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.
Well described! Cologne trophy!
