REVIEW: PACO RABANNE - 1 MILLION

As it's the new year it's the perfect time to change up a few things and one of those is what fragrances I wear, I've worn nothing but dVb fragrances for almost four years now and I really do fancy a change, I fancy mixing it up a little!


So, I've been interested in Paco Rabanne -  '1 Million' since it came out a few years ago, but when I initially smelt it (as much as I actually loved it) it reminded me of someone who'd I'd rather forget and as I said in one of my previous fragrance posts when a memory get attached to a particular smell it's very hard to get over/forget that. But a few months ago I smelt it again, on a passer-by in a club and I was absolutely blown away.. I knew straight away what it was and it smelt incredible.

I was wary of buying it at first, but for me now this fragrance doesn't remind me of the past, it signals the future.. an intoxicating future. That's the best word to describe '1 Million' - intoxicating - when I smell it it's like a world of seductive indulgence, sex, power and exquisite decadence in a beautiful bottle shaped like a gold bullion bar.

"The fragrance opens with sparkling fresh fruits, including notes of frosted grapefruit, blood mandarin and peppermint. The heart is spicy and masculine with rose absolute, musk and cinnamon bark. In the base, sensual leather notes of blond leather, tonka bean and amber ketal round out the fragrance."
I bought the 50ml bottle which was £35.99 from Superdrug, prices don't really vary across the shops for this fragrance, but from what I've heard from sales assistants it's one of every store's bestsellers and I did notice over the Christmas period it was sold out in Boots. I highly recommend '1 Million' to any guy out there who's looking for a new fragrance that will really make them stand out from the crowd and drive your senses wild with desire.
