The house

More from Rabanne

Rabanne started out in France in 1966 as a fashion house with an avant-garde streak, and its fragrances keep that taste for bold, shiny statements. Expect warm, sweet perfumes built on vanilla, amber and patchouli, lit up with bergamot, lavender or pink pepper. 1 Million is the obvious first try, cinnamon heat over bright citrus. Lady Million answers it with honey and white flowers, and 1 Million Parfum swaps the spice for tuberose and amber. Most of the range is made for men, with plenty for women too.
