What do reviewers say about The Secret and 1 Million?
Oriental-spicy with serious backbone. The mint opening is clean and arresting. The leather-spice drydown? That is where the confidence lives. Great value for what it delivers.The Secret
One Million $ opens like a dare. Blood orange, mint, grapefruit, that sharp citrus blast either pulls you in or puts you off. The people who love it love it completely.1 Million
