Description

One Million Lucky Eau de Toilette is announced as a pulsating and captivating scent of woody and gourmand tones. It is described as fresh, vivid and sensual. Hazelnut note enriches the composition of woody elements, with fresh ozone combined with Greengage plum.
It is available as a 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

A pleasant surprise as far as 1 Million scents go – probably the nicest of the entire bunch. I get a gourmand peaches and cream vibe, with an oversweet honey, a light suede-like scent and some slight fresh notes in the mix. I find this a bit too sweet for my liking and there are other scents I prefer for fall like Pure Havane, Ultra Zest, Creation-E, etc. I could easily see this being a compliment getter, though
brad422322 – :
Absolutely rejected fragrance. To my nose too sweet! the marriage between honey and hazelnut is nothing short of cloying. I was expecting something different from the original because I do not like cinnamon but unfortunately I have to say that both this and the classic have totally disappointed me. TOTAL DELUSION!

My 1 million lucky bottle is coming in some days about 12 days and i wil give u my full revieuw of this amazing sweet woody nutty honey fragrance
fwo871Unlogrere – :
Update: Now that I’ve had this scent for a few months, I just wanted to touch back up on it. This has quickly made it into my top three most complimented scents, and I fucking love it. I love the opening, dry down is nice but that first hour or so is magic. Only other colognes I own that reach the same amount of compliments is CH Men Prive and Creed Aventus. I feel like if I could only own three colognes, those would be the three right now. Aventus for power, Prive for seduction, and Lucky for “Fuckable.” Basically, One Million Lucky is how a girl wants to have her sheets smell when you leave in the morning.
Also, the person below who claims this is an ambroxan bomb really needs to smell this next to coach for men or sauvage, real ambroxan bombs.
batalbey – :
I want to settle a Quick Ambroxane debate:
There is No Soapy Ambroxane in 1 Million Lucky.
There is however, an an airy Aldehyde or I assume what the “Ozonic notes” is, this can give an impression of an Ambroxane.
I do agree there is a strong similarity to the Gourmand Tiramisu Ferragamo Uomo, due to the heavy used of EthylMaltol to replicate desert-like smell. I suspect he may have confused Soapy Ambroxane with Sugary EthylMaltol that is used in every gourmand fragrances.
Peace Out!.

no amber even in it!!
Aaekk – :
pure ambroxan? ok dood i’m just gonna call bs, it’s not that it doesn’t use ambroxan or ambergris or maybe even a combo of that + aldehyde idk but if you were to say such a hyperbole statement like that I’d say you don’t know what ambroxan smells like at all!
Go pick up Molecule02 and tell me if 1 Mill Lucky smells like it, I have them both and you are spewing some nonsense now
I’m all for ppl being free to express themselves but this is suppose to be a review that is suppose to ‘maybe’ help ppl; this fragrance is not 100% pure ambroxan, like that’s a load of dog poo.
Coach for Men, Sauvage, even Invictus Aqua (maybe you are confusing it for 1 million lucky idk?) i mean almost any ‘bleu’/freshie that has come out in the past 2 years, those are without a doubt high in ambroxan.
This fragrance has it (or some form of it for sure, or a combination) but it adds to the scent, not detracting from it!
This scent has it’s versatility because that airy note keeps the sweetness from being overbearing much like how the original 1 Million was overly sweet, Lucky balances that sweetness with a airy freshness that supports (keyword is support) the main notes of sweet honey, supple plum and hazelnut + wood, without that airy note this would go into a gourmand territory that P.R. clearly didn’t want to go too deep into.

…right. Where to begin.
The reviewer below me left an earlier review for this fragrance in August (?) mentioning, and I (sadly) quote, “this is like if you took a Bath in Honey/Hazelnut and a few other nice woody notes”.
They then spend the rest of their review talking about how effective it’ll be at getting you closer to ‘the ladies’.
…
I’ve been wearing this for around three hours now and I can categorically say that is does *not*, in any conceivable, possible way, resemble taking a bath in honey, or hazelnut.
