Smell classy, lasts long. But not abnoxious.
Old school gem, very underrated.
gives me the vibe of smoking a cigar in a forest cabin with a fire when it’s raining outside.
The first fragrance I liked and what started my fragrance journey, definitely a more mature scent.
Performance is great.
Millesime Imperial is one of those fragrances you so badly want to dislike because of how simplistic and overtly overpriced it is, and yet there’s something brilliant about it; which is a common theme among many Creeds. It’s just such a straightforwardly gorgeous fruity marine scent done so well. The vague sweet fruitiness combined with an array of citrus pairs beautifully with this rush of a faded marine accord, as though you’re not standing by the sea but rather looking at it in the distance. There’s a slight saltiness, and that iconic creamy-fresh woodiness in the base of most Creed scents which we all know and love. As I said I don’t want to like this, the price is absurd for how simple and weak it is, and yet I know I’ll end up buying a bottle at some point because it’s just lovely. It’s not the best Creed by a long shot, but it just scratches that itch on a warm summer’s day.
I had such high hopes for Suède et Safran, but unfortunately I was only led to disappointment. To put it simply, this is a definite riff on Tuscan Leather, which I am getting so sick of smelling at this point. It’s not a bad scent, it’s just not a scent profile I enjoy at all. The ‘suede’ note is just the same leather accord used in the Tom Ford, but instead of that sickly raspberry to pair with it, you’ve got saffron; which to be honest is almost equally as annoyingly sweet and cloying. And that’s pretty much it, that’s the whole scent. For a house as great as Nishane I expected a lot better, and definitely wasn’t expecting what is essentially a glorified clone. If you enjoy Tuscan Leather, you’ll probably enjoy this too. But I don’t.
I’m sure there’s many who do and will love this.
It’s not for me. This is a scent profile I keep coming across and every time I find it cloying. It’s sweet, it’s floral, with a heavy spicy base of patchouli.
It’s strange as I love rose, and love patchouli.
For comparison -
AR has Litchi, Rose, and Patchouli.
Juice+ from Commodity has Raspberry, Rose, and Patchouli.
Angel Nova has Litchi, Rose, and Akigalawood.
Those are the 3 so far I could say are at least cousins if not sisters lol.
If you’re interested in AR, check out the other two too. Could save yourself a fortune.
What I think Gucci did here is, they created the most versatile Elixir fragrance on the market. This is pretty unique despite the small similarities to Le Male and Reflection Man. I’ll admit that it had to grow on me, but now I get it. Spicy, sweet, powdery and long lasting. Lots of synthetics used? Sure. This doesn’t shine up close, but in the air, catch a whiff of this blowing in the cool fall breeze… magic.
Sandalwood note in this is really nice. Redundant if you already own the original though. I see it as a cash grab for Chanel and really kind of irritates me that we got this before a new BDC flanker. Just make a BDC Elixir or a completely new line Chanel…. Thanks
An absolute steal for the price you can find it for. Paid $25 for a 4.2oz tester with cap. If you want Tuxedo, but can’t justify the price, get this. Spicy, sweet and a touch of floral. Classy and casual when it needs to be. Cheap gem that will always be in the rotation for in the colder months.
Shame this got discontinued. The citruses, mixed with a touch of spice and a lot of powdery Iris, create such a clean and easy to wear fragrance. Signature scent worthy, smooth and well blended. This would be appropriate for anything, anywhere, anytime. Bring this back Dior. Better than Prada L’Homme.
The EDT version is a fresh and airy floral citrus scent that is perfect for warm days in the spring and summer.
Opens with a hint of citrusy fruit, but I mostly get dark green herbs with a bit of smoke. I love it.
Picture this: the devil girl from Mars levels her cotton candy raygun, and the blast floats eternally in zero gravity. Each crystalline sugar cloud drifts through stratospheric winds, spun and respun by ionized air. The atmosphere crackles plasma-charged, with impossible gamma rays that smell like electricity and stardust. This is pure space candy – confectionery untethered in the cosmic expanse, sugar crystals forming in streams of light. Sweet particles scatter like nebulae, catching starlight and spreading ever outward, a candyfloss cosmos; glittering, gossamer, and galactic.
In Venice Rococco, I am reminded of that iconic scene in The Company of Wolves, and my imagination takes care of the rest: the wedding party dissolves into wolves, but their powdered costumes and countenances still hang in the air – rice-white, chalk-soft, cloud-thick, falling like snow in a fairy tale gone corrupt and perverse. Powder piles in drifts against the walls, powder floats in sheets through candlelight, powder settles like ash on abandoned masks, powder dusts every surface until the mirrors suffocate in white. The scent floats between reality and nightmare, each breath drawing in more sweet, choking powder. Underneath all those layers of white lies something wild – teeth behind the powder puff, claws stirring up fresh clouds with every step. This is what's left in the powder room after the cursed aristocrats' lycanthropic transformations, their perfumed wigs drowning in drifts of violet-white dust, the air so thick with powder it erases the line between beast and beauty.

Such a well blended scent! the cardamom is not to overpowering and goes so well with the fresh tobacco. when I wear this I feel like a classy gentleman in a Suit and tie at a upscale bar in the UK. Last a long time but the projection isn’t going to gas out a room. If it’s in your price point and don’t already have halfeti I would 100% recommend adding to your collection.
got this for about $20 usd a year ago and I still have a full bottle. Not bad for the price but no one ever mentions that it smells like a boozy apple pie. Last a long time but not being a fan of boozy scents kinda kills this one for me.
A beautiful and comforting oolong tea scent with hints of roasted rice.
It smells like an citron so it so refreshing highly recommend it to anyon.
It s my favorite orange fragrance, it unbelievably underrated so give it a try.
It s sooooo cheap and for that money it performes really good and smells soooo good
It smells really good, but it doesn t last that long and has ok Performanc.
nice winter scent if you like cinnamon and honey.
for 10 times cheaper than Creed Aventus its totaly worth it
