Million Gold Elixir Rabanne 2025

Innocently, I lingered in the pedestrian zone and browsed through the shops. I saw the little highlighter in the fragrance shelf "now new".

I was somewhat surprised; I have seen this thing many times before. The original Million Gold appeals to me when I spray it, but then it develops a bit away from my expectations.
Upon a second look, I see the orange inlay in the chain link.

So I sprayed it on.
I rarely smell all the notes in a fragrance, but here a subtle dried mandarin opens, followed by sandalwood and vanilla.
This scent becomes a bit warmer or "more sandalwoody" for me after about 15 minutes and then lingers unchanged for around 7-9 hours on my skin.

In my eyes, it is directly the warmest and best from the Million series.

It is the first fragrance in a long time that is neither exciting nor boring. I could smell it every day, but I don’t have to smell it every day.
It is not a striking scent, but a very, very successful one and for me, very versatile to wear.
Summer when it’s not too warm, office, going out, dining.

It also joins the small group of fragrances where I was directly asked about the name of the scent.
It won’t knock anyone over, but my goodness, this flanker is solid and well-made.