This fragrance is 100%, pure Ambroxan. Any other notes die very quickly in the opening. Then you are left with Ambroxan.
If you (and your ‘ladies’) love Ambroxan, you will love this fragrance.
I, however, do not.
Gusarrydjx – :
if ppl say this is a Ambroxan bomb then i would just say they have a very weird nose. When this has such blatant sweetness and woody notes that aren’t subtle at all i would say calling this ambroxan heavy is pretty weird.
Thats like putting this next to Sauvage and saying they both smell the same, like, what?
i mean does it have some in it? sure it could but it would be way way in the back behind everything else.
This thing opens wicked heavy with hazelnut it’s basically it’s most unique aspect, as it dries it becomes more of a woody/honey scent with a touch of plum.
If you smell this and say it begins and ends with ambroxan i mean just wow that sounds like crazy talk; for sure it has a airiness about it that could be ambroxan but it’s in the background and it’s pretty light also.
Maybe if you oversprayed this and then stood in a closed room with no windows or ventilation you might feel it is Ambroxan heavy but that is such a extreme situation.
Many fragrance’s use Ambroxan or something similar so i wouldn’t say this doesn’t use something like Ambroxan or ambroxan itself but it for sure isn’t really the main focal point in this fragrance, it’s not even in the top 3
worloc – :
Oh dear…
Ambroxan.
Not ‘hazelnut’, definitely not honey, nor plums.
Ambroxan is the top note, and thus, the fragrance begins and ends here – a massive disappointment considering the note pyramid listed. Given this line though, and this house in particular, I should have expected as much.
Lucky is a slightly sweetened Ambroxan, an extremely chemical ingredient I am getting sick of seeing in higher-end fragrances. I find it disgusting and intolerable.
How do I know? Smell Salvatore Ferragamo’s Uomo – a supposedly ‘deserty’ tiramisu fragrance. It’s literally exactly the same note, and it also happens to be present in a dozen other mass-produced mens designer fragrances.
Please don’t be fooled by the note pyramid, or other reviews and DEFINITELY try before you buy. I don’t find Ambroxan appealing in the slightest and judging by that dislike bar, neither do others.
Oh and if you don’t believe me, hit CTRL+F to find a dozen other reviews on this page mentioning Ambroxan in this fragrance.
Lucky? Not this time.

how is this compared to the prive version??
aelz – :
★ Updated 2nd Review ★
+ best 1 Million flanker by far (yes, even better than prive)
+ best clubbing fragrance (challenge JPG Ultra♂, beat Eros)
+ Beastly projection (like a modern Joop! Homme)
+ Stunning Longevity (I smell it 7 days later doing laundry)
(-) Do NOT blind buy – must test it on SKIN (not paper)
(-) can get Cloying fast, open sweet & dry even sweeter
(-) Not for Mature Men nor Women. Lean “Girly” rather than feminine
★ Paradox to ♂ Armani Stronger with You ★
I Hate Armani Stronger w/you, but it stay Masculine on me
I ♥ 1 Million Lucky, but I can’t wear it it remains ‘girly’ on me
★ I wear many Mature Women perfume ★
[ TF Black Orchid ] is one of my most complimented scent
[ TF Velvet Orchid ] stay masculine due to its Boozy rum
[ Marc Jacob Decadence ] Plummy Vevtiver Papyrus is stunning on men. Yet I am unable to wear 1 Million Lucky. Its not feminine, but ‘girly’.
★ Please TEST IT on Skin ★ don’t listen to anyone (even me)
1 Million Lucky = is an extreme SUBJECTIVE fragrance:
• Some men will ♥ it
• Some men will Hate it, and
• Some men will ♥ it but cannot wear it
to each their own, I just want to share my 0.02 cents. Peace Out!
My experience is very similar to (Signore_Limone Perfume) review several post below
zirf – :
I’m reading a lot of reviews here and I have to disagree.
To me 1 million lucky is, by far, the best of the 1 million line. Much much better than privé and original.
