No.078 Lady Million

Eden's No.078 is inspired by Rabanne's Lady Million, the glamorous floral-oriental that built its reputation on unrestrained confidence and gold-drenched opulence. The dupe opens with neroli, Amalfi lemon and raspberry, echoing the original's honeyed fruit-floral entry, before moving into a jasmine, orange blossom and gardenia heart that carries the sophisticated, sensual character forward. Patchouli and amber round out the base, standing in for the original's richer honey-patchouli-amber accord. Where the genuine Rabanne fragrance is known for strong projection and a fiery, sensual character that some reviewers call almost aggressive, Eden's version is considerably more restrained - the florals read a touch more linear and the dry-down settles faster into a soft amber-musk finish rather than lingering with real depth. Still, the core neroli-jasmine-patchouli skeleton is recognisable, making this a workable option for anyone chasing the Lady Million mood for evening wear or a night out without the designer price tag, especially through autumn and winter when its warmth suits the season.
