Which Should You Buy?
A warm, spicy whirlwind of a fragrance with a surprising amount of elegance, considering the price. It's got fans, though some argue it's just a 1 Million clone. Either way, it punches above its weight.
The Essence Vault's interpretation of Paco Rabanne's 1 Million (2008) - Christophe Raynaud and Olivier Pescheux's leather-cinnamon-amber blockbuster, here translated into a budget reading with the mandarin-cinnamon-leather-amber spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening and date wear.
