Which Should You Buy?
A cult classic gone too soon, 1 Million Privé is a sweet, spicy tobacco masterpiece that has the community clamouring for its return. Don't fall for the dupes, though. If you can hunt down an original, you've found gold.
After Effect is Rebel Aromas' budget take on Initio's Side Effect - the same boozy rum-cinnamon-tobacco-vanilla skeleton, but flatter and louder up top, fading to a thin skin scent within a few hours where the original keeps building.
