Lucky or not?

Mid-20s, male, just for info.

Well. What can I say, except.. Well.

A scent that still confuses me today, but more in a bad way. Somehow I like it, but somehow not at all. Of course, I enjoy the summery scent of flower beds, with all the colorful hues that create a smell that is simply beautiful. The problem with this fragrance is that the flower in the porcelain pot falls on your head and you don’t know what just happened until you look up and see the drag queen with distinctive chest hair accidentally dropping the pot while watering the flowers.

A VERY feminine scent, definitely unisex or also very good for bisexual gentlemen (My best friend is gay and LOVES this scent). There’s the sweet gourmand men’s perfume, and then there’s 1 Million Lucky. Here you can smell all the flowers that have ever existed, exist, and will exist, enveloped in a sweet shell with a slightly bitter note in the background. Mango Tango Tutti Frutti Hubba Bubba times 1000.

I am a huge fan of sweet scents on myself because they simply work better for me than fresh barbershop sludge. But this gummy bear juice doesn’t make me hop happily; instead, I’m more likely to bounce against the next wall and break everything.

As a series once wisely claimed:

"Don’t be deterred by this secret
The sludge has achieved nothing, the manufacturer laughs
With other scents, you can experience so much more
Come here and just sing along:

One Million Lucky sticks here and there and everywhere
It’s there for you even though you don’t need it."

- Gummy Bear Gang.

People Compliment Scale: 1 out of 10. I’m straight, not a manly man who needs to prove himself, but this stuff has only led to me being asked if I’m a lesbian. Still don’t know if that was a compliment or if I should be worried. I can really imagine this scent being great on women. Ladies: Please give it a try! Don’t be put off by "men’s scent," something went seriously wrong there.

Wasp Compliment Scale: 10 out of 10. If you secretly have an interest in wasps and want to attract a few sweet wasps, get this scent because wasps LOVE it. I speak from experience.

Funny comment... I feel very similarly. I don't know if I would give it a 5 or an 8 out of 10... it's very sweet... unbelievably so, I like it a bit, a little overwhelming, yes, and definitely unisex. It’s probably appreciated more by the gay community, and for sure the scent doesn’t suit everyone or every occasion. Personally, I have to say that I rarely wear it, but when I do, it’s more in the cold season and in the evening, not in summer, that’s too sweet, and yes, wasps 🐝 and bees love this scent. I'm conflicted, but somehow I still like it.

Recommending a scent for a specific sexual orientation is the most interesting thing I've heard today.

Yes, but there's definitely something to that... Scents and sex. Orientation is definitely a category that deserves and needs to be addressed here. Examples: I've only smelled Terres des Hommes on heterosexual men so far... (I think it's more masculine), and I've smelled Paco Rabanne (the regular one, Lucky, Royal, Elixir) on gay people (men or women). And sometimes on Turkish and Arab guys. - so PR is more unisex - What does that say? I have no idea, but I (female, over 50, looking younger) could never wear those sweet women's perfumes; they just don't suit me! I don't wear high heels, and extreme makeup doesn't fit me either. It's possibly a mix of everything, but definitely also related to sexual preference, which might explain why people love certain scents!

Aside from the longevity, which I rate much higher, very accurate.
A very confusing, but somehow quite nice scent. When wearing it, it bothers me, even though I actually like it. In the end, I also said goodbye to it; it's just a bit too feminine and hard to wear.
