We now come to the irresistible oriental floral Lady Million Privé. The nose behind this hypnotic fragrance is Anne Flipo, who produced this intriguingly dark and attention-grabbing yet intimate feminine fragrance. Presented in an extremely eye-catching gold-coloured flacon in the shape of a cut diamond. Looks as classy as it smells. Presented in the same golden cut diamond-shaped flacon as the original fragrance, with the words’ Absolutely Gold’ engraved on the top. The colour of the fragrance that can be seen from the underside glass and is richer than the original. Lady Million Absolutely Gold Eau de Parfum is a seductive blend of delicious raspberries, and white floral notes enveloped in a complex base of warm spices. Absolutely gold is pure parfum which provides greater longevity and note intensity than EDT and EDP. Lady Million Empire Eau de Parfum is the attention-hungry quirky sister of the original fragrance. Crafted by Anne Flipo and Jean-Christophe Herault, this vampish chypre floral fragrance adds a layer of boozy fruits to the originals DNA.

Lady Million opens brightly with sparkling citrus balanced with sweet raspberry and a hint of neroli. A trio of white florals, namely jasmine, gardenia and orange flower blooms beautifully and slightly powdery. Once settled, a sensual base of rich honey and intoxicating patchouli lift the entire fragrance. Warm amber slowly creeps in to add mystery. The opening is delicious, with notes of juicy raspberry and orange blossom. A huge heart of sweet and slightly green jasmine soon develops to give a real retro-vintage vibe. Upon dry-down, a woody/musky aroma of cashmeran adds a splash glamour with rich, spicy, fruity, vanilla tones. Absolutely Gold shares much of the same DNA as the original LM, but has the volume dial cranked up to 11. As for when to wear, with its warming notes, I feel Privé is more suited to autumn/winter and nudging into spring. Can be worn for any occasion, from an elegant evening out to a cosy night in by the fire.Presented in a taller version of the golden coloured cut diamond-shaped flacon with a lighter coloured perfume. Looks very pretty and I prefer this bottle style to the original. The longevity of Lady Million was far better than I expected, 7+ hours on the skin with decent sillage and projection. Impressive. Opening with a burst of fresh citrus from orange and grapefruit entwined with sweet mango, Eau My Gold! feels like summertime in a bottle right from the start. The heart of romantic, powdery violet and soapy orange blossom is staggeringly beautiful. A musky base adds a touch of intrigue and glamour, with woody notes and warming amber clearly present. I feel Eau My Gold! stands on its own rather than a flanker of the original.

Presented in a chocolate brushed-metal coloured version of the Lady Million cut diamond-shaped flacon with the words LADY and PRIVE in gold. Gives a dark and sensual vibe.The longevity of Lady Million Privé is relatively long-lasting at 5+ hours on the skin with reasonable sillage and projection. Will need the odd top-up but well worth the effort.
