Our take
What does Millesime Imperial smell like?
Released in 1995, Millésime Impérial is one of Creed’s brightest fresh scents, a marine fragrance without the ozonic effect typical of the 1990s. The opening is dazzling: bergamot, green mandarin, lemon and sea salt, like spray on warm skin. In the heart, iris adds an unexpected powdery, almost cosmetic softness. Sandalwood, amber and musk in the base leave a salty, creamy trace that evokes sun-tanned skin after a swim. This pairing of citrus, salt and iris makes for a refined freshness, summery and elegant at once, that influenced many modern marine scents.
When to wear it
Ideal in summer, on holiday or for relaxed days. It suits lovers of salty, luminous freshness.
It belongs to the Citrus, Aquatic family. Millesime Imperial is one of 5 creations by Creed in our encyclopedia.
