These are genuinely different profiles

The shared 1 Million name does not make Parfum a simple stronger copy of the EDT.

How the EDT develops

Citrus and mint lead into cinnamon and rose before leathery amber, smoky woods and patchouli take over.

How Parfum changes the idea

Grapefruit leads to salty tuberose and solar leather, shifting the focus from spice toward floral-salty leather.

Which should you sample first?

Choose EDT if cinnamon, mint and spicy leather are what you want; choose Parfum if salty tuberose and solar leather sound more interesting.

Bottom line

EDT is the spicier aromatic-leather option; Parfum is the more floral and solar leather interpretation.

Questions before choosing

Is 1 Million Parfum just a stronger 1 Million EDT?

No. The two editions have clearly different published note structures.

Which is spicier?

The EDT is the spicier direction because cinnamon is central to its profile.

Which is more floral?

Parfum is more floral because salty tuberose is a key note.

Which lasts longer?

The concentration name alone does not establish a universal winner.
