It’s a whole other world within the One Million line. I have a special affection for it, even if it’s not my favorite scent. What I do know is that every time I wear it, someone asks who smells so good; the first hours deliver constant bursts of fragrance.
Finding a price point in this range that projects this much is tough, but the smell, already so basic and famous, eventually gets tiring. In my opinion, it’s an overused perfume, yet it remains a beast.
A very floral and elegant perfume, ideal for a fresh morning because it hugs you all day long. It has an incredible resemblance to the DO Son EDP.
Where has this perfume been all this time? I loved it! I must say, upon first spraying, it didn’t hit me hard; I didn’t see it as ‘special’ at all, but after 20 minutes, the magic began. Elegant, refined, versatile, and addictive. A 1 Million with more class and a serious edge. There’s no doubt Quentin Bisch never disappoints. Seeing his name among perfumers was a seal of guarantee.
It has nothing to do with the others in the line. It’s curious: a soft leather base, a strong gummy part like blackberry gum, another very prominent note like sunscreen, and a floral. It smells exactly like the bottle’s color. The 2022 batch was totally nuclear, lasting over 12 hours with brutal projection for the first 3. I sold it because it got on my nerves; it became too heavy and boring to wear.
Top quality-to-price ratio. I love them; they’re sweet and vanilla-like but without going overboard like the others. They give me a lot of confidence and last all day; I think it’s the 1 Million that lasts the longest, about 8 hours on skin and a week on clothes. It leaves a decent trail. It was one of the ones my circle loved the most, even though it’s very trendy now, which made me stop wearing it. In the end, it’s quite fulfilling.
The best 1 Million: the most niche, the most misunderstood, and the most original. To my taste, only the Million Gold Elixir surpasses it, but this remains more unique and daring. A gem in itself.
Simply spectacular. It’s an ultra-upgraded 1 Million with an impactful scent and wide projection. A top-tier perfume, one of my favorites.
Gold melts under the sun. 1 Million Parfum takes the formula that made the line iconic and takes it to another level: denser, warmer, and solar. From the start, it’s not just another flanker; it smells like grape gum with a salty solar-floral touch, amber resins, tropical sweetness, and white flowers that give it a luminous twist. Leather doesn’t dominate, but as it dries down, you notice it like suede. It’s less youthful and more opulent than the original. If 2008 was a night party, this is a luxury terrace at sunset. Excellent performance: 3-4 hours of intense projection and over 10-12 hours on skin. Paco Rabanne delivers again. It’s not cloying; the sweetness is more resinous and the solar touch keeps it airy. Technically masculine, but women wear it with personality if they’re looking for something bold. In short, it’s more mature and structured, not living off nostalgia.
The best 1 Million. Although I don’t use it anymore, it was my favorite of the entire line while I owned it. 1000 times better than the original.
Cheap Joyita: it drives some people crazy while others absolutely love it, but I adore it. It’s super elegant and masculine, smells divine, and lasts forever.
From the first spray, One Million Parfum screams personality, very different from the classic. Quentin Bisch gave it elegance and sophistication. Fresh, citrusy opening, followed by a floral heart with neroli that adds a feminine touch without losing masculinity, making it richer and more complex. Soft patchouli and leather add depth. Balanced, modern, and enveloping, warm without being overwhelming. Lasts a long time with moderate, consistent projection, ideal for those seeking versatility without being invasive. I use it year-round, day or night, to convey security and style. Duration: 9-10 hours. Projection: Moderate. Season: All year. My rating: 8.5/10. It challenges expectations with an incredible balance between freshness, flowers, and depth.
My cousin lent me his 200ml version, and at first, I was confused. I liked the sweetness and warmth, but something didn’t quite fit. Yesterday, comparing it with SWT Intensely, Invictus Victory Elixir, and One Million Elixir, I smelled it again, and it’s spectacular. My favorite from Paco Rabanne, sweet, warm, and rare, but a bomb for cold climates and very potent. Leaving aside the fanaticism, the performance is top-notch: strong from the first moment, you don’t need more than 8 sprays to project far. Lasts about 7 hours on skin, longer on clothes. It’s masculine due to that spicy warmth, though a woman could wear it. If you’re looking for something warm, sweet, and masculine, I recommend it 1000%. At the price of the 100ml (around $125), it’s worth every penny. Would I buy it blind? It’s like Russian roulette, but safe if you’re looking for something sweet for the cold.
My wife likes it more than I do. On my skin, it feels too feminine. Excellent perfume and performance, but too feminine for my taste. I didn’t have the same issue with Scandal, which is in the same discussion; compared to it, Scandal on me results in a better, more masculine scent.
A terrible perfume; I don’t understand where the listed notes are. To me, it smells like bubblegum. Very potent; if you apply it and sweat a bit, it stings your butt. A disaster; it has nothing to do with the rest of the line.
My younger brother always wore the original, but I didn’t pay attention because he had claimed it. When I smelled the Parfum version, I fell in love at first sniff. I liked it so much that I got a 10ml decant, and to my surprise, they even gave me the original bottle with the last remnants left. I walked away with a decant and a bottle with history. This gem is Solar Floral Leather, a sophisticated fusion of intense leather, elegant white flowers, and warm solar accords. Exotic, luxurious aroma, perfect for the day and warm climates, though it also shines at night. Bold, seductive personality with a beachy nuance; it never goes unnoticed. My final rating: 7.8/10.
