Panettone comes from Milano Fragranze, a niche fragrance house dedicated to capturing the essence of Milan through olfactory storytelling. This particular creation was developed by the same perfumer who created Gris Charnel for BDK...

The star of the show here is bitter orange, which confidently persists throughout all stages of the fragrance. It’s accompanied by a subtle ginger and a standout buckwheat note, giving the composition a textured, cozy edge. Vanilla makes an appearance too - not cloying or overly sweet, but more like by adding depth without stealing the spotlight.

The resulting combination is a remarkably realistic portrayal of a freshly baked high-end panettone from a pasticceria. And as an Italian who's lived in Milan and indulged in plenty of authentic panettone, I can confirm: they’ve nailed it.

I first tried Panettone a few months ago when I received a sample. Even with just one spray on my hand, the scent lingered for nearly the entire day. That performance (and the scent) convinced me it was worth a full bottle. Yesterday, I finally got it, and let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint.

This morning, I sprayed it at 7:30 AM, and 12 hours later, it was still projecting at arm's length. For a gourmand fragrance, good projection is not uncommon, but Panettone will keep radiating for hours.

Milano Fragranze doesn’t just excel in scent but in presentation too. The blu Savoia (a colour associated with Milan) bottle is elegant, with a magnetic cap and a pressurized sprayer that delivers an even mist. For a niche fragrance, the pricing is reasonable, making this a good value for its quality.

Panettone is a perfectly unisex gourmand that manages to be both unique and versatile. If you’re a fan of edible fragrances or just want something that doesn’t smell like everything else out there, this one deserves your attention.

10/10 – Perfetto!

This is the very first time that I look at the "Smell Similar" list and I think it is 100% correct... it turns out that people are not always affected by olfactory hallucinations!

I currently own Layton, Red Tobacco and I used to have Bottled Elixir too (but I found out that I don't love patchouli bombs)... and I agree on the listed similarities.
Bottled Absolu is essentially a combination of Layton with Red Tobacco's dominant note.

I've tried it recently, and I would say that if you don't own any of the 3 frags I listed above, you could easily purchase Bottled Absolu (for a reasonable price) and make the other 3 redundant.
As I already have Layton and Red Tobacco, Bottled Absolu is not for me but it is definitely full bottle worthy.

Performance wise, I would agree with what most of the people are saying here, noting at least 3+ hours of decent arm's length projection. Given its notes, this is more of an autumn/winter fragrance which would be best used in the evening.
Usually, I steer away from blunt seasonal categorisations, but the tobacco note used here would make it suicidal if used during hotter months.

One of my favorites from Paco Rabanne, hands down - this one’s definitely full-bottle-worthy!

Think of it as a more "refined" take on Invictus, though it’s different enough to stand on its own. You still catch a faint echo of that original Invictus DNA, but the real star here is the absinthe (or as the fancy folks say, “anise”) paired with a sweet, crisp mint note. It’s fresh and just a bit playful.

Now, don’t get me wrong - I like the OG, but Platinum’s versatility wins it extra points. You can easily take it from the office to a classy evening out or even a daytime date. While it shines in warmer months (one of my faves for the high heat), you won't be breaking any frag-laws by wearing it in autumn!

Performance? No complaints here. You’re looking at 2-3 hours of solid projection and about 8 hours on the skin (a full day on clothes).
Clean, uplifting, mildly sweet - this one’s a winner for versatility!

Back when I was just a “casual user” of fragrances, 1 Million Eau de Toilette was my go-to. I went through at least three bottles.
So, yes, I definitely liked that 1 Million DNA. Now, enter the 1 Million Parfum, and this one’s the closest relative to the original, but it’s been modernized and made even stronger. Think of it as the OG on steroids.

Like the original, this parfum version is super versatile. Depending on how trigger-happy you are with the sprayer, it can work for almost any occasion - even formal events, perhaps thanks to the white floral notes.
Full bottle worthy? Absolutely.

As for those saying it’s similar to Scandal pour Homme - well, kind of.
I owned Scandal EdT, and while there’s a vague resemblance, Scandal has that distinct mandarin note, which is totally absent here. 1 Million Parfum leans more into that “sun cream” (a.k.a. "solar") vibe, which I’m totally here for.

I agree with the comparisons that have been floating around. This fragrance is like a more restrained version of Megamare (or Atlas), though it leans more toward Kenzo’s Pour Homme Intense - perhaps even a bit fresher, especially as it dries down.
You’ll catch faint traces of other fragrances from Quentin Bisch’s portfolio, but not to the level of a significant similarity.

Now, while it may not be the most original scent out there, I still think it’s a solid buy - especially when the price drops a little.
The performance is where Sel really shines. I sprayed it at 3 p.m., and by 10 p.m., I was still getting whiffs of those mid notes. Fast forward to 7 a.m. the next day, and it was still there on my skin as a faint scent.

In short: a great addition to your collection if you're after a lasting oceanic vibe that doesn't overpower.
