Paco Rabanne Lady Million Eau De Parfum For Women

The gold-diamond bottle set the tone in 2010 and the scent delivers on it: a big, honeyed floral that opens with raspberry and bright neroli, fills out with jasmine and orange blossom, then dries down to honey, amber and patchouli.

It's glamorous rather than girly — evenings, occasions, autumn and winter — and one of those scents people recognise on you. Longevity is 7.5/10 on our scale, with the honeyed base doing the long shift.
