I love designer and niche, have tried many many fragrances, and Million is one of my all time faves. But so is Aventus; I think with popularity comes very vocal haters-- not as many people dislike it as you think, the few people who DO dislike it are disliking it out of fear of being judged, and are much much more loud and vocal about it, because they want to differentiate themselves from "beginners" in every way possible... including avoiding highly likeable fragrances. Those are the type of people to wear "acquired taste" fragrances that actually DO offend people.. Edit: Also nowadays, you can still wear these kinds of popular fragrances and stand out from the crowd A) because everyone else ends up NOT wearing it out of the same fear, B) because you can wear it lightly in a way that is more mysterious and alluring, and C) because your fragrance should not be what you depend on for standing out. Wear what you like, and especially what your (ideal) spouse would like. That's it.
Actually people this days, at least in my country, dont really use 1 million, because they usually associate the entire line with the edt and say "ohh its very old" without knowing that it has around 10 flankers that smell differently. You got the Prive which is in the same league as PDM Oajan and Angel share by kilian. You have Golden Oud which smells very niche and nothing like a sweet party scent. The rest can be described as sweet and loud, but many flankers have a twist. Royal is a ladies favourite and i had plenty of girls telling me its seductive and a perfect dating scent. Sweet and loud but with a darker twist, like a dark chocolate scent. You also have Lucky which is sweet and loud, but also fresh with this nutty plum scent. Elixir is fruity sweet and energetic, Parfum is slightly solty and floral for the summer and the beach. I think people dont give the flankers a chance because stereotypically they decided all the gold bar bottles of the line are just the same DNA which is wrong. Its like saying all white or black people are like this and that. Its a perfumery racism towards 1 million as a line.
I like the original, but not every day. Sometimes, the sweetness can really be overwhelming, and it's hot where I live, so it also can also be too strong and headache-inducing at times.
Newer batches are weaker but not totally water, the vintage was very strong like the flankers are now, im sure in a decade or so ita be water and some flankers will disappear while others come or the line could end, thats y i collect because they wont stay the same formulation long.

One Million Prive is and was the best one million ever! Maybe you have the opportunity to make a video about it
I've only seen positive things about that.
I’m not crazy about the original but I do like some of the flankers. The Parfum and Elixir specifically.
Haha. Habe immer noch die 1/4 des ersten Flakons aus 2008/09 rumliegen. Denke es wird mal wieder Zeit den nach 15 Jahren aufzutragen. Good memories

How is the edt? Good last long?
I can have the sweetest fragrance from this list. It smells delicious. It smells edible ☺️. I really love it 😀👍

100% agree....definitely a cool weather or cold weather fragrance.
Sounds great where the climate is cold + snow👌 Super sillage 👌
I used it a while back and it kinda makes me sick now. I bought it years back but hasn't really got much use
I find it utterly sweet (though I like sweet parfums) and unsophisticated.
Awesome review thanks. I also believe it’s your body ph and what you’re wearing clothes wise. Don’t look like the guy with two guns blazing.🤣🤣
One million is amazing fr fr.

There are so many flankers for One Million it’s hard to follow 😂
It’s over rated and savage
Sauvage*
How can peak be hated, literally the best fragrance
I dont like it. Its a mess of a frag