I like 1 million privé, it’s a good fragrance, but this 1 million lucky to me is much much better.
It is sweet, but not overly sweet. It’s nutty, but not overly nutty. And for example, with 1 million privé I never had got a compliment. By the other hand, with 1 million Lucky I recieve a compliment every single time I wear it.
Try before you buy, but it’s a really solid fragrance.
fortuna22 – :
So after all the hype, I got myself one million lucky. I already have One million PRIVE which I feel is a masterpiece so I wanted to try this one to see how it feels like to have it on. I sprayed this perfume on my shirt and it stayed strong for the next 48 hours. The opening of One million lucky is amazing but the dry down is sickening. This perfume is too sweet for a man to have on. Thou One million Prive last about 6 to 8 hours, I still feel it is a much better and matured scent. There is nothing really special about One Million Lucky as the scent is kinda generic IMO.
Longevity ::: 10
Scent ::: 5
Sillage ::: 6
Projection:: 7
ronElellanymn – :
This fragrance is very sweet, I loved it at first but now I’m unfortunately getting very sick of it.
The opening is very nutty and the dry down is mainly honey. Projection is very good for 1 hour, silage is fantastic and longevity is about 5 hours.
Don’t get me wrong the scent is nice but the sweetness gets very tiring. Before you buy this you should definitely get a sample and wear it a couple times to see if you get sick of it or not
Paco Rabanne is one of my favorite houses so I was kind of disappointed
RUNGER – :
This smells really nice but not too natural to my nose. It smells really nice on paper but on my skin, it’s just metallic synthetic. The composition falls completely apart :-(. Many designer frags do this on my skin – not all, but many.
sergeyqsz – :
I am amazed by how good this smell. A little sweet and gourmand. So good blended.
Санёк1980 – :
I smelled this at Macy’s, upon spraying, I got an instant blast of peanut and wood. It did smell sweet but not too much like the original. I do like it but I don’t really love it. I wouldn’t mind having it in my collection but I probably wouldn’t wear it a lot. It’s very different from your usual scent which does not make this a safe blind buy. Smell it first.
somiic – :
Saw this at Sephora and out of curiosity I just smelled the nozzle and got hit with the nastiest pee smell. I didn’t even bother spraying it after that initial smell gone all the way wrong, but it seems like I haven’t given this a fair chance if I don’t actually spray it. I’m assuming that ‘pissy’ scent lingering on the nozzle is the grapefruit (my nose picks up on citrus notes in a pretty bad way), but the rest of this sounds decent, so I’ll give it another full spray sniff the next time I’m in Sephora. Lady Million Lucky actually smells amazing to me and on me (my first well-behaved honey scent LOL), so I’ll give this one another chance soon…
superman85 – :
Le Lucky est une nouvelle reforme du classique 1million, il est beaucoup plus sucrée avec un coté plus boisé, c’est vrai qu’il ressemble un peu au Black xs l’excès surtout, mais avec le style 1 million comme base, longévité est projection modérer, 3h a 4h de projection environs…
bon a sentir, surtout si vous aimez le sweet …
bien apprécier aussi, est encore plus par les personnes qui ont u le classique
qlu300Diobtetty – :
A very interesting scent that I did enjoy testing out but unfortunately I’m just sick f the whole semi fresh/sweet genre of frags that have been trending as of late. However, I did think this was 1 of the better sweet frags.
Lucky opens up with that typical Polo Red,Versace eros type of profile but this has a very unique twist as it’s very juicy and more interesting as well as pleasant. You start with that juicy,sweet fruity opening but then as this dries down it gets warmer and more rich with that hazelnut note. When I first smelled this I didn’t think I was going to enjoy this but when that rich,hazelnut and honey came into play I started enjoy this more. Once the drydown hits this kind of smells like a cheesecake to my nose ! Which it smells great but Idk if this scent matches what I really want to portray in a fragrance. None the less, still a great fragrance and for those that like gourmands this is a must try !
