by Paco Rabanne
Paco Rabanne 1 Million is a bold, sweet, and spicy fragrance designed for warm, intimate settings. It opens with a vibrant burst of citrus and mint, followed by a prominent cinnamon note that gives it a candy-like sweetness. The heart blends warm leather, rose, and amber, creating a rich, sensual base that evolves into a warm, somewhat linear scent. It performs exceptionally, offering long-lasting projection and outstanding longevity—many describe it as lasting 12+ hours on skin and even longer on clothing. Quality and performance are consistently praised, with the fragrance being described as a 'monster' in terms of longevity and sillage. It is well-suited for colder seasons, night-time wear, and social gatherings, especially in clubbing or romantic contexts. The scent attracts attention, often leading to compliments, and appeals strongly to younger audiences and those who enjoy expressive, warm-profile fragrances. However, its widespread popularity can be divisive. Some find it overwhelming or synthetic, with notes that can shift from sweet and playful to overly sweet or cloying, particularly in hot weather. The bottle design is often criticized as flashy and mismatched with the scent’s overall warmth, and some users report visible degradation in newer batches, leading to concerns about consistency and reformulation.
