Masculine · EDT · £13
Inspired by Paco Rabanne 1 Million.
Clean Shaven 02 interprets Paco Rabanne 1 Million, the 2008 release that remains one of the best selling and most recognised men's fragrances in the world, and the comparison is stated directly by the brand on the product page. Product Overview Sold as a 50ml bottle at 25 percent Eau de Parfum concentration, currently listed at 13 pounds on the brand's own UK site. Clean Shaven markets it as a way to get the unmistakable 1 Million profile without the designer price tag, framing it around the gold bar bottle's iconic status in mainstream fragrance culture. Scent Profile 1 Million opens on blood mandarin, grapefruit and mint, a sparkling citrus start, moves into a cinnamon and rose heart that gives the fragrance its signature sweet spice, and settles into leather, amber and patchouli. Clean Shaven's own note breakdown, peppermint, grapefruit and ruby mandarin at the top, cinnamon and rose in the heart, amber, patchouli and leather in the base, tracks that structure closely. Technical Structure and Development 1 Million was built around pairing a bright citrus mint opening against a warm cinnamon rose heart and a leather amber base, a combination that felt bold and maximalist against the more restrained designer fragrances surrounding its 2008 launch, and it is that same sweet spicy leather signature that has made it one of the most widely interpreted formulas in the value fragrance market since. Performance Given the confirmed 25 percent EDP concentration and the amber, patchouli and leather base of the original structure, moderate to strong projection with good longevity is a reasonable expectation, consistent with how the original's dense sweet spicy base performs. Wear Scenarios - Evening and night out wear where a bold, sweet spicy signature scent suits the occasion - A strong pick for anyone who wants the 1 Million profile without its designer price tag - Autumn and cooler weather wear where the cinnamon and amber base reads warm rather than heavy - A confident, compliment seeking choice for social settings Scent Family Positioning Clean Shaven 02 sits in the sweet spicy amber leather style lane, built on citrus and mint against a cinnamon rose heart and a leather amber base, interpreting one of the most commercially successful and most widely copied men's fragrances of the past two decades. Inspired By and Style Comparisons Clean Shaven states directly on the product page that this is their version of Paco Rabanne 1 Million, no inference required. Flankers and Variations Clean Shaven 02 is part of the brand's wider 01 to 25 numbered range. The original 1 Million has itself spawned numerous official flankers, including Intense, Lucky, Privé and Elixir, none of which are separately interpreted in the current Clean Shaven numbered range. Market and Community Reception Clean Shaven's brand wide 4.8 rating across Google and Trustpilot reflects the aggregate customer experience across the range, since individual review breakdowns per numbered fragrance are not published separately. 1 Million itself remains one of the most recognised and most frequently dupe hunted fragrances in the designer market, a relevant context for its inclusion in the range.
