Description
Paco Rabanne launches Lady Million Eau de Toilette in spring 2012, a lighter, fresher and more relaxed version of the Lady Million fragrance from 2010. The new fragrance represents a fresh floral – woody bouquet.
The new Lady Million is portrayed by Dree Hemingway once again. “Extravagant and unfailingly dazzling, this femme fatale is just like a diamond, unique and yet many-sided, brilliant and faceted. Excessively, of course, and luminous like a shower of diamonds…”
The new composition, fresh and luminous, is signed by perfumer Anne Flipo of IFF. She introduced floral – green facets of lily of the valley (which dominates) and hyacinth to the composition, with neroli and gardenia keeping its original place.
“The Lady MILLION woman is brilliant, always caught up in seduction, gambling and competition. We find this strength, femininity and sensuality in the Eau de Toilette, but with a more luminous, fresher signature. Like a diamond, the Lady Million fragrance offers a multitude of facets, allowing you to experience it differently every time. We opted for green and floral notes such as lily of the valley, gardenia or even hyacinth; white flowers given a fresher approach to bring a distinctive illumination. Lily of the valley is essential. We chose it for its cheerfulness, crispness and energetic green side. The base remains the same: sensual, soft and sexy. The top and heart notes are exuberant while bringing a real luminosity, like a very enveloping breeze of freshness. We finish with the perfume’s incredibly sensual and vibrant sillage. We therefore find this addictive woody floral once again – with other feminine, playful, sensual and seductive facets – in the same vein as Lady Million Eau de Parfum”, described Anne Flipo.
Top notes: neroli, lily of the valley
Heart: hyacinth, gardenia
Base: honey, patchouli
The fragrance is available as 50 and 80 ml Eau de Toilette.
ALLEXXX – :
The overbearing that most people dislike in edp version I personally adore. Because it’s not powdery but fresh, almost citrusy.
The edt version doesn’t have that, it’s lighter, fresher but still similar to the original one.
I’m glad I finally bought this masterpiece.
PhegelaCase – :
The only perfume ever complimented by a man – without having to ask!!!
Fezir – :
ist so similar to Eau My Gold – there is no point of getting both
Preerosit – :
initial spray, sweet and pleasant. not too overbearing like the edp.lily of the valley very distinct but camouflaged, thank goodness. hasn’t lasted very long on my skin. maybe 2 hours and now i can barely smell it with my nose pressed against my wrist. for someone who avoids lily of the valley, i’d say i dont hate it. i like it a little but wouldn’t buy it.
Sobowbofraimb – :
Tornado of honey liquor.for me it’s like try to drink some brandy from the bottle without ability to stop .some kind of torture;))).and I just don’t understand why -I love patchouli and it have to be fresh smell but nope.
When I feel this fragrance around me it’s like headache without mercy:).close black gardins and leave me alone to suffer;:).
But I know that many people can feel the freshness and clean happy sides of lady millions it just my private nose:).

Ok so funny story….I found, what I THOUGHT was lady million EDP at shoppers drug mart on sale for 19.99-trying to clear out stock in preparation for Xmas….so I blind bought it….and I have smelling it over and over and over and thought this is much more fresh smelling than what i had expected…so sure enough I come to see if they out out an EDT aaaaaaand here I am lol I will say this….I love this! Typically j run in the opposite direction of a fragrance that has patchouli, but shockingly I love this! I find it very pretty. Longevity is poor but for 20 bucks I don’t care! Great to me from me early Xmas gift!
KRASNODAR – :
This is a strong scent. Used daily I am guaranteed to get a headache on day two. But if you’re planning on a romantic evening and want to feel a little naughty this will get you right in themood. A little bit sweet, it dries a little too dry for me. I like it, but in moderation.
ClaytonSolman – :
loved patchouli, in my bedroom, remember me in day for fresh, and a clean!!!
LattVeire – :
Honey and white floral notes – this should be amazing. Unfortunately, it’s not. Lily of the valley is sharp and ruins the whole thing. Makes it smell like an “old lady scent”. It is slightly better than the EDP version, because there’s no suffocating amber in this one.
It’s warm, floral and strong. I am not a fan of this one though, too much for me. I don’t think this is what the advertising is promising.
phasserve – :
everyone using this smell,everyone! It has no personality

Just got a sample of this. Although I find it a lovely, sparkling, unique fragrance at the beginning, I find the drydown to be nothing vastly different to be honest. I think I will need to get a sample of the Edp as the Edt version is very light with projection being only soft. It can still be detected close to the skin for about 3 – 4 hours.
Sidgdov – :
Just added this one to my collection for Spring. I love it’s floral and honey notes. It’s very easy to see why it’s popular – certainly not a scent that will offend those around you.
It’s a bit headache-inducing to begin with but fades really nicely and can be detected even after an entire day.
PISSdec – :
It is very simple.there are many fragrances like this.

