The review
One Billion scores 5.9 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing 1 Million.
ALT Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is 1 Million's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $48 per 100ml it costs 62% less than 1 Million — the 5th cheapest of 11 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength ALT Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Paco Rabanne 1 Million is blood mandarin, grapefruit and mint at first, cinnamon, spicy notes and rose at its heart and amber, leather and woody notes at the end. ALT Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- blood mandarin
- grapefruit
- mint
Heart
- cinnamon
- spicy notes
- rose
Base
- amber
- leather
- woody notes
For the one who wants noticing the instant they arrive, all glittering grapefruit, cinnamon spice and leathery amber, brash, sweet and unapologetically loud.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
