1 Billion Alain Aregon, introduced to the world in 2014, sits firmly in the category of a masculine fragrance, belonging to the spicy, east, and citrus families.

A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of 1 Billion unfolds as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Alain Aregon comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail.
The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Musc and Wood with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Amber and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is masculine, which clarifies the composition character.
Right at the start you catch sparkling citrus first notes: Bergamot and Mandarin.
At the core of development you detect Black Pepper, Cedar and Sage keeping a warm-spicy direction. At drydown level the line is anchored through Ambergris, Saffron and musk, reinforcing a deep amber trail.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Citrus, Spicy, Wood and Aromatic. It also reaches into Ambery, Musk and Gourmet. At family level the composition sits in Citrus, East and Spicy.
Taken together 1 Billion holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best judged in wear.
