This channel is such an oasis. Incredibly informative. Objective reviews. Brilliant editing.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Much appreciated!

[@kensprings5887]

Snobbery is such a toxic thing! I love this fragrance, always have, always will. I will never victimize a fragrance for its success. With a massive collection, I wear all my fragrances once in a long while, and it's a pleasure to revisit this every now and then. I love your reviews!

[@NGameReviews]

I could never enjoy 1 Million. Not because of its success, but because I generally don't enjoy like the scent. Smells like too many notes clashing against each other. So I get this really dense leather fruity and spicy mix that overwhelms my nose.

[@1987198719871]

@@NGameReviews when I smell it makes me think of it as a thick sweet custard kind of smell... love the stuff!!!

[@mrcherrytits]

It's a nice scent for about an hour. I just feel like you smell like every dude when uou wear it. Finding a great scent that not many wear is a great thing.

[@DarkEtherealRhythm]

@@NGameReviews people needs to start spending their money on what they like and not based on reviews nor to applease others. People that do that, what a sad life.

I'll never forget this fragrance because when I was 21 a whole bottle of it was dropped and smashed on a plane in the seats next to ours, 4 hour flight with nothing but this overpowering stench the whole time. Had the worst headache and sickness when I got off and whenever I smell this I am reminded of that. LOL.

[@ionutalupei9505]

I had 1 million in high school, fresh released and it was fire. One of the fragrances that opened my nose for more than "smell good, clean, that's it" I like when you take your time to breakdown fragrances like this, kind of game changers for public. Big up!

[@NiKoJlaY]

I have this fragrance from August 2022, I didn't know that this fragrance is so popular until I didn't start to watch YT video about fragrances, I like it ,same as JPG Le Male, I'm from a poor country and I never smell before those fragrances. I really like 1 Million and Le Male and for me doesn't matter what 'fragrance community' is think about them. Thank you very much for your's amazing reviews. I would like to hear yours opinion about one of my favorites fragrances Histoires de Parfums 1740, It's so amazing and original.

[@juricadogan3870]

Yep, I am from a poor and terrible smelling country too and nobody looks down on me no matter what I wear. We are blessed, my friend.

[@blankmandastankman]

They’re excellent when you’re in a small country, where rarely anyone else will be smelling like you, and clone fragrances are almost impossible to come by/sell. But here in good ol’ over saturated America, if you smell something as nice as 1 Mil or Le Male, you’re guaranteed to see several people take it on as their signature scent. Which isn’t a problem, not as big a problem as the people who love it so much that they make sure everyone within a 3 mile radius can smell them. When people do that it Makes it real easy to get tired of a scent regardless of how amazing it smells

[@hworth3]

Love it for how you wear it. KZbin has many people who love and hate fragrances but what matters is how you feel when you put it on. Grace and peace to you in your home land.

[@SimonTBam]

When all is said and done the single most important thing s that you like it and you wear it because you like it. In reality it does not matter what anyone else thinks. You have the right attitude.

[@SimonTBam]

The other thing worth remembering is that even in rich countries like the US or UK or Europe etc. 9 out of 10 men don't even wear a fragrance, certainly not on a daily or regular basis, so regardless of what you are wearing pretty much, you are always going to smell better than 90% of the other guys out there.

[@antrumkfpsalatschleuder8768]

I liked the 1Million EDT a lot for quite a time and I still think it’s good. This year I bought 1Million Parfum and now it’s the perfume that I wear the most often, I like the sunscreen vibe it gives of.

[@speakgoodorsilence2205]

My favourite

[@frogface2009]

does it give a summer vibe and can u wear it in winter?

[@speakgoodorsilence2205]

@@frogface2009 it gives sun tan lotion but in a pleasant way. I can see it as being a signature scent. It’s dense enough to breach through the cold

[@antrumkfpsalatschleuder8768]

@@frogface2009 it gives of more a vacation vibe than a summer vibe. It gives of the vibe after one whole day chilling at the beach you shower and dress up and go for a nice dinner and stroll though the old town somewhere in the Mediterranean. You can pull it of in winter but I personally would not wear it when it’s snowy and really cold.

