On paper, Citron Del Mar is a strong bet if you want Millesime Imperial for less.

Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Millesime Imperial's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on sea salt, marine notes and bergamot, turns to iris, sicilian lemon and mandarin orange, and settles into musk, woody notes and marine notes. That is the brief Citron Del Mar is working from.
