Rabanne1 Million Parfum

Most Helpful Critical Review

1 Honest Opinion

I have always wondered about reviews on colognes, parfum's, perfumes, etc. It seems to me that the cheap ones smell like alcohol and "Whatever" and the more expensive ones, well to say what they smell like is relative. To start with, parfume's, etc. all smell different in the bottle than on the bo...dy, and then they have to be applied and allowed to rest, and even then it (you) will smell different to you than to someone else. So at the end of the day, It's personal... They all smell different on different people, and that's fine. Fragrances usually fall into certain categories, whether good or bad, like, flowery, musky, spices, citrusy, etc. Paco Rabanne 1 Million Parfum smelled fine in the bottle, it had a mild musk-like odor to it and was fairly pleasant, not overdone. However when applied (2 different times) It seemed to have a scented soap odor, to both myself and my wife, this was a first for each of us. on the plus side, it was not overpowering and it lasted a very long time... at least 24 hours. The marketing is WAY over the top and definitely geared towards certain cultures and lifestyles. My recommendation would be to get a sample and try it on first, maybe you will like it, or better yet, maybe she will. As for value, I can't comment on that because it apparently does not get along with me, so I would not buy it.
