Personal review: In 2008, Paco Rabanne has launched a cologne that became, almost immediately, a worldwide record sales: 1 Million.

It was created to conquer faithful users, where every detail of its conception was thought to generate followers and awaken the greed and the desire of others. Its bottle was inspired by a gold bar, having as line of thinking, the idea that in all civilizations and religions, the gold has always been used to seduce people. In addition, the scent is amazing and powerful. The result of this combination of luxury and power, became one of the biggest cases of sale, in recent years, in the world of masculine perfumery.

The success was so big that the popularity achieved by sales came to be seen as something negative for some, who thought the perfume as an exclusive piece of seduction, facing the "playboy" who gets what he wants, with a simple snap of fingers, as was shown in the ad campaign. However, it was not just the public who sympathized with the mixture of insolence, seduction and elegance that this cologne brought. Young men were seeking new weapons of seduction for their unfinished nights, in which it would take something more to help them stand out amid the crowd. It is ready the recipe for success!

Now, to continue the 1 Million saga, Paco Rabanne has launched recently, a more powerful version yet, called 1 Million Intense. In fact, in 2012, there was the launch of a more concentrated version called 1 Million Absolutely Gold, with fewer notes in its composition and with more floral appearance and rich leather. Little is heard of this around here, in Nigeria. 
So, let's get down to business in this review: talk about 1 Million Intense!
Basically, this version was born respecting the title received, which means it is an intense version of the traditional, with little change in its composition, retaining the DNA of the original version and praising parts of evolution that deserved a greater prominence before. So, what's changed?
Well, just in the beginning, we no longer have the mint. Now the composition brings the sweet cardamom, allied to a pepper, that warms the senses, as well as notes of saffron and red mandarin (or blood mandarin). At 1st sight , it can be felt a more "juicy" scent, almost “vanillaish” and fruity than in the original version. In the heart, the rose and cinnamon were kept, but the mix of spices gave way to neroli (orange flower oil), extolling, even more, the fruity fragrance tone. At this point of evolution, when the heart notes are more noticeable, the rose and neroli absolute reign, for hours.
Finally, an even more creamy base, without the amber and woody notes, but with the presence of sandalwood and iris butter (which is not as dry as the notes taken from its root). The notes of leather and patchouli were maintained.

The bottle suffered a slight change: the back, in dark glass before, now has a golden hue (gradient), giving greater sophistication. The projection is terrific for about 3 hours, getting quieter as it evolves on the skin; the lasting is as good as in the original version.
In my opinion, we have reached a new level!
