Paco Rabanne 1 Million Elixir Review | Worth the HYPE!?

[@AGentlemansJourney77]

I love that line and you love my shirt. You're jealous that you don't have one of your own.

[@sumgi1537]

bro that shirt lmaoo

[@AGentlemansJourney77]

@sumgi1537 I know. My wife despises it 😁 I only bought it for video purposes 😃

[@ChelseablueDS]

Best 1 million flanker imo. Both in terms of smell and especially performance 💯

[@ChadSecrets]

That's fair. I think it's a great fragrance 👌

[@ipexity5041]

It smells amazing, lasts LONG and it's strong. It's definitely the best 1 million fragrance

[@ChadSecrets]

Definitely one of the best for sure 👌

[@J_Gaming16]

I’ve smelled this from a friend and at Macys and each time it smells absolutely brilliant. Definitely recommend it is a 10/10 fragrance

[@ChadSecrets]

It's a very good one. And it gets very positive attention!

[@FragAddict]

I get a sweet rose and creamy vanilla/tonka explosion. I picked up a backup of this. This is incredible during the cold days. Easily 2ft projection in the first hour, not beast mode but it’s a worthy elixir in my eyes.

[@ChadSecrets]

Fair enough. I dont get the rose personally 🤷‍♂️

[@FragAddict]

@@ChadSecretsthe Rose is the icing 🧁

[@terellkid1]

I would say this fragrance is a beast mode one or at least extremely close and I mean extremely lol

[@EduardoHenrique-nd1ro]

Thanks for the review, Chad! Love from Brazil!

[@ChadSecrets]

I appreciate you. Thanks for watching!

[@PapaZigg]

I had loved the edt about 10 years ago? Today i got the elixir, im glad its a little mature to match my age

[@ChadSecrets]

The edt is also still good. I like all the 1 million fragrances 😁

[@victorguzman146]

I'm 35 and I don't club but I love Elixir, Lucky, and Parfum- who cares what people think. Smelling good will not go out of style

[@ChadSecrets]

Very well said!

[@othmane-mezian]

Is it good for summer? Great video by the way! Thank you from Morocco

[@ChadSecrets]

Summer nights it should be okay 😁

[@othmane-mezian]

@@ChadSecrets Thanks a lot

[@ricarellan]

Love wearing this, makes me stand out a bit in my small town lol

[@ChadSecrets]

That it does. Its definetly a good one! And it gets attention

[@WhiteRangerTP]

My only problem with this fragrance is that it smells too thin... If that makes any sense. Its sweet and loud, but at the same time too thin, compared to dencer and richer smells in its category like stronger with you fragrances for example, or JPG Ultramale.

[@ChadSecrets]

I completely understand what you are saying. Almost airy.

[@WhiteRangerTP]

@@ChadSecrets yes, exactly. Like a sweet freshy. I do believe this is the reason you can use it in the summer as well to be honest.

[@patrickpolak2402]

I got a decant of 1M Elixir recently, served me well on cold days. Your description is pretty spot on Blast of fruitiness in the opening with the Apple, and Davana, as it dries down you get that sweet Vanilla/Tonka combo common to a lot of mass pleasing fragrances. I think I'll just stick to the decant though and not go for a full bottle when it runs out. I'm going to agree with you and still say Lucky is the best in the line. (From what I've tried.. wish I could try the Prive)

[@ChadSecrets]

That's understandable to just stick to the decant. There's no point getting a fragrance unless you love it! Lucky is my most complimented, and it smells extremely unique to me. Stands out from a lot of designers in my collection!

[@bogdanronaldo2054]

@@ChadSecretshey bro do you know where I can get lucky as here in Australia no one has any in stock, thank you bro

[@CarlRayanitch]

first time i smelt Le Male Elixir i remembered this one, super super similar but i prefer Le Male Elixir

[@ChadSecrets]

Le male elixir is sure hard to beat!

