Is 1 Million Intense discontinued?+−
Yes, 1 Million Intense has been discontinued by Rabanne. Collectors now typically have to find it through secondary markets or specialty retailers, as it has been replaced in the permanent lineup by other flankers like the Parfum or Elixir.
How does the performance compare to the original 1 Million?+−
This version is significantly more potent. While the original is known for its loud projection, the Intense version offers a denser sillage and lasting power that easily exceeds 8 to 10 hours, often surviving on clothes for days.
Can this be worn during the day or in an office setting?+−
It is generally not recommended for professional or cramped office environments. Due to its "beast mode" projection and heavy spicy-sweet profile, it is best suited for leisure, evening events, and nightlife.
How does the rose note affect the scent?+−
The rose absolute in the heart adds a "velvety" and "sensual" layer that isn't present in the original. It makes the fragrance feel more sophisticated and "round," tempering the aggressive spices with a floral smoothness.
