What wearers say

“I'm not really a fan of salty marine scents but this is the exception. Very pleasant, smooth and uplifting. In my opinion, this scent profile isn't meant to be a massively projecting longevity beast. I get around 6 hours on average and couldn't be happier. As always, never pay retail and always sample before committing to a full bottle. Latest batches are good too. I have an OG 2007 bottle and an F batch (F002937) Funnily enough, the recent bottle actually lasts longer so I don't understand why some people are so adamant on how the older bottles are twice as good compared to the new ones.”

“I've not tried this in a couple of years and it now smells like the note of tea has been added. I was reading recent reviews and people were mentioning silver mountain water smelling similar. I thought there's no way, how could that be possible. So off I went to the creed boutique to give this another go with a 2024 batch. I took a sniff and could not believe what had happened to this! Millesime imperial really does smell like silver mountain water now but never did before. I'm picking up a massive note of tea. It's like they just accidentally spilt some silver mountain water into this batch.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“Great scent and noticeably better and higher quality than the legions of clones but like everyone else has said, the performance is pathetic for the price. I don't need everything to be this nuclear beast mode 15 hour monster but if I'm spending over $300 for a bottle of something the least it could do is last for more than 2 or 3 hours. Save your money and look elsewhere.”

Golden Empire offers shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs 6-8 hours) and reduced sillage compared to the original. The ambroxan sweetness reads slightly more linear in the clone, missing some of the complex dry-down characteristics of the designer version.

The clone has slightly shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs 6-8 hours) and less sillage, with a more linear progression that doesn't evolve as gracefully as the original. The iris and jasmine notes are less delicate, giving Imperial Gold a slightly soapier character.

Sillage

The most significant difference is the watermelon accord replacing grapefruit in the opening, which fundamentally alters the fragrance's personality from sophisticated citrus to a sweeter, fruitier composition. Longevity and sillage likely differ as well, with the clone potentially offering less refined projection compared to Creed's premium formula.
