Millésime Impérial
Eau de parfum
Citrus and a salty breeze over a golden base of woods and musk.
Millésime Impérial opens with the brightness of bergamot, the roundness of blackcurrant and the greenness of violet leaves. A salty marine accord then joins orris, the most precious material of the heart.
The base of cedarwood, sandalwood and musk warms this freshness without weighing it down. A luminous, sunlit fragrance that moves from one season to the next with the same ease.

Millésime Impérial in detail
Creed traces its origins to eighteenth-century London and has since cultivated a perfumery of tradition, handed down from generation to generation. Millésime Impérial offers a sunlit version of it: a clear citrus fragrance where citrus fruit meets the salty air of the seaside.
The official pyramid opens with bergamot, blackcurrant and violet leaf, a lively, fruity, green start. The heart pairs orris, which the house calls the perfumer's blue gold, with a salty marine accord, rendered here by marine notes. The base of cedarwood, sandalwood and musk keeps this luminous freshness while giving it substance.
Millésime Impérial is a daytime fragrance for spring and summer: at the office, on a trip, at a lunch in the sun.
Three citrus fragrances in our catalogue come close: Silver Mountain Water, also by Creed, shares bergamot, blackcurrant, marine notes, musk and sandalwood; Aqua Vitae Cologne forte by Maison Francis Kurkdjian brings together bergamot, musk and sandalwood; Elysium Pour Homme by Roja Parfums pairs bergamot, blackcurrant, cedarwood and musk.
