The house of Paco Rabanne's fragrance for men is announced as a fresh and sensual blend of notes, with glittery shine of gold, for which creator Paco Rabanne says the following: "In all civilizations and religions gold has always managed to seduce people". Gold is all around us: in architecture, design, jewelry, clothes, accessories, fashion...It is noticeable and respected worldwide and it possesses divine notes. The bottle of this edition for men is created in golden nuances. It represents power, wealth, luxury, durability...
The perfume was inspired by Paco Rabanne's metallic fashion and created in cooperation with three famous noses for perfumes, Christophe Raynaud, Olivier Pescheux and Michel Girard, who mixed this year's edition from the notes of sparkling grapefruit, red orange, mint, rose, cinnamon, spices, blond leather, blond wood, patchouli and amber.
The perfume is available in the amount of 50 and 100 ml, as an edp and with accompanying body care products. 1 Million arrived in August 2008.

I was so excited when i heard it was sweet scent.
When i sampled it reminded me fruity smelling rubbers from my school years, also rubbery toys exist with similar smelling.
Yeah it is strong but 4watt?
I didn't smell any woody note in it, so how it has woody-spicy olfaction?
After washing my wrist it was smelling slitely better :)
Maybe teenagers will like it.

Well, I have been waiting fot this perfume since it started to be sold here, in Brazil.
First of all, I was catch by its bottle. I like gold, and its bottle, which remindes a gold bar, is sparkling, unique and detaches itself in any collection.
Then, the most important part: the fragrance!
As a lover of oriental, woody, spicy fragrances, I could not be more in love with a fragrance of what I was for 1 Million.
The mix of rose, leather, cinnamon and amber are awesome! It's totally me!!!
In my opinion, it's a wonderful perfume for parties, nights in a dancefloor, and even for romantic moments like dinners or movies with the person who you love...
I don't agree that this perfume can be worn by women because it can be "described as unissex". It is a male scent!
The difference is that the modern market of perfumes is asking for perfumes like this one! In the whole world there are lots of women that love wear male fragrances. And now, the perfumers have discovered that there are lots of men that like some notes of women fragrances. That's why 1 Million and its precedent BlacK XS, have reached such a success among male customers, since they have been launched.
This perfume has a wonderful lasting, and its evolution on the skin is fantastic! I feel handsome, confident and sexy wearing 1 Million.

Pacco Rabanne is working good in modern male fragrances,first black XS and now 1 million...
at the first sniff it's just like too many colognes for men you've already tried.woody spicy,with the sharp notes of grapefruit and mint.
but after less than 10 minutes it becomes very mild,fruity and even creamy!it's like a floral fruity fragrance for women or at least a unisex perfume.
although here it's described as a modern fragrance that uses the air spray method,I believe the notes change during the time and in fact I don't mind smelling this kind of unisex cologne on a man as it's not sharp,but to be honest I don't go crazy for it neither.
it's a very successful fragrance in publications and the shape of bottle,but the whole cologne isn't that unique.

I receive a vial of this one so I have a chance to test it on my skin, it smell like paper, dry paper, so dry that it makes mt thirty and that's it, nothing else. Boring scent!
04/13/09 14:19:15
I'm so sorry!
I just don't agree if this fragrance classified as a Woody Spicy group!
This is not Spicy enough, queer as folk says...this is sweet!
Typical from Pacco, that makes perfume more adorable for Men!
Sweetness on the first spray makes me believe that this fragrance got a bit of Vanilla scent! I WRONG!
Its cinnamon combines with bloooody orange! Yummy, and the dry down....its Very Me!
I can tell, why Pacco named this fragrance 1 Million! Because it has many 'expensive' scent that burn us down to a High Class aroma!
Just like they did before on Black XS...simply for men who knows how to scent 'xpencif'

