Encounter לעומת 1 Million

Encounter is viewed as a solid, affordable fragrance with decent performance, though it appears to be eclipsed by other creations from its perfumer Pierre Negrin. The community recognizes its value as a budget option and appreciates its longevity, though some note its performance diminishes over time.

The r/fragrance community has deeply divided opinions on 1 Million, with some praising its compliment-generating qualities while others view it as a cheap, overly sweet clubby fragrance. The flanker versions (particularly Lucky and Parfum) receive notably better reception than the original EDT, though the bottle design is consistently criticized as tacky across the board.
