Which Should You Buy?
1 Million is a bombastic, party-starting cologne that leaves subtlety at the door. Its sweet cinnamon, warm amber, and leathery undertones guarantee you'll be noticed, loved or hated, but never ignored.
Rich is Perfume Parlour's budget shot at Paco Rabanne 1 Million, that cocky, instantly-recognisable cinnamon-leather-amber crowd-pleaser. The grapefruit-and-mint sparkle giving way to spicy rose and blond leather reads true, though the dupe is sweeter, flatter and fades faster than the bold original.

Occasions
Its room-filling projection and hedonistic sweetness make it a clubbing and nightlife staple, too bold and loud for most offices or formal settings. Best for casual wear, parties, and youthful date nights.
