    It’s gentle yet masculine, has a very calming effect similar to an ASMR tingle. I find it endearing, but I’m sure it will vary person to person as most things do so I can only speak for myself.. Fantastic fragrance overall and I’m sure underrated as everyone seems to go for the original or the elixir, but I think I’d buy this over those as well. It can definitely “wow” you on the opening.

    My dad wore the original Paco Robanne from the 70s. As a young teen in the 80s I followed in his foot steps. I strayed for a few years when I was in the Army but retuned when XS debut. One of the most amazing fragrances ever. Followed by XS pure. With the absence of XS I discovered The 1 million line about 6 years ago. I am amazed at how Paco Robanne can be so successful at creating these fragrances. I have received more compliments from women and a few guys wearing Paco Robanne than any other fragrance I’ve worn. Actually I’ve never received any compliments wearing other fragrances. Cheers…. Satisfied for over 40 years.

    A guy on fragantica said it reminded him of Joop and I agree. I smelled the 90s in my head but couldn't put my finger on it but it's joopesque, not identical but that aura. Having said that I loved Joop and I really like this one.

      @pootytang69 Рік тому +1

      Most brands do constantly release new lines - just unless the flagship product hits a home run, you're unlikely to hear it talked about as much.
      It's just smart business sense that once you make a new fragrance that does become a smash hit, you seek to variate on it rather than just leaving it be and making totally new fragrances.
      Plus if you look at the industry as a whole, not just singular brands, then there's new brands and new lines popping up all the time - one of the only issues is that in the internet age where everything can be catalogued and indexed, it's harder than ever to make a fragrance that stands out as truly unique and isn't just a variation on some other fragrance from a year or ten ago, even if it's a different brand and bottle.

  • @slikjmuzik
    @slikjmuzik Рік тому +7

    I have the original as well as Elixir. Both sweet, with many feeling too sweet, especially Elixir. By the time you get in your car and get to where you’re going, you’re way past what you’ve experienced as far as the opening is concerned, so it almost makes zero sense to mention any disdain for the opening when it comes to having any concern about it. Every single time I’ve worn Elixir, somebody has said something positive. Both guys and girls. I can’t imagine this will be any different being that it’s the next 1mil flanker with just another twist, I’d gather.

  • @richardhollo8629
    @richardhollo8629 Рік тому +7

    OneMillion remains a guilty pleasure for me, when I started getting into fragrances, I was all about OM Privé, from which I had a sample. I find the other flankers overly sweet and bubblegum-like, but ngl, I would by Privé in a heartbeat for nightouts. Otherwise, this line I find too youthful, and it lives somewhat of a revival, as a fuckton of people is using it again. For a sweet heavy scent I would rather go for a more mature choice like Red Tobacco or Men in Black.

    For noobs like me, you could do some videos on how many sprays one should use with each type of fragrance and why.

    Another great video with great content and an eloquent delivery.
    On a side note you're really letting yourself go. Gym and bring some style back my man.

    I love it! But it is so sweet that they have banned me from wearing it in my gym, for bringing to many carbs in.
