Sorry for the spoiler guys but Im a little disappointed there’s no Ethyl Maltol whipping through the base of this. Great review as always.

You're not the only one who is complaining about performance.There's a lot of push back against Creed lately by all reviewers that all their fragrances are watered down and weaker now than even just a couple years ago. Blackrock is driving them into the ground. They're really going to have to get it together and improve their performance. If anything their prices should be lower and not going up. They're a poor value now.

The only Creed I keep in my small collection. I just LOVE IT!!!

This for me is the best fragrance from Creed. You asked whether it was previously a monster, well it was. The sillage, projection and longevity was greater than it is now. However, when I have worn it even up until recently I get about 8 hours and if it gets on clothes the smell can still be smelled for days. I have replaced my bottle not with Creed but with Club de Nuit Milestone which is a very very close dupe, which has extreme sillage, projection and longevity and is £150 cheaper.

Creed Millesime Imperial was a Magnum Opus Masterpiece from 1995-2010!!! And was one of the Sexiest club fragrances of all time. I was undefeated when wearing this one....slaying both Mature/Young Adult ladies.❤

I have two of the older bottles and I have no complaints about the performance. IMHO: it’s the best fragrance from Creed. Unfortunately Creed isn’t the only brand that’s watering down their fragrances and raising their prices; which is exactly why these clones houses are getting so much attention.

The 3 creeds I have are newer and perform outstanding (SMW, Aventus, and Royal Oud), but not all do I’m sure. I think many go nose blind to their scents, and think it isn’t performing when others can still smell them very well.

My favorite fragrance of all time! 😍🔥

Love all the reviews. Tons of great, detailed, information in every one. Would love to hear your thoughts on Le Labo Baie 19!

I'm not a lover of clone fragrances. I'm a firm believer that the original creators should be supported. However, when a huge house like Creed starts disappointing customers by continuously releasing weaker, more watery versions of their scents, I do not blame people for seeking out other alternatives. That said, Club de Nuit Milestone by Armaf is an excellent clone of this fragrance. It smells like this stuff did years ago. Now, it's a fragrance that I am on the fence about. I love certain aspects of it, like the citruses and musks, but I'm not the biggest fan of the salty melon notes. I know that is the part most people rave about, but for me, personally, on my skin, it often comes off a bit strange. Might give it a few more chances this summer and see if anything has changed.

I had a 2013 bottle of Millesime Imperial and it lasted about 16 hours till I showered most of the time with pretty good projection. Stuff was crazy for a fresh fragrance

Hi Aaron bring back the thick silver chain you used to wear 😁 great review as always!

My 2021 batch is really strong. I think after I let it sit for a while it smells stronger than when I first bought it. But I mostly use this for layering. The older batches do last a little bit longer and there was also another fruit/melon kind of note that seemed to disappear in new batches. But it still didn’t last extremely long. Any other collectors here know what I’m talking about with that melon/fruit note that used to be stronger in the old batches of this?

Great upload Aaron, quality stuff as usual! I’d love to have your take on LV Imagination

Personally, my 2021 MI only lasts a few hours when worn indoors. HOWEVER, it truly comes alive on my skin during the summer heat, and it would last all day.

I used to be a monster but decided to go human form so that I could listen to your reviews. :-) I love your reviews so very mucho, are you going to do the armaf milestone comparison?

Fantastic review as always. I couldn't agree more. Sadly, this is one time where even in its original formulation, Millesime Imperial was never a fragrance that had great projection or sillage. Just a very pleasant fruity aquatic fragrance perfect for high heat environments.

At this point armaf Milestone is a better then the orginal and last 4x longer while smelling better

Yes! Been waiting for Aaron's take on this liquid gold!!

1:19 lmao love your reaction. Thats about how I feel about it too.

Hey Aaron ! As always, great video ! I’d love to see you testing the house of Widian ! Sahara II could be a new favorite of yours !☺️ super high quality Fragrances with all kind of good stuff !☺️ Keep doing what u love and always be as u are 🦄

ITS MY REQUEST PLZ DO REVIEW ON MILESTONE BY ARMAF. ITS A CLONE OF M I AND LAST MUCH LONGER. PROJECT MORE MORE DEEP MORE ROBUST.😏✌️

Please Review the cdnm Milestone, I'm scared to buy imperial because Milestone smells better/like the older batches 😢

Dont know if it was this or one of the clones, but In Paris I could smell this fragrance on so many people Really popular in summer.

This has been my signature for awhile now but in the past year ive switched to CDN Milestone because it performs so much better

Honestly this is for me one of the best smelling fragrances, if not the best one that I have bought! However it just doesn’t project that well and lasts about an hour.

Millesime Imperial hasn't really ever been too strong of a fragrance but the scent itself is very nice

Aaron,You should try Armaf Milestone which is a clone of this but has the performance of the older versions and lasts 10-12 hours. £35 for 105ml. Beats Creed hands down on performance and smells 95% the same..

No Ethyl Maltol whipping through the base? It's a skip.🤣

Great video, always honest and straight up. God bless.

