Eau de Toilette (EDT) from Rabanne.

Scent description (editorial impression)
Riot police could use it in place of stun grenades, one reviewer proposed in 2013: a fixture of late-2000s nightclubs, candied orange and cinnamon on a sweet, leathery amber. Fans report compliments and a trail that announces them; detractors find it cloying, indistinguishable from the spicy-woody ambers that followed it, or a triumph of marketing over the juice.

More from Rabanne
Invictus Eau de Toilette
Eau de Toilette (EDT). Grapefruit and a salty marine accord sweetened almost to bubblegum: a teenage signature of the early 2010s, worn to the club, the office and the gym alike.
Lady Million Eau de Parfum
Eau de Parfum (EDP). Sweet, loud and glossy, this is the scent that, one wearer says, gets them followed around the office: raspberry and orange blossom drizzled with honey on jasmine and patchouli.
Fame Eau de Parfum
Eau de Parfum (EDP). A robot-shaped bottle holding juicy mango, jasmine and a creamy vanilla that wearers liken to a mango mousse or fruit ice cream, and two catch a coconut the house never lists.
Invictus Victory Elixir Parfum Intense
Parfum / Extrait. Vanilla and amber from the first spray, one owner writes, and it barely moves in eight hours; others find smoky incense and patchouli, a coconut from nowhere, or a vanilla ice cream that brought them more compliments than anything else.
1 Million Elixir Parfum Intense
Parfum / Extrait. A tart apple that turns to sweet vanilla and rose, as one daily wearer describes it, with an almost cinnamon edge that another traces to davana; to a third it smells like the sexiest couple you know.
Million Gold for Her Eau de Parfum
Eau de Parfum (EDP). For one reviewer the dry-down is the whole point: they smelled it on their boyfriend's chest, found that store strips could not match it, and bought a bottle once a stray spray landed on a finger.
1 Million Lucky Eau de Toilette
Eau de Toilette (EDT). Toasted hazelnut and honey meet a tangy plum and a grapefruit-bright opening, and two reviewers reach for the same image: sweet popcorn.
