Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive beast. Some reckon it's a classy upgrade to the 1 Million line with a unique woody-citrus blend, while others can't get past what they call a 'body odour' or 'pickle' note. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if it works for your skin, it's a stunner with serious staying power.
Bleu de Chanel's citrus-ginger-woody formula is a reasonably approachable target, and this dupe's opening is fresh and close, though the sandalwood-cedar base is thinner and doesn't carry the original's smooth, long-wearing signature dry-down.