Performance on this was great as it lasted 6-10 hours and with 4 sprays from a decant this projected very heavily for 2 hours and was a nice scent bubble for the duration of the scent life.
Overall rating—7 out of 10 ! Great and interesting scent but doesn’t match my own personal taste. Still a great scent though !
mishajakivciv – :
very beautiful fragrance.
Hazelnuts, honey, plums and tonka but dilluted with citrus and ozonic notes. Well balanced freshness / sweetness / thickness ..
Synthetic yes; but it is Ladies killer, excellent performer, very crowd pleaser and has an amazing sillage.
This is the best in the one million linup by far.

★ Peach Cobbler over Hazelnut Coffee ★
As many other reviewer have noticed, I too smell a dominating strong PEACH note. The entire fragrance smells mouth-watering Delicious!. Best way I can describe are:
(1) Freshly baked Peach Cobbler with Hazelnut Coffe or
(2) Fresh slice of Peach over Honey Hazelnut cheerios.
★Amazing Projection & Longevity ★
Like the original 1 Million, Lucky is a BANGER that projects like a bomb. This fragrance has a KICK and you will definitely draw attention in the clubs. I prefer this over JPG UltraMale. On me, 1 Millon Lucky project further, last longer, and smell way better than JPG ultramale. I think this is the best of 1 Million Line as well. The original 1 Million is so overplayed that I can’t stand the fragrance anymore. Lucky take the 1 Million line into a new direction for a new generation. I think LUCKY is strong enough to stand on its own away from 1 Million. I would like to see a Lucky Aqua, or a darker spicier Lucky by Night like that of Azzaro Wanted by Night version.
★ Warning: not suitable on mature Men or Women ★
I ♥ 1 Million Lucky but it lean very Feminine on me with a strong Girly Vibe. When I spray it, I could almost see unicorn, hello kitty, and Barbie’s playhouse in my mind. I feel 1 Million Lucky is only suitable on young teenage girls; its not for mature enough for older men or women to carry it. I wish I was 20yrs younger to wear it, but as a 40 yrs old guy, I cannot rock this. I’ll wait for a Darker Noir version.
er12 – :
I absolutely love this fragrance! First off this is not your typical flanker! When I say that let’s look at Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male. And it’s many flankers. Those are all classic flankers from ultra to fresh they are all pretty much le male with a twist or a few changed notes. But same common le male DNA. Or all new notes to reinterpret the original. With that in mind One Million Prive was a perfect flanker. It had that one million DNA with added Tabacco. Really nice. This fragrance however is not your classic flanker. It smells nothing like the original one million. This could have been a whole new fragrance. And held out on its own. This is an example of a fragrance that is piggybacking of a popular name. But that’s okay lol I actually love the bottle it’s super sharp. Now for the smell unlike the original and Prive they where more dark. Lucky is juicy it has a wonderful note of plum. With a very light hazelnut note and fresh kinda woody base. But what Is that the plum note doesn’t just die off. I also own black xs by Paco Rabanne which I also love. These are nothing alike for those who wonder. I actually sprayed them both on two different shirts to see if there was any resemblance and I mean maybe if i just don’t even smell for like a second lol but as soon as you smell these they are way way way different. Lucky like I said has a very noticeable plum note it’s sweet fruity woody. Black xs to me I find lemon, sage , praline. It’s sweet rich
wilman – :
Twice better than the original one million also better than prive this is sweet smooth creamy nutty honey fruty nothing like eros or invictus or black xs this has alot of honey nutty plum and wood
MrGold84 – :
Got this cologne after smelling it in Macy’s, very good and my girlfriend loved it. I only smelled it on paper, but buying it before putting it on skin was a mistake. The cologne still smelled good, but there is something in this cologne I had a bad reaction to. I was in bed for two days throwing up and didn’t start feeling better until I washed the cologne off. (Of course at first I didn’t think it was the cologne, I thought I ate something extremely bad.) but tonight I was with my girlfriend, (who loves the scent) so I decided to wear it and once again I got extremely nauseas on the verge of throwing up with horrible stomach cramps. I immediately hopped in the shower scrubbed my entire body raw and washed my hair through and after an additional 30 minutes of feeling horrible the nausea, feeling of throwing up, and stomach cramps disappeared. The fragrance is nice smells good and my girlfriend loves it, but there is something in here…
zakevgeniy – :
I went and sampled it at my local Macy’s and fell so much in love with the opening that I bought the 200 ml bottle. The girl I was with said she literally wanted to lick it off. Projection for me is around an hour to an hour and a half, and maybe 4-6 hours of longevity as a skin scent. I don’t mind longevity issues because I do prefer to have atomizers of whatever I’m wearing (luck favors the prepared.)
