Club de Nuit Milestone Armaf for women and men

smells like an old lady and it reminds me of my aunty. idk why many people agreed with "great blind buy" pros opinion, for me it's not a blind buy safe. this dna is not my cup of tea. the performance is decent though

I don't like it. It has this metallic smell and female kind of deodorant smell. This type of things give me headache.

I had a decant about 6-7 months ago of this and three sprays carried around for 6-7hrs with nice presence and a great sillage, it was a bit synthetic up close but on the air it smelled sooo good, like you just took a shower with a fancy violet soap; sweet, musky and airy. I recently finally got a bottle that says was made in 04/23 and the smell is not as strong on the air nor does it last more than 4hrs, it also smells less musky, more sandalwood and the sweetness of the violet is a tiny bit more synthetic than I remember, making it have a slightly "heavier" feel even though the scent is the same 🥺 I expect it to macerate and in some months be able to say it was just that as I have experienced before with arab perfumes. But if it was indeed a reformulation issue I'll let y'all know cous the scent of my decant definitely has a cleaner feel 😭 it's not much but compared side to side I can detect the difference in quality. I still like it and will use it; if you don't mind the synthetic feel it's a nice purchase at the price point

Never smelled the creed one, although this one just rocks!!
You get a lot of salty and citrusy and bit of fruity as time passes, i didnt reach yet the dry down but im sure it will be good.

Best clone for Millesime Imperial

Scent : 9/10 ( not synthetic for me )
Performance : 9/10
Price : 10/10

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bought it because of the tiktok hype. Picked it up for around 30$, and it shows; absolute synthetic mess. Milestone smells like an extremely synthetic watermelon candy, and cheap smelling violet. Ended up having to give it to a friend. I will say though, the longevity and projection was actually really good. Overall, does not come close to the classiness of Creed's Millesime Imperial

This was a scrubber at first for me. All I got was a manly blast of cologne, salty melon and alcohol. I left it for a while and decided to try it out again. The next time that I tried it, I was much more pleasantly surprised. The opening is still harsh and not my fave. But after 30 minutes or so, it dries down to an aquatic scent with the violet coming out! It is subtle but I love violets. It's a semi sweet violet mixed with salty aquatic airiness. I like to amp up the violet by layering Molinard's violet. Glad I was able to make it work.

ISO this one
i have a lot of dupes to let go for this one

This fragrance is ok, if you've been in the fragrance game for a while then your initial thoughts of this fragrance will be mixed. One minute this will smell more female; the next, it will smell more male.
One thing I can say about this fragrance is NOT to blind buy it as it is not meant for everyone, but if you're willing to take a risk, then, by all means, go for it.

This was the only Armaf I bought so far that actually has somehow gone bad, or oxidised in a way that has not improved it (Armaf's definitely seem to get better or at least calmer after 6 months or so). There is some mad funky mushroom smell that makes this unwearable, I am stuffed if I know what it is, perhaps the salty note or the ambroxan mixing with something else. I am hanging onto it to see if moves through it, but so far can't find a use for that vibe. The sad thing is I can see what it could be like as it was initially nice like a salty watermelon (and who hasn't got time for that?), but something went janky.

Wore this today (wore Sillage to work, then showered and applied this for the evening), and a few things came to mind:
• Millesime Imperial was basically Green Irish Tweed with a ton of fruit on top and excess salt/ambergris in the base. The iris/violet accord with hints of green and woods was always there, just attenuated into those olfactory bookends.
• Armaf got it right with Milestone because it smells exactly like a stripped-down GIT with overly fruity opening accords and a wallop of salt beneath it all.
• Vintage MI was richer and bore more similarities to GIT than current MI, which is a weirdly grey-cast freshie with more citrus than before. Milestone smells like vintage.
• "Red Fruits" is just marketing copy. Armaf being cute. The note is plainly watermelon. But, abstracted watermelon, kind of a fantasy version, if that makes sense.
• Armaf could resurrect Creed's Green Valley in clone form with a Club de Nuit, if it wanted to. And they could do it just as good. It mystifies me that they've wasted so much clout on stuff like Iconic and Urban Man. I believe this because Tabarome Millesime, Millesime Imperial, GIT, and SMW were all grafted into Green Valley. If they can pull off near-exact clones of MI and SMW, they could do it with GV.
• I've only smelled one Blackrock Creed, my F-batch SMW. To me it smells a lot like the one sample I had back when Creed owned Creed. But to my nose, they skimmed some of the ambergris and mineralic notes out of the formula, probably to save money. Since Armaf imbues their formulas with Ambroxan and doesn't cheap out on materials (granted, they're not quite to the exact level of pre-sale Creeds, but they're literally one notch under), the overall impact of the Creed is virtually the same as the Armaf. Same is true with Milestone and MI; these are so close that to call one a clone and the other the "real deal" is splitting hairs, as there's only a hair's difference between them.
• Given how excellent Milestone and Sillage are, there's no point in buying the Creeds anymore. Pierre Bourdon's work has been given an alternate-universe treatment by Armaf, and it fascinates me to no end.

I was interested in this because I have have several from the line, none of which have let me down, but was doubtful about how much I'd enjoy this one as it's marketed as unisex; I thought it might come off too feminine.

Thankfully, it doesn't.

This stuff smells great from opening to dry down. I immediately picked up on the watery violet, one of my favorite notes, and the red fruits. It's quite summery and has an aquatic feel.

It's not a heavy fragrance, definitely suited for warm, sunny weather. Projection and longevity seem to be on the soft side but aren't bad, and at this price, you can safely spray more without feeling guilty.

