Paco Rabanne 1 Million After Shave Lotion 100ml

Product Information

However, it’s certainly still wearable during the spring when the weather is still a little fresh. However, it may become too heavy for the summer. That said, it might be a fair choice for late summer nights spent clubbing on the coast. This updated concentration of the internationally acclaimed, original Elysium parfum cologne (2017), opens a new and exciting chapter for this iconic scent. A stepped-up and enriched experience in comparison to the founding fragrance, this new Eau Intense reimagines the original by increasing its three defining signatures: fresh, woody and sensual characteristics. The freshness of the top becomes even brighter and more succulent, the woodiness of the base becomes even dryer, warmer and more rounded and the musks become more sensual, bringing an extra depth which runs throughout the fragrance; weightless and luminescent in the top and animalic in the base.

Catering to young adults and teenagers, 1 Million is a power frag with a sillage and longevity that can be detected miles away. Indeed, it’s an enormously powerful fragrance with an enduring longevity that will effortlessly last you throughout the day or night. Aftershave products are sometimes mistaken as eau de cologne because they are similar in nature. Manufacturers use fragranced aftershaves to increase their sales and to encourage consumers to use their products. Aftershave products are mostly used by men since they are the ones who have facial hair. These products give them a refreshing feeling after shaving.

What are the properties of a fragrance?

An eau de toilette contains more perfume oil than the aftershave (typically around four to eight per cent). This higher concentration means that if you put it on post-shaving, your skin is likely to turn blotchy and red. An eau de toilette lasts around six to eight hours.

Being worn so commonly, it may have lost its original appeal and even be considered as overwhelming. There were some that also noted that it came across as overly synthetic and found the sweetness cloying. Opening on a bittersweet head of grapefruit, blood orange and sharp peppermint, 1 Million begins with a sharp head, which retains a somewhat mellow roundness. The sharp minty sensation contrasts against the bitter mellow citrus spice.

How we test the best men's fragrances and aftershaves

All Tom Ford creations share something in common: they have a characteristic confidence, a luxe appeal and the inherent ability to unleash the provocative. Cherry Smoke, a new addition to the designer’s top-tier Private Blend collection, is a spin-off from the successful Lost Cherry fragrance, launched in 2018. A more masculine take on the original amber/floral scent, it intriguingly balances bitter with sweet and lends itself more to evening wear. Opening with a dark sour cherry flavour, enhanced with exotic saffron notes, you are immediately transported to somewhere ‘forbidden’. The heart develops through a bouquet of fragrant and velvety Chinese osmanthus white flowers, supported with facets of apricot, olive and leather. A precious smoked wood accord anchors the base, accented with earthy and spicy cypriol oil. As with all TF productions, the perfumer for this tantalising EDP is undisclosed, adding to its mysterious and simmering persona. Officina profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, with more than 800 years of history under its belt, is one of the oldest perfumery-businesses still operating today. Its latest collection of fragrances, I Giardini Medicei, pays tribute to the olfactory gardens of the Medici dynasty and rediscovers the Florentine brand’s botanical roots. Composed by Gian Luca Perris, Officina’s maître perfumer, our favourite from the collection of four perfumes is Bizzarria; described as an ode to singularity. Intriguing from the offset, it is inspired by gardens at the Villa Medicea di Castello, where in the 16th century the Medici family started to cultivate citrus fruits and were amongst the earliest to grow lemons, oranges and bergamot. The scent opens with a big, bold ‘Bizzarria’ accord of bitter orange, lemon and etrog (a citrus fruit rarely used in perfumery), seasoned with timur pepper and the unmistakable sweetness of neroli. Heart notes of orange blossom absolute, davana and ginger add to its spirited character before taking its foot off the pedal on a base of cedar-wood and musk. As mentioned earlier, 1 Million is distinctively designed for younger men in mind. Therefore, it’s something that will unlikely appeal to those with more mature tastes. Likewise, women who appreciate this tend not to be much older then their early twenties. Aftershave is meant to be used immediately post-shaving. No matter what formula type you’re using, make sure the area is clean and free of any hair remnants or oils. If you’re using a splash, wet your skin with cold water to close up your pores, pour some aftershave into the palms of your hands, and gently pat the formula into your skin. Or, if the product is in spray form, spray a few spritzes onto clean skin.

This is the reason why there are aftershave manufacturers that make non-alcohol based products so that the users will not experience any stinging effect. There are also aftershaves that have fragrances and essential oils to smell good. They even put moisturisers to soften the skin. As a heady and boozy fragrance, it’s impressive that 1 Million is able to create seamless transitions between its phases. In fact, the notes carefully transition with a deliberate and calculated structure one after the other. Wake & Strength Of 1 Million One major purpose of using an aftershave is to smell good since most of these products have amazing fragrances. Another reason why men use these products is that it prevents the skin from having any irritation after shaving because aftershave products contain antiseptics. It also helps the user to feel good and confident. Firstly, 1 Million has earned itself quite a polarising reputation. Whilst it’s loved by many as an enduring and seductive fragrance, it’s over-use and popularity has hurt its reputation. Lacoste Red Homme Eau de Toilette Spray. This aftershave is specially designed for sporty and active men. This product will surely boost the confidence of every man.

When Should You Wear Paco Rabanne 1 Million?

Coconut oil: Powered by its emollient-rich properties, coconut oil is an excellent skin hydrator—and perfect for lathering onto your skin after a sloppy shave that has resulted in razor burn. Some studies have shown it also has anti-inflammatory properties. Influenced by Giorgio Armani’s personal memories and an exploration of nature and culture, the Armani Prive line translates the essence of the designer’s haute couture collections into unique fine fragrances. The latest addition to the collection, Santal Dan Sha, conjures up a refreshing, gentle summertime breeze at dusk and is inspired by the aromatic woody trees and serene lakes of east Asia. Created by master perfumer, Fabrice Pellegrin, it is an enveloping and noble scent made from precious and finely crafted ingredients. Opening with a burst of sparkling Calabrian bergamot fruit, violet leaf accord and warm peppery cardamom heart from Guatemala, the majestic scent develops into a sensual blend of resinous elemi, musks and incense extract. It is however the balmy and creamy sandalwood from New Caledonia, paired with Virgina cedrawood and Dreamwood (a high-tech synthetic note) in its base, that gives this fragrance its defining and lingering signature. If anything, the head is strongly reminiscent of a well-made Old Fashioned given its bitter, sweet and citrus notes. Heart Notes