If you’re looking into this, it’s definitely a sweet, albeit not an overwhelming scent. Dry down is pretty good, but the talking points are definitely in the opening in my opinion. Might be one of my favorite openings on any scent, it was love at first smell. Juicy plum inter-playing with the beautiful hazelnut in this, totally best friends in this mix. It definitely garners compliments, but I more prefer the effect of hugs with this (they love it.) Definitely worth a smell, I’ll most likely always have this in the library.
6351867 – :
Smelled this abroad and it smells just like Black XS to me. Now, I’d have to smell the two together to judge any differences, but from memory, this is Black XS. I know my bottle of Black XS back at home is pretty low, so I bought this. It’s very sweet! Can’t speak to the longevity or drydown as of yet. But if you’re considering buying this, make sure you like sweet, fruity-ish fragrances.
vanoxer – :
Opening smells like Paco Rabanne Black L’exces….dry down reminds me of a fruity Ultra Male
Tarantul87 – :
Just arrived in my country. Tried it at Sephora..wow !! Nice one.. longevity i am not very sure guess around 2 hours plus on my skin but the projection is above average. Initial spray itself is wonderful..honey fruity and hazelnuts scent. The Honey here is not overpowering honey like other gourmand frags out there. I feel it is a versatile frag too. On my buy list. 7.5/10.
Pashko3250 – :
Although there’s a little “woody cologne” smell far into the drydown, I think Paco Rabanne deserves major props for not only putting out something that smells different from everything else on the shelves, but also giving it great performance!
This fragrance is fresh and sweet, but definitely not in the same vein as Invictus. I wouldn’t call it natural, but at least the main notes (excvept for the aldehydes) are recognizable smells that I think a lot of people could identify.
One Million Luciky is balanced enough that it can be worn practically all year. To me, it feels casual and youthful. This is definitely one that you’ll want to try first (on skin, I find it to be somewhat different than on paper), although it is starting to hit the discounters. Personally, I really like it, but I can’t make my mind up as to whether or not this is something that I would actually want to wear.
Lydayzorway – :
Yes, finally got the chance to sniff the sample yesterday. The opening is very pleasing, it has fruity, nutty and sweetness. But the dry down, from my nose opinion, is like a metallic vibe of vanilla with almond.
I just remember Armaf Craze in a soft way, that’s it.
Nice scent, but low in power. Armaf Craze is better.
So… it’s a pass…
kepa – :
Very distinguished synthetic Paco Rabanne. I do enjoy the plum and it’s intriguing in mans perfume but the natty sweet synthetics deliver this modern artificial designer vibe for numb noses.. Guess it could be interesting with much higher quality of materials.
pavel22 – :
I’m not a fan of the original 1 Million, but the nutty take on this flanker got me curious. Smells not that bad initially
but get’s peppery after a while, I hate that. So, another scrubber it is.
aser-93 – :
The longevity alone is almost enough to justify buying this! I gave this a full wearing today and it did very well! Sillage is moderate, but this stuff lasts, even when it becomes a skin scent 4-5 hours after application. I love this fragrance. The only One Million to not only gain my attention, but appreciation and love for the scent. If only I could track down those 50ml bottles rather than the 100ml it would be a instant no brainer and for sure a buy from me! I love how this sticks around with you pretty much the entire day!