[@josephbarker6608]

Agree it's fabulous and probably the best 1 million

[@fragmericanidiot]

Honest reviews, no snobbery, and the most graceful moving hands. ❤ u Aaron 😊

[@ElliotBrownJingles]

I love this guy. He describes perfume as some would describe classical music.

[@TheJofrica]

Trends fall out of fashion, including clothes, music, art, etc. There is a point right after that happens where it's not "cool" to engage in it. But then after a brief period of repose, it then becomes "cool" to reawaken the trend and revisit it. I think it's safe to say this one has gotten past the point of "not cool" to where it's now "ok" to revisit it. Great channel and analysis as always. With regards to 1 Million, I absolutely love the 1 Million Lucky and may swoop up a bottle sometime. Peace

[@hworth3]

I still like this fragrance. I’ve owned it for years now. It’s not my current favorite but it gets wear for sure. 1 Million, Lucky, Elixir are really nice. Didn’t have Prive but wanted it.

[@theshrocknpiper2685]

You are the best reviewer on KZbin. Thanks for all the great videos!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Wow, thanks!

[@Olsen-vp5vg]

I’m actually a massive fan of the original Paco Rabanne Pour Homme from the 70s, but I resisted 1 Million for a few years after it’s release out of snobbery. One day in a store I tried it and fell in love. It’s initial blast is very sweet, but it settles out over time. You’re absolutely right about the cleanliness, it’s a lot cleaner smelling than most “oriental” type fragrances. Even though it’s youthful, I love to wear it in the winter. One of my favorite fragrances, a total guilty pleasure.

I Love the elixir version on my boyfriend. It smells sometimes like wet sand, but I mean that in the best possible way. Something alluring. But I'm going to buy him something else, because i'm getting tired of smelling the same over and over again. Need to switch it up sometimes.

This reviewer deserves more subscribers than it has. Love your reviews

[@cristianconstantin46]

Still in love with the Edt by One Million, has a special thing in my heart, also the Sauvage Edt. I have the Elixir version this days, and the Lucky, maybe one day I got a bottle of the Edt, is clever and for me the time is not change 😅👌

My eldest brother still wears this, he's late 40s. It still smells great on him so 🤷‍♀️

[@markart157]

LIKE A BOOOOOOOOOSS!!!!!!!

[@Figureight]

This is the fragrance that started it all for me. I had always assumed all perfume just smelled like a clean soapy citrus scent, until I got my hands on a bottle of this for Christmas. This is the smell of my 20s.

[@Aaron.Drake.Ames.]

What are some other fragrances you've found that are similar?

[@Figureight]

@@Aaron.Drake.Ames. none really. I see it as a bit of a juvenile scent for me now so i don't look for stuff like this anymore.

[@user-bq5oh3es9z]

In 1990, Joop Homme broke the mold for men’s fragrances; it took 10+ years for 1 Million to push that envelope even further.

[@snappiegappie]

I too was a snob, the cheesy gold packaging, the fact everyone was wearing it. definitely marketed towards the young and flashy. but as i smelled something that was similar to one million, i found out one million has mint which I like. tried to smell it at the shop and actually liked it. Might have to pick it up as the performance is good and the smell as well.

[@heatherfear8500]

The last 2 times I’ve asked what someone was wearing, it was this. Apparently I love it.

[@colinnotyou0k78]

I purchased it year's ago and loved the opening, but as it dried down, my nose kept focusing on the rose note and I started to hate it. But on other people I enjoyed it, I believe it's because I'm smelling it on them at arms length, but on me it was just to close, all the time! Best smelt in the air as a cloud I reckon.

[@NothingButAPeanut]

Skin chemistry and everyone's sense of smell is different, as are their preferences. On me this smells like a chemical sludge, overly sweet and vomit inducing.

[@NGameReviews]

@@NothingButAPeanut kinda smells like paint on my skin, i dont how else to describe it

[@CinHotlanta]

Yeah, I like a wide range of scents, but the sweet stuff stays among my favorites, and this one is so very well put together. I agree it's very synthetic, but so is original A*Men and it's also dazzling.

