Which Should You Buy?
Millésime Impérial is the quintessential salty citrus-marine fragrance, blending sunlit fruit, tangy sea air, and a whisper of woods into pure golden elegance. Effortlessly luxurious, it is a benchmark for refined summer freshness.
This one is a divisive freshie-with-a-twist. Some swear it's a beastly SMW alternative, while others find it merely okay, or even dated. Expect bold projection and a scent profile that really leans into green tea with a classic citrus kick.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Its sparkling citrus, marine and salty facets are tailor made for hot weather and spring freshness, while its low warmth and light woods make it less suited to winter. Falls off in performance and presence in cold air.
Occasions
The gentle projection and breezy, sophisticated freshness make it ideal for office, daytime, and casual wear. Its subtlety and lack of overt richness mean it is less suited to formal evening occasions.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean nature makes it ideal for casual wear, warm weather, and even active use. While some find its projection beastly, keeping sprays light makes it suitable for office environments; however, it might lack the gravitas for truly formal occasions.
