Just got this one in today and WOW am I impressed!!I never liked the Cinnamon and Mint notes in the original 1 Million. This AB-Spirit Millionaire seems to replace those horrid notes with VANILLA!! As that is one of my FAVORITE notes/scents I'm thrilled beyond words!This is 1 Million....PERFECTED!!!The Experience:The fragrance starts out with a HEAVY note of alcohol fresh out of the atomizer, but that dies down after about a minute and a soft sweet note of Apple accompanied with Vanilla and some kind of dry spice...maybe Cardamom...makes it's presence known.It's stayed that way the entire opening and mid of the fragrance...I couldn't make out any of the mid-notes as listed, but that is probably due to my own inexperience. I'm sure that they are there because there is definitely a spicy-sweet kick in this fragrance that is absolutely STUNNING!!The dry down smells primarily of a Vanilla/Woods/Musk mix and it's absolutely HEAVENLY compared to the original 1 Million. It's got this soft sweet powdery woody-vanilla/musk that's sweet soft and slightly bitter at the same time that I have not experienced in any other mainstream designed fragrance...ever! I cannot stop smelling my arm...this is soooooo GOOD!!!Verdict:Blind-Buy worthy?Y-E-S !!!!!At $15 per bottle you CANNOT LOSE!!! I am sooooo happy that I decided to buy this fragrance...it's such a complete turnaround from the disappointment of my experience with Paco Rabanne - 1Million. I'm thankful that clone houses like Lattafa, Armaf, Ajmal and Lomani have taken these mainstream fragrances and experimented with them to make them better than the originals. This is EXACTLY where I need to spend my money!Backup-Bottle worthy?H-E-L-L Y-E-S !!!I am ordering a backup bottle of this on the next payday so that I can spray down to my hearts content without worrying about running out. I usually reapply mid-way through the day at lunch and this is going in my favorite/regular rotation!Rating:9/10 (only because I haven't witnessed the longevity yet, but I will update after a full wear tomorrow).
