1 Million Royal - The most complete of them all
1 Million Royal represents the most mature version, the best blended of the line as well as the best all-rounder. This can be worn any time, any date - except for summer in very warm or high heat and the formal meetings. It can be worn during the day, during the night and even at the office, but you will have to be careful with the sprays.

The scent itself can take some people to a gourmand, chocolate direction. I know I was one of them but I perceived it as being close to Axe Dark Temptation (which many of use abused in high school, nevertheless great deodorant scent).
After wearing it many, many times by now, I can definitely say that I don't perceive it anymore as much to the aforementioned deodorant but to something more peculiar and that is: Lonicera caprifolium. Of course, you can search this plant online and for those of you who haven't gotten the chance to smell it, the flower of this plant is sweet and woody, also known as honeysuckle or Italian woodbine. Even so, the scent of 1 Million Royal is not overly sweet, it's actually perfectly balanced.

The performance is excellent. I get 12+ hours on skin (actually I can feel it the next day easily) and if I spray on clothes. it will stay there for days. It has very good projection for the first 2 hours and after that it will create a nice scent bubble around you and will have a magnificent silage, this lingers a long time in the air after you walk by.

The reason I am giving - specifically - the scent an 8.5 out of 10 is because it does not evolve or change that much after the opening but even more because of it's ozonic quality. And this is the catch. Although it does not have ambroxin, it is a powerful performer and as a consequence, as it happens with many fragrances nowadays, you will go nose blind on it. I think it's because of the airy and ozonic quality combined with the punch of the fragrances that makes it feel as it's gone but it actually goes on for a long time and it's also one of the reason why some people feel like going for 8 sprays or more. People around you will smell you from distance with only 4-5 sprays. If you go for 8 sprays with this, you will be perceived like you would be going at a party.

This is my favorite 1 Million from the ones I've tried, seconded by the Parfum. It's not a unique scent, nothing groundbreaking, but a solid release and a true claimer of the Royal name.

*Edit - I changed my mind and I give it a 9 in scent as it has grown on me even more.

Decent flanker more muted than the original but not as striking as its predecessors
1 Million Royal is one of the most recent men’s releases from Paco Rabanne, and the most recent men’s flanker of 1 Million, a more floral and less super sweet departure from the original. To me, it has elements of the flankers Absolutely Gold, Prive, and Lucky, while not being as interesting as any of them (Absolutely Gold is my favorite of the house). Still, I could see this being a bit more agreeable to many than the sweeter original or Lucky. Note-wise, it strikes me as citrus/floral/resinous blend with the result being a sharp/sweet/candied element that plays off of the florals. The result is a toned-down version that is not the loud bubblegum-sweet clubbing scent that the original is, but something a bit more nuanced and better for everyone. Still, it doesn’t feel like something terribly new within the current catalogue, but I’m sure some will really like it.

It’s unclear if 1 Million Royal is sold through official retail means in the US, but it does seem to be available from some discounters. Like the rest of the line, it performs well.

Not very royal to my nose
Royal strikes me as a very smooth and creamy woody-resinous scent. The spices don't stick out - nothing sharp or pungent here. Just really smooth. Performance was quite good. I got a good 10 hours out of it. Projection was more modest after about 30 minutes, so it would be safe in closer confines. Cold weather winter scent only. Royal would be cloying in warmer (forget hot) weather.

The cons for me on Royal are firstly it's way too sweet for my taste. Secondly, it's a very simplistic and generic scent. Nothing special that would induce me to buy a bottle. Don't really like it, but it's not bad, so don't dislike it either. Just an OK.

Very Surprised
This is an amazing fragrance, Paco Robanne did a great job here.

I've always passed on this house, because their bottles are ridiculous. I went to the fragrance shop and went through their entire line - for me, this one is the winner.

Its a sweet, clean, woody, soapy fragrance. Very wearable. Not sickenly sweet or cloying, just a clean fresh sweetness, not over powering. I think this has to do with the Parfum concentration which tends to darken a fragrance, and makes them less sweet.

I still think the bottle is dumb.

One Million Royal
I regret buying this. This smells very similar to the original one million, I am quite dissapointed... I wouldn't recommend buying this if you already have the original one million, it is very similar, I'm not sure of the longevity or sillage but it is not worth buying if you already have the original one milly.

I only smell synthetic notes with excessive sweetness. The scent is similar to another bunch of fragrances launched in recent years.

Decent addition to the 1 million range. Much less sweet, a bit more grown up. Really nice warm cardamom note.

Not really related to the original 1 Million besides the fact that it’s sweet. Has a smooth cocoa quality. Pleasant but quite forgettable.

Easily the best 1 Million. Sweet, warm and spicy, this scent is like a pillow fortress; soft materials in a grand and formidable structure.
