I sneak through the aisles, trying to avoid the cameras. In my black suit, I become one with the shadows. I realize that I am getting closer to my goal. I am trying to unveil the great secret. I have arrived. In front of the master's office. I slip through the door. Confused, I look around. Bowls full of vanilla, everywhere?! What has happened here? That's exactly what you think at first. The opening of this fragrance is intense. The top note reveals powdery vanilla. Then the fragrance unfolds and transitions into its heart note. Iris and hibiscus seeds. The final accords are joyfully awaited in the base after 11 hours: cedar, vetiver, and amber form a wonderful woody accord. Throughout, the fragrance is carried by the beautiful iris. After my mission, I now bring you the details:
2. Fragrance: A scent that reminds me of how vanilla pudding is properly cooked. Dior Homme Intense from 2007 is a fantastic but also heavy fragrance. Thanks to its strong vanilla note, it is perfect for a date or a theater visit in autumn or winter. With this fragrance, you wear something fine, and accordingly, the clothing should match. Personally, I am captivated by the sweet powder. All components fit and blend seamlessly. I smell nothing synthetic or inappropriate. Heavy and dark is the story that Dior has written here. A work of art for the adult man. 100%
3. Sillage: When I wore the fragrance, it revealed its effect late. After a good 8 hours, someone noticed a pleasant scent on me and immediately wanted to know the secret. I was told I smelled of vanilla and wood. This fragrance is very heavy, and I wouldn't recommend it to a delicate personality. The right dosage is exactly 4 sprays on the neck and the inner elbows (for long sleeves: wrists). This fragrance is not subtle, but it is also not a bodyguard. I was perceived from 2 meters away. 90%
4. Longevity: 11 hours can feel long. The more beautiful it is when you have a pleasantly scented companion. 100%
5. Bottle: The heavy and dark rectangular glass reveals something about the contents. The fragrance is also heavy and dark. The clear lines of the bottle match my taste. The spray head allows for precise dosing. Much glass and darkness awaken in me an irresistible urge to test the contents. 100%
6. Price: Starting at €65 (50ml), the fragrance can be found in perfumeries. For this price, I gladly unveil a secret and open the treasure chest. The contents are so wonderful that you can't help but say yes. I am not just paying for the name but also for a brilliant fragrance. 80%
7. Conclusion: This fragrance is not for the faint-hearted. Anyone wearing Dior Homme Intense (2007) must be grown-up and prepared for what unfolds there. This fragrance is suitable for an unforgettable date or a fantastical theater evening with Faust and co. during autumn or winter. I am thrilled by the heaviness, sweetness, delicacy, the vanilla, and the woody accords. 100%

Here it is! The first comment on this page about my very first fragrance. Where should I begin? I’ll start by embellishing my imagination. The thoughts that rush through my mind with this scent are by no means those I associate with a "normal" perfume. I imagine standing in the desert, lying in the shade under a mandarin tree. The branches sway in the wind, and as absurd as it sounds, this tree may only be there to bloom for me in the here and now. The wind carries a fine, unobtrusive sweet scent to my nose. To make it short, that’s exactly what goes through my mind when I smell this fragrance. I am inevitably reminded of a mandarin tree by the top notes. Strong and powerful, yet not overwhelming. The peppermint stays subtly in the background and contributes to a wonderfully fragrant combination. After a short time, I arrive at the heart notes. Rose absolute and cinnamon in a combination that makes this scent irresistible; perhaps that’s the secret of why women love to smell it on men. This heart note softens the strength of the fragrance. Now the scent feels completely gentle and subdued. On the journey to the base notes, I discover oud and iris. The end of a journey that is woody and spicy. The fragrance is consistently carried by the sweet cinnamon. After a solid 12 hours in the shade under the mandarin tree and a beautiful dream, I wake up and tell you the details:
2. Fragrance: A captivating combination. I wear this scent wonderfully in everyday life, as well as for festive occasions (birthdays or parties). Unfortunately, it is far too strong and noticeable for the office or a gala evening. The fragrance fits well with the spice and thanks to the sweet cinnamon in the autumn and winter season. With these fragrance components from Paco, everything merges into a pleasantly pure perfume that unmistakably makes clear what roots this tree has. Beware! Comparisons to the predecessor should not be made, as there lies a different bar in a sheikh's safe. 100%
3. Sillage: I was noticed in my surroundings. However, I received no negative feedback. I feel very comfortable wearing this fragrance and often sniff at my wrist. The right dose is 2 to a maximum of 4 sprays on the neck and/or wrist! From a distance, I was not smelled even once, which tells me I was right. A good balance with the right dosage! 70%
4. Longevity: After 12 hours, I fell asleep calmly and joyfully, dreaming of the next fragrance! 100%
5. Bottle: Tastes are known to be subjective. A gold bar with a high plastic content does not match my ideal vision. The dosing with this spray head is more bad than good. 50%
6. Price: €96 (100ml) in the perfumery is reasonable for this fragrance. The quality of the scent is in good relation to the price! Online, you can find additional offers and a cheaper variant. 80%
7. Conclusion: All in all, 1 Million Absolutely Gold is a pleasant, strong, and sweet men’s fragrance for autumn/winter with a good price-performance ratio. With the right dosage, it’s a nice everyday and festive scent. My love for this fragrance still lasts to this day and is only for younger men who enjoy sweet scents.
