1 Million (2008)
by Paco Rabanne

Have you guys ever smelled a ladies perfume Deep Red by hugo boss ? that's what it smells like with a touch of Joop jump & I also detect some notes simillar to Le Male. anyways, it is not a bad at all but could be used as unisex one, longevity & sillage are excellent as more than two sprays will lethal. just my two cents.

Bottle look like definition of tacky and looks like every chav out there got one buuuuut...
It's very well developed, interesting and complex juice, quite strong and nice longevity too +5h
I'd give it 7,5/10

EXCELLNT FRAGRANCE ONE OF THE BEST OF ALL TIMES FOR ME THEY GOT THIS ONE TO THE POINT..IM FEELING THAT CINIMON NOTE THAT STANDS OUT MASCULIN WITH A SWEET WOODY TOUCH.

I have been following this site for about an year now. Thought that now is the time to actually start adding some of my own reviews. Purchasing and owning perfumes is a passion for me. I along with my father and brother own close to 100 different bottles write now.

Now coming to the topic i.e review of 1 Million.
Talking about the bottle everyone says that it is odd. But atleast its different. Everyone I have shown the bottle to have straightaway got interested and inquired what perfume this is. As for the perfume itself I liked it very much the fist time I tried it approx 5 months back. Since then my likeness has grown even more. Let me tell you that 1 Million is definitely quite strong. I have a friend who wears it quite often in my office. The first time I smelled it on him I knew that he was wearing something which I have smelled before. On inquiring I got to know he had recently purchased the bottle of 1 Million. He also told me that he gets a lot of compliments from girls and that this cologne actually attracts women.

I think it has got good longevity and excellent sillage. It goes on for atleast 6-7 hours. On applying first , I get spicy roses kind of effect which is not surprising because it has roses and spice notes in the middle note. Grapefruit and Patchouli are two another notes that can be found in some other really nice colognes. I just wish that they had included a tobacco note to make it even more nicer. If you read the other reviews here you will notice that a lot of people like this cologne but have surprisingly given it only a neutral rating. A lot of you also feel this smells a bit synthetic. Synthetic or not this is one great cologne. I read somewhere else wherein one professional reviewer has included this cologne in the category of JPG Le Male / Joop Homme / Givenchy Pi. Those of you who know about these three colognes will understand that the above 3 are supposed to be among the strongest with amazing sillage. Infact i myself have a bottle of Le Male and Joop. 1 Million is the kind of cologne that grows on you. Go buy it if you like it. Chances are that you will often pick it up first amongst the bunch of all you own.

As for me I am simply in love with this one.
Perfume - 10/10
Strength - 9/10
Longevity - 7/10

1 Million smells very generic and synthetic, and the bottle is as tacky as hell. But I’m giving this a neutral, instead of a thumbs down, because the juice actually has some strength and is not watered down like all the other wishy-washy designer scents currently being released. Hopefully, this is an indication that there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

Even though I don’t like it, you have to give credit where credit’s due...

The bottle is really tacky-looking, but the juice does a little better. The fruity and floral opening is actually quite pleasant. The dry-down is a tad more herbal, but remains rather sweet. Apart from its above average longevity, this can be a little generic IMO. Would have preferred a little aquatic notes to balance out the sweetness. Wouldn't buy it though.
