What does 1 Million Absolutely Gold smell like?

Red mandarin orange and peppermint open it, with cinnamon and rose absolute at the heart and iris and oud underneath. Floral and fruity accords sit on a sweet, gourmand base, while spicy, woody and leathery touches push it in an oriental direction, with a synthetic sheen running through.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and night out and evening wear lead the occasions. It reads masculine and modern. Rabanne 1 Million Intense and Milton-Lloyd Pure Gold have a close profile.