[@november-bravo]

“I can’t be bothered reading this” 😂 loved that

[@christopherpastion809]

Great review.. finally made my purchase and I agree 100% with you. I happen to really enjoy it and I’m 40 years of age.. there is a synthetic vibe to it but I love sweet spicy clean smelling fragrances. This is up my alley and I don’t care how old it is or the time and place of it… looking forward to wearing it

[@will.i.am_copeland]

Aaron. Thank you so much for these reviews. It's so very interesting (and important) to hear your insight into the elements that folks like me wouldn't otherwise hear or learn. So, I absolutely appreciate the work you do and the passion with which you do it. Thank you!!

[@ohfour-seven6228]

Thanks for mentioning the snobbery found in the frag community. I have a few scents that have been out a while and are no longer in fashion and although the community is done with them, I still wear them and love them. As always, great review!

[@gabimassi8265]

10/10 review likes always... well done Aaron 🙌🙏🙏🙏

[@time4jesus]

I'm not a big fan of One Million, and I haven't come across a Paco Rabanne fragrance I actually liked since the original Pour Homme. However, I do find them innovative, trendsetting. One Million is pure genius. Ladies love it on young men. If I were in my late teens or early twenties, I reckon I would like it a lot more.

[@markhart6743]

Love all your reviews!your honest & unbiased opinion plus the fact that you appreciate most fragrances even if they are no to your taste as fragrance is such a personal thing One million is a timeless classic that I very rarely wear but will never be without it! It’s certainly a compliment monsters garnering more compliments than many of the other 100 ish I own

[@oscargutierrez4770]

Thanks again for the great review. Its been on my to get list since I started collecting fragrances 2 years ago and I will finally be getting a bottle today.

[@1987198719871]

Orginal formulation circa 2008/9 1 Million was absolutely amazing!!! Current formulation completely sub par.

[@kylem8811]

Couldn't agree more. Used to be a powerhouse it certainly ain't now

[@jarydf]

Both PR 1 Million and the somewhat similarly ambery CK Obsession for Men are great old school places to visit every now and again.

[@michaelvitale4029]

I never had this, but one of my all time favs is Paco Rabbanne, the original green bottle. I also recently bought Ultra Red, and love that too. It's a very reliable house.

[@d3adeyes]

I love 1 Million and still wear it. I think it was a natural progression from CK Obsession to 1 Million to walk into the future with. I still love Obsession also.

[@moonbalancedd]

It reacts VERY WELL on my skin chemistry. Its just very grand.

[@Frank_999Scoobydooby]

Aaron, would you please review what is considered by many the Best One Million flanker, One Million Absolutely Gold? I have it, I love it. I enjoy your reviews, and can relate you your story

[@TheRoarWithin]

I got this yesterday and I absolutely love it.

[@Lionheart.]

Always liked this one, on my skin is more spicy than it is sweet wich i find awesome. People do hate on fragances that are popular and sell well....they want that false sense of "exclusivity" but in the end all of these companies are massive for the same reason, they sell and sell a lot. (And most of the other fragance channels do tend to be snobs about popular scents too wich further increases the "hate" cycle).

[@removelimitbreak7524]

Love your personality and reviews and I am greatly looking forward to trying your work. You're awesome bro.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I appreciate that!

[@anthonymiller8365]

Just bought and received your OUD perfume. Phenomenal 👌👌👌The only room for improvement is the labeling on the bottle.. you probably know about this... However the smell itself is ❤️❤️❤️

[@SimonTBam]

I think removing the snobbery factor is a good thing, and to have a REAL PERFUMER praise the work of others is I think generous. I do not think any perfume is entirely free of synthetics regardless of cost as there will always be certain fragrances that cannot be created from natural ingredients, so I think the Frag Comm concentration on criticizing perfumes that are heavy on synthetic ingredients is a little disingenuous. I actually quite like the fragrance, but do not wear it because I feel it is not really designed for my age group. I did however wear the One Million Cologne, which I thoroughly enjoyed but this was discontinued unfortunately. Keep up the good work Aaron.

[@David_1982_7]

This one will always stays in my collection. When i wear it, people like it. Classic asf!

[@louiefiend]

Love the amazing reviews! Just my opinion I think you should wear the black t shirt or a white t with the black backdrop

[@TreVader1378]

Back in the day I did like it, but like you said, you smelled it everywhere you went, now I much prefer the flankers like lucky and preve and the elixir.