On application, one is instantly hurled onto a wet and juice soaked mattress, from which there is no escape for at least an hour. It does refrain from dominating entirely, but to be enveloped in this warm and potent oriental shroud takes some adjustment. The drydown is a much smoother and comfortable affair,and I was left with a dry chocolate accord that eased its way through to expiry. This is not a fragrance I would choose to use, but it was certainly a memorable ride.
04/07/09 15:52:09
just wowo!!!!! this perfume is amazing !!! i cant believe its for men !!! im a girl and im craaazy about it !
04/04/09 01:46:56
it's very sensual real masculine, how a man should smell...Very thanks "Paco Rabanne"
04/01/09 03:03:49
This one opens really awful like some over-baked cake. However, I find the dry down is quite pleasurable though.
03/22/09 14:07:32
this one smells gorgeous and looks like a million dollar as well, very not Paco Rabanne for me. I love it. One of those rare men perfumes which I would ware:)
02/20/09 10:48:05
smells good but the cologne is a bit over-rated and for the younger generation ... high school - college ... does not give the elegant touch to it ... more like sweet smelling, fresh in a relationship and new to the world kinda guy ... its dry down is the best part in the cologne ... and its longetivity is amazing ... stays for the whole day if not more ...
02/18/09 06:55:04
Well, I went to the free-shop with a lot of expectations because this one hasn't been launched in my country, and was love at first snif, I bought it immediately, the opening is some kind of "tutti frutti" mixed with citruses, later appear the notes of leather, spices and wood that make a lovely drydown. It's a long lasting scent, stays on my skin, even after taking a shower.
The best of all it's that nobody has this one in Argentina, almost nobody :-)

Yes, it smells like gold, but unlike Dior J'adore for women, this perfume smells like "gold plus something citric" or "metallic gold". I imidiatelly recall gold and TASTE-not-smell of orange juice. Instead of women's Jadore (pure gold), which is sweet and rounded, it sounds more sharpy, in a more male style. But, girls and boys, my question is "Should the man smell like gold or platinum ?" That is the scent of a wife, not of a husband!
02/01/09 15:44:29
One of my fave perfume! I love i cos its not really strong with alchohol, it still has a hint of roses and grapefruits which makes it smells fresh. The bottle? Lets just say my friends are so jealous.
01/21/09 06:51:56
yum! gave it to my boyfriend for his birthday. he loves it. whenever he wears it i just wana eat him its so good!
01/19/09 23:55:50
I have that one, its good but its too sweet. I rly prefer backXS
01/07/09 05:44:47
Wow, the bottle design is really in your face! As much as I love the packaging and original idea, I can't bring myself to enjoy the fragrance. It's too sharp and intoxicating. If I do have one million I'd buy it just for a laugh.
01/06/09 09:34:28
I have tested it and like it very much.
Positive: enjoyable dry down, soft leather dipped in sweet cinnamon.
Negative: err... too feminine. But it's OK, still manly.
On paper strip took 4 days to vaporize, if longevity and silage is good on the skin too, I'm buying it.
Overall very well crafted and quality better than other synthetics due to high concentration of natural substances - though not that expensive - like the peppermint.

I just love the smell of this and its lasttttttttts forever ... you can spray it in the morning and it will stay with you up until night time ... perfect for casual/sweet everyday hang out with your girlfriend ....
12/21/08 00:13:30
I tried this at the mall the other day
and I fell in love with the scent ! The scent is vibrant, sultry, and sophisticated. The orange notes dance.I smelled something close to a fresh cigar, unsmoked. I thought for sure there was a tobacco note in it! My husband commented that the perfume is very sweet.
The fixation is excellent-the scent lasted
even after I washed my hands!