If you buy it with your girlfriend, you’ll both use it up, and she’ll surely like it. The opening is feminine, but in 10 minutes, the floral neroli kick calms down, revealing a coconut scent like a bronzing cream that fits perfectly. Although they sell it for guys, I consider it unisex. Does it smell good? Extremely well. Does it perform? Very well. Would I grab it? Yes, if you like the One Million DNA, have spent on the original or Floueurs, are looking for something less potent, have no aromatic gender prejudices, and want something modern and stylish. Watch out, as the price has skyrocketed and they’re almost luxury products now.
Second review, and I like it more each time; it works for almost everything: day, night, cold, heat, informal, and even somewhat formal. I’m not brave enough to use it as a signature, but it’s an all-rounder. I had trouble finding the leather note they mention, but I found it, and it adds a frame that makes the composition unique. Among the 1 Million line, it’s undoubtedly the most original and least seen/used, at least where I live. A sweet and floral gem that goes from the beach to a winter party.
I’ll just say this: if you have the chance, try it when it’s very hot. It has a heavy, potent profile that suggests mid-seasons or cold, but OM Parfum has that solar note that smells like you’ve been soaking up the sun (ideal if you’re tanned). Just use a few sprays. 7/10, very good.
If you’re looking for something original, this is your cup of tea. It’s sweet, potent, and screams presence—perfect for grabbing attention. However, I don’t have much affection for it: that synthetic leather note is noticeable and gets tiring quickly. Ideal for nights or cool days. Don’t buy it blindly.
It’s the first 1 Million I’ve tried, and now I understand why many hate these versions. I’d define it as a good designer unisex, that’s about it. It reminds me of some Avon women’s scents, like Far Away; the women I’ve given it to have loved it. On skin and duration on clothes, it’s good: more than 5 hours on skin and a couple of days on clothes, I suppose more if they spray more than 5 times. I don’t perceive it as totally masculine, but rather unisex.
This is my go-to for hitting the bar or club; you always look sharp. It’s floral, sweet, and rich—I see it as unisex masculine. The longevity is impressive: 10 hours on skin and an absolute beast on clothes. I already own a second bottle and will buy again. If you like sweet florals, this is for you. It’s all-terrain, though it gives a 10 at night. Every time I want to switch up my night scent, I regret it and go back to ‘1 Million Parfum’. Among all night scents, it’s my favorite. Cheers.
I tested it with a few sprays, and it smells very much like Scandal EDT, but with the floral nuance of One Million.
A perfume delight. Quentin Bisch did an excellent job turning totally feminine notes into a masculine and elegant delight. Longevity is +12 and projection is top-notch for the first 3 hours; then it becomes a bubble that’s noticeable only when you get close. Don’t fear the neroli note and give it a try. It’s versatile, but don’t use it in the heat because the scent can become overwhelming.
Sweet and floral to no end. I heard the opening smells like grape gum, and I fully agree. You can detect some coconut and woods, and deep down, as it dries, a faint note of clean leather. In my opinion, it’s unisex leaning feminine. In terms of performance, it’s one of the most potent in my collection, both in projection and longevity; it projects a lot and lasts about 10 hours on skin. Personally, I don’t recommend buying without trying it, especially due to that marked feminine profile. But tastes and smells vary. EDIT: A downside to these ‘bricks’ is the atomizer; due to the bottle shape, it’s harder to spray comfortably. If we don’t press it well, it leaks like a hose.
It was the first original fragrance I used and the one that introduced me to perfumery. Honestly, the first time I smelled it, I got a beach sunscreen vibe, but very sweet and cloying. At first, I thought it was a woman’s scent, but as I used it, I fell more in love. It’s not for daily wear, so it’s not my signature, but I do use it at night because where I live it gets very hot and it can be overwhelming. My rating: 8/10.
One of the most popular men’s fragrances, thanks to the bottle, marketing, or advertising, but undoubtedly what makes it irresistible is its exquisite aroma, which fluctuates between floral and leather. Ideal for young people but also for those over 30. It’s a powerhouse scent with great sillage and longevity that projects well from a distance, lasting all day or night effortlessly. Caution when applying: the bitter resinous notes can become overwhelming if over-concentrated. Its only downside is its massiveness; it’s recognizable at first sniff.
Excellent for the bar, club, or disco. It’s a scent that usually pleases the majority, ideal for grabbing attention in nightlife settings and for men who aren’t afraid to wear scents that aren’t strictly masculine. Highly recommended for young people. Longevity and projection are lower than expected; I don’t know if it was always like this or if there were new formulations. Although it’s ideal for parties, it’s the most versatile 1 Million on the market; it works perfectly on non-hot days and afternoons.
I knew this was a turning point in the line, leaning floral. The perfume feels high quality, but in my perception, it seemed excessively feminine, more than I tolerate. I’m not surprised by the good ratings; it’s quite good, but it’s not for me.
Very good, but excessively sweet. If you wear it on a hoodie, it lasts up to a month. In my experience, it feels like an aged sweet, but over time, I detect a public restroom smell. Still, I recommend it.
