This parfum has a welcoming sweet and woody smell which I tend to prefer. I would say the scent is just slightly on the cool side but I wouldn't argue if someone else says it's more warm. I find that the parfum dries lightly on the skin with my usual two sprays to the chest. The trial size I received does a decent job atomizing but hopefully the bottled product does better. The packaging it came with describes the parfum as liquorous rose, smokey cedarwood, and vanilla absolute. I agree with the rose, vanilla, and the cedarwood;however, not very smokey. The first day I wore it, I must admit the scent was pretty strong and might have given me a slight headache. I had to wait a few days to try it again, also why I took off a star. The next time I wore it, no headache ... MoreThis parfum has a welcoming sweet and woody smell which I tend to prefer.

The next time I wore it, no headache accompanied. I would caution that the fragrance is quite strong with my usual two sprays along and it lasts about 6 to 7 hours before it fades. If you are sensitive, I recommend getting the trial size first. Otherwise I would still recommend this parfum to those interested in it as the fragrance is a very enjoyable and playful blend once you get used to it.

This is an incentivized, but honest review of Paco Rabanne 1 Million Elixir. Upon first spraying it on, 1 Million Elixir is most certainly a pleasant scent. It opens up nicely with a nice warm apple scent. The downside for me is that as the dry down continues that apple becomes completely lost. As the fragrance begins to sit on my skin a little longer I feel like the heart notes almost go completely unnoticed on my skin and it skips right on to the base. I believe that is where the fragrance really shines. The vanilla, tonka bean, and patchouli blend quite nicely and bring on a nice long lasting scent. The biggest downside for me is that it doesn’t last too long on my skin and requires a reapplication twice throughout the day for me.

 I want to start by saying that this isn’t necessarily a scent that I would wear. However, I do have good things to say about it after testing.  on two separate occasions me and a couple friends tested the sprayer and the one thing I can say about the scent is that after leaving the house for a couple of hours working in the yard lightly, and returning into the house, the scent was still noticeable. There is a sweet double layer, which is not necessarily my thing, but it does have a pleasant, non-intrusive set. It reminds me more of sandalwood sent, which I am not partial to. It is not oily, it is not drippy. As far as value this was sent as a tester, and I’m not 100% sure what the price on it would be. I will say that the package seems flashy for the scent if ... More I want to start by saying that this isn’t necessarily a scent that I would wear.

First I'll start with being a huge fan of 1 Million parfum. It's high quality, great projection and long lasting. Elixir is supposed to be stronger than parfum right? This one is not. I would say it's more diluted than the parfum. I'm not saying I don't like it. It's still a really good cologne but it smells quite different than parfum and doesn't last as long. For a summer scent with apple and floral and fruity note then this is for you. It projects well in the summertime heat especially when you sweat. For a strong, winter fragrance, I'd recommend 1 Million Parfum.

Paco Robanne is a designer house, that’s been around for quite some time. I believe this elixir was the #2 one after Dior Sauvage’s version. That one smokes this rather weak performing flower and vanilla mess. Simply put I don’t like this elixir. There might be some powder and pear nuances I was able to detect, but it’s simplicity and less than desirable strength, put it in the do not buy category. I believe it’s unisex and leans feminine too. Taste is subjective, but I was lucky enough to trade this one. It is popular, but to me that means nothing. As for the container, the gold bar finger print marker is getting old. The atomizer is good, but nowhere near spectacular. There are better choices from this brand, and I’m still trying to understand why they ... MorePaco Robanne is a designer house, that’s been around for quite some time.

There are better choices from this brand, and I’m still trying to understand why they discontinued Reserve. That was their best ever. I can’t in good faith recommend this, based on its notes or performance. At best it’s a skin scent, and not worth the high price of admission.

This review is part of an incentivized campaign. I received this product for free from Influenster and Paco Rabanne in exchange for my honest review. This fragrance is somewhat similar to the others in the 1 Million Line but with a lot more vanilla and gourmand notes! It is pretty similar to the OG 1 Million but much much more vanilla forward. The performance on this is also stellar (much like the other flankers) and I got a good 8 hours out of it. The wife liked it but said it was probably better for the colder months due to its sweetness! A solid fragrance for a date night in the colder seasons!

This is a refreshing take on the original 1 Million that adds a little bit of elegance without being over the top. There is the same initial hint of light and sweet bubblegum that transforms to a woody vanilla and Tonka bean as it dries down. It is masculine without being spicy or overpowering. While this scent is more refined than the original, it actually works better as a daily wear while still being appropriate for special occasions. Unfortunately, the performance for me seemed to be weaker than 1 Million EDT. It produced less of a scent bubble and wore off more quickly. Overall, it's a pleasant entry in an already successful line but needs a little more power.

Bolder Version of 1 Million.

I love the smell of 1 million, so when I saw the intense elixir, I decided to give it a try with positive hopes that it could be better and last much longer. However, I have not been disappointed. The first bottle, ended up going as a gift to a male friend who always commented that he wants only the one that I had on. He said he wanted the same one that I am using already, so that he will be sure its the same one he usually smells on me. I have bought a second bottle now because my boys in the who were using the first bottle with me, were so unhappy that I had given it out to a friend. I confidently recommend this parfum. It lasts the whole day on your body and it is suitable for all ages from above 18 years upwards

Long lasting and brilliant smell

The EDT, EDP and elixir are all different scents. This one in my opinion is the best one out of the 3 not only does it last forever since its an elixir wich is more concentraded. The EDT is more rich, moody with heavy woody notes while this one is more light and sugary. The apples, roses and vanilla notes are brilliant while being carried by some woody notes and patchouli wich make the perfume last longer. Overall Paco Rabanne whole perfume catalog is a no brainer and all their perfume are amazing and nicely priced i would suggest looky into these if you are new to fragrances. I highly suggest this one and you should at least spray it on your arms at your local Sephora.
