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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Millésime Impérial

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:

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

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

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.
