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.
