1 Million Elixir

First time i smelled it was in mall.I tested 4 colognes, 1 mil edt, 1 mil royal, 1 mil gold, and this one 1 mil elixir.All of them i sprayed on different parts of my arms, gold and royal was good, but they are bo that unique and seems super similar to the other rabannes colognes like invictuses.1 mil edt is a classic, i love it too, def give so much confident and succes vibes.Its the same as shows in ads, especially with Jordan Barret.Next day i changed gold to gold elixir and royal to 1 mil parfum.Gold elixir is good but again not that unique dna, and gives east vibes.1 mil parfum is a top tier fragrance too, but super floristic, more unisex and summer.And now finally the elixir.First thing I noticed after hanging all day that other fragrances lost most of scent, but elixir stayed, and it was like standing longer and opening sides of it scent.All this 1 millions similar at the opening, but later everything changes.When i came put from mall i smelled all of them, but when i smelled elixir i just experienced nose orgasm.I didn’t expected it would be so fantastic, it was same feeling when im first smelled swy intesly.Yeah it sweet from vanilla, but that vanilla is really different from other companies vanillas, theres a guy below describing this vanilla moment.This sweetness just so perfectly shimmers with woody note.Idk all the base notes that opening at 2+ hours bit this two feels like heaven.Even swy dont have that gorgeous combination.Also about longevity, i sprayed it 1.5 days ago and i went to sleep, was hanging and went to gym sauna and shower and idk how this banger still remains a bit at my arm, other colognes totally disappeared.So for me its a 10/10, best at this moment for me, only one fragment i can compare it to is initio absolute aphrodisiac, but its way overprised.So i fell in love with this one, later will say about compliments. I dont smelled prive and lucky but i think theyre even better, but there no of them in my country.

Scent 8/10 Unique Crisp sweet apple similar to original but less sweet and more balanced then a bunch of florals that blend amazingly and balanced out with vanilla which is purely sensational has a light soapy feel like floral laundry detergent but very sweet its that type of scent that nobody would complain if they smell it at all in my opinion its an underrated and is one of the best one million flankers I put it under sweet floral powdery unisex (a bit more masculine leaning than feminine) On its own its amazing although Can be layered with musky Or heavy oud scents this will elevate it and make it more complex trust me Versatility 3/10 Definetly not an everyday what so every you will get sick of it and hate it its just an occasional thing that some times fits perfectly best for going out with friends while wearing a sweater (not strictly winter tho) at night or day doesn’t matter will pull so much compliments (6-8sprays are enough) can be worn any time don't get me wrong but go light like 2-4sprays and you will be fine Sillage 8.5/10 On an windy cold day absolutely amazing and addicting scent trail and sillage it is just perfect what you would expect just like og one million but a much better scent Overall 6.5 The only downside its not versatile like it needs to be bit more masculine and less sweet (can be annoying if sprayed to much) to be worn everyday If you just like the og 1 million no adult man would wear it to office everyday like come on If you spray 2-4 sprays the scent is not as prominant and probably smell like as a like a floral detergent and people will associate you with this smell like why would you do that ? Its just a going out fragrance i call it the floral ultramale ( not similar scent but similar vibes and mood to wear it ) but not even as versatile its just a great unique scent to put in your collection

Sampled and wore it until it was gone. Strong smooth sugar sweetness! It's powerful and sugary but totally noncloying. There's more to it than just sugar, I think I get the osmanthus nuance, and I think it is a bit apple-ey and definetly vanillic. Also what I thought was a mandarin note (the geranium?) was soo strong on initial application but faded almost completely quite quickly. Anyhow I (and the average untrained nose would) find the scent a smooth sweetness with a lil depth. Simple but so addictive and yummyy. It's just soooooo good. Also, PHENOMENAL performance. It’s not sticky but it really sticks to you! It spread from my fingers to places I touched the day I sampled... I sampled at 4pm and could still smell it on the arm I sprayed and the hoodie sleeve it touched the very next day around 10am... and I did some exercise on the evening of the first day, and I live in a hot humid climate in general! Projection is great too! (Update: It’s been SIX DAYS and it's still noticeable strong distinct on my hoodie sleeve. I DIDN'T EVEN SPRAY IT ON THE CLOTHES My hand with it applied on was just INSIDE the sleeve. Good Lord. #NEEDTHAT.) As a whole: Surprisingly, it's absolutely amazeballs. I love it and would 100% wear it (it's unisexyy), but I would Looooove it on my boyfriend. I mean the whole reason I tried this frag in the first place was scouting colognes for him, but I want a bottle for myself now lol. I’m definetly gonna snag a bottle for us to share one day, we'll wear it together to match!, just walking around radiating a cloud of yummmmmy sweetness!!! P.S. To the guy who said "Bih compliment farm": 1. LOL, 2. Yeah facts I'm a girl and if I smelled this on a guy It's a Woah!

Overall, do I like 1 Million Elixir? Yes, this is one of the better 1 Million releases. I think it’s about on par with the original, and the other flanker Royal. The Parfum, Lucky, Gold, etc aren't bad, just not my cup of tea. The opening and first quarter of the wear is really the best part. After that, the vanilla and tonka bean take things over fully, and it’s not as dynamic. Not that it’s bad, but some buyers with more discerning noses may not be impressed about the later parts of this fragrance. The davana was a bit too short-lived, while the osmanthus and apple pairing is great while it’s got the center stage. But, that first bit is definitely strong enough to warrant a try or buy of 1 Million Elixir. This scent is for sure in the same vein as the Stronger With You line or Ultra Male. Though, the latter is much sweeter and has a spicier cinnamon note. Either way, it’s not exactly the same as either of them and stands separate enough to be a distinct fragrance. The smell is quite attractive and the performance absolutely delivers what you’d want from a 1 Million scent. I got every bit of 10-12 hours of strong performance. I don't think this projects more than about 2 arms lengths, but it definitely wears "heavy" and leaves a strong sillage trail. I wouldn't recommend this for warmer weather either, this was built for cool and cold temps. Finally, if you can find this for a good discounted price online, say between $55 - $70 depending on the bottle size, you should absolutely pick this one up! (I got a 100ml tester for a smoking price on Gift Express for $55).

I finally got around to trying 1 Million Elixir. I will say that I like it very much, as I always aproach Rabanne's fragrances with the spirit they intend to bring to the fragrance market: lightness and playfullness (both very much needed in this hobby). Anyway, from now on men can finally wear something in the vein of La Belle by JPG in pubblic, and not only to bed as a guilty pleasure (I know I'm not the only one!) and say it's a fragrance meant for men, as 1 Million Elixir is very, very femminine leaning. They're not ideantical, of course, but that fresh fruit (pear for La Belle, instead of apple) and vanilla combination puts these two fragrances in the same cathegory: fresh fruity vanilla gourmand. I was prepared for a high level of sweetness, but I didn't expect to find Elixir so fresh throughout its life on the paper strip (I haven't tested on skin yet). So fresh that I suspect I could rock this very sweet fragrance even in spring. I can still detect some (unlisted) cinnamon here, which the davana note hasn't completely replaced, in my opinion. This is good news for those who avoided the original eau the toilette for that heavy dose of cinnamon, although I don't think the same people would find such a sweet fragrance appealing. All in all, a very well made designer fragrance that even the most nieche obsessed can enjoy as a guilty pleasure from time to time.