DANIIL-LEE – :
I was afraid of the first lady million, having tried it as a sample vial and not sure if it was “too much” for a Winter daytime scent. Then I played it safe and bought the EDT version after reading these reviews and thinking it would give me enough sillage and good potency. I was wrong.
If you are looking for a scent to stick to your skin and create a nice perfume cloud around you during the Winter, go for the EDP.
I am now sending my EDT back and getting the EDP because it just didn’t have the golden richness that I was looking for in the EDP. It didn’t last very long on me either, and I was surprised. This scent smells eerily close to the Roberto Cavalli new scent in the amber bottle. It’s the orange blossom existing in both, however, I find the Lady Million to be more elegant.
Router2486 – :
Oh my goodness.. this smells amazing! I love love love it! and this I say from 1 day of trying out the tiny sample vial I have. Its like the twin sister of CHARMED LIFE from BBW! I absolutely adore this scent, very feminine, doesn’t give me a headache & it lasts the whole day on me..! I’m so considering getting the big bottle.LOL! 2 thumbs up!!
floraden – :
I was very surprised to realize it was an EdT- so strong on me, a statement scent- I AM here!
Warm, “golden”, sweet chypre which makes me want to sniff my wrist again and again. It starts screaming and even offensive but then… it becomes an elegant, seducing and very feminine scent.
I can’t tell I like it from the first sniff, but I feel the scent opening, growing on my skin, playing and sparkling. I feel myself falling in love…
I wish the bottle would be more sophisticated. This heavy, big piece of glass (?) doesn’t fit at all (IMHO).
tefguebyOweby – :
I own both the EDP and EDT of lady million and to be honest i don’t enjoy the EDT as much as the EDP which is my signature and absolutely adore for me the EDT just don’t have the amazing appeal and sweetness and it lacks character.
alex.k.rus – :
A dual dimensional frag which starts all heavy feminine and soon becomes more alluring..
I applied 6 heavy sprays
0-20 mins – The 1st dimension. This is heavy, thick, cloying, mature and been done before. Heavy floral and not what I expected from the marketing, not to my personal taste
20 mins – 1.5 hours – 1 foot projection. Okay, the 2nd dimension starts and changes from before. I smelt my skin and the penny dropped, this is a lighter smell of Mugler Alien, yet what projects does not smell like that frag. The smell on the skin is best, its a little creamy-gardenia, nice.
1.5 hours – 3 hours – 6 inch projection. Prefer the smell on the skin to what projects
3 hours – 6 hours – 2 inch projection but sometimes I get foot trails.
6 hours – 8 hours – 1 inch projection
8- 10 hours. Close to skin
The opening does not reflect the marketing and many may smell in the shop and be confused. 20 minutes later you have something much better, but I recommend Mugler Alien EDP over this.
BTW if you like Alien EDP and you have a man you want to buy a frag for which is similar, then buy Azzaro Chrome Legend – this is the male equivalent of Lady Million EDT and Mugler Alien EDP and Chrome Legend projects and lasts all day
silovikxxx – :
Floral woody musk. Exactly as the description states. Luckily, this combination works well on me. LM EDT possesses an elegant edge that makes it, to me, more appropriate for a power lunch or sophisticated social event than the club scene. A real confidence booster!
barsu-olga – :
I got a sample-mini. To me this perfume smells very normal. Nicely done for sure, there’s certainly nothing in this scent I DON’T like…
I do not have a lot of experience with perfume fragrances at all. So I wondered: how come I find this scent “normal”? Someone here says this perfume is like the original “So?” Could be that’s what a schoolmate or some classmates wore, in my secondary school, round about 1985? My very first subconscious perfume-experiences? I tried to find the release-date on the internet, couldn’t find it. Patent is now with another company.
Anyway, this is not special enough to pay for. I’m glad I won’t have to bear with the absurd and ugly bottle. The sample-mini can still serve me to make sure I carry a pleasant smell, for some evening.
alq200JeomiWogkig – :
Just ordered a 80ml bottle of lady million EDT of the escentual website cant wait for it to arrive its still not even out in Australia so i get it early so excited!!!!!!!!!!!
Bosharik – :
Apart from difference in the concentration, Lady Million EDT is nothing different to its predecessor.
Only the dry down seems to be slightly metallic, so to speak but apart from this, I equally enjoy wearing both EDP and EDT.
Surprisingly I did not notice any difference in longetivity between the two, both last quite a while, the EDT perhaps has a little more subtle silage.
Overall I would recommend both to honey note lovers.
I will remain faithful to my EDP since I love silage monsters which Lady Million EDP is provided it is generously layered with the shower gel and body lotion.
I wish to also highlight that I am not particularly keen on patchouli but the note in EDP seems to be well counterbalanced with the honey note, thus making it hardly detectable on its own.
Long live Lady Million.
lili1533 – :
how much lighter it can get ..as if the original was heavy(?!) anyway i cant judge until i smell it..till we meet again lady million
faradeyk – :
In Holland it’s already available too. I tried it and I must say it’s almost identical to the EdP which I have. There’s so little difference, maybe it’s a bit lighter, that I don’t want to have both, I have EdP now and won’t purchase the EdT at the moment.
