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 - Millesime Imperial - 497 - Intense Parfum
Inspired by Creed's Millesime Imperial, this Intense edition pushes the salty-iris-musk idea harder with more ambergris, but the extra concentration doesn't buy the layered, transparent drydown of the original - it reads as a heavier, flatter version of the same salty-fruity idea rather than a deeper one.