Honestly I think we should Bud Light all the hyper inflated fragrances that have no performance. I realize that some people prefer almost non-existent scents for certain occasions but that should be a selling point. You should have to look for that. If one spends hundreds of dollars on a product designed to smell good they should have reasonable expectations of performance.

It's reformulated It's water down It's not Worth the price. I mean 500$ perfume last less then 2 hours. It's a shame😏

This by far one of my favourites from the house of Creed and treasure it in my large collection. I own a 2018 batch and it's better than the current ones. Older batches are even better and do last a lot longer. My 2018 batch us lasting for about 4h so not great either although the scent itself is wayyy better than what they sell currently unfortunately. My 2018 batch is easy top 5 (perhaps also because this was my first expensive kinda niece fragrance) out of my collection of roughly 100 bottles.

This hairstyle really works on you!

Armaf Milestone, middle eastern clone, is how Milliseme used to be, a powerhouse and remarkably close to the original. Also an 8th the price.

This fragrance was one of the most opulent. But they reformulated it in the last decade and it’s not a fraction of what it used to be. The last time I had a bottle of the original formulation was 2012. And it is a completely different scent. The clones of this smell better than the current creed version. Sad.

This is my favourite from Creed. If only they could amp up the performance. Would be great if you could make something similar in this realm of fragrances. Salty something. Would be great if you could review Armaf Milestone that's basically a clone of this one. They improved upon the performance. A great alternative.

I don't know what y'all are talking about with its longevity I work in a factory with temperatures ranging between 95 and 110 all day everyday and I can still smell it on me at the end of a 10-hour shift. Is it as strong as my Amouage interlude black iris? No but its pretty strong. It's like every few minutes you get a little kiss lol

Beautiful Video as always, really appreciate your way with words and your profound knowledge. I‘d be really interested about your opinion on Amouage‘s Enclave.

"MILESTONE"by"ARMAF" is officially"REAL"M I by creed now😅

Always excited to see your new video .

It tends to be weaker in recent years but I find it nice on a hot day the sillage gets a hot weather boost

I would also love to see you review the house of Papillon Artisan Perfumes. They are a British house with a very vintage vibe. Very interesting concoctions and very well made. Liz Morales is the perfumer.

You need to allow to ship to Australia please.🙏🙏

I still have mine from 2001 and it's absolute beast mode!!! EVERYONE can smell it.

Aaron I have Hard Candy, Blood Orange, and Notorious. I love them all! This is coming from a guy that has Xerjoff, Parfums De Marly, Nishane and Amouage. Your fragrances are as good, if not better than those.

I love the smell of this fragrance but the performance is really poor on my skin. Got Armaf's Milestone instead and it smells almost identical to MI and performs better.

I absolutely love this fragrance. A bit disappointed in the longevity BUT if I have to I’ll just carry a travel bottle and keep applying 🤷‍♂️

The Armaf Milestone is a much better performer, and I can't tell the difference and I own both, I know some people say they can tell the difference, but I can't.

Hi Aaron, I've been following you for a while and I absolutely adore you and your reviews. I was wondering if you review any fragrances that are for women? I have seen some reviews that are for unisex scents, which is amazing. If you already have a video where you talk about fragrances that are for women or unisex, can you please let me know? Either way, I follow you forever! :-)

Hello Aaron! Nice review and awesome video. Could you make a review on Rosendo Mateu 5?

Love your reviews Aaron! If you into lavender frags you should try Mancera Black gold 🤓 Cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪🤙

Club de Nuit Milestone is what I own. It's a dupe but pretty good.

Can u get the Club de nuit Milestone. It's a clone of this one. Would love to see the comparison.

We need to see a review of Armaf Milestone! The copy!

Please also review your own fragrance creation as well on this channel. I know it'll be a little biased, but I'd still love to know your thoughts and story behind each one

It does smell nice but it evaporates off the skin... the dupes are better as performance... slightly diff opening, nails the drydown.... typical... I have too many other fragrances that I'd use for the same situation... so even if I had FU $$ to just buy whatever because I loved the smell and value didn't matter... I still wouldn't.

Can justify this purchase based on performance... have a bottle of Armaf Milestone and it performs great

If this performed better it would be my go to summer fragrance. The scent is stunning. But I ain’t paying that type of money for that type of performance

Millesime imperial smells amazing close to SMW if im honest with its own unique touch and that salty note very fresh however its awful when it comes to longevity you get 4 hours max on clothes if u are lucky on skin it will last 5 if it was 180$ fragrance i could get behind buying it but for 300$+with that kind of longevity absolutely tf not.

Could you please review Eisenberg perfumes? My favorite is Love Affair, but the most popular is Jose

Sadly seems Armaf Milestone is doing what this one used to.

I know this fragrance from 10 years ago - it was always very, very week on my skin. But I love the scent. It just never performed at all.

I bought a 2021 batch and unfortunately it doesn’t perform like other batches. I’ll be sticking to specific decants of Creed from now on.

One of my top favorite fragrance profiles. Longevity is weak but I just respray

I still have the bottle I bought in 2009/2010 and oddly enough it's really not that much stronger than the current iteration. Would love to sniff the original batch though lol.

