Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023, 1 Million Royal by Rabanne is a captivating Oriental Woody fragrance created by perfumers Quentin Bisch and Christophe Raynaud. The composition opens with the bright zest of tangerine and bergamot, balanced by the spicy warmth of cardamom. As it evolves, lavender and sage add an herbal depth, while benzoin and patchouli ground the scent with rich, woody notes. This fragrance is a modern take on luxury, blending classic aromatic elements with contemporary sophistication.
For best results, apply a light mist to your pulse points. The citrus and spicy top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so allow them to mingle with the woody base for at least an hour before heading out. This fragrance is better suited for cooler evenings or indoor settings where it can envelop you in its warm embrace.

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.”
