What does 1 Million Intense smell like?

The opening pairs saffron, black pepper and cardamom with the fruity sweetness of mandarin. In the heart, rose absolute, cinnamon and neroli add a floral warmth. The base of patchouli, white leather, orris root and sandalwood leaves it woody, leathery and gourmand-sweet.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards nights out and evenings. It reads mostly masculine and modern. Rabanne 1 Million Absolutely Gold and Rabanne 1 Million (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
