Ahh, content creators.

This scent, is DIVINE! Best oud around. Iris, soft one million original DNA, about 10-15 percent, not sweet, not TOO funky. This is absolutely DIVINE! I can't believe how some "CrEaToRs" will bad mouth this.. "too swanky, too funky, smells like Gucci guilty absolute!" Gucci WISHES it made this. Paco is a stone cold KILLER at this point. One of the best scents I've ever smelled, I say this alot, I haven't smelled ALOT, but I've smelled alot!

EDIT since I've purchased this, it has went up 15$ per bottle. I'm assuming I shouldn't have opened this, and it will probably climb to 200'ish. Believe me, it is that good. If you don't like funky dark slightly sweet, this quite literally might change your mind, or be the only exception. This is DIVINE!!!!

Nice Introduction to Oud

Never bothered with the 1M collection because they are all reviewed as being sweet fragrances which I don't like. 1M Golden Oud is consistently reviewed as a departure from the other 1M's, specifically being only slightly sweet, so decided to give it a try. Am glad I did. This is an awesome, masculine leather-oud fragrance with very good performance. After an initial punchy opening, it quickly settles into leather & oud with a spicy backdrop. Really like it and bought a full bottle for myself.

1M Golden Oud also makes for a gentle oud introduction. If you are hesitant to try some of the more ballsy Middle Eastern oud fragrances, you could start with 1M Golden Oud. And it's definitely not as screechy as the One Man Show Oud Edition. Golden Oud is significantly more expensive than OMS OE, and smells it. lol

As Golden Oud settles after a few hours and its edge starts to smooth out, it does remind me of No Limit$ after No Limit$ has settled for a few hours, but they are not the same, of course. Golden Oud is leather/oud while No Limit$ is leather/chocolate.

A Familiar Luxury

While 1 Million Golden Oud is not groundbreaking, it did exceed my expectations for a designer release. 1 Million DNA, reaching into niche territory with a Middle Eastern vibe. If I could paint a picture, I’d say 1 Million meets Acqua di Parma Oud, with many similarities to RL Polo Supreme Leather. To no surprise as they share nutmeg, saffron and a coincidentally similar leather note. Ultimately, Golden Oud is an oriental woody leather with wisps of freshness and powdery tendencies.

1 Million Lucky is fun, but inferior to 1 Million Golden Oud. I personally found them to be nothing alike. The man who wears Lucky is not the same man who wears Golden Oud. Like comparing sweats to business attire. There are also many comparisons to Gucci Guilty Absolute, which I found to capture the essence of bandaids and medical tape. Everyone’s perception on scent is different however.

This release was for collectors and enthusiasts, although still potentially a crowd pleaser in the most sophisticated sense. Designer Ouds usually are.

After 3 hours the fragrance effortlessly continued to project, so performance is no question here. Golden Oud constantly reminds you of its presence throughout the day. My first blind purchase of 2024 and inconceivably without regret.

Decent sweet oud but nothing new

First wearing of Paco Rabanne 1 Million Golden Oud, the most recent release from the 1 Million line, following 1 Million Royal, of which I was not big fan. Golden Oud is an improvement, for sure, a sweet-leaning oud/woody/generally resinous blend with an assortment of spices that make it a bit gourmand-leaning, even. It’s strong but does not smell terribly unique and is a bit forgettable, as it sort of smells a lot like other perfumes I’ve smelled in the past handful of years without really distinguishing itself in any special way. It’s not bad at all, but just misses the mark of something new or special within the line.

The only point of sale that has it (that I’m familiar with) is Jomashop, a secondary market website that operates in the US, in which it’s for sale for $130 for 100ml. Fortunately, the fragrance performs very well and the value is not too bad as far as the line goes if you’re particularly into it, but I’m just not.

Outstanding perfume, especially for the Price!

With a Coupon Code I paid a bit above 100 € for the 100 ml bottled and for that price it's a steal!

Outstanding quality for the price, an intoxicating, amazing smell. Quite masculine, spicy, a bit oudy and leathery but with an addicting kind of subtle sweetness which for me makes this fragrance a masterpiece.

Love it all the way. Only downside, my batch seems to have a bit of a performance issue. But maybe it just needs to mature a bit.

I am happy I bought a full bottle and I am sure once this fragrance is discontinued it will be highly sought after. If I had the money, I'd buy a backup bottle.
