Rich Oud - Insp by Paco Rabanne 1 million Oud
Paco Rabanne – 1 Million Oud is a dark, spicy, resinous oud‑amber twist on the iconic 1 Million DNA—richer, deeper, smokier, and far more luxurious than the original. It keeps the bold, attention‑grabbing character of the line but transforms it into something Middle‑Eastern‑inspired, opulent, and intense.
Below is a fully structured, accurate scent breakdown based on the official note pyramid and verified retailer data.
