6 Best Lady Million Perfumes
We’ve selected 6 of the best Lady Million perfumes that offer a stunning combination of fruits, white florals and sensual woods and musks.
1. Lady Million
Review
After the colossal success of the men’s classic 1 Million, it was inevitable that a striking feminine fragrance would follow. The original fruity-floral Lady Million Eau de Parfum is just that. With the most prominent fragrance masters in the business; Anne Flipo, Beatrice Piquet, Dominique Ropion and Bruno Jovanovic, you know you are in for something unique.
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.
As for when to wear, Lady Million is an any-season evening fragrance which is equally suitable in the daylight hours of autumn/winter. Best worn when you are all dressed up and ready to impress.
The longevity of Lady Million was far better than I expected, 7+ hours on the skin with decent sillage and projection. Impressive.
Presented in an extremely eye-catching gold-coloured flacon in the shape of a cut diamond. Looks as classy as it smells.
Overall, Lady Million Eau de Parfum is a glamorous white floral fragrance intermingled with raspberry and smooth honey. Stunning

2. Lady Million Empire
Review
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.
The opening of this fragrance is sweet citrus, berries and bittersweet neroli. A heart of white florals includes magnolia, orange blossom and osmanthus add a sensual creaminess and blends with plum. Upon dry-down, the intoxicating earthy scent of patchouli is drenched in a sumptuously thick boozy base. Breathtakingly good
Patience is needed when wearing this fragrance, as the full extent of the base doesn’t reveal itself for 20 minutes or so.
As for when to wear, the boozy profile of thus fragrance lends itself well to late afternoon onwards and into the early hours. Lady Million Empire is suitable for any season and deserves to be worn when you are dressed up.
The longevity of Lady Million Empire is excellent, 6+ hours on the skin with reasonable sillage and projection. Certainly long enough to get you noticed.
Presented in a deep metallic-pink version of the now-classic Lady Million cut diamond-shaped flacon.
Overall, Lady Million Empire is an addictive combination of boozy white florals and fruits. A seriously bold and sexy fragrance.

They say you make your own luck with the decisions you make.

Let your mind wander with this daring combination of woody floral tones with delicious gourmet notes.
Lady Million Lucky opens with a wave of honey-covered raspberry that is almost good enough to eat. Soon a heart of powdery rose and sweet and slightly green jasmine bloom to mingle with deep hazelnut notes. A captivating base of woods adds an undercurrent of intrigue when fully dry.
As for when to wear, Lady Million Lucky is an extremely versatile fragrance that is perfect for almost any season or situation. Give yourself an uplifting spray whenever you need the positivity to take that next giant leap.

4. Lady Million Privé
Review
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.
Lady Million Privé Eau de Parfum opens quite sharply for a few moments then evolves into a heady combination of bitter-chocolate coated raspberry sweetened with honey. The slightly almond scent of heliotrope also creeps in. The chocolate notes intensify over the next 20 minutes and met with beautifully smooth vanilla, earthy patchouli and light woody notes. Once fully settled, Privé becomes a warm and comforting mix of dark chocolate, honey and intoxicating patchouli entwined with vanilla. Fantastically dark and mysterious.
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.
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.
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.
Overall, Lady Million Privé is one of the best all-rounders in the Lady Million collection. It is a classy combination of honey-coated dark chocolate with intoxicating patchouli that is suited for both elegant evenings out and casual-wear too.

Orange Blossom, Honey, Raspberry

5. Lady Million Absolutely Gold
Review
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.
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, I personally found this fragrance to be perfect for any season. Its warmingly spiced base works well in autumn/winter, yet it’s fruity/floral notes are equally happy in spring/summer.
The longevity of Lady Million Absolutely Gold is excellent at 8+ hours on the skin with heavy sillage and projection. Just does to show that you get what you pay for as this pure parfum version performs well.
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.
Overall, Lady Million Absolutely Gold is a classy and captivating white floral feminine fragrance that has a real vintage feel yet is modern and sophisticated. A true crowd-pleaser that generates compliments galore.
Top Notes:

Mid Notes:

6. Lady Million Eau My Gold!
Review
Lady Million Eau My Gold! is the fresher and lighter Eau de Toilette version in the Lady Million collection. Bursting with delightful fruits, flowers and woods, this is the perfect LM fragrance for everyday use.
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.
As for when to wear, this captivating fragrance seems tailor-made for spring/summer, although perhaps more daytime than evening wear. Perfect for summer parties, long walks, shopping trips, and relaxed lunches.
The longevity of Lady Million Eau My Gold! is 4+ hours on the skin with light sillage and projection. Perfect for daytime use when you want to smell lovely but not clear the room.
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.
Overall, Lady Million Eau My Gold! is a lighter interpretation of the original LM fragrance but less sweet and more floral. Does have a rather silly name, but that’s the only negative thing I can say as its actually a pretty but not too girly feminine fragrance. Highly recommended and grossly underrated.
