One Million Offshoot? Not with this Sillage!
During my visit to the perfumery this week, the saleswoman included a sample of this freshly released "One Million" offshoot in my bag.
I must say that I quite like "One Million," it's a great party scent to stand out; however, I also associate the fragrance less with its overly generously applying clientele...
Well, what can I say?
"Cologne" is not the first offshoot of this fragrance giant, but I like the idea of developing the scent in a lighter direction instead of an even heavier one (as happened with Intense and Absolutely Gold).
I treated myself to three spritzes from the sample and was immediately surrounded by a fresh, citrusy aura. I can clearly perceive the rose and tonka bean, as well as the marine notes of the heart note.
Wow, a really great fragrance! If I had tested it directly in the perfumery and not here at home, I would have bought it immediately as a "One Million" lover, even though it bears no resemblance to its big brother.
The scent takes a completely different direction than its big counterpart. Paco Rabanne has chosen the summer kickoff as the perfect release time, the fragrance fits ideally with the hot season. Very fruity and fresh; quite feminine, definitely unisex. I really like that, a lot!
If I didn't know what I had sprayed on my wrist, I would never have thought I had a "One Million" offshoot under my nose! This way, the wearer of this fragrance at least won't be put in the same drawer as the usual "One Million" wearers.
Nevertheless, I am glad I tested it at home. After an hour, I can no longer perceive the scent at all, not even when I sniff directly at my wrist, despite three generous sprays (the big brother would be omnipresent-annoying with the same three spritzes).
The thought that this could really be an Eau de Cologne (as mentioned in the ParfumoNews) does not come from nowhere - yet the scent is clearly labeled as Eau de Toilette on my sample.
I am disappointed. The scent starts off great, then completely collapses. This could have been a really great everyday fragrance, especially since it is truly not comparable to "One Million."
Scent (Top Note): 90%
Sillage (Top Note): 80%
Scent (Heart/Base Note): -
Sillage (Heart/Base Note): 10%
At this price, I would have hoped for more than just a one-hour top note. I would rather stick with my summer everyday fragrances "Jil Sander Sun Men" and "Lacoste Pour Homme."

Yes, the heart note exists. It's the same as in the original...
