The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2026 by Rabanne, 1 Million Night Elixir is an Oriental Woody fragrance crafted by perfumers Christophe Raynaud and Quentin Bisch. The composition opens with a bright citrus trio of mandarin, bergamot, and lemon, which gives way to the warmth of maple syrup and cinnamon. This contrast between freshness and sweetness creates a dynamic tension that evolves into a rich base of vanilla, benzoin, and labdanum, enveloping the wearer in a cocoon of balsamic richness.
Apply a light mist to your pulse points — the mandarin and bergamot top notes are bright but dissipate within an hour. The heart of cinnamon and vanilla will take center stage after that, so let it settle for at least 20 minutes before reapplying if you want a stronger presence.

Christophe Raynaud
Architect first, craftsman secondChristophe Raynaud is a perfumer who describes himself as a craftsman with the sensitivity of an artist. He begins each fragrance with a raw olfactory block, working for hours to shape it as a sculptor would — first as architect, then as craftsman.
“At first, I am the architect, and then I become the craftsman.”