ProMitay – :
bought a sample of this to try sounded nice and had good reviews. Could definitely see a woman wearing this honestly leans more that way to me. I don’t care for it myself has a scratchy nut/wood scent to me I don’t get anything else from it. perhaps I got a bad sample? don’t know def not a buy for me.
Vasya777 – :
No one is saying its absolute similarity with Abercrombie and Fitch first instinct! Almost similar except its a bit more potent.

Wow this community is fucking awesome, should be receiving my bottle soon and leaving my review. Much appreciated for the responses!
mazda6 – :
1. Would you consider them to be?
2. If so, which would you prefer?
Absolutely NOTHING like Eros, not even a little bit. Eros is a Bomb, it’s a Cloud and there isn’t much light/subtley in Eros, it’s obnoxious and you have to be really careful with spraying it because of it’s power and projection (this is why it works in club environment)
This is very soft, not a Cloud, not obnoxious and for sure NOT a Club scent. This isnt like the original 1 Million where it projects super far for 2 hours then dies.
This is like if you took a Bath in Honey/Hazelnut and a few other nice woody notes.
I wouldn’t wear 1 Million Lucky to a Club unless you were sure you would be getting close to ladies, if you are 100% certain that you’ll be closer proximity to a Woman (maybe Arms length away) then this is a super choice and will probably help you get laid straight up no bullshit. The dry down on this scent is warm and extremely sensual/inviting, it’s probably one of the best dry downs if you are looking for something that is sweet but not gourmand (and not Eros level obnoxiousness)
Eros gets you noticed because of projection it’s just sweet enough to get a lady to look for who’s wearing it. (less sweet than original 1 Million and this)
This is a intimate type of smell, it’s inviting and warm.
Lucky is something that could be worn all year long and it’s actually tough to overspray it because of all of the subtle notes in it (but you absolutely could, I don’t go over 5) it’s noticeable because it’s not something that men would wear especially in this market of fresh/bleu/ambroxan types of scents this (Lucky) is not like those at all! It’s sweet but not overpowering / gourmand, it’s elegant but it’s not something that you need to dress up to wear (Prada LRB)
Eros (i really don’t like Eros) is a juvenile child who wants mommy to notice him.
If you are looking for a seductively intoxicating scent to appeal to Women then I would say Lucky is easily the victor. Even if you want to wear this as a signature scent you can absolutely do that!
If you are trying really hard to get some girls attention and you are desperate for them to notice you, then pick Eros and be careful with how much you spray and also be mindful of where you plan on wearing it to because it can be obnoxious and douchey and make ppl hate you if you overspray (which can be pretty easy)
BVA – :
The top notes are extremily fantastic super sweet fruty perfection and after about 30 minutes the honey and nutty becomes prominent with woods in the back
tanypotehina – :
This smells nothing like eros not even up close .. it only has a tiny tiny bit of the original 1 million … eros is vanille mint lemonish this is nutty honey woody and plum combo
VerDi44 – :
Nothing like Eros.
Eros is a vanilla mint bomb.
1 Million Lucky is a nut and honey bomb.
Do you want to smell like cheerios breakfast all day? If so, this is your fragrance.
Not ripping on it, I love it. But that’s the gourmand vibe it gives off.
alexzlobin – :
More of a question, I’ve heard some people claim this fragrance to be in the same lane as Versace Eros.
1. Would you consider them to be?
2. If so, which would you prefer?
Very much appreciated for your time. Trying to slim down the collection to just have one scent per occasion, so this is for the party/club scent.
R0m1L – :
Super sweet fruty smooth creamy perfection this is amazing and it’s nothing like the original 1 million not even up close maybe only a tiny tiny bit but this is different and it smells overal better hazelnut plum honey wood are the main players overl performance 9/10
zmetalz – :
A young friend is a big fan of all the 1 Million scents (and similar designer brands). He begs me to try them, hoping one will someday fit a need and I’ll buy a bottle. “Prive” was the closest. If it wasn’t for a tiny bit too much sweetness that never let up and persisted throughout I might have bought that one. So, I agreed to test the latest 2018 flanker.
