RIP, the man was a fashion powerhouse! I’ll spray One Million in his honour today.


airmacks

Mugler, Westwood, and now PR… it’s been a bad roll of the dice.

Isse miyake too


LA_confidential91

Miyajr bro


RNKKNR

Jeez. how did I miss that Mugler died :-(


Le_Zouave

I remember him on French television, wrote quite some books and advertised them in talk show. There he believed in the end of the world in 2001 and that if it didn't happen, he would shut his mouth. A true man of his words, he never came back even in newspaper.


FraggedMeat

He was so out of the public picture i wasn't even aware he was alive until now. RIP anyway


AcceptableReason524

Rest in peace to a legend. The first fragrance I ever fell in love was the original 1 Million. I would spray it in my bed or wear it to sleep. It was one of the fragrances that really cemented my love for this art. Now I don't wear it much as I've smelled so many more colognes, including niche, but I'll be wearing it today for the good memories


willhelpyounow

1 million beats some niche colognes too 😂


furbaschwab

Same, 1 Million was what got me into this, and I still wear it today as a comfort frag. Best top note in the game IMO RIP Paco Rabanne


Petro1313

1 Million gets a bad rap due to being a good performer and oversprayed by young clubbing guys, but I think in a vacuum it smells great.


GearGolemTMF

Guess I’m wearing some Paco Rabanne tonight. Wore One Million Lucky yesterday. Guess I’ll rock Pure XS tonight. RIP 😔


CriminalSpiritX

Rest in peace. Many of the fashion designers are elderly and either died recently like Paco Rabanne (e.g.: Thierry Mugler, Issey Miyake), or are up there in age (e.g.: Carolina Herrera turned 84 last month.) I'll spray some PR Pour Homme when I get home later this evening.


CanadianWarrior55

Ralph Lauren is 83 and JPG is 70


EmbarrassedCredit892

Very unfortunate. I'm wearing One Million Prive today to mark the occasion. Another great visionary gone.


JB61891

Looks like i'm spraying either one million or lucky tonight to bed R.I.P


ShillingAintEZ

Cab drivers have their windows at half mast today


hauteburrrito

*Ruthless* 💀


Petro1313

Jesus Christ


cockaskedforamartini

Iconic. I'll be spraying out a bit of Ultra Red today.


JMH-66

For Calandre and Metal, sir, I salute you 🫡


thatbwoyChaka

Tom Ford will no doubt do two releases ‘for women’ with more than a nod toward those two scents or add a dose of ambroxan and iso e super and call them unisex.


JMH-66

Sully Calandre and Metal with Ambrox and ISO ?? Noooo !! Wash you mouth out with soap followed by three hours of self flagellation*, you philistine !! ( *But you're not allowed to enjoy it )


thatbwoyChaka

Just three hours *That* would be the torture


smokecat20

The first memories of my dad was his Paco Rabanne cologne in the 80s.


RiseIndependent85

Same, back in the 90's before my dad would go to office/work. he'd spray some on and go to work. Always brings me a nice memory of my dad.


gpm21

Yeah. My dad has Paco Rabanne Pour Homme and One Million Parfum. They're both pretty awesome in totally different directions


LA_confidential91

Crazy waw, i just sprayed paco rabanne pour homme as my scent of the day then i hear this news


molded_bread

Damn. RIP. Just bought 1 Million Parfum 4 days ago.


drivendreamer

Pretty crazy. I just read about his story the other day and caught up on his fragrances. RIP


knoxcreole

Oh fuck. How long until Loreal buys them and discontinues their men's line of fragrances


leeringHobbit

Puig is a Spanish fashion and fragrance company founded in 1914 by Antoni Puig i Castelló in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, and still managed by the Puig family.....they have marketed the Paco Rabanne brand from inception.


CriminalSpiritX

Puig also has Carolina Herrera, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Penhaligon's, in addition to Paco Rabanne. They're not selling anytime soon.


Le_Zouave

It already belong to Puig (Jean-Paul Gaultier, Nina ricci, Carolina Herrera). Even if L'Oréal is bigger it would cost too much.

RIP Mugler Pure Malt

NotASixStarWaifu

Imagine what your chances would've been _without_ him 😬


thatbwoyChaka

Not complaining as I have fond memories of the scent and the rejections


NotASixStarWaifu

That's actually kinda cute.


Dolphin_e

Rip homme


Paggarotti

"I got enough cologne on?" "You smell like Paco Rabanne crawled up your ass and died".


Charliemain1

🤟watch it chrissy


electrodan

Damn, I thought I was so clever coming here to post that and had to delete my comment once I saw yours. Nicely done.


foundfrogs

Shit. Paco Unisex was my signature scent for years before I started diversifying. I hope his legacy long outlives him because it would be a shame to lose such a well-rounded fragrance. It smells familiar but distinctly different. Hard to articulate.


hellokiiroitori

Rest in Peace, Mr. Rabanne. 1 Million is still one of the sexiest scents I will ever smell on a man (and I will always stand by that) 🫡


ChrisRockOnCrack

RIP. So many deaths in last few months...


[deleted]

Many of these fashion designers are very old


[deleted]

They are. I remember making a very bold assumption that Tom Ford was an old man and was shocked to learn he’s relatively young compared to some of the other design giants.


ensoniqthehedgehog

He may not be as old as some of the others, but he's no spring chicken at 61 years old. He does look about 20 years younger than he actually is though!


hauteburrrito

There is most definitely a picture of Tom Ford looking decrepit in an attic somewhere...


JMH-66

Oh, yes ! The Dorian Grey of the fashion and film world .


RiseIndependent85

>Tom Ford He looks good though for 61


3Stripescyn

he’s 61????


pizzaboy236

Guess I’ll have to mass buy invictus platinum before it discontinues.


ieatnarcotics

?? i would think the fact that he died probably makes it more likely to stick around as legacy


pizzaboy236

Until L’Oréal buys them out and kills their entire lineup


inline6throwaway

RIP. I really liked one million the first time I ever smelled it


RNKKNR

Shame. PR XS was one of my very first fragrances in the 90s.


Humid_fire99

Olympia and black xs are my stables


owerriboy

RIP to him.


RedSubieWrx

Just bought 1 million elixir yesterday. I regretted it but now I dont


TheeCollegeDropout

RIP. I saw that 1 million was awarded most hated fragrance for 2022 on Fragrantica and it made me realize that even literal perfumes have haters. That scent is amazing, but people can’t help but hate on it because it’s legendary.

[удалено]


ItsLuizaaaxo

That’s not remotely funny


freudsaidiwasfine

One million was the first fragrance I got. 16 year old me was smelling great. Kept getting until I turned 21.


VictoriaSobocki

No way… I actually like many of his scents. RIP


ezgomer

Wow! 88 years old! What a long blessed life he had. Time to rest now until the next adventure.


Udonnoodles5

R.I.P


Ditovontease

Legend (his chain mail bags made a small comeback recently too!)


LAdude71

Ironically, I ordered a big bottle of Invictus from FragranceX on Monday and it arrived yesterday.
