1000 Miglia

Why didn't I buy this sooner?! Asphalt and leather is definitely accurate! The asphalt in particular is VERY accurate, but this isn't at all unpleasant! In fact, the girlfriend smelled this one and said "Wow that smells nice!" - but in an intriguing sort of way, with a very surprised look on her face and wide eyes. Thanks to the violet, the sweet asphalt notes almost have a deep fruitiness to them, like the blueberry notes in Jay Z Gold, but less fruity, more industrial. This also has a nice spicy cardamom that I don't see listed in the notes here. The spice fades a bit quicker than you'd expect, leaving the asphalt and leather dancing under sweetness on your skin. It smells sweet and playful on the skin from up close, and intriguingly like pleasant asphalt from afar. This does things for me that Dior Fahrenheit did, but without the rubbery-leather. This is more like sweetened-asphalt-leather, and a different leather note at that. With all the Fahrenheit and Mugler A*Men fans out there, I'm really surprised this isn't more popular! This smells nothing like either of them, but it accomplishes the same sort of goal, equally as well as they did. Performance reviews have been a mixed bag, but for me personally, this scent lasts and projects quite well. I get pretty much all day performance from my bottle with perfect projection. After 8 or 9 hours, I can still smell it under the neck of my shirt, and the far drydown is agreeable with many other scents that I may choose to wear at night after wearing this during the day. I'm really enjoying the quality of scents so far from Chopard! My first was Oud Malaki, which smells amazing as well. Quality definitely seems to be on-par with other more expensive brands! For that reason, I don't think I'll sneeze at the price the next time I consider a Chopard fragrance. I really love the heavy solid metal caps they use as well!

This is an underrated gem. The first time I applied this, this reminded me of my younger days when I used to work on vehicles and have fantasies of owning a very fast car driving down the countryside in a convertible. You let the wind hit your face and smell open road as you drive past road workers paving the road. This has a tar/asphalt accord that makes it quite unique. It's something I have never smelled before in a fragrance along with some leather, grass, lavender, citrus, coffee, and iris accords. It is well-blended. The leather accord on this quite good. It reminds me of the cigar lounges I hang out in with its big leather seats and couches. This is definitely a masculine scent just because you get that tar/ asphalt accord. I wouldn't want my wife to wear this. I got a couple of compliments primarily from women with this scent because it is so unique. I would use this as a signature scent honestly. I would wear this for fall, winter, and spring. Spray liberally. You can use it for the summer but apply less of it because the tar/asphalt accord might be too cloying. It really shines in cooler weather. Day or night. Suit and tie. Business casual. Polo shirt with jeans or shorts.

If you liked the idea of a tar note in Mugler Amen but ended up hating the sickeningly sweet caramel overtones, then try this! This stuff is very creative and artistically inspired. It's also only $16 for a 2.7 oz bottle on GiftExpress right now, and you absolutely can't beat that. Idk why this isn't more popular, or how it's priced so low. It used to be very expensive!

I discovered this at a bargain price of under £20. The packaging is excellent - heavy glass, with metal and rubber stopper. The Armani Code similarity is clear, but less sweet and more masculine. The opening lavender and juniper berry is wonderful. Excellent longevity and good projection. A classy fragrance which at current prices is a no brainer!

My husband wore this often and I ended up buying him more of it because I liked it so much I had to make sure he wore it more often and had backup 😆 very sexy smell during dry down with his skin is intoxicating!!! At first it’s almost pure citrus and fresh. Highly recommend scent .

This is a mix between fahrenheit and mercedes intense, tho they do not smell anything alike they share some similarities, so if you like those two you might like this one as well, i am very pleased with it as it was rather cheap too.

Vraiment fan du premier coup. Belle ouverture douce, énormément de caractère avec une très bonne tenue. Le petit plus est la note d'asphalte (très décente) qui sort ce parfum du lot. Une réussite totale.

Found a part bottle on EBay for a blind buy. I couldn't work out how these notes would work but they do brilliantly. It is so hard to describe how these notes work so well, they just do.

This one is a stunner, I really like the combination of fresh & sweet. It smells very masculine, sporty and upscale. A great long lasting scent in a great looking bottle.

Don't buy Armani Code Parfum, get this for a fraction of the price, it's better! It's not exquisite perfume, but for the genre it's well executed and inoffensive.

