Chaos Fragrances / Head to head
1 Million EDT vs. 1 Million Lucky
Which should you buy?
The gold original and silver Lucky bottle offer two different ways into 1 Million. We’d try the original EDT first if you like citrus with warm spice and leather. Lucky is the one we’d reach for when plum, hazelnut and woods sound more inviting. Both are Eau de Toilette, so the label won’t settle this choice for you. A sample of each can help you find the version you’ll enjoy wearing, whether this is your first 1 Million or another bottle for the collection.
Start with 1 Million EDT for citrus, spice and leather. Give Lucky the first try if fruity, nutty sweetness sounds more like your taste. Both are EDTs with their own scent profiles.

Warm spice and leather, or fruit and hazelnut?
Rabanne highlights blood mandarin, woody cinnamon and leathery amber for the original EDT. Lucky brings plum and toasted hazelnut together with cedar, with honey also mentioned in its description. We’d choose what to sample first around those differences. If a spicy fragrance usually catches your attention, start with the original. If you enjoy a fruit-and-nut direction, Lucky is worth a turn on skin.
1 Million Eau de Toilette
Try the original first if a citrus-and-spice fragrance with a leathery side appeals to you. Spend some time with the sample after the opening and see whether it’s a scent you’d be glad to reach for again.
The tradeoff If fruity, nutty sweetness is what you’re hoping for, give Lucky a try too. Owning the original doesn’t tell you how much you’ll enjoy that different combination.

1 Million Lucky Eau de Toilette
Give Lucky the first turn if plum with a toasted hazelnut accord sounds like your kind of fragrance. Wear a sample when you’re in the mood for a fruity, nutty scent, and let the whole fragrance help you decide.
The tradeoff If warm spice and leather are the main attraction, we’d start with the original EDT. Lucky shares the family name, but that doesn’t make it an automatic replacement for a bottle you already enjoy.

Where will you wear it?
Use these as starting points. Your preferences and application matter most.
You tend to enjoy a spicy fragrance
Start with the original EDTThat preference gives you a useful place to begin. Try the sample through an ordinary day or a dinner out, and see whether it suits the way you like to smell. There’s no need to save the trial for a special occasion.
Fruit and hazelnut catch your attention
Give Lucky a turnLucky is our first suggestion for this mood. Wear the sample on a relaxed day or evening, especially if that’s when you usually enjoy a sweeter fragrance. Your own plans are a better guide than a strict season or dress code.
You already own one of the two
See what the other would addTry the other version on days when you’d normally reach for the bottle you have. You may enjoy the choice between two scent directions. If your current favorite keeps winning, you can take your time before buying another.
You’re comparing the featured bottles
Use confirmed ml and delivered totalsBoth Jomashop references are 100 ml, despite the different ounce labels. Confirm the selected metric sizes and matching condition before comparing totals. The original EDT photo shows 50 ml, so don’t use its pictured size to calculate the linked bottle’s value.
Try them through the kind of day you have in mind
Use a comfortable, similar amount on separate days and check back as you go about your plans. Notice how much scent you still perceive and whether you want to keep wearing it in that setting. The fragrance you prefer at first spray may differ from the one you enjoy later. Both bottles carry the EDT label, but that alone doesn’t promise the same wear or a particular number of hours.
Found your signature?
For citrus with warm spice and leather, the original EDT is where we’d begin. For a fruity, nutty fragrance with a woody side, give Lucky a try. Take the sample through a day or evening when you’d actually wear it. If you already have one, see whether the other offers a change you’d enjoy often enough to make room for another bottle.

Confirm those selected metric volumes and matching retail-bottle condition, then divide each delivered total by 100. At equal confirmed sizes, the lower delivered total also gives the lower cost per ml. Include shipping, tax and applicable coupon terms. Recalculate if you choose another size, and compare testers, unboxed bottles, travel sprays, refills and sets separately. Our original EDT photo shows 50 ml; Lucky’s photo has no readable volume. Neither guarantees your selected size or delivered packaging.
Still deciding?
Should I buy 1 Million EDT or 1 Million Lucky?
We’d start with the original EDT for citrus, spice and leather, or Lucky for fruit, hazelnut and woods. Sample both beyond the opening and choose the fragrance you can picture reaching for more often.
Are 1 Million EDT and Lucky both Eau de Toilette?
Yes. Rabanne identifies both the original 1 Million and 1 Million Lucky as Eau de Toilette. This guide compares those two fragrances. Parfum, Elixir, Royal, Night Elixir, collector editions and bath or body products are separate.
How does Lucky differ from the original 1 Million?
Rabanne’s original EDT highlights mandarin, cinnamon and leathery amber. Lucky takes a fruity, nutty and woody direction, with plum, a toasted hazelnut accord and cedar among its named highlights. The shared family name gives you a place to start, with two combinations to try.
Which version lasts longer on skin?
Try each on a separate day with a comfortable, similar amount and check back during your usual routine. Notice how much scent you still perceive and whether you enjoy it. The EDT label alone doesn’t guarantee a fixed number of hours or identical wear.
Do the photos show the sizes linked at Jomashop?
The links reference original 1 Million 3.3 oz / 100 ml and Lucky EDT Spray 3.4 oz / 100 ml. Our original EDT photo shows a 50 ml carton, which is a different size; Lucky’s photo has no readable volume or concentration label. Confirm the version, selected ml and condition before ordering. Photos don’t guarantee delivered packaging.
How should I compare value between these bottles?
If both selected bottles are confirmed as 100 ml in matching retail-bottle condition, divide each delivered total by 100. The lower total then also gives the lower cost per ml. Include shipping, tax and coupon terms, and recalculate for other sizes. Compare testers, unboxed bottles, travel sprays, refills and sets separately.
How this comparison was put together
Scent highlights follow Rabanne’s main descriptions for 1 Million Eau de Toilette and 1 Million Lucky. Buying and occasion suggestions interpret those profiles. Jomashop’s item-specific headings and corresponding product photos inform the bottle comparison, subject to confirming selected volume and condition.
