The review

Malay Aklan Inspired scores 6.0 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Millesime Imperial.

Montagne Parfums lists 4 of the 8 notes in Millesime Imperial's pyramid — bergamot, iris, sicilian lemon and musk. What it does not list: sea salt, marine notes, mandarin orange and woody notes; and it adds mandarin, amber and sandalwood of its own.

It is sold as a parfum — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Montagne Parfums 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

Creed Millesime Imperial is sea salt, marine notes and bergamot at first, iris, sicilian lemon and mandarin orange at its heart and musk, woody notes and marine notes at the end. Montagne Parfums set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • sea salt
  • marine notes
  • bergamot

Heart

  • iris
  • sicilian lemon
  • mandarin orange

Base

  • musk
  • woody notes
  • marine notes
For the one who chases sunlit Mediterranean coastlines, wearing a salty, fruity citrus that evokes carefree seaside afternoons and gentle sea spray.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
