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.

Our Verdict - Old Empire For Women EDP
A budget take on Creed Millesime Imperial. The salty, fruity-citrus opening over an iris-and-marine heart captures the original's sunny Sicilian-seaside character; wearers rate it reasonably close, and since modern Millesime is itself only a moderate performer, the gap in longevity is smaller than usual.