[@morgan872]

I'm on the side of the fence of, "Wear what you want to wear." Is it played out? Well if so then noone has been wearing it. So wear it. It solves two problems. You're bringing it back, and you wear what you enjoy. I personally know so many people that avoid what they love to wear simply because it's played out. Quite tragic.

[@kuhliloach8842]

I love Paco 1Million very much but the mentioned notes make no sense to me. For me this is a linear fragrance I enjoy for the bubblegum grapefruit opening. At the heart and drydown I'm already over it and wanting it off me. For me that's just "perfume" -- it either opens nicely with a terrible drydown OR it has a challenging opening that goes somewhere beautiful as it sits. I rarely feel a fragrance works on all those levels. The difficult openers make nice skin scents later too; these are the ones I really like the most. The nice openers, when they do NOT turn into good skin scents, are not suitable for dating.

[@UKJLo]

I first had this about 7 years ago when my mum brought me a present back when she lived in the UAE, loved it then, when I used it up I bought another bottle and kind of went off it.

[@matheya]

I like it for myself ! A lot of mens frags are now sweet and very unisex. The female version has the honey which I don't like. All the other femme scents are very sweet for me. So I have to accept a few mens fragrances in my collection. I'm in denial still. :))

[@juliochingaling5824]

Thank you brother for another honest review. God bless. Great hair style.

[@aleksavujacic]

Can you do a review on a new unique niche Mancera fragrance, called Tonka Cola. It has coca cola, cherry, lemon, patchouli vanilla and cinnamon as a main notes. It looks like it would be new star maybe, so i am interested in your personal opinion.

[@andreaorozco9660]

I'm a woman and I love this scent on me. It smells like warm cinnamon and orange on me. One spray is more than enough for me!

[@virtusleather]

The Privee is actually a banger, fwiw. 🦄👍🏻

[@DarlingNikki2]

OMG, yes, Prive is my baby! Unfortunately, I think it's discontinued or being discontinued, and has always been like the red-headed step-child of the 1 Million line. Not sure why, but it's such a great scent, especially for cool/cold weather. Falls into place with D&G The One EDP, Montblanc Legend Night, etc.

[@charliebad]

Still nice, had 2 bottles, just bought Lucky recently which seems a natural progression of the line. Would like to hear some reviews of Ormonde jayne montabaco intensivo or muscat. Thanks.

[@darriangario3447]

I wasn't a huge fan when I first smelled it as a new fraghead. But the sales person kinda threw it at me maybe I'll go back and give it a go . I was also wearing bvlgari wood essence as my first purchase which is super dry.

[@zerxkydc532]

Hello ✌️ Since your a chemist of scent and perfumery. I have question for you. I have a particular cologne that I love the scent of but each time I use it,if I use it on the heavy side it seems with inn 15 minutes the scent of it makes me really sleepy for about 15 -20 minutes... Can you give me any feedback on if this could be the ingredients of the juice ....

[@NothingButAPeanut]

Getting One Million taught me a lesson early on in my fragrance journey to never buy perfume based on the opening. I liked how it smelled when I sprayed it on. But, by the time I got home it made me so nauseous I just had to scrub this off my skin. It's sickly sweet and extremely synthetic smelling.

[@zahubshahid7944]

What a coincidence because I learned this very lesson last night. I wanted to get my hands on Dylan Blue so I went to my local store and sprayed some on paper cards they have nearby the fragrances. The opening note was actually brilliant so I decided to walk around the store and let it dry down a bit. I smelled it again about 10 minutes later and oh my GOD it smelled awful. It was one of the first fragrances I've smelled in a long time that was just plain bad and offensive to me. I waited another 10 minutes to let it settle some more and it didnt improve so I threw the card away and left.

Got the 200ml for 30 euro or something like that. I think the bottle's quite funny, the button for the atomizer isn't my favourite. I think the scent's likable. It can make you go hungry indeed, bottled apple pie. The fragrance community prefers originality in general and thus can be vocally against successful scents. Phototoxic? Can the oil of grapefruit react to sunlight in such a way it can become allergenic or something?
