that I'm a huge fan of the original 1
million by Paco Rabanne may come to a
shock or surprise some of you guys out
there but I have a lot of memories great
memories attached to this particular
fragrance in fact I was wearing this
fragrance when I met my wife that's a
conversation for a different video but
today we're gonna dive into the new
flanker 1 million power phone let's see
how this one compares against 1 million
meteor other 1 million flankers of this
collection guys want to hear all about
this one stick around the videos up next
[Music]
welcome back to another video Mac's
Forte the guys love to make a great
first impression smelling good as staff
for your great way to start today we're
gonna talk about 1 million by Paco
Rabanne and as you can see here I'm a
huge fan I have the whole collection the
only one in include here was the lucky
you know 1 million lucky because I
thought it was a fragrance that went
into like a different direction with
that nutty hazelnut facet it took it
didn't take much from the original DNA
the character and went into a whole
different direction in fact I wouldn't
be surprised if I saw Paco Rabanne
releasing flankers of that flanker but
let's digress and talk about 1 million
and flankers here and how they compare
to each other and today of course we're
talking about the newest one 2020
release 1 million par fun which just
hits shelves and actually find this
particular release at your local Sephora
it is available there the 100 mil was
completely sold out so I had to settle
for the 50 mil and it retails for $78
for the little guy or $100 for the 100
mil and I also know it's available in
the 200 mil bottle like the regular here
but I don't know the actual price on
that one but just let you guys know it
also comes in a 200 mil of flack on like
this
and just so you guys know if you don't
want to pay retail this is actually
available right now at the time I'm
shooting this video and fragrance by Doc
see you guys I'm gonna have the link
below if you guys want to check it out
feel free to do that
alright the presentation as we see here
with the new flanker it's gonna follow
suit to other 1 million of this
collection which is the gold bar you
know it's very common to this particular
collection the gold bullion which could
be a little kitschy to some people you
know it could be a little bit funny but
I actually think it's pretty cool I
think it's really you know gutsy of the
Paco Rabanne to do this I thought it was
really gutsy back in 2008 when this when
the original one was first released and
this is actually an original formulation
right here
and I do enjoy this particular gold
bullion kind of a format I think it's
really unique it's really in of itself
it's something that Paco Rabanne always
does which is bring new things to the
table and when this particular fragrance
came out 1 million I consider this to be
a trendsetter or a groundbreaking type
of a fragrance because when it first
came out there was nothing in the market
that smelled quite like this that sweet
red orange that that blood orange up top
with that mint beautiful mint was just
amazing the rose just a phrase that took
over a room and to this day it's a
staple of my collection it's one that
I'm always gonna keep my collection if I
can help it let's look about 1 million
barf um guys I love the bottle here
again it's following suit but it has
this Sun outline here on the actual
bottle and the reason why it has this
Sun here is I'm gonna get to in just a
second I do like the sprayers the Spurs
are pretty good not great but does the
job and in fact let me give myself a new
introduction here to tell you guys what
I get in the introduction of this
fragrance so the 1 million DNA is
definitely going to be in the back here
but up front and center on this
fragrance the main difference are going
to be - you're gonna have a note of
tuberose which brings this floral
component to the composition which is
rather creamy and floral of course and
you also have this amber green sea salt
almost like a Sun Tan Lotion kind of
vibe they have the Sun right here there
is a combination of Accords here which
will translate to the beach like a Sun
Tan Lotion with the two boroughs it
gives you like this salty vibe not a sea
aquatic vibe but a very ambergris salty
creamy tuberose combination which can be
a little bit weird to a lot of people
but I actually like this direction that
they took I think this is definitely the
most androgynous in the collection I
think this could be worn by a lady
beautifully I haven't tried the female
version of this but I think my wife
actually loved this and she said hey I
think I'm gonna keep this bottle to
myself you may have to get another one
she liked this one so much and I can see
where she's going with this because that
floral aspect that suntan lotion kind of
Avadh gives off something that a lady
would like to wear a lot 1 million park
thumb is an oriental fragrance of woody
oriental fragrance I would as far as go
as an oriental floral
cuz of that floor aspect here were the
two boroughs which is really amplified
in this fragrance I would say the
fragrance starts off creamy sweet and
very indulging it has this really
seductive character too I love that it
retains the original DNA in the back
androgynous like I said a guy or gal can
pull this off beautifully I don't
necessarily think it's sweeter than the
original which a lot of people are
saying out there that this is the last
sweeter than the original I don't think
so at all I think it's actually more
mature than the original as you get into
the heart of the scent between thirty
five forty minutes you get this green
kind of nuance that you get with pine
trees this pine accord is also infused
here which gives us in a coniferous kind
of a vibe which I do love in my
fragrances you guys know how much I love
green fougères you know piney kind of a
kind of uh you know Accords and this has
it in the heart which makes it smells
like a million bucks
the main spiciness that you're gonna get
with this fragrance again there there
are many notes with this particular
fragrance so red pepper corn is gonna be
the spicy component in this particular
fragrance which adds this nice red
almost surely kind of a vibe but it's
really in the background really muted
it's not really up front and center like
that tuberose that I talked about and
there's also an accord here that was
made specially for this particular
creation and that a cordis is called
salicylate 'add salty solar accord which
gives this scent an amber ease salty
kind of a vibe which is really unique to
this particular fragrance I haven't
really tried a fragrance in the market
that has this particular cord or this
particular scent profiling character
which is really nice of them to do I
