My Full Fragrance Review:
Let me dive right in. Millésime Impérial by Creed could very well have topped my list of favorite fragrances. Why wouldn’t it? The fragrance is unbelievable. In the vast ocean of men’s perfumes, this one manages to stand out with a distinctly unique aroma. But here’s my beef with it: the longevity. Or should I say, the lack thereof. “What’s the issue?”, you’re probably thinking. Well, read on for my opinion.
Quick Facts:
Smell:
Here’s a fun little exercise for you: Name a salty watermelon perfume. Stumped? Well, that’s because Millésime Impérial pretty much owns that territory. Let me tell you, this fragrance takes an audacious direction with its scent and I am all here for it.
The first whiff? It’s like being hit with a wave of freshness. It’s not long before the head note makes its majestic appearance, and honestly, it’s probably one of the best ones I’ve ever encountered. Picture this: You’re at the beach, the sun’s shining down, there’s a gentle sea breeze, and you decide to bite into a freshly sliced watermelon. That’s Millésime Impérial for you.
In terms of its character, it’s light and airy – reminiscent of a cologne. Perfect for those scorching summer days when you’re looking to chill outdoors. However, I’d probably save it for casual hangouts rather than wearing it to work. And if it’s a wild night out you’re dressing up for? Maybe opt for something with a little more punch.
Longevity:
If fragrances were contestants in a sprint, Millésime Impérial would probably finish before you blinked. I mean, this review wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t touch on its… how do I put it gently… transient nature.
This perfume’s stay on my skin clocks in at a paltry 2-3 hours, with only the initial hour having any sort of projection. Now, I’ve experienced some quick-fading fragrances in my time, but this one? Let’s just say if there was a prize for fleeting fragrances, it’s got a good shot. Only lui/il/he/él/男 from Armani might beat it in that dubious race.
