“I'm a long-time user of this fragrance.I can confirm that I received a real bottle (note I bought directly from Amazon.com, i.e., their official distribution, not one of the third parties selling on here). However, the bottle I received (2022 batch) has markedly less performance/longevity compared to my prior 2017 and 2019 bottles.Unfortunately, this classic fragrance has been reformulated one too many times now. In 2024, it is really starting to show when it comes to the longevity of the fragrance when directly compared to my 2019 bottle, which I still have.All in all, I would still buy this if you luck out on a great deal. I managed to buy it direct from Amazon for only $42 for 3.3 oz, which is an absolute steal. It still smells incredible, a masculine masterpiece, however do temper your expectations a bit as this has been reformulated...”
“Paco Rabanne's Million Elixir has notes of hazelnut, tart plum make the senses vibrate in this woody, sensual, and addictive fragrance. The fragrance is light enough to not be too overpowering. While I don't think that I would wear this cologne daily, I keep it around to change it up every once in a while. This was a small test sample so I cannot comment on the actual product packaging. The fragrance family is earthy and woody. It gives off warm woods scents and has key notes of hazelnut, green plum, and cedar.”
