Description
Essence & Concept
Millésime Imperial (1995) by Creed captures the breezy luxury of the Mediterranean: sun, sea, citrus, and golden light. It’s designed to be both fresh and sumptuous — a fragrance that’s breezy and refined, balancing aquatic crispness with creamy woods and a sensual dry‑down.
Note Structure
Top notes: Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Sea Salt — citrusy brightness combined with an ozonic marine lift for a refreshing opening.
Heart (middle): Iris, Marine Accord — smooth floral from the iris blending with salty seawater tones, creating a salty‑aqua heart.
Base notes: Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Musk — warm, woody creaminess with soft musk that lingers and smooths out the marine top layers.
Evolution & Experience
On first spray you get citrus and ocean‑air: bright bergamot and mandarin blended with a hint of sea salt. It feels like a splash of cool water with sunlight. As it develops, the iris appears, giving a powdery floral nuance that softens the marine edge. The heart is airy, clean, lightly sweet, with a “salty breeze” feel. The dry‑down brings in woods and musk: the scent becomes more comforting, creamy, with lingering warmth, soft sanding of the sweetness and sea into something refined.
Longevity & Projection
Moderate to good. It performs well especially early on, with a noticeable trail. As time passes it becomes more intimate but still perceptible. On clothes tends to last longer. Some wearers find its projection less powerful compared to richer, denser perfumes, but its elegance often compensates.
Best Use / Occasions
Perfect for spring and summer, day wear especially. Great for casual upscale settings, outdoor events, daytime dates, coastal vacations, or any scenario where fresh elegance is desirable. Also works well in professional settings where a clean, pleasant fragrance is appreciated.
Character & Vibe
Millésime Imperial feels luxurious yet airy — salty sea air meets sunshine and sweetness. It’s elegant, not loud. It gives a polished, relaxed confidence — someone who smells good without overdoing it. It’s like wearing a crisp linen shirt by the sea; refined and fresh.
