The Billionaire (M) Eau de Parfum 100 ml Spray

Excellent

First off, full disclosure. I'm a certified frag head, and a well established member of the "Brotherhood of Scent" organization. I've got fragrances from around the world, some upwards of $500 for 100ml (3.4 ounces.). I own some dupes that are fantastic in their own right, so I'm certainly not against them at all.This brand, in a word is what I would call a "mature" fragrance. I don't mean for "old" people or anything like that. I mean mature as in development. There are other duplicates out there that are one or two note wonders and are gone in less than an hour. That's what I would call a cheap, and immature product.A fragrance that has been developed properly shouldn't look like 2 or 3 color blocks lined up next to each other. They should look like a gradient, slowly changing and blending from one color (scent) to the next and settling in on constants for the opening, heart and base notes/scents.This fragrance does that. It's very well developed in that it slowly morphs while you wear it. The opening is very floral with a little fruity mixed in...but in a masculine way, it's not CK type of unisex floral. Then the heart note of hazelnut comes in and it's lovely as it morphs into a solid cedar heart for a good long while with a touch of hazelnut in the background. That's the "meat" or "heart" of the fragrance. You'll have the floral and hazelnut up front with the cedar heart and then the base of amber comes in and finishes out the last couple few hours and into the amber at the end with hints of cedar. I personally wish the cedar was around longer, but that's only because I'm a fan. LOLProjection is decent, but people won't smell you coming...more like they'll smell you when you get there and after you leave for a bit. It also lasts a good while, something hard to find in dupes.As for it's target which I assume is Paco's Millionaire - yeah, it's close. Close enough that you'll clearly get what they were trying to attain, but it's also unique enough to be perhaps a flanker to Millionaire. (Flanker = a second or third release of a product based on the original.)If you like Millionaire you should love this and also appreciate where it's different. Over all this is definitely a 5 star fragrance. I'm hooked and want to try more Rivoli products for sure! Top shelf.I almost forgot! For those that like the bottle "art" as well, this doesn't disappoint. On the bottom of the bottle a mountain range is molded up into the bottle with a hidden trick. Only when you put light behind it does the mountain have a purple hue unlike the rest of the bottle! Very nice surprise!

The quality of this fragrance is amazing for the price point, lasts a while on the skin and even longer on clothes. I noticed that this projects very well, but within 4-5 hrs becomes more of a skin scent. That being said, I am a light sprayer, so if you tend to over spray it should last you all day. I personally tend to wear more unisex fragrances, and this leans a bit more masculine but still has a lot of complexity to it. I like wearing this fragrance on rainy days.
