Paco Rabanne 1 Million Eau de Toilette Spray for Men, 3.4 Fluid Ounce (Health and Beauty)

I work at a fragrances counter in a department store in the US and we just started carrying this fragrance (we had a lot of European men ask for it in the last few years!). I'm glad we did. I wasn't sure I would like it - the bottle's presentation made me expect something gaudy and simplistic from the scent. I should have known better!For me the mint in the top notes really stands out, and so does the vanilla-smooth leather in the bottom. The middle spice notes make it really shine, though. Spice in a cologne gets me every time. I can't smell the rose as strongly, and I don't mention it to my customers - I think a lot of American men would shy away from a "girly" note like rose in their cologne. I wouldn't classify this as a really sweet scent, but then I've smelled Angel and that's entirely vanilla-chocolate-cookie-dough... sugary sweet! There's nothing sweet about Million in comparison. If you -can- smell the rose notes, you might get that sweetness that I'm missing...Read more

I think they put cocaine in this stuff because the girl I went out with kept complimenting me on how good I smelled.This fragrance has a very fruity, think banana/grapefruit candy smell in the beginning. Which is good, not bad.About an hour in, you get this sweet, slightly floral scent that is light with the fruitiness in the background.After a couple of hours it dies down to this nice mellow musky scent which is dark and sensual and stays close to the skin.This is a sweet fragrance, but with a fruity twist.This is definitely a young fragrance 17 to early 30s. Something for an afternoon or evening date. It's great for activities where you would sweat a little (arcade, bowling, ice skating, dancing)Definitely not recommend wearing this work, if you work in a professional environment, going to a job interview, or having dinner with the in-laws.Longevity, I get about 6-8 hours with this, depending on how much...Read more

This is a very interesting cologne. It's an attention getter, that much is certain, and I see it as a scent that most people will like but some won't. It could have a polarizing effect and isn't a "safe" cologne. My wife loved the scent and it made the choice easy to look for a good deal on this bottle (which is why I came to Amazon). I was very hesitant to buy online... and there are of course horror stories of fakes, but I assure you, this one here is 100% real. I carefully researched the box, bottle, and what to expect, and this item is the real thing. In fact, you can look up when it was made, and mine was made 5 months ago. The frag is recent and hasn't turned bad or suffered from storage in any way. Two sprays and this will last all day, and because you don't need much the bottle should last a long, long time.You can't beat this deal. It sells for double the price elsewhere. It doesn't come with any body washes or shave creams or anything (one poster said...Read more