AARON, Please can you review Orto Parisi Megamare? Also, do you have any strong performing summer suitable fragrances from your brand? Thanks

I actually like this one from creed Aaron but your fragrances will always be the best to me how would you make this fragrance better

I got spring flowers lasts 2 hours maybe. But smells great.

There was a flanker that was sold under Ed Hardy YEARSSSS ago that was more of a club version of this and it was FANTASTIC. Great projection and my signature scent for years. They reformulated years ago and its junk now.

I get good performance when I wear this, but then again my bottle is from 2014. This blends well with aventus.

Try out Kenzo Homme EDT Intense or EDP, decent and unique designer salty aquatics

Had a big sample of MI. Smells pleasant on me but mehhh. The salty fruity just wasn’t me. My gf picked up my sample and started wearing it. Smelled absolutely amazing. So I bought her a bottle. Smells very rich on her. I know she slightly oversprays + sprays on her clothes

I've got a bottle from 2019, maybe 2020 i forget. It does project but i do have to go heavier on the spray, say 4-5 sprays. I usually only spray 1-3 sprays depending, but like to keep the sillage within an arms length at the peak of the scent. Unfortunately directly to skin or on clothes, I'm getting maybe 4-5 hours then I have to look for the scent to have it vs getting whafts of the scent every now and then from moving around. I find spraying behind you, either on the neck or back allows me to enjoy the scent throughout the day instead of going blind to the scent. The scent is fantastic and has that salt vibe to it which is a nice compliment to the orange/bergamot vibe but i do wish it was slightly airier or brighter. I still have plenty left in the bottle as it is not a staple scent for me, i would be disappointed for the price if it was in constant rotation. Currently enjoying for the first Summer a bottle of Chanel Allure Homme Sport (original), for the price I can go heavy 4-5 sprays without overpowering and the longevity is pretty decent. These reviews are not only fantastic and enjoyable but also highly highly educational. Should Aaron put on a perfumery masterclass it would definitely have the backing of the community. What an invaluable knowledge and addition Aaron is to Fragcom.

Now that Creed have been sold AGAIN, I wonder if they'll return to long lasting fragrances with better materials and more consistent batches, or if more of the same? Until then, it's Armaf Milestone.

I have never been super into Creed fragrances. They are nice about but not quite my style. I also do think their fragrances have weakened. When I test them now, they longevity and strength seems to be less then even I previously tested.

Bought a brand new tester for 275 aus. Only reason I bought it. Stays on clothes but disappears on skin sadly. Wonderful scent though

The prices for what you are getting w/ Creed these days is ridiculous lmao.

U r awesome. I'm going 2 try candy and a few of your other creations soon.

Can we please review Rehab from initio

I had this back In 2011/12, amazing when sprayed and heading out but it disappears within 3/4hrs! It was never a beast and I decided to go for Sean Jean - Unforgivable which was much cheaper for the crap performance but same dna and fragrance.

wait is this Aaron Terrence Hughes who has the really nice fragrance line?

can you do pasha de cartier le parfum please

Great review. Creed performance hasn’t been good in a while. I have a 2020 and 2022 bottle of Aventus that have been sitting and longevity haven’t changed. I’ll stick with Guapo, Hard Candy and Tabac going forward

Guys the performance really isn’t bad if you actually wear this. 3 sprays gets you 7 hours easy.

I Would like to hear your thoughts and opinion on club de nuit milestone tho...can u do a review on that

It never was a beast always moderate it stays on my skin a long time but it is light, my last 2 bottles of it have been the same i don't know about how it was in 1995 when it first came out, it's a beautiful scent for me i wore it today to work, Sean John unforgivable was inspired by this (the puff daddy Diddy fragrance from 2006) probably the only celebrity fragrance i liked it had a bit of a added rum note and even less performance

Hi. Can you do the review of Versace Pour Homme and Versace Man Eau Fraich ? Really nice summer cheap scents.

M.I definitely used to be a monster. I grabbed a sample, then got a bottle from a Facebook group and my bottle is a monster. Scent identical to my sample but ran batch code and bottle came back from 2017 formulation. Preforms monsterous compared to my sample from creed boutique.

My favorite from the house of creed. Too bad it doesnt last longee than two hours so i stick with Royal Oud.

Performance aside, the fragrance is pleasant enough for me to wear from time to time.

I wonder what's Creed's best fragrance right now?

Hi, Hope you will do video comparison between this and milestone by armaf

Owned a handful of Creeds over the years. Smelled some this past weekend and MUCH weaker than before. Very noticeable. Millsime Imperial was never strong but my fav.

Thank you Aaron.

Review the clone dude

Had the small Bottle. Never bought it again since Milestone is the same but better and a power house nuclear beast!

Ath we need your magical talents to create something in this dna with your touch… discounters it usually go for 180 us that’s not bad for an 100ml lovely scent just doesn’t last I usually add musk, iso 3 super or molecule 01 to give it lift

_the fragrance apprentice has entered the chat_

How are you? I’m fantastic! 🤙🏻
