Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 1 Million Cologne EDT
A divisive flanker that barely smells like its famous progenitor, 1 Million Cologne is a fresh, floral take on the line. Expect big rose and citrus that some find feminine, but others adore for its refreshing twist on a tired classic.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 239 Rabanne 1 Million EDP
A near-exact reconstruction of 1 Million Cologne's marine-citrus-cardamom top, rose-juniper heart and tonka-leather base, one of the more accurate dupes in this line.
