Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Millésime Impérial EDP
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Citron Del Mar EDP
Citron Del Mar is inspired by Creed's Millesime Imperial, a salty-marine citrus with an iris heart. It keeps the melon-citrus opening and iris-ambergris progression, but is sweeter and less mineral-metallic than the original, missing the ozonic watermelon edge reviewers single out.

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.

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.
