Which Should You Buy?
A decadent evolution of the 1 Million DNA, Elixir is a crowd-pleasing powerhouse of syrupy vanilla, juicy apple, and plush rose. It's unapologetically bold, sensual, and built to turn heads after dark.
Million Oud Elixir follows Paco Rabanne's 1 Million Golden Oud, that dark Middle Eastern spice-and-oud take on the gold-bar DNA. The saffron-pepper opening over an oud-leather core reads recognisably, though the dupe flattens the opulent depth and fades faster than the powerful original.

Seasons
With its rich vanilla, tonka, and rose, this is a dense, sweet, and warm scent that excels in cold weather. Overwhelming in summer but perfect for winter or chilly fall evenings.
Occasions
Very bold, sweet, and sensual, this is better for nights out, dates, and formal events than for daily office or gym wear. Its projection and sweetness can be too much for close quarters.
Seasons
The spicy oud-leather warmth is built for autumn and winter and turns overpowering in summer heat.
Occasions
Bold and opulent, it shines for dates, evenings and dressier occasions; the depth suits nights over the office.