love them fragrance companies like
designers like this take a stab at these
niche like kind of a Accords and
different scent profiles they did that
very well with this particular fragrance
very well orchestrated extremely well
executed two more things will come to
play as the fragrance reaches the dry
down which is a leathery Accord which is
like a suede leather very smooth and
again in the background the tubu crows
is definitely going to be the main
player here you also have a touch of
Lebanon which adds a little bit of a
resinous feel to the composition when
you get into the dry down and the final
touches of the you know
transition and development of this
particular
on your skin well I can say about 1
million bar Foam is this is a more
refined flanker and more mature flanker
to the original 1 million just like I
think Prive was a more refined and more
mature flanker of the original and I'm
gonna give you guys a little bit of each
of these fragrances facets just so we
can compare them a little bit I talked
about lucky which has that nutty
hazelnut kind of a facet which I didn't
put it here in this compilation because
I think it's going a little bit off
viewing a little bit off too much of the
original DNA obviously you have the
intense here which really intensifies
the leather it's a great set if you
haven't try this when I think has been
discontinued kind of getting harder to
find
definitely great it's really potent
really strong and again amplifying that
leather Accord we have the one Mealing
cologne which is a more summer kind of a
release that they had a couple years ago
a few years back now I think 2015 or 16
if I'm not mistaken don't quote me of
that don't quote me on that one but one
being Cologne what this what this
reminds me of it's like if you took the
original 1 million and combine it with
another Paco Rabanne release which is
Bhakra Bund Invictus aqua so if they
took aqua combined with 1 million you
would get this particular fragrance
which a lot of people love so I
definitely suggest and urge you guys to
get a bottle of this if you think this
is too much you might really enjoy this
room the 1 million original it needs no
introduction you guys heard about it
it's amazing that mint beautiful rose
cinnamon just a bump right here it
smells amazing on my skin
transitions beautifully on me I know a
lot of people call its juvenile too
playful too childish but let me tell you
guys this is a complet monster on my
skin just leave it at that then we have
the 1 million Prive which is this
tobacco honey tobacco kind of infusion
what darker juice great stuff here if
you're more mature guy like tobacco
leathery tobacco honey kind of a sense
you're going to enjoy this I'm not sure
if this was discontinued enough but I
think it's still readily available today
and then this here is perhaps the most
underrated or the last known of the
flankers this is called absolutely gold
which was a very oriental take on this
particular composition adding floral
components like very deep rose I have
like three different Rose combinations
Bulgarian rose
ty froze and it also added a touch of
iris
dude guys that's right dude they add it
to this fragrance a lot of people say
hey every fragrance house it has an ood
fragrance how come 1 million ever had a
1 million owed they might do that like a
bat black bottle with gold
embellishments that would actually look
pretty cool but absolutely gold actually
has some food in it which made it really
different than anything else they put
out up to that point and I think it came
out in 2012 or 2011 very hard to find
these days and the fat shows a pretty
penny I'm glad to have this in my
collection again one of my favorites one
of the most underrated you guys aren't
me to do a GPU and a whole pack or a bun
line including the lucky and I could
talk about all of them please make sure
to leave it in the comments and I'll
look into doing that for you guys in
future videos three words that I would
use to summarize 1 million bucks fum
this is addictive it's bold it's deftly
seductive let's talk about performance
so performance of 1 million for fun was
actually really really good I'd get to
try a 1 million flanker or 1 million
fragrance that didn't give me a good
performance this stuff here gives me 8
plus hours if you spray your clothes
it'll be 10 Plus this is one of those
fragrance that you really have to be
cautious with the application if it's
really cold out you can go 3 or 4 if
it's warm out I wouldn't even wear this
stuff because it's that potent it's that
strong I would pretty much limit myself
wearing this early spring dead of winter
and perhaps fall not early fall but you
know deeper into the fall it's going to
be more for colder weather night out
dress here I think this would be great
for romantic settings I can see like I
said a woman wearing this beautifully or
a guy and I think either whatever
preference you have you're gonna smell
amazing whoever is going to be smelling
you will definitely love the way you
smell trust me
so our ages goes I think this is playful
enough it has some sweet characters
because it still has that original
character in the back however because it
has mostly a tuberose floral kind of an
aspect it is definitely more mature and
more refined version of 1 million I
think that this would be better for
people 25 enough to really appreciate
the scent I think other flankers and
other sweeter more playful fragrances
are available in a market that will
cater to a younger demographic but I
think 25 and up if you have a season
nose you're gonna dig this one my final
thoughts on 1 million parfum is I'm very
very happy with this perhaps one of the
best right now as it sits stuff
my top 10 favorite releases were
reaching the middle of the year right
now there's nothing on my top 10
favorites of 2020 in the designer game
this is what I'm talking about
I wish more designer and companies will
take note from Paco Rabanne for taking a
stab at being different to being unique
we saw that with toy boy from ASCII no
and I like when I see companies doing
things that are not following suit with
everybody what everybody's doing or
taking the same DNA s and scent profiles
just tweaking a little bit here and
there but it's essentially the same
fragrance this is not the same fragrance
it reminds you of 1 million but it takes
a whole different you know direction a
whole different ballgame 1 million
parfum could actually been released
under a whole different name this could
have been a whole different package a
whole different you know a standalone
release in itself that's how cool and
how different Paco Rabanne 1 million was
from the original guys I urge you to
check this out if you have it you can
find this discount that as I said before
