I remember when I first saw it... awestruck. Paco Rabanne's 1 Million. I bought this way back when it was not available in Canada, when I thought this could be my crown jewel of my whole collection. How times have changed since I first got this. I was not the first to do a review on 1 millions (Patrick got to it first) but I was early on 1 million before the hype happened. Almost a year has passed since I got a first sniff of 1 million and how things have changed. I usually bring samples with me on my travels, over 40-50 samples or what I am looking to purchase, what I already own or what I used to own. I brought 5-6 samples of 1 Million , once a staple that I could not get enough of. I can't do it anymore, it does not do it for me. It smells like pencil shavings to me now and I lost that love I had for it. Weird thing is maybe my nose is playing tricks on me , but I have never went from love to hate (well maybe not hate) so fast. Maybe I overdosed on this stuff but a regular in my rotation is going to take a step back as the fragrance I once fell in love with is not there anymore. Sorry 1 Million , loved ya and I will put you away for a bit hopefully when fall rolls around I can find the fragrance I once fell for.

New Thoughts on Paco Rabanne's 1 Million

ReplyDeleteI could never get into One Million. I don't know why. It's a great starter fragrance for newbies who want a clubbing or party scent that isn't something that everyone buys from Macy's or Sephora. The notes just feel too disorganized to me.
ReplyDeleteSame here! Don't know what it is! Loved it to death for two months and now it's on it's way to Romania for swap. I still kept a sample :)
ReplyDeleteAll I know that the fragrances have been used even in the past centuries and have been highly valued in every cultured.
