How does the performance of Absolutely Gold compare to the original 1 Million?+−
This version is a Parfum concentration, meaning it has a higher oil content than the original Eau de Toilette. Users report significantly better longevity and a denser scent trail, often lasting well over ten hours on skin.
Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
While it can be worn in a business setting if applied very lightly, its spicy, sweet, and woody profile is primarily designed for evening wear, leisure, and nightlife. It is quite potent and may be overwhelming in small, professional spaces.
How prominent is the oud note in this fragrance?+−
The oud here is used as a foundational element rather than a medicinal or "funky" center stage note. It provides a woody, slightly dark anchor for the rose and cinnamon, contributing to the "Gold" theme without being challenging.
Is 1 Million Absolutely Gold still in production?+−
This fragrance has been discontinued by Rabanne and is becoming increasingly difficult to find at standard retail price. It is now considered a collector's item within the 1 Million range.