Gold can't be like this scent. Gold is something more metalic, more secret, more luxerious, more attractive. Hotter while colder. 1Millions is a cute scent. Suitable for new beginners. It's modern, warm, good for evening. We should call it Paco (1, or 2 ) pour Homme. Some similar floral, some woody, some spicy -> can't be Gold scent.
11/15/08 18:59:20
I tried it out of curiosity yesterday. Well...I can feel pungent, acid admixture, a kind of metallic-like note which probably contributes to the concept. I agree that the scent (not the concept) is out of the beaten line, original, noticeable, of good quality. Respecting its individuality I still don't believe it (according to Stanislavsky). Imho it smells more of a obsession to get 1 million or an idea that 1 Million is not enough....In one word, it is mutinous. Personally I would prefer Creed's gold - Imperial Millesime.
11/15/08 09:59:08
that s a fantastic fragrance and the spot is really well done and impressive. it smells great on me too.i don t like the idea of promoting this perfume either..millionary men....but paco is extravagant and he has some really nice fragrances....so i don t care about the promotion...what counts is that the perfume is great ..
11/10/08 08:57:59
A most unusual bottle and rather elitist in it's concept of gold/money/ success/status.
I have to admit, I was doubtful about this fragrance before trying it, but ever since I did, I can't stop sniffing the back of my left hand - I desperately want it!
It's very unusual in a men's fragrance and quite unique in it's composition - I have a feeling this may be around for as long as PR pour homme has been.
Do try it with an open mind; you may surprise yourself.

In fact, the bottle and the name have no relation to the fragrance... I find it very nice, long lasting. It's kind of a cousin of Gaultier2... the base of both are very similar! It may receive a summer edition in the future... as this one is not very suitable for hot days...
10/28/08 17:03:59
how can i start to describe...so in malta we have a saying. When trnslated it say...the eye catches first... and oh boy isn't the packing gr8!!!! Very expensive looking bootle and fantastic smell! a must this winter...paco parfumes are always unique:)
10/25/08 06:28:47
i already bought it...before this i wore aigner.. one of aigner fan.
but now, one million has changed me..
bergamot man...

Who called it a men fragrance? I would say it's unisex, because the top notes are very feminine - sweet and a bit spicy rosy scent. Base is warm and soft. I like the fragrance, it is nice:)I also love the bottle which is very covenient to spray, and its design is different than others. But what this bottle has in common with the scent in it? I don't really find the relation...
10/16/08 05:32:00
yes yes... i tested it in my sephora store and... im sad! love it love it - bottle - matt gordon and campaign but this fragrance is not for me - like it but dont want to wear it - love the sweet accord but the rest not - too masculine! something in composition reminds me on male parfums from gaultier... and hope my boyfriend would love it - and i will buy it for him:-)))
10/16/08 02:54:55
Sorry in advance for my negative review. At first I don't like the name and the entourage, they offer to smell like money, i.e. like a man who has a lot of money, but where is a Man? He is not important at all without that million!
It's a pity, that now we think only about how to get rich, how to sell even if we sell something to children, how to survive. Companies exploit even diseases for their own promotion, I think if you want to help, simply give money, don't shout about it everywhere.
It's not modest at all, I mean the name of the fragrance, I respect modest people.
So, sorry for off ;o) Now about the fragrance itself. For such a sum, the fragrance is too light, it must be heavy and bold, don't you think? The composition is lack of personality. This million wasn't earned. Very young man spends the money of his rich daddy. Look at the picture ;o) Fun is the only thing he is after. For me million means to work hard...

I'm not really into women wearing men's fragrances, but this one is awesome! You feel the cinnamon so much its edible. Can't figure out why they’re marketing it as men's fragrance when it's obviously a classic unisex fragrance.
That said, it's a wonderful, warm, sweet, and sexy scent. A great choice for both work and play.

the bottle could be great but its too much, especially for a man, but the smell is great, masculine but a bit sweet, while fresh too. so the smell is perfect:)
09/26/08 12:08:41
I also find it very nice - it is sparkling, a bit sweet and bubbly, like a lemonade...not a gold! :))
Could be a perfume for woman too.

Bought this one today - GREAT scent!
Mix of black and a lighter shade.
Something like a mix of Tom Fords lighter eau de toilette + Black Orchid.
My wife and daugher love it also (on themselves).

This fragrance is great...I had a sample this morning and I can't stop smelling it. It is fresh but persistent,very masculine. You can really smell mint for a long time, then is very sweet and fresh, a bit floral but not feminine at all..I will buy it for sure