Nice release by Chooses & great job done by the current perfumer of Chanel I Olivier Polge👌 it's a very pleasant spotty fragrance❤️🏎️

Hi folks, I received my BLIND BUY bottle of 1000 Miglia earlier today, I LIKE it! Firstly it is a very nice scent.To my nose it reminds of JOOP WILD:sweet,long lasting.Nothing jarring or unpleasant about it to me.I wish this was around in my 30's I would have LOVED IT! That brings me to another aspect of this fragrance,it is a more youthful scent which is not a bad thing at all,I just wasn't expecting that aspect of it's personality! It is Joopish in its sweetness,playful and enticing. I was just hoping for a more rugged leathery/woodsy smell. If I already didn't have Wild Homme in my collection I might like it a little more,I just hate having two frags that are so similar in scent even if the scent is a good one! My baggage...other reviews can tell you better of what smells stand out,for me it is masculine,sweet,a playboy or jet-set kid kind of scent. Glad I do own it I'm sure I will wear it plenty and receive compliments when I do.I'm just sorry we found each other 20 years too late,this would have been my going to the club fragrance back in the day! I sprayed just one spritz on the back of my wrist over an hour+ ago it is still mighty! GO EASY with it would be my advice,it's too good to douse yourself in, if worn in excess I could see this going from "WHAT are wearing? :-)" to "WHY are you wearing that :-( "! This is solidly good stuff,no regrets on my end other than feeling a little too old for it-a good scent for you youthful types and I could also see ladies being comfortable wearing this because of the sweet sexiness of it! Hope this helps in your decision making.A firm Yay from me! Also, I purchased my 1000 Miglia for $20.99+ free shipping from a link above and it arrived pretty darn quickly and nice and securely shipped! A great value for a blind buy.Happy New Year! Enjoy smelling great!

It's a refined fragrance captures the spirit of classic and timeless elegance. Inspired by the legendary Italian endurance race, this perfume offers a sophisticated blend of freshness, spice, and warm woody notes. The opening is featuring fresh citrus accords complemented by aromatic lavender and juniper berries. The dry-down is smooth and elegant, masculine character without becoming overpowering. Appearing amber, coffee, and woody notes that's creating a warm, long-lasting finish. It is suitable for both daytime and evening wear, making it an excellent choice for the office, casual outings, or special occasions. The scent feels classy and mature, projecting confidence without being too loud. Performance is respectable, with around 6–8 hours of longevity on the skin and moderate projection, making it noticeable yet never overwhelming. The bottle design is equally impressive, inspired by vintage racing aesthetics with a sleek, luxurious appearance. Chopard 1000 Miglia is an underrated fragrance that offers excellent quality for its price. If you appreciate fresh aromatic scents with a warm woody finish and enjoy fragrances that exude sophistication and elegance, this is definitely worth trying. Rating: 4.6/5 ⭐

The only Chopard fragrance I have known so far was Noble Cedar which I liked a lot. But this was a couple of years ago when I wasn't initiated into niche fragrances. It would be interesting to test Noble Cedar now, which I don't think is going to happen as it's been long discontinued. Anyway, Mille Miglia is absolutely of niche interest. I think a house such as Oliver and Co. (I mean a niche house that doesn't mind synthetics) could sell it as their own, as it is very original! The asphalt note - how does it sound? And yes, it is there! And it pleases, to my surprise. The lavender, the iris and the leather are also easily distinguishable to my nose. All in all a fine and interesting composition. The asphalt is the first to flee, so after an hour or so you get an elegant fragrance of the "pour homme" type, as if the bad boy from the racing car pulled off, took a shower and put on a suit to charm ladies at an evening event after the car race.

It's not "trying to be blue," it is blue but with a slight twist. That twist being the asphalt note. You might be thinking, why is that even a note in a fragrance...and how does it even smell...well, I can't quite explain the smell but when I smell the fragrance I totally get the asphalt and in a good way, not in a road paving way, lol. So it's blue with asphalt. Some of the other notes are non-existing, like coffee and leather I get zero. It's very violet forward, with the lavender and juniper berry in the opening. Asphalt is there at the beginning too and it dries down with violet, asphalt and woods. I don't make it sound blue but it is, with that slight twist. If you're into blues and want something a little different to break away from the blue norm, this is it. Oh, and yes it's masculine. I quite like it.

Well, it's definitely very close to Armani Code line, without enormous sweetness and vanilla. Lovely, decent and appealing. But! Though the scent is good and is worth its reviews and grades, sillage is absolutely non-existent. That is to say, yeah, the scent is good but you (and people around) will smell if only very close to your skin or clothes. And by "very close" I mean literally putting nose close to the place where perfume was spritzed. It stays as skin scent long enough, but nobody will be able to sniff it in normal circumstances. So yeah, the cheaper it is, the better - at least you can use it as toilet freshener at the end.

Open with bold lavender notes. Overall its sexy frag. Winter frag. I detects a lot of tanka beans notes or something smoky sweet (maybe coffee notes) Asplalt accords appears 2-3hrs. Overall on my skin 8+hrs. Smoky Aroma sweet with some spice . its a manly stuff. I love the scent. But hate in its cost.

wish it's more popular, to be cloned. fomo. , if/when it's discontinued. asphalt is very light, negligible

Will it emerge soon? I have never seen it and now it's end of 2013.

Very unique. Vibrant, yet masculine. Gentle, yet wild.
