When I first tried this one, I immediately thought, “yes this is for the younger ones!” I did get a sample and gave it a try. I’m 51 and I wore this on a night out. I fell in love with it and so did the people around me. The sweetness does die down a bit after 1/2 hour or so. This one is perfect for group settings- age does not matter 😊. Love your content.

He's very clever. I actually asked for daddy, homme and onyx but ultimately bought boss bastard, alpha man, raw cherry and got a free 10ml of blood orange.

I'm 35yrs old coming 36 in a few weeks time and I have to say I absolutely love good sweet fragrances. Im trying to explore more oriental fragrances but always get suckered back to sweet fragrances lol but 1million elixir for me works amazing on my skin. The projection I get from this is amazing and the longevity is outstanding aswell. I love it that much I own a 100ml and a 200ml bottle so won't be running out anytime soon.

36y/o here and not gonna lie, I really enjoy sweet fragrances😁. Rather they are fruity sweet or warm sweet as long as there is a fresh element I'm probably gonna like it. The opening is a bit much, the apple is HUGE but that vanilla ice creamy like drydown is very nice and performance on this is really really good. Thx for the review!

@dantheman2907 2 күн бұрын

I'm in my forties and this was my signature scent for nearly a year. I never noticed the apple in it until I spent some time away from it and started getting more into fragrances, trying to pick out the different notes, and now that apple is clear as day. It is a very sweet and strong scent. Overspraying will clear out a room. Two to three sprays is plenty and would last easily 12 hours with enough projection that people around you could smell it (huge projection for the first couple hours), and as a skin scent it would last over 24 hours, even after a shower. On clothes it literally lasts weeks.

just imagine Aaron would drop a new fragrance with only naturals in it (idk if this is possible) I also love fragrance with huge amount of naturals, I wouldn't care about the price actually

@CarlosCoelhoLechner 2 жыл бұрын

He stated a few times that the sweet spot for him is about 2/3 aroma-chemicals to 1/3 naturals. This is considered fairly high in naturals in the fragrance industry. Personally, I agree with that being the sweet spot. From a business standpoint, higher naturals come with the nightmare of harvest variations which makes it hard for batches to be consistent (in all aspects: performance variations, scent profile difference, price fluctuations, etc). An example of this is Creed Aventus: if you bought the 2016 and the 2017 batches the difference was huge and a lot of people got enraged. The predictability of aroma-chemicals is a great asset, both to the process of crafting a fragrance (perfecting a scent is an iterative process) and in order to consistently meet customer expectations. Despite naturals offering “fuller notes” fragrances with very high natural proportion tend to be very poor performers, which is also something nobody likes. It is possible to make a 100% natural fragrance, that’s how ancient people did them before we had modern chemistry. It’s just not very practical nor does it wield good results.

I have over 60 different kinds of cologne,including some niche,Layton, Sedley (Sucks and made me feel ripped off)! But my #1 favorite is YSL Y edp! So I was at work and my friend was wearing a sample of 1 Million Elixir,and I kept smell this cologne off him,so I asked him what it was,and later told me because had forgotten! I definitely like it despite you saying that older guys won't like it! Ps. I like Layton a lot but Sucky Sedley makes me want to never buy any niche again! 💩

@robertarmstrong6015 2 жыл бұрын

Reviews of a fragrance after a couple minutes of applying makes absolutely no sense to me....whether one is a professional perfumer or not! Also...Aaron typically gives very little indication of what a fragrance actually smells like...it is more of a description of its chemical composition which gets repetitive since most fragrances are constructed in a similar fashion. For my purpose...I need to hear about the scent character at each stage of a fragrance...the notes responsible for same and of course comments on the performance which can only be accurately given after extended wear (anything else is speculation). Hopefully we get a bit more of that from these reviews.
