I have to say in marketing point of view 1 million did very well for Paco Rabanne it was the hit he needed in a long time. It is for the new young crowd what his Pour Homme was to the 70's young crowd.

Congrats is in order.

Take your point and readily acknowledge the huge sales of 1 Million but cannot help thinking "Fragrance of the Decade" is somewhat over the top. If the voting was based on commercial success then I'd have to relent and agree. Otherwise - thumbs down !.

I also think that 1 million victory in based on commercial success.
It's rather safe and non-controversial perfume so for me the true winners are ppl from publicity department of Paco Rabanne.
