The Better One Million
The best version when it comes to the scent character (One Million). One Million used to be an absolute classic, many liked/loved it, especially young people, as the scent DNA was incredibly attractive/pleasing/unique, at least during the time it was released and was well-received. The top note is still a dream, however, the fragrance is no longer what it once was!

This fragrance here is strongly reminiscent of (Original One Million), in a modern/luxury version if you will, as it does not smell nearly as synthetic as the original. And that is exactly what makes it so interesting in my opinion, being able to smell a scent DNA that is very pleasing, yet also has a slightly woodier/more mature vibe with very good performance! I can't really detect Oud, perhaps just a hint of it, yet this (woody-soft) accord emphasizes the Oud in the name and I find the fragrance very successful, even if it doesn't come across as particularly high-quality, it is well composed. For Christmas or the winter season, it fits very well due to its initial sweetness/berry note, especially the transition to the woody aspect paired with good performance is pleasing.
One Million seems to be (out) in all respects, too often smelled, too often changed, too synthetic, yet this fragrance goes in a similar direction that is pleasing - as far as I'm concerned!
Furthermore, a true (insider tip) as can be inferred from the fragrance's popularity.

Summer Oud
When I recently received this fragrance recommendation from my dear Kankuro, I thought, "Have I done something wrong? Is Kankuro upset? Is there trouble I know nothing about?" because I have often mentioned and written that I am not a fan of oud-heavy scents. To be honest, till I was blue in the face. But Kankuro usually has similar tastes to mine, so unless he is just mad at me (I was not aware of any wrongdoing!), he might really think that I would possibly like Aoud No. 3.
I then read that Martine Micallef is involved, and Micallef's signature is familiar to me and one that I quite enjoy.
So today, I took the plunge and sprayed the 3rd Aoud from the Brückner house for testing.
Surprisingly beautiful, orange-fruity top note! A bit sweet, slightly oriental, but overall very present! Not to say, immense!
Then the fragrance briefly heads in the oud-heavy direction, but just before it becomes unpleasant for me, it undergoes a development that is familiar to me - and to everyone else on this planet! - First just slightly cinnamon-like, but then: One Million - Orange Plantation Edition.
Even my husband, a long-time, stubborn wearer of the original One Million, came into my office and sniffed with a dreamy expression when he perceived this luxury edition of his formerly (and probably still secretly) beloved signature scent, which I had painstakingly talked him out of. After he had already dismissed clouds of Ambre Eternel, Santal Royal, etc. by opening all the windows in the house, he seemed quite pleased with Aoud No. 3. I might just ask him for new shoes.
But back to the fragrance: It is truly the case - One Million in the heart note is unmistakable, but fortunately, the scent is not just that. It also has a cooling, woody quality, and the fresh, sweet fruit makes it all the more summery.
Incredible performance, oriental heaviness paired with spicy orange makes it a summer-appropriate oud fragrance for fans of this direction.
The most extraordinary oud scent I have smelled so far!

For me, it's not an oud scent, but it's very refined - it has a lovely, festive vibe - I like it!

A warm-spicy oud sits on the skin. It lingers there for 10 hours. Quite nice. Maybe more for men.

Leans towards Oajan/Ambre Narguilé/1 Million. Means: Finest oriental cinnamon with a tobacco note and pleasant vanilla. Beautiful!
