Comparison on the left hand with the original Creed Imperial and on the right Armaf - there is almost no difference - Millestone even totally beats it in longevity! I've not bought the Creed version(no would I) but from the experts on YT there is no difference and the longevity is better! I blind bought this based on the performance of Club De Nuit Intense (which is beast-mode compared to my newer (2021-2022) formulations of Creed Aventus. It has a smooth and elegant vibe that makes me feel like I'm wearing a suit and tie, even when I'm in shorts and t-shirts. for longevity a bit tricky for me, after 3-4 hour i can't smell it at all but person around me can still smells me, but close to 6 hour i can smell it again.

This fragrance contrasts recognisable sea, wood, beach and skin musk notes with fantasy red fruits and violet notes. The salty watermelon is fresh and aquatic and airy without being too much of anything besides a solid performer. If this came in a Creed bottle, you'd all be raving about how Olivier Creed gets the best yields out of raw materials by singing to them lovingly.It starts out very fruity and salty, then dries down to ambroxan with the other notes being less prominent. Decent longevity, the "meat" of this fragrance as in the fruity and aquatic notes stay on for approx. Club De Nuit milestone an exquisite and elegant blend of high-quality ingredients that adds an aura of mystery to any outfit. It's only at the base where the amber emerges to salvage an odd experience, imbuing subtle floral, leathery notes which balance out the saltiness.

I was really surprised to learn Creed's Millesime Imperial launched all the way back in 1995, I think Milestone (a clone of the aforementioned Creed) smells modern and surprisingly unique by comparison. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Club de nuit intense I’d say is 80% Aventus, but this man, I’m telling you- this IS Miliseme Imperial. Creed should listen to all these comments and rethink their reformulating practices or great fragrances like CMI will be sadly forgotten. It’s a real authentic trauma response, and I’m not sure if I had some traumatizing experience in a pool earlier, that my subconscious is now revisiting.Somehow reminds me of curiously traversing on the low-tide coral rocks - without reeking of the heavy ocean stink. This is on my top list level with savage elixir, but easily beats my favorite perfumes like Acuqa di gio Profumo, allure eau extreme, tomford fabulous, tomford TV, ombre leather, CDNIM, Dior homme intense, Herod, ysl lanuit, Armaf hunter, Armaf excellus, Armaf Odessey and few others. Unfortunately most scents don't last well on my skin so this is 2 hours max with not great scent trail.
