CreedMillésime Impérial, Luxury Perfume for Him & Her, Soft Floral, Crisp Fragrance, 100ML

This bottle is my third of Millesime Imperial and my largest, and most expensive. For the record, the bottle is real, box is real, and there's no worry about that. The fragrance is a fruity oceanic gold honey ray of sunlight that's like nothing else. I'll leave that review to other sources because many exist.What bears mentioning is that this perfume, new out of the bottle takes, um, a process to smell right.As I'm sure you've noticed there are a lot of reviews calling it unscented alcohol on first spray and sending it back. We'll they're correct to a point.When I sprayed mine, I got nothing like the last whiffs of my old bottle with its deep amber golden notes. It was thin, alcohol heavy, and smelled like a cheap discount store cologne...and I got a little worried.Then I remembered that I had the exact same problem with my old bottle, compared to the bottle before THAT. Yeah, the "deep amber golden notes" bottle? Same beggining.So I sprayed five or six full sprays to get anything old out of the vaporizer, and then I let the bottle sit for a few days. Trying it again in a couple days, the harsh scent was still there, but the notes that I remembered were starting to appear. A couple more days, and still yet better.Today I went to use it now a couple weeks old, and all is as it should be. Millesime Imperial. Detectable four hours after applying. Btw I think that sileage starts short, and as the perfume matures over years, the amber base notes get stronger, and so does its longevity. Eventually it has epic lasting power, at least with my body chemistry.The scent is weird in that it has to mature for a week or two. I don't know if it's that oxygen needs to get to the perfume and react, or excess vapors are making their way into the vaporizer at first? But it can start out smelling like a $5 rancid spray from a 100% genuine unspoiled bottle. Is this a hassle, yes. Is this a long term investment? Yes. Do I think it's worth it? 100% absolutely.Just get sprays out of it, let it come to life, and DON'T PANIC.

Smells amazing

Amazing smell

Hello. I was excited when the packet came in. First time ordering Creed from Amazon. The company that sent this product did not represent the past service I have received from Amazon. I am very disappointed and dissatisfied. Please remove product. This product was expensive, but lacked integrity. If you like to smell like water, this was it.

So...the smell is crisp, clean, and my girls like it. However...this has very limited staying power. Paid a hefty price, and am disappointed after about 2 hours. Sprayed it on neck, cheeks, forearms and stomach. Then shirt. After a couple hours, I could only smell the Tide beads from the wash. I cannot recommend this cologne, especially for the cost. On to the next.

Me encanta
