The review
Millesime Imperial scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Millesime Imperial.
The Essence Vault 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.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 94% less than Millesime Imperial — the 2nd cheapest of 16 twins we can price.
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 The Essence Vault 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. The Essence Vault set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

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