The One Million line is a guilty pleasure of mine. A bit loud? Yes. A bit youthful? Yes. Aimed at the masses? Yes. Tacky bottle? Yes. Cool, I’ll take a relentless line of flankers please.
Same here. Most of the line is outstanding in my opinion. Elixir, Parfum, Prive and Lucky are my favorites. Once I smelled the Parfum is when I actually tried the line out and I wish I gave the others a chance before then.
So true on Prive. It was gorgeous and the bottle alone made me want to buy it. Was very disappointed when I found out it was discontinued and very hard to buy
If anyone is close to Canada you can get Royal there if you don’t want to wait for it to come in the mail. I was felling iffy about at 1st spray.. but It does smell Better after it sets in on your skin, and it lasts a LONG time
It’s gentle yet masculine, has a very calming effect similar to an ASMR tingle. I find it endearing, but I’m sure it will vary person to person as most things do so I can only speak for myself.. Fantastic fragrance overall and I’m sure underrated as everyone seems to go for the original or the elixir, but I think I’d buy this over those as well. It can definitely “wow” you on the opening.
My dad wore the original Paco Robanne from the 70s. As a young teen in the 80s I followed in his foot steps. I strayed for a few years when I was in the Army but retuned when XS debut. One of the most amazing fragrances ever. Followed by XS pure. With the absence of XS I discovered The 1 million line about 6 years ago. I am amazed at how Paco Robanne can be so successful at creating these fragrances. I have received more compliments from women and a few guys wearing Paco Robanne than any other fragrance I’ve worn. Actually I’ve never received any compliments wearing other fragrances. Cheers…. Satisfied for over 40 years.
A guy on fragantica said it reminded him of Joop and I agree. I smelled the 90s in my head but couldn't put my finger on it but it's joopesque, not identical but that aura. Having said that I loved Joop and I really like this one.
I absolutely adore this fragrance, love both the opening and dry down. I’m a fan of the 1 Million range and sweet men’s fragrances in general. I also love the Emporio Armani SWY range.
I smelled this in stores, and it struck me as similar to Rochas Moustache EDP, not 1 to 1, but once my bottle of Moustache is empty I might consider Royal as an alternative. The citrus up top and benzoin cedar patchouli combo in the base really reminds me of Moustache quite strongly.
Most brands do constantly release new lines - just unless the flagship product hits a home run, you're unlikely to hear it talked about as much. It's just smart business sense that once you make a new fragrance that does become a smash hit, you seek to variate on it rather than just leaving it be and making totally new fragrances. Plus if you look at the industry as a whole, not just singular brands, then there's new brands and new lines popping up all the time - one of the only issues is that in the internet age where everything can be catalogued and indexed, it's harder than ever to make a fragrance that stands out as truly unique and isn't just a variation on some other fragrance from a year or ten ago, even if it's a different brand and bottle.
I have the original as well as Elixir. Both sweet, with many feeling too sweet, especially Elixir. By the time you get in your car and get to where you’re going, you’re way past what you’ve experienced as far as the opening is concerned, so it almost makes zero sense to mention any disdain for the opening when it comes to having any concern about it. Every single time I’ve worn Elixir, somebody has said something positive. Both guys and girls. I can’t imagine this will be any different being that it’s the next 1mil flanker with just another twist, I’d gather.
@@emaadfurqan I bought mine I believe back in February. I honestly have not heard anything about reformulations. For me it lasts a long time and projects nicely.
I tried this one out today (but not on skin) and the opening was amazing, very sweet and fruity. I'm confused when I go to fragrantica because the accords they have there are totally different
Original tall bottle of Black xs was the best . I recent bought this million .. it’s a little loud or powerful Not as soft and loving I would say as black xs
I completely understand what u mean about the opening. It's the same way I feel about Invictus victory. I think it's just a mess of sweet notes that's a bit off-putting to me while others really enjoy it
OneMillion remains a guilty pleasure for me, when I started getting into fragrances, I was all about OM Privé, from which I had a sample. I find the other flankers overly sweet and bubblegum-like, but ngl, I would by Privé in a heartbeat for nightouts. Otherwise, this line I find too youthful, and it lives somewhat of a revival, as a fuckton of people is using it again. For a sweet heavy scent I would rather go for a more mature choice like Red Tobacco or Men in Black.
I'm pretty sure the opening may grow on you after some time. I couldn't stand encre noire when I blind bought it and I was on verge of giving it away to my friend but I decided to let it stay with me a bit longer and now I think it's one of the best frags I have.
@besiano lala I don't know what it is with Elixir but it's just too much for me. The worst blind buy I've made besides another Paco Rabanne release Phantom. It might be the Devana that throws me off.
I'm big fan of the OG 1Million, used quite a few bottles and i also⁷l used 1million elixir lately not a fan of it. And for the Royal, i smelled it at the store, i find it a bit different, its not bad not my typa frag that i'd buy & wear !! I must it's the most mature one of the million line..
Does royal be redundant if we have le male le parfum. Since based on fragrantica, lmlp is similar to le male elixir, and le male elixir have that same bit similarities with royal. ( Based on the votes there).?
Hey guys have all see the new S.W.Y.Amber for Giorgio armani what is up with that amber is used as a vanilla Accord sometimes if I am wrong please tell me but I think it is going to be like 1 Million sweet what do all if u think about it
Excellent review. Glad you can still convey an honest, respectful review of yet another bubblegum frag while acknowledging it’s not desirable for guys with your own more sophisticated taste level.
Aaron Terrence Hughes gave this a 10/10 he is a perfumer and this guy is a frag reviewer , who u are going to trust ? By the way Ash should interact more with people who leave comments
Do the different 1million types actually smell different or once you have 1 you have them all? I love 1 million but I don't want 2 aftershaves that smell too similar in my collection. I like to have a variety. Love the bottle though it's tempting.
I love all your videos, I just wanted to know your opinion, I plan to use encre noir al extreme during winter for office, for outings with friends I plan to wear Bentley for men intense, for summer office fragrance I was confused between Rochas moustache EDP and Dunhill Icon, please do suggest I want it to be long lasting but office safe for summer
If you’ve never got your hands on Paco Rabanne 1 million absolutely gold pure parfum, then you’re missing out. It is hard to find, but one of a kind-I have a tester and an unopened full bottle to keep around.
You are absolutely correct- It is my favorite of the 9 types that I have- I have a back up bottle or two for all but Royal and the Cologne...- Original, Prive', Elixir, Intense, Absolutely Gold, Lucky, Cologne, Royal and Parfum.... ( 3 bottles of Prive' and 3 of Original)
IMO Elixir, Lucky, Prive… bangin’ ladies love it from 18 to 55 ladies compliment it. The elixer one lassssst so im interested to see the performance of this one.
One million lucky is still in my top 5 favourites. Absolutely beautiful! Interested to have a try on this.
I‘m 44 years old and i love Paco Rabanne! 1 Million Parfum and Invictus Elixir! I love these two the most! 😍
The One Million line is a guilty pleasure of mine. A bit loud? Yes. A bit youthful? Yes. Aimed at the masses? Yes. Tacky bottle? Yes. Cool, I’ll take a relentless line of flankers please.
Lucky is amazing. I'm happy to have 2 100ml bottles.
@@0rokuSaki I really enjoy lucky as well!
Same here. Most of the line is outstanding in my opinion. Elixir, Parfum, Prive and Lucky are my favorites. Once I smelled the Parfum is when I actually tried the line out and I wish I gave the others a chance before then.
Love this energy
Yes, me too !!!
Do you want mass appealing fragrances that will get you compliments? Get Paco Robanne! Don't worry about the haters.
Its best for spring. It smells like a rose to me at times. Its amazing. It definitely tranforms on skin. My favorite from line. Parfum is second.
So true on Prive. It was gorgeous and the bottle alone made me want to buy it. Was very disappointed when I found out it was discontinued and very hard to buy
If anyone is close to Canada you can get Royal there if you don’t want to wait for it to come in the mail. I was felling iffy about at 1st spray.. but It does smell
Better after it sets in on your skin, and it lasts a LONG time
Just ordered 1 Million Lucky last night before the stock dries up!
@_Gents_Scents hey thanks for the shout out dude! I love your channel so much

