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 - No.266 Millesime Imperial Parfum
No.266 follows Creed's Millesime Imperial with a salty-fruity opening, an iris-citrus heart and a musky-woody sea-salt base. The marine-citrus character is well matched, though it runs a little flatter and less nuanced than Creed's polished original.
