What Reddit owners say
4/5“Same, I have 18 bottles and only Millesime Imperial doesn't give me 6 hours. I'm good with 4-5 on that one.”
5/5“I have many Creeds and have not had one bottle that I would not gladly buy again. Don't have any issues with longevity except for Millesime Imperial which gives me 4-5 hours which I'm good with because of how amazing the fragrance is. I get at least 6 from all the rest some even lasting 10-12 hours except for Oud Zarian which is eternal.”
5/5“Millesime Imperial - Creed that fkr smells so good, but last 15 mins lol. Thats why I spray it before bed, excellent perfomance for netflix and chill. iykyk”
5/5 Office“Creed Millésime Impérial. I have over 80 fragrances and it's my favorite from my collection. Stays on clothes for days, my wife loves it, I love it. Been buying bottles of it for the last 3 years and haven't gotten tired. Tons of compliments along the way and I've gifted bottles to some good friends at work bc they loved it when I wore it.”
5/5 SweetnessValue“My favorite, that I bought for my husband, is Creed Millesime Imperial. It's really well-blended, aromatic and sweet and slightly salty, with gorgeous melon and marine accords. I'd say it's unisex leaning masculine. It's a breezy and sophisticated scent and definitely smells expensive.”

4/5“millesime imperial is great but the performance on my skin is tragic, glad it works for you though.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) SweetnessEveryday“I replied to a similar comment. I am usually 4 sprays with most fragrances unless it is super strong and sweet. But to answer your question, I have like 100 bottles now so over time things just got rotated in and out and I would go months not wearing it in favor of newer stuff etc. Also I had a tendency to save my Creeds for more special occasions or vacations etc versus daily wear. So as my collection grew I wore it less and less especially as the years went by. These days, I don't care anymore and will wear Creed to bed 🛌 like I am right now. Wearing Millesime Imperial right now.”

Not rated (no clear sentiment)“The real millesime imperial has a depth to it, and far more body. This isn't a terrible clone but lacks the essence of the original. I have all 3 by the way because i be curious.”
