Million Secret

For me this is much like 1 Million waterd down. Also with a lower price.

If you like 1 Million, this one is a great alternative: cheaper and good smelling, althought very synthetic.

Very sweet fragrance with a great lasting power, sillage and projection.

Yes, Twin

Exactly, Secret smells similar to 1 Million, slightly fresher and less fruity. It's hard to believe that one would notice the difference if 1 Million isn't readily available for comparison. And if it is, there's Secret Gold, which really smells almost identical.

The only argument for the Secrets from my perspective is the price - they can be quite cheap.

I tested the fragrance today, thought a friend was wearing 1 Million, but no, it was Banderas. I immediately had to spray it on, and well, it's not quite as sweet as 1 Million, but not much different either, nothing the world will miss if it goes off the market.............or ever comes to the German market.
Is Antonio Banderas even available for regular purchase here?? I don't think so.
Longevity is good, well, the manufacturer of both fragrances is, as I know, PUIG, which is why there's a similarity.
Point taken, smelled, and forgotten..............

Peeking Through the Keyhole

What do I see there?
Completely naked... Chica S hip sway... tied to the bed with a black satin ribbon?
Leather whip with patchouli, sharp pepper pleasure balls, licorice snakes and cinnamon sticks, at the top fresh citrus fruits with bergamot? speechless... Antonio! bring the apple spritzer, I need something to cool down.

1Million DNA is very apparent, perhaps some more lavender and vanilla here, the experience is similar, but performance is lacking.

Bit of influence from One Million and Le Male. Lotsa mint, lavender and cinnamon with a tad of citrus in the opening. Pretty solid for everyday use.

A good perfume for everyday use. At the top I feel the grapefruit and mint, and then it calms down, joining with the woody notes.

Inspired by One Million, it is worth the price. One girl I was dating always asked me to use this fragrance.

As light as 1 Million Cologne but with the trademark 1 Million sweetness on drydown. Can't really go wrong at this price.

Very affordable alternative to One Million. Smells more synthetic, not quite as refined. But for the price, absolutely great. For those who like the OM vibes.
