Rabanne 1 Million Eau de Toilette is the cold-weather evening pick. Rabanne describes a fresh and spicy woody scent that opens on blood mandarin, grapefruit and mint, moves to cinnamon and rose, and settles on leathery amber, woody notes and Indian patchouli. It is one of only two brands here to publish a longevity figure: 6 to 8 hours on skin and up to 10 hours on clothing. Rabanne itself suggests it for evenings, dinners and fall to winter, so it is narrower than Sauvage or Acqua di Giò. The page we checked sells the 6.8 oz bottle at $172, discounted to $137.60 in a Black Friday sale, and Rabanne offers free delivery and returns. Smaller 1.7 and 3.4 oz sizes exist, but we could not verify their US prices. The scent dates from 2008 and was created by Christophe Raynaud, Olivier Pescheux and Michel Girard. We compared brand-published notes, sizes and prices and did not wear-test any fragrance.
