Paco Rabanne 1 Million Eau de toilette 100ml, $99.99
A classic scent for a reason, 1 Million is a supremely structured warm, spicy fragrance.

Don’t be fooled by its bargain price point, CR7, which the football heavyweight launched five years ago, is a delightful aromatic fragrance with top notes of lavender, cardamom, artemisia and bergamot.