[@sumgi1537]

so do i. also i get instant crush for the first 15 mins. but after that it turns completly different. it turns more amber on my skin and it sadly smelled bad on me after that. i had to trade my botttle. i was bummed cuz the opening was amazing. iits a good thing jpg elixir and instant crush are similar from 1m elixirs opening

[@Gustyrd1]

i tested this one today and WOW what a surprise. It's STRONG to the point it gave me a headache lol but i like it though

[@ChadSecrets]

Haha yeah hard for me to like something that does that to me though! 😅

[@KaddShaddai]

Which do you prefer Chad? One Million Elixir or One Million Parfum..I’m trying to decide which one to cop next week

[@ChadSecrets]

I need to spend more time with the parfum to know for sure. I will have an answer to that very soon!

[@sagarchawla8145]

Hi chad, long time ! This one or the nightvision edp ?? Love to know your thoughts :)

[@ChadSecrets]

So different! I like both. If you like spicy more masculine go with the spicebomb because this ome is very sweet and feminine to some

[@shaunleonard3878]

My God! How tall are you vs. Chad? Good review! Lucky gets me the most compliments!

[@ChadSecrets]

I have a very long torso haha. Not sure how tall he is but i am just over 6'2". Lucky is one of my most complimented fragrances of all time!

[@andrewmilhoan3568]

I can definitely pick the rose up in the mid and dry down. It reminds me of the dry down of Pure Love by Montale if you removed the oud notes. I think the Elixir is a great flanker in this line…but you have to be ok with a little rose.

[@markbalki]

My favorite sweet scent. Warm, seductive, fresh, floral, fruity, rich. Masterpiece.

[@ChadSecrets]

Its a very nice fragrance 👌

[@LeonExile05]

Probably my 2nd fav of that line after Royal. It is very nice.

[@999triple4]

Should I get this or a backup for my 1 million lucky (love that cologne)

[@ChadSecrets]

They are both great you will unfortunately have to sample in store if possible because its a decision i can't make for ya 😁

[@c-notethepharaoh]

This and Invictus Parfum are the only Paco Rabanne’s I see myself getting. Probably Lucky as well

[@shave-a-thon3415]

What's the batch code of your bottle? I have a May, 2023 bottle. After about 4 uses, I'm finding it pretty weak. Little projection before it becomes a skin scent. A few others are mentioning the same thing about bottles produced after the first year.

[@ChadSecrets]

I compared to an earlier formulation and they are the same. Its just the performance was a bit hyped and its full of synthetics so you are probably going noseblind

[@victorguzman146]

Honestly, I can't decide what my favorite one is between the Elixir and Parfum....but my girlfriend prefers Lucky 🔥

[@ChadSecrets]

The girls seem to love lucky. All three are quite good!

[@JS-ol7jn]

What cologne do you like best or what do you find yourself using the most?

[@ChadSecrets]

I should make a video about this. Its too hard to cover in a comment but thank you for the idea 🙏

[@abysmal5599]

This is my favourite one, with Lucky a close second. I find myself reaching for this quite often as a dumb reach in cooler weather.

[@ChadSecrets]

It's very easy to like this one! Lucky is also amazing

[@alexxishere]

What’s a good winter fragrance that I can wear to school? I want something sweet but not too loud or expensive

[@ChadSecrets]

I usually recommend something fresh and clean for school. But sweet, i would say Coach for Men is a pretty good option not too sweet or loud but smells very nice

[@emadjw]

the rose was sooooooo heavy on my skin to the point I struggle sometimes to pull it off, I can pull off unisex or even feminine leaning fragrances, but with a fragrance like 1 million I spray it on to give me confidence if that makes sense, but I need to give this one confidence instead, its nice and extremely fruity, also a bit more mature than the rest :D, great review as always! also how is naxos for you now, did it macerate nicely?

[@ChadSecrets]

I appreciate you watching, and i completely agree. The rose isn't coming across to me, but the differences will be everyones own unique perspective 👌

[@EE12345]

Do women like this fragrance? I'm clueless about this but it smelled better than most other options

[@ChadSecrets]

It depends on the woman. Everyone is different

[@EE12345]

@ChadSecrets But there are fragrances that most women tend to like like Dior Sauvage, Aqua di Gio etc. is this one of them?

[@ChadSecrets]

@EE12345 im not trying to be difficult but just being honest. I know some girls that can't stand those ones. I feel women could find any fragrance attractive, on the right man. I have gotten compliments with this one and im sure if thats what your looking for it may work for that!

