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 Water follows Paco Rabanne's 1 Million Cologne, the fresher, lighter spin on the gold-bar DNA. The cardamom-citrus-and-sea-note opening over a soft spicy-leather base reads recognisably, though the dupe flattens the warmth and fades faster than the original - an easy fresh-spicy summer take.
