1 Million Versatile Version

Before anything, just for the record:
Don't be fooled by the "cologne" word in there.

In this one, "COlogne" is just the new fragrance's name, not it's definition.

As the box says, this one is an Eau de Toilette as well, like the original. This is not an Eau de Cologne, as many people think.
This one is a nice flanker, a not-so-clubbing version of the original, very versatile, you can use it anywhere without being "akwward".

Small rooms, a date with your girl, day, night, use it at will!

Longevity and sillage are about 60-70% of the original I would say. (just a reminder, those factors are awkwardly huge in the original, too much, sometimes.)

The scent itself seems like the original, thought it's noticeable less sweet, which is nice for a change, I think.

An old school fragrance

1 Million Cologne (1MC) is an old school fragrance. Its opening reminds me of fragrances my mother used to wear during 80's and 90's. 1MC is an unisex fragrance, no doubt about it. In my opinion it is beautifully blended but I would not wear it except in my own apartment on some nostalgic Sunday evening when I want to evoke childhood memories. A very similar feeling I get with the Chanel Egoiste (also an old school fragrance), but in contrast to 1MC Egoiste is much more masculine and I enjoy wearing it in public. To summarize, this is a great formulation (but not unique) suitable for 30+y old men/women and for someone who particularly like this old school perfumery.

the 'Invictus Aqua' before Invictus Aqua

I tried 1M Cologne like 2-3 years ago and I liked the opening but didn't enjoy the drydown, not one bit so I discarded it right away however, I've wondered if I should give second chances to some fragrances considering that 4 years into my fragrance journey my nose and my taste have changed a lot. Some fragrances I loved now I can't stand and some I was unsure about now are placed firmly in my rotation.

This was launched before Invictus Aqua and I guess it was somewhat unsuccessful as nobody seems to talk about it and Invictus Aqua became the reference for this whole subgenre of bubble gum fresh summer fragrances. Personally I find the sweetness overpowering on hot summer days so instead of sweet bubble gummy aquatics I rather go salty citrus, like Light Blue which to me is a milestone in the fragrance world. I used to own Invictus Aqua (2018) and I liked it but it is on the younger side and I think I no longer pull that off also, I found it a bit too sweet for hotter days and decided to sell with no regrets. I just wasn't wearing it so, with that in mind a 1 Million Cologne shouldn't sound at all appealing to me, in fact it didn't but I guess I'm just a sucker for underrated, discontinued fragrances and decided to pull the trigger as I found one at the right price.

1MC opens with a very nice mandarin note with very subtle marine hue, it's a really nice opening that is then followed by a tender 'urine' accord (not really, I read some people mention it has a smell of urine which it hasn't but there's an undertone somewhere that I could understand why someone would misinterpret as 'urine'). The mid is powdery and floral, the rose is present and centerstage but it's not overpowering it goes along great with the cinnamon and leather in the base. Even though it's supposed to be a summer fragrance I feel that with this rose and leathery backbone it's a little more formal than Invictus Aqua and others in the subgenre, in fact I feel it's a very good office fragrance. It is also on the younger side but it can be worn by anyone under the right circumstance.

Performance is fine, projects moderately and you can get 7hrs longevity easily, also presentation is very nice so would I recommend it? Yes, just not as a blind buy.

For my opinion

It's a great, joyful summer evening scent. No, it is not similar to Invictus, which I hate. It is very smooth with no chemical mess that often destroys designer fragrances. I am surprised how low rate it has. And no, it is not feminine - I would quickly pick it up. Sure, more suitable for younger people, but I am fine with this in my 40ties.

1 Million Gentle

A few days ago, I came across this 1 Million flanker. The original has been in my collection for years. Unfortunately, it is no longer wearable for me, as it has become so overplayed that I have lost the desire to wear it. Similar to Joop Homme, JPG Le Male, and other bestsellers, these are really hard to wear for fragrance lovers with a desire for individuality.
If 1 Million were an insider tip, I would love to wear it. I find this type of perfume really good. The female counterpart is also very well made. However, since my desire for this scent has faded, this flanker comes at just the right time.
I found it while browsing on Amazon. Since I find the 1 Million concept interesting, I was curious about this flanker. I ordered this fragrance for just under 50 euros/125ml. That is really a fair price.

It arrived quickly, and I tested this fragrance. The bottle is similar to the original but not as flashy. It looks significantly more elegant. The scent does not start off flashy either. It begins very fresh. Mandarin and juniper provide a very fruity freshness. Maritime notes come into play as well. You can definitely notice them. The fragrance is very light throughout its development and is the complete opposite of the original. While the original is penetrating and intrusive, this one is very soft and light. It fits really well in spring, summer, and autumn. Fine noses will smell that this is a flanker of 1 Million. Some may not recognize it, as the famous sharp penetrating quality is gone. The sillage is okay, and the longevity is really good. After 6 hours, it starts to fade.

Conclusion: A beautiful soft 1 Million. The complete opposite of the original. Those who are not averse to the original should definitely give this one a try. An alternative for those who can no longer stand the original scent.

I'd say this is the 'Invictus Aqua' of the 1 Million line but I think it's the other way around as this one came before it

Quite different. There is definetly a bubble gum DNA but combined with WC-duck citrus smell like mentioned in the reviews, I somehow like it

This is a good scent. The bottle might be a bit tacky - this general hate against Paco Rabanne here is just silly.

The first 2 minutes have citrusy bathroom vibes, but then a beautiful fresh rose comes through. Absolutely amazing! You should definitely try it without any prejudices!