Great video Ash. In your opinion is Royal better then the Parfum or the Exlier?
Prive was one of my faves, still can’t believe they discontinued it 😢
Agreed
Fax was my first cologne I got in middle school when it came out and wore it till I graduated
Prive was disgusting
I mix the 1 Million Elixir with the Royal 50/50 in refillable bottles, perfect combination.
It gets compliments.
Got
My first bottle form the one million line. The elixir. Really enjoy it! Looking into the other flankers now
I absolutely adore this fragrance, love both the opening and dry down. I’m a fan of the 1 Million range and sweet men’s fragrances in general. I also love the Emporio Armani SWY range.
Frag houses love flankers because they can reuse the same bottle design as well as take advantage of peoples compulsion to complete a collection.
Prive is the best of the line imo.
Yes
it smells just like Oajan
Great first impressions video and I enjoyed it and can you do a full review when you test it out and have a blessed day
Gonna try and get this one…RIP Paco Rabanne 🙏🏾
1 million elixir is well made, will need to sample this.
I smelled this in stores, and it struck me as similar to Rochas Moustache EDP, not 1 to 1, but once my bottle of Moustache is empty I might consider Royal as an alternative. The citrus up top and benzoin cedar patchouli combo in the base really reminds me of Moustache quite strongly.
This one is better than I expected, actually. I quite like it
I really wish we could get brand new fragrance releases instead of every fragrance getting 3-6 different iterations of the same thing.