[@Bambi-hd9bs]

When did you test Hermes H24? (i want to buy it but im not 100% sure to this is the best for summer)

[@ChadSecrets]

It was a little while ago, and i just smelt a cut grass smell to me. It's pretty good, but imo more a spring fragrance. I will buy both soon and compare

[@aarshsaraiya3654]

Hi! I really want to buy one of the latest elixirs,which of the other elixirs would you rate as a beast mode fragrance? Also isn't it possible that it's a beast projector on suitable skins but not that beastly on others? I guess during your boss bottled elixir review you mentioned yourself getting loud projection even if others didnt quite review the same.

[@ChadSecrets]

If you're looking for a heavy projector, Dior Sauvage Elixir is by far the strongest elixir! Although that's possible, whenever i have confusion or a conflict of performance during testing, i always test it on others.

[@Gardocki74]

In addition to Sauvage Elixir, Gucci Guilty Elixir is beast mode. It is also very, very underrated and not many have it.

[@DC-sd1lw]

Le Male elixir (cheaper option) or Sauvage elixir- that’s a total beast! Phantom Intense is amazing too

[@haventhebeast2671]

Why does every fragrance from 1 million have to be just a clubbing fragrance 😂. I think 1 million elixier is good for the winter in general.

[@ChadSecrets]

Its very sweet and playful, attention grabbing. And when in an area with lots of fragrance like in a club thats what you want. I agree that they are more versatile than just a club. But they are great for it!

[@gliched_wolf]

I use it for school lol

[@rnxgaming53]

whats a youthful long lasting scent for someone with a $120-140 budget?

[@ChadSecrets]

Invictus victory elixir, jpg le male elixir, Azzaro the most wanted parfum. Can never go wrong with those 3!

[@tamziddewan2983]

Should I buy the elixir or the royal?

[@ChadSecrets]

They ar eboth different. So that will have to be up to you unfortunately. Try testing them in your local retail shop!

[@TearsOnABlackRose]

I have spent a lot of time experimenting with Paco Rabanne at Macy's. Paco Rabanne's Royal - yes, the one with the Ruby-emblem embossed on the front - is way, way spicier, hotter than his counterpart, elixir. Elixir is more Rosy-smelling and it has the highest concentration of PARFUM compared to his other bottles. Five sprays should be enough to fill a room and is the longest-lasting out of the rest of versions available. Elixir is possibly the sweetest most blossomy fragrance in his lineup, if not the sweetest scent after 1Million Lucky. I guess the question becomes.. would you want to smell spicy-sweet? or would you rather just smell girly-rosy and sweet with elixir? and project for hours Check out JeanPaul's "Le Male ELIXIR"

[@islamway962]

it is my signature one , for me this perfume is the best one in my life

[@ChadSecrets]

That's a very good choice. It does smell great 👌

[@sumgi1537]

i love the opening. it smells like the most wanted, instant crush and jpg elixir to me. but sadly the drydown is terriblle on my skin.i had to trade it for cdnim le lol

Well, cdnim le is a very good one. Can not beat it for the price!

[@WhiteRangerTP]

My favourite 1 Million flanker became Royal. It won my love because of the compliments it got me on dates. Girls really praised Royal like its the perfect date scent to them. And now it got associations with this hot girl i dated that liked it and she had black curly hair, red lipstick and sexy legs in black pantyhose. When ever i smell royal now, i remember that date

[@ChadSecrets]

Royal is the one that nobody will appreciate until its gone. I think its great!

To be honest if I didn't know anything about fragrances and I saw this on someone's shelf, I would think it's an automatic air freshener.

It really is! One of those addictive scent profiles for sure

[@RejanZaimaj]

Is it guaranteed fake if theres no number in the back?

[@ChadSecrets]

Its very hard to see but it should be there yeah.

[@jasonwrites9186]

Maybe it's my skin, and I guess it is, but am I alone in this just performing so poorly? I would get killer performance with the original, with the Parfum, and even with Royal. But this one is just so soft. Nice! But soft. I find it's less attention grabbing and more of a date scent for me, which is not at all what I was expecting.

[@shave-a-thon3415]

My batch code is 31501 (May, 2023) and it also isn't a top performer. I find that even the latest Million Gold is stronger. Unlike those early bottles from 2022 where everyone was saying it was beastmode, my bottle seems like it's nearly a skin scent!
