelmingly so, beautiful warmth from vanilla but not too warm for even the hottest days of summer. It is GORGEOUS! If in doubt, I go for this one and it never disappoints. It is super feminine, and genuinely, beautifully solar. I feel like I can get some mango too at the back (my non-perfume freak husband thought it was mango too, and he grew up India so he knows his mango). There is something in it that reminds me of a luxurious holiday in India.

It should be a crime for a perfume to smell this nice yet have such abyssal performance at this price point. :( Glad I only purchased a sample. Still a beautiful blend of pear, vanilla and florals for the short time it lasts though! As others have pointed out, I'm not detecting much (if any) rose or lavender. The moss is also more noticeable on paper/fabric vs. skin. ** Update 4/4 - Wearing this tonight with Alien Goddess Intense. Great pairing! ** Update 6/7 - After trying the sample a few more times, I caved and recently bought a travel size on sale. No regrets. The little scent bubble this creates is delicious and suitable anytime, anywhere. Performance still isn't the greatest IMO, but it does seem stronger in hot weather and on clothing. It'll be in my regular rotation this summer! :) Those who enjoy My Devotion, the new Euphoria trio, Olympea Solar, etc. will likely love Million Gold as well.

The jasmine sucker punch and the musk are the main standouts to me. The ylang is still noticeable though, and I get a touch of the lavender too, which is a little reminiscent of YSL Libre. This is much more wearable though, younger and less sickly. I don't normally go for prominent musks, but I like it in here - it's a unique and addictive musk note. A bright, sexy vibe - reminds me of a glass of sparkling, sweet champagne. Despite it's considerable synthetic sweetness, it's one of the only fragrances in my collection that I reach for in all seasons, day or night and for all occasions. It always feels like a safe choice because it's non-polarising but still attractive, fun and a bit mysterious. Edit - just realised how similar this is to Elie Saab - Girl of Now Shine. This is heavier on the jasmine and lacks the almond, but it's hard to tell them apart after the dry down.

Very interesting blend with no sign of singular ingredients. Even looking at the notes I cannot honestly single them out. In character it reminds me of Womanity, thus I see why it reminds people of Fame, which is half Olympea Solar half Womanity. Not the scent itself but certain marine, gourmand edge. But this scent is finally a novelty by Paco Rabanne. The character reminds me of Delina sisterhood. Yet there is nothing like it. If I truly concentrate I feel jasmine, ylang and pear. And musk. The scent is a unique effect out of the parts. It feels like a dense liquid. Sweet, but not too sweet. It does not feel sweetened. It feels fresh out of shower and as if wet petals. Very feminine and gold is a good adjective to describe it. It wears very well, like a second skin. I was wearing it for 5 hours indoors before going out and it was around me, outside it disappeared.

Wow!!!!! Stunning! Super feminine! Beast mode projection and sillage! This fragrance is perfect if you love sweet floral scents that will get you compliments and last ALL day. The way they have blended all the notes together is just pure perfection in my honest opinion. It's a masterpiece!! I love Paco Rabanne perfumes but this one is my new favourite by a mile!! There is something so yummy about it that I just want to sniff my wrist all day! On my skin the rose, lavender, ylang ylang and vanilla are the true stars. It gives it a beautiful amberish feel. I'm already half way through my 30ml bottle and am already looking for a backup. I will go for a bigger bottle next time! Can't see myself ever being without this fragrance. I adore it! 💗💓💕

I got this as a sample and was actually pleasantly surprised. While not ground breaking in any way, this scent is right up my alley. Paco Rabanne perfumes are easily recognisable and for me this is rarely a good thing, but for this one it really works. It's a warm, cozy, powdery scent with sparkling pear and jasmine in the top. I'm not a fan of rose and ylang ylang but these notes are not forward at all and they are blended nicely. Overall it's a very pleasant, uncomplicated every day scent for when you just want to smell great without fuss. Vibe is somewhat of a cross between clean girl aesthetic and 50s Hollywood nouveau riche. I foresee myself wearing this often.

Stunning floral for feminine, sensual ladies. Timeless and universal. Solar, cheerful, joyous floral delight. With strong performance. It is high on my private favourite list. I feel spectacular wearing it. It has that glamorous, golden energy that I love in J'Adore. Rabanne's J'Adore. I like the drydown, too. It is peachy and caressing with apricot finish. Yum. It is rather loud (in a desirable way) for an hour or two then a personal bubble. 8 hours on me and I clearly feel it and love it. The deodorant is also worth having - so fresh, feminine and floral. 8 hours of vivid scent. Without perfume it is safe to have your favourite scent at work this way.