Nothing wrong with pleasing people. 1 Million ROYAL is the absolute bomb 🤩🤩😍😍🥰🥰looooove it on my hubby

Hello, when did you buy it? has it been reformulated? Is it weaker now?
@@emaadfurqan I bought mine I believe back in February. I honestly have not heard anything about reformulations. For me it lasts a long time and projects nicely.
parfum my fav then elixir

Yeah true
Original tall bottle of Black xs was the best .
I recent bought this million .. it’s a little loud or powerful
Not as soft and loving I would say as black xs
Yes! About time an English take on this! 💪🏽
Paco rabanne one million royal is amazing it has a little toned down sweetness and it very long lasting
I completely understand what u mean about the opening. It's the same way I feel about Invictus victory. I think it's just a mess of sweet notes that's a bit off-putting to me while others really enjoy it
I agree too which is why I gave mines away, but I recently smelt it on someone and it smelt very nice !
Yes, Quentin Bisch is my favourite perfumer.

Pahaha! Totally different kettle of fish. In fact, you’re comparing fish to candy.
I loved the OG 1 million and the main reason j bought it was the bottle 😂😂. That was in HS . All these years later I still like the bottle
1 Million Royal vs Elixir - which one ? please suggest...
I love 1 Million Parfum and Lucky but hate 1 Million Elixir. I may have to check this one out since cardamom is one of my favorite scents.
Haha i Love Elixir but i hate Parfum😅
@besiano lala I don't know what it is with Elixir but it's just too much for me. The worst blind buy I've made besides another Paco Rabanne release Phantom. It might be the Devana that throws me off.

I totally expected the next One Million flanker to be called, "One Million Absolut"
Technically there was a flanker called absolute gold. It’s been discontinued for a couple of years now
Does royal be redundant if we have le male le parfum.

