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.
Magical Money follows Paco Rabanne's 1 Million Elixir, the syrupy apple-rose-vanilla gourmand take on the gold-bar DNA. The fruity-floral opening over a rich vanilla-tonka base reads recognisably, though the dupe flattens the dense sweetness and fades faster than the powerful original.

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.
