P01 — 1 Million: Golden Ambition
1 Million hits with an audacious, honeyed flash: a spicy cinnamon and blood-orange spark that quickly melts into warm, gourmand tonka and amber. The heart unfolds as a creamy, caramel-like body with a metallic, almost coin-like shimmer. The base is deeply resinous with a faint leathery echo, giving the scent a confident, trophy-room presence. Best suited for night events, celebrations, and moments when you want a bold, sweetly opulent signature. LSI: gourmand cologne, warm amber, long-lasting evening scent.
P02 — Invictus: Victory Wave
Invictus is the scent of physical triumph — a salty sea-spray freshness layered over bright grapefruit and aromatic bay leaf. The mid notes present a fresh, ozonic core with a metallic tonic that reads energetic and youthful. The drydown brings a mildly sweet, amber-cedar base that keeps it wearable after workouts or daytime adventures. Ideal for daytime, summer outings, and sporty confidence. For a modern twist, compare with greener, edgier picks like Nitro Green Dumont for men. LSI: aquatic cologne, summer men’s fragrance, sporty eau de toilette.
P03 — Phantom: Futuristic Sweetness
Phantom embraces synthetic gourmandism — think neon vanilla with a creamy almond accord and a zing of citrus sparkle that creates a playful, almost confectionery personality. The texture is silky and plush, with a drydown that offers sweet benzoin and warm musk. This is a youthful, trend-driven choice for nights out and modern street style; avoid heavy heat where the sweetness can overpower. LSI: modern gourmand, synthetic vanilla, club fragrance.
P04 — Black XS: Rebel Smoke
Black XS leans into toasty, smoky tobacco and bitter coffee facets balanced by a powdery floral sweetness. The fragrance evokes a dim-lit lounge — smoky embers with a warm leather undercurrent — delivering a rebellious but refined vibe. Best for autumnal evenings and creative social scenes where a gritty, textured scent reads as intriguing rather than sweet. LSI: tobacco cologne, smoky leather, moody night scent.
P05 — Cologne Intense: Crisp Citrus Steel
This variant presents a polished citrus opening — sharp bergamot and green mandarin — wrapped in an aromatic pow of rosemary and vetiver. The sensation is clean, metallic, and slightly herbal, making it excellent for professional settings or daytime meetings when you need clarity and presence without heaviness. Pair it with lighter seasonal picks for variety. LSI: citrus aromatic, office-friendly cologne, fresh vetiver.
P06 — Olympéa (men’s flankers): Mythic Salted Sweetness
These flankers flirt with contrasts: salted vanilla ribbons against sharp, saline-amber accents, producing a mythic, almost olfactory trophy that’s inviting and slightly challenging. Ideal for romantic evenings and colder months when the salt-sweet interplay warms up into a rich, tactile trail. LSI: salty vanilla, sensual amber, date-night fragrance.
P07 — Intense Leather Editions: Rugged Elegance
Leather editions amplify the deep, tannic leather heart with smoky wood and earthy, soil-tinged vetiver. The effect is masculine and tactile — like wearing a well-worn leather jacket beside a bonfire. Perfect for rugged, autumn or winter wear and formal-casual hybrids where tactile masculinity matters. LSI: leather cologne, woody drydown, rugged scent.
P08 — Sport/Light Editions: Daytime Clarity
Sportier releases strip back to essentials: clean citrus, airy ozonic notes, and a soft musk base. These read as invigorating and low-residue on the skin — superb for travel, gym-to-gathering transitions, and humid climates where heavy notes falter. LSI: fresh sport cologne, summer-friendly men’s scent, casual perfume.
P09 — Niche Collaborations & Flankers: Experimental Edge
Paco Rabanne’s experimental flankers explore resinous metallics, gourmand-metal fusions, and smoky-amber hybrids — each designed to push boundaries. Whether it’s a resinous, amber-drenched core or a metallic, ozonic shock, these variants are for collectors who want a statement piece. For bold modern alternatives and high-projection options, check selections like Nitro Elixir Dumont for men. LSI: niche perfume, experimental cologne, collector’s fragrance.
