Imperial Millesime by Creed

Wonderful stuff! A sophisticated scent for all year/ all occation use. But the sillage/longevity could be much better! A bit similar to Erolfa, but sweeter.

I agree with you ficusmuskus, and I can also say that Imperial Millesime is one of the best day sent with Green Irish Tweed and Silver Mountain Water. Those 3 are fresh, with enough dept to satisfy everyone who want the best.

Silver Mountain Water and Imperial Millesime are more young and versatile than Green Irish Tweed (more classical than young).

For myslef, I don't like much all those sweet new designer perfumes like L'Homme de Yves St-Laurent, Le Male de Jean Paul Gaultier, Lolita Lempicka for men etc... Those are boring stuff, and FIRST; too many people wearing cheap drugstore perfumes like that.


Enjoy Creed and other niche pieces of art!

this is one of the best, i smell leather, fruits, and white musk, warmth and yet it's not to heavy or overpowering , i would suggest it for both sexes...but make sure you get the original to many fakes out there!

A little to regal and like the name "Imperial". It is a little to fancy for my liking with the initial top and middle note. I prefer Green Irish Tweed over this any day. This is not an everyday scent by any means.Overall 6/10

My mother bought this for me as a birthday gift while vacationing in Germany. It's the only Creed I have and I really like the way it smells on me.

Guys, please buy REAL bottle, not fake ones on eBay! Buy from fragrance.net or other sites. They have REAL...no imitation. Come over again and comment on what you will sniff. Cantaloup (melon), salty-iris-musky fragrance. This one downside is sillage-longevity (I agree with jonovon here) but the scent is AWSOME! I want it again!
I don't know why but some of Creed's perfumes having salty heart to their notes. Ex: Tabarome Millesime, Silver Mountain Water, and this one.. But hey, when I look at the notes, nothing about sea salt or anything from salt at all. Can someone tell me which notes are doing that sensation to my nose? I LOVE THAT! :)

9,5/10

Not what I was expecting, but quite enjoyable, none-the-less. Loud at first & then very quiet when it settles.

A softly sweet citrus, a watered-down freshly squeezed juice with a metallic twang, a mid-warmth of a light woody amber & delicate creamy musk which is conterbalanced by a slightly salty edge.

Overall, it is very pleasant & there is a veiled glimpse of a rich, sweet resiny depth in there that is truely unique (more of that, please!)....but the whole fragrance seems a bit lack-lustre & lazy & is missing the wow-factor. If you had told me this was Paco Rabanne's new offering I would have believed you.

Nice, & wearable by man or woman. But it is another "almost" scent.

one of the worst frags ever.
Creed is such a rip-off.
all I can smell is: metal + rust + metal + metal + fake citrus + detergent and some more METAL.
another horrible 'creation' by this gimmicky brand.

I don't know what all the fuss is about this fragrance. It must be the gold bottle (it lured me to buy it about ten years ago). It's not awful, but it's nothing to write home about either. It's really a very typical Creed "Millesime" fragrance, i.e, it attacks you with a loud, hammering blast of woody amber right out of the gate. It smells like it's trying to be both Green Irish Tweed and Erolfa at the same time, but isn't as good as either of them. Basically, this is a loud, very chemical, alcohol smelling fragrance with some floral and citrus notes thrown in. The woody amber (I doubt Creed uses real ambergris - I don't care what they say) is definitely the dominating note in MI, just about flattening any of the other notes. Not terrible, but definitely not anything Creed should be bragging about - they've created much better than this.

It smells wonderful. I smell lots of marine salt and some kind of fruit in it. Sometimes I sense tangerine, sometimes melons, cherry, papaya... When it gets in contact with sweat, it gets even better: maybe marine salt is really a key ingredient here.
IMO it's one of the best scents I've ever worn.
But - sadly - a perfume is not only its scent. It must have a decent longevity and appropriate projection. And Imperial Millésime fails terribly on that. It projects a close sillage for about 20 minutes after a generous spray session. Then it lasts around 1 hour on my skin, which is disappointing for such an expensive bottle.

So I see myself sniffing my wrists, trying to catch a hint of what it was when I first sprayed, but it's totally gone. Since I don't like (and I can't) taking a break every hour or so to reapply perfume,I feel like having paid the price of a Jaguar for a car like the old Beetle.