Just got this and was excited to try it. First whiff - Ahh, this is a more candy version of Marc Jacob’s Perfect Intense. Alien Goddess would be a good second contender. A few whiffs in - There’s a banana note reminiscent of Daisy Wild that likes to play peekaboo. I do prefer this over Wild as that one comes across as too youthful for me. I’ve had many compliments on both Perfect Intense & Alien Goddess in the past, so this one is sure to get the same kind of commentary. But this one is nothing groundbreaking or unique. Lovely yellow floral or beach scent that you probably already have in your collection, if you admire those profiles.

This is a 10/10, never been a Paco Rabanne fan before but they really threw it out of the park with this one. I bought this because after smelling it at the store I couldn't stop thinking about it. IMO this is WAY better than burberry goddess and YSL Libre (specially if you're a floral girl) it has floral notes and claims to be more for summer and day but I can picture this as universal and would love to wear it with an expensive outfit at night. Picture you're a woman dressed in a gala dress with lots of money and success, this is what this makes you feel like. The pure jasmine version is also great but the OG is the goat for me.

I got a sample of this a few months ago and liked it so much I ended up buying the full bottle a few weeks later. It’s the only Paco Rabanne I own but I don’t even feel like I need another one because this does the job. It smells expensive and super girly like something that just makes you feel put together. It’s definitely strong though so if you overspray it can get kinda headachey but in a good “wow this is powerful” way lol The best part is how long it lasts. On clothes it literally hangs around until you wash them and on skin it goes all day. I think you could wear this any time of year because it’s sweet but not too heavy.

This is a beautiful scent! It's solar, fresh, clean, floral and sweet You get a green Jasmine and a solar ylang ylang intertwined with pear and lavender for the first few hours. In the dry down you get more and more of that musky salty vanilla, typical from Rabanne. This time, because it's combined with more clean (pear) and masculine kicks (lavender) , it feels super erotic and enticing. To me, this is a response from Rabanne to fragrances like Libre and Paradoxe, it's in the same scent category but with the brand's DNA and textures. 9h on skin and eternal on clothes with a nice and inviting scent bubble

Million Gold for Her smells very smooth and well blended from start to finish. It opens bright with pear, rose and a hint of lavender, then settles into soft floral heart notes like jasmine and ylang-ylang before drying down to a warm mix of vanilla, musk and moss.  What I really like is that it feels more youthful and modern than many other designer perfumes. A lot of designers have this heavy, mature vibe that can smell dated to me, but Million Gold for Her avoids that completely. It feels warm, confident and easy to wear, with a subtle powdery sweetness that keeps it soft rather than loud or sharp.

Trying it on just now, and first reaction is that this one has all the good stuff Burberry Goddess is missing. For now - love at first sniff 😍 Edit; just woke up in the morning - and what was a lovely vanilla in the dry down of Burberry Goddess is mostly pear "something" on my wrist. So my conclusion is that I like the opening in this one more, but the dry down in BG is better. The plus side for million gold is that it overall feels more luxurious. BG to me was good but nothing special (yes - I gave it to my daughter 'cause she loves it). BG is very generic. Million Gold stands out.

Just bought my bottle today after having tested it at perfume stores a couple of times. This was a love at first smell for me! It's not the most jaw dropping complex scent, but it's a still a more special, elegant vanilla scent than some others. I absolutely love vanilla based scents, but I also really enjoy that other notes (i get a lot of pear and jasmine from this) are equal players here. It's a delightful scent with strong sillage and good longevity! A beautiful vanilla, but not too heavy, I could see myself wearing this on a warm summer day as well!

Really enjoying this sample! Generic, yes, but smells very classy and rich. Sweet, but not overly sweet. Not picking up on the rose, lavender, or moss, but there's some juicy pear, creamy ylang ylang, heavy jasmine, and soft vanilla here. The only thing holding me back from instantly buying a bottle is that the longevity and projection are practically non-existent after two to three hours, which it then becomes a skin scent for the remaining two to three hours. Otherwise, this is definitely a safe blind buy if you're a fan of the notes.