I applied two sprays of “Lucky” from his lightly used bottle to the inside of one elbow. After an hour I drove to the mall. I could sense that Lucky was way too sweet for this older straight dude, but hoped that allowing for an hour or two might give other notes a chance to come forward and lessen that sweetness. That didn’t happen as the juicy citrus I sensed at the start faded while the other fruity sweetness from the opening got even stronger. I observed the honey was now full on too. A slight woody-nutty feel appeared to take the place of the citrus that disappeared but that was the only other noticeable note to me over 3-hours. Nothing else.
Three women (approx. 25, 35 & 50) I approached separately near the fragrance department for an opinion 90-120 minutes after application all thought I was testing a women’s fragrance for my partner! I only asked if they would give me an honest opinion on a fragrance (nothing else). The 25-year-old said she would buy it for herself and asked what it was, but when told it was marketed to men she said it might fit some college guys but she would not want HER man wearing this. The other ladies comments were “sickeningly sweet” and “that’s strong and sweet” but both thought it might be appropriate for a much younger WOMAN to wear if lightly applied.
After the 3-hour point I tried scrubbing Lucky off but it persisted. I drove home processing the comments received and later relayed them (with my thoughts) to my young friend. Would I buy Lucky for myself? No. It’s not a bad smell, it’s just not my style. I understand this is masculine in 2018 but it’s not MY masculine and is at best unisex. Also, the women I approached didn’t want their men smelling like this so I don’t see many guys getting “lucky” because they wore this. But, I DO understand it’s not meant to be for me. It was designed for and is marketed to very young men. I agree with the women’s opinions that if you are a college age guy or 20-something women who enjoys wearing sweet scents (or has a place for one on your wardrobe) this is worth a trial. I would not recommend this as a blind buy at the current price.
Vasya_9998 – :
Compared to the others in the 1 Million line, I actually didn’t dislike this one at all,
it stands out from the others.
It’s not repulsively sweet, and it’s less warm/pungent.
I’d need to try this on my skin before really making conclusions but from what I sniffed I enjoyed it a wee.
zhorikd – :
This isn’t a very easy Frag to review imo because it’s for 1) Mass appealing (in a different way than the “clean/fresh” bleu/aqua smells, it’s not that at all) and for 2) It appeals to women and men, I’ve already smelled a woman wearing this scent the day before I bought it.
I feel like even though this is a Flanker in name it does something that 1 Million as a brand does very well but better than before which is namely getting girls attention and yes this will get womens attention absolutely.
Polar opposite from Sauvage or many other popular Men’s scents on the market, it doesn’t try and make you look extra manly, it just gives a very tempting appeal to women (in my opinion) like a great dessert that they just want to have.
It smells good, it’s carried by a soft playful Hazelnut scent for the first 2 hrs or so. Then the dry down really is this subtle Honey w/ Plum note, this dry down is actually very impressive imo and i put it very high for a designer frag that is so sweet.
I walked by a few groups of women today (outdoor mall) and in every group there was always 1 head turning back (i’d always see them because i looked in the stores mirrors), or I’d hear them say (just as i walk past) “Mmmm that smells Nice”
With a Market that is flooded with similar scents for men, some more bold or fresh then others but still in the same “box” this goes way way way outside of that “box” and completely shits on the Market!
I feel like everyone who has become pessimistic to designer frags (or to P.R.) they should be eating their words because this frag (for this current market) is so bold, not because it uses bold scents but because everyone else is doing “similar” things and this just isn’t at all, like not even a tiny bit.
This is a must have for anyone looking to have 4-5 straight up Bangers in their lineup. If you don’t have 100’s of scents, or you only have a handful that you are comfortable with, or you have a limited budget I highly highly recommend this scent.
This is a Niche type of scent but in a designer bottle, it is unique in a world of ‘Bleu’ copycats.
Will you “love” it?