Hey guys have all see the new S.W.Y.Amber for Giorgio armani what is up with that amber is used as a vanilla Accord sometimes if I am wrong please tell me but I think it is going to be like 1 Million sweet what do all if u think about it
For me the best are, Edt, Lucky, Elixir and this Royal ❤
Absolutely Gold, Prive', Intense and Elixir
Rip Paco Rabanne the man
What website did you use to order?
Can't wait til u review the new Kilian and stronger with u amber probably the 2 I'm most excited for....
Excellent review. Glad you can still convey an honest, respectful review of yet another bubblegum frag while acknowledging it’s not desirable for guys with your own more sophisticated taste level.
So because a fragrance is sweet it's not "sophisticated"😂😂😂😂😂😂
*farts into a wine glass and takes a sniff* "Mm. Yes, yes, how decadent the odor of my own flatulence"
F in the chat for the homie prive 😢
F 😭
ASH…. Keep up your honesty and integrity.. we smelly Gents Depend on ya

Just got it in from France today. Absolutely love it.

Where does this rank in the line for you? Lower end sounds like?
1 Mio Royal is for me: La Nuit de L'Homme in a warm, spicy Paco Rabanne-DNA😎👌
Personally nothing so far beats One Million Prive, its really the best in the line, really disappointed that it’s discontinued
That stuff is magical
Lucky is great
@@debusen81 it is 🤙
They said its making them too much money so they had to axe it
I liked Lucky and Parfum too but you’re right the Prive was the best version
If you’ve never got your hands on Paco Rabanne 1 million absolutely gold pure parfum, then you’re missing out. It is hard to find, but one of a kind-I have a tester and an unopened full bottle to keep around.
You are absolutely correct- It is my favorite of the 9 types that I have- I have a back up bottle or two for all but Royal and the Cologne...- Original, Prive', Elixir, Intense, Absolutely Gold, Lucky, Cologne, Royal and Parfum.... ( 3 bottles of Prive' and 3 of Original)
I enjoy one million Elixir. How does this compare to? Great video :D
Thank you
I want a leather scent. Can you do a video on best leather scents or even reply with some solid options. How about ombré leather?
🔥
Any news on when it’s coming to the US? Is Sabina a trusted website?
Sabina is trusted. I bought several ADG Parfum bottles and they arrived to the states in 7-10 days.
The best one ever ❤
❤🙌🏽 let’s go more releases, lighter wallet haha
Ash, are there any other designers that you would say this smells similar to?
better than Elixir?
No
This one is in my bottom 2 of the 9 - ! millions that I own- Not terrible but not in top, either.
Belk in Camden Sc has lucky and 1 m prive for sale
I want to try this out
One million elixir is awesome, parfum a little less so.
The opening doesnt last ages but i actually like it all
This is exactly how I feel about it!
Just got it it’s worth it
I want this Ash!! Your wife is a smart woman! I agree with her!
I think One Million Royal is a solid release.
I miss one million prive, would rather they cancel the release of one million royale and bring back prive.
Anyone have any suggestions for a Prive replacement?
Oajan
@@Spitsinbums thank you, haven’t heard of it. Probably because it costs $350 a bottle 😳
Teenagers are going to love this one.
Just order this one tonight Royal tonight in 100ml for $113 Canadain 🇨🇦 off a discounted web sight 😁😍
For noobs like me, you could do some videos on how many sprays one should use with each type of fragrance and why.
Hmm let's see what Azzaro Wanted edp does...
FINALLY
RIP Paco Rabanne
Did they name it One Million because that's the target amount of flankers they're making before they retire it?
"F" for Mr Paco as well.
That's money on money lol 😂😆 🤑💰
IMO Elixir, Lucky, Prive… bangin’ ladies love it from 18 to 55 ladies compliment it. The elixer one lassssst so im interested to see the performance of this one.
Pass this one
Just got a bottle. That 💩 is banging!!!
Yessirr 👍🏽
As a One Million guy, I'll wait and get a decant 1st.
My interest is not very high on this. I’ll wait for bottles to hit the stores so I can try it out one day lol
Its solid but its probably the worst in the line. Performance ain't great either
I love it! But it is so sweet that they have banned me from wearing it in my gym, for bringing to many carbs in.
When one million finally recognises it’s Cuba origins and uses the name Royal 😅
Can someone help me find a clone of 1 milion Royal please!!!!!!!
Blanda Brooks
OG or Royal?
Its another shower gel scent and thats it!
