Imperial Gold

Been looking for a good shmoop of millesemi since cdn milestone has that pesticide note to it that doesn’t make it shine like its supposed to. Trust me already tried many batches and the only ones that are kinda nice are the older ones from 2019 to 2022 and usually some 2023 made in france tend to be nice as well anything else is reformulated with that pesticide note!! just a little fyi!!! Also definitely not going to overpay for other houses and their 1oz of juice therefore heres where imperial gold enters. The DNA is definitely there 100% smells super close to millesemi and milestone. For comparison imperial leans more on the blend of citruses whereas milestone leans more towards a cantaloupe note. I must say its definitely past the moderate performance of any EDP going solid to 6 hours with still catching myself being able to smell it at any breeze. Overall blind buy safe and a crowd pleaser and will definitely recommend to anyone whos dealing with that pesticide scent in their CDN trust me you wont regret the purchase and hurry its going for less than $30 in am4zon as of right now 2/26/26

I originally purchased Imperial Gold by Orientica Premium because it’s often described as a more masculine, less fruity interpretation of the well-known-Millésime Impérial style profile. At first I actually enjoyed it, especially considering the price point. It delivers that familiar fresh-fruity DNA with a slightly more grounded character. On my skin I also noticed a subtle salty melon-like nuance, which gives it a refreshing quality that works well in warm weather. That said, after spending more time with it I realized the fragrance felt quite linear and somewhat one-dimensional. What you get in the opening is largely what stays with you throughout the wear. While it’s pleasant and easy to like, I personally found myself wanting a little more evolution and depth. Because of that, I eventually sold my bottle. It’s still a solid fragrance for the price and would work well as a simple summer scent, but in the end it didn’t quite align with what I look for in my collection. Scent: 7/10 | Longevity: 8/10 | Projection: 7/10 | Overall: 6.5/10

#1431 in my "Tour de Fragrance" If you like Creed "Millesime" (and clone Armaf "CDN Milestone") you'll like this. I admit I gave away my Millesime early in my fragrance journey because it was so ambery sweet it was cloying. But I was just getting out of colognes and EDTs and into EDPs, Parfums and Extraits and I probably was overspraying, because this works bests with one spritz, not six, like a Tommy Bahama maritime scent. Used with restraint I like this a lot. Strong performer on my skin and good projection. Probably better for casual wear and date night than work, but you could get away with it in the office. And $40 is a fair price. But I think you'll be just as happy with the Armaf at $10 less.

Very similar to Creed Millesime Imperial the only issue is the longevity and silage , they should work on that to make sure that people around you can feel the smell, not just after few minutes become skin scent with no projection Scent 10/10 Longevity 5/10 Sillage 5/10 Projection 5/10

This is more natural smelling vs other clones inspired by Creed Silver Mountain Water. Armaf Milestone is way stronger and projects stronger than this, however Armaf Milestone is WAY more synthetic smelling. So if you want beastly performance and don't mind the synthetic smell, go for the Armaf. Milestone smells slightly more floral and citrus heavy to me as well. If you want something thats not as beastly but smells slightly more natural, go with Imperial Gold. This is by no means a weak fragrance. I get pretty good performance from this. Milestone just projects stronger, especially in the beginning. Presentation is very nice and expensive looking. Bottle is heavy and gold. Box is ornate with metal or heavy plastic gold finishes. I got this for $40 for a full presentation.....and have not regrets.
