Onyx

Wow! Probably my favorite from the sample set, and definitely glad that I blind bought a full bottle with the set after reading the notes and reviews. This stuff is wonderful. There's a strong resemblance to 1 Million Prive here, but with a distinct plum note giving it added character... Could be an illusion but I think I pick up some light booziness too. If, like me, you've been searching for a 1MP replacement since its inexplicable discontinuation - this could be it. The price is absolutely right too ($45 retail, on sale for about $30 IIRC) and you can't go wrong with the $1 sample set if you want to try the collection first. Full performance remains to be seen after I give it a few wearings, but I can say it's at least average if not a bit higher. 9/10 stunner, fantastic release. EDIT: So the price I listed is apparently for a 30ml, which also appears to be the only size option. That changes my opinion on the pricing significantly, since $1/ml is pretty standard designer retail pricing and there's a TON of good options in that range. Royalty Garnet seems to be a twist/clone of YSL Y for example, but for that price you can just get the real thing. I'll still buy this to scratch the 1MP itch and because it's just an awesome scent, but definitely keep $/ml in mind.

About a year ago, I got this a rack store for 10 bucks.. i went back 2 days later and got every one they had. This is an attractive winter fragrance that gets attention. I just knew I had a gem. This stuff is amazing. Sweet, warm, sharp. Its such a wonderful fragrance. I have never smelled 1 million Prives, but from what it says here, I dont need to because this is that. If you see this fragrance somewhere, dont miss your chance. This gives me the feeling that its not going to be real mass produced.. but i could be wrong about that. Also, I will add that yes, this does resemble CK One Shock. But Shock seemed to just disappear from my skin moments after spraying. This felt much more substantial.. more richer and thicker than Shock. I felt the scent cloud follow me with this. But with Shock it just floated away.

This was another great blind buy pick up for me. The quality is actually really good for being a cheapie. Out in the air it is quite beautiful. Turns out is is a great alternative to the discontinued 1 Million Prive. Has that 1 Million line type of sweetness but adds a nice bit of spice and vanilla to the scent profile that is great for the fall/winter, but if you're like me then wear what you want when you want. It has pretty decent performance at around 6-8 hours of longevity with moderate projection, on my skin at least. For what it is, and the price tag you can find it for ($20 for 30ml at TJ Maxx) it's a great pick up.

This is a beautiful fragrance, and while it does remind me of CK One Shock, it's not exactly the same. I haven’t had the chance to try One Million Prive, so I can’t say how close it is to that. But I can tell you this fragrance is really nice, offering a sweet and vibrant tobacco scent option for colder weather compared to something like Banana Republic’s Tobacco and Tonka or Mancera Red Tobacco. If you missed out on One Million Prive, you should definitely grab this. I can see why so many people regret not picking up Prive when it was on the market, but thankfully, we have Onyx Royalty as a fantastic alternative. 8.3/10

Fantastic. 💕. Excellent bottle and top quality atomizer. The overall sentiment from reviewers below is spot on. Similarities to a smooth jammy lightly spicy Sean John, Azzaro Wanted Night, MontBlanc Legend Night or Bad Boy Extreme (without the cacao) Plum notes similar to Carolina Herrera Cobalt or Paco Rabbane 1 million Lucky - but the vibe of 1 million Prive. ✅ Smells great up close or in the air. ✅ 8 hours of a scent bubble. ✅ Smooth, spicy 🫚 slightly warm and indeed elegant and sexy.