I don't have anything else that smells like this. A successful blind buy and another hit from Armaf.

I actually didn't like this much at all when I first picked it up, which I only grabbed to complete my little Club De Nuit collection. After sitting on the shelf for a couple months, I just randomly decided to pick it up and have a spray or two; and oh my goodness it is just so so much better. Better enough that I pretty much immediately came here to up it's rating and drop a line or two about how crazy it is how much it has changed, just from letting it breathe a little. Once again, Armaf has done me right in the end.

I love the watermelon (?) opening, but sandalwood quickly steals the show. It’s too intense, and verges into Santal 33-esque territory. If I sniff my skin, I get the full picture of this fragrance, but the sillage is all sandalwood, at least on me. Will try spraying on clothes before giving up on this one. But I think I’ll have to keep looking for the melony, salty, marine scent of my dreams.

I was immediately struck with a burst of a briny, aquatic watermelon! I LOVE this fragrance. It’s unlike anything in my collection and fits perfect for the hot and humid climate I live in.

No watermelon here. Who says otherwise must be delusional. Just red fruits, a hefty dose of "horse radish" and musk, and that's all for this. No marine, no saltiness. And projection 1.5 hours with horse radish note dominant, musky drydown longevity 5-6 hours.

I get a delicious watermelon opening contrary to many people's experiences. I love the dry down as well.

Personally my bottle doesnt have any harsh opening like many people say, definitely smells very niche, bottle looks insanely good for a clone fragrance line

I thought have wrote my opinion on this, but i did not so here we go..
I bought 2ml sample maybe 2y ago, and i came back to this now and it changed a little bit.
However from what i remember it was more juicy and watermelony/fruity opening. It also had some strange note in it/salty minerals?/ but it was gone quite fast. But now after 2 years, i gotta say i was surprised how salty/mineral it is with cooling effect. Very intresting smell, when i got it i was newbie in fragrance game, and i thought it is too feminine. However now with that heavy minerals and musky undertone it is tolerable as male scent for me(i dont like unisex/feminine leaning frags).
All in all i dont think i need full bottle of this, it doesnt suits me i wouldnt wear it often.

Bought this today while in my local department store in Dhaka. It's unique. Never smelled Creed MI and am not really bothered. Seems strong but I have yet to test it out in the Bangladeshi heat. Very airy, aquatic scent and gets better in the dry down. No harshness in the opening but it's also not fabulous either. Not for everyone but it's definitely got it's audience. A solid 8/10 from me given the price and DNA

This fragrance is unique when I wear I still smell it around me after 3 hours. I had very good time with this fragrance. I believe this fragrance tends to be for males more

Dare I say, I do like this. It has a "spent the day at the beach" kinda vibe, but not in a generic "sunscreen" or "coconut" way. More like a "breeze in your hair and salty water" sort of way. Smells a bit green and earthy as well (almost like cucumber?). Not very sweet, which honestly, after being bombarded with all the overly sweet beachy scents, this is a nice relief. I think I'll be wearing this quite often in the summer.

Compliment magnet, lasts for the whole day, smells heavenly.
Let it macerate!!!

I will be honest the house of Creed has gone downhill since 2017 Creed puts out overhyped fragrances with price tags that are insanely high..get this fragrance way better than imperial this cline has better projection longevity and great price value no brainer

Full disclosure: I have never smelled Creed’s Millesime Imperial. This will not be any sort of comparative review; I am judging this fragrance on its own merit!

The initial spray is sharp. A burst of perfumer’s alcohol will likely greet you on each spray. It settles down quickly, though. It doesn’t linger or anything please keep that in mind. Sweet and fresh are the main themes here going forward.

At first when I close my eyes and sniff I get a cold and musky ambroxan strawberry popsicle. But the truth is - I kinda dig that! A well judged sprinkle of salt rounds it all out. If you were expecting an ultra realistic watermelon at this phase you may be disappointed. It just smells like a nice fruit inspired modern designer style fragrance.

As it dries the sweet fruit thing moves into the back seat and the ocean air accord comes through more. This part I actually like even more. It is harmonious and balanced. The musks are very inoffensive. It smells a bit airy and cold. The dry down is very solid here. With most fruit or citrus style fresh fragrances, you are left missing that opening. But I think the entire evolution of this fragrance is pleasant.


Overall? Hey, I can give it one thumb up. It is absolutely a pleasant smell. Maybe don’t expect it to blow your mind. Still worthy of a man’s summer line up. Seems to last quite a long time for me. Playful but in a handsome way not in an immature way. I’ll give it a strong 7/10.

Side note: the bottle is absolutely badass!

No love and no hate...to me is an uninteresting summer fragrance with luck of character...

Horrendous - if you’re looking to expand on your vegetable fragrance collection, look no further.

Celery & cucumber, supported by a chemical mess.

Got a 5ml to test it out.

On me, this is *very* salty and musky.

I feel like I'm smelling into a bag of magnesium, or some other pharmaceutical / medicinal mineral 😳

There's a dense, pungent, chemical quality to it that I find unpleasant. It's making me a bit nauseated.

I honestly recommend sampling this first if you can. Not a safe blind buy.

I'll let the decant settlet just in case, but it's a "No" for me.

One of my few blind buy regrets. Thankful that it wasn’t expensive. It may smell okay to others through wafts in the air, I’m not sure, but when smelling it on myself it’s just too synthetic for me. There is some kind of chemical note in here that just smells off. It’s been a while since I’ve smelled Creed’s Millesime Imperial, but I remember it smelling much more classy and natural than this.

I usually impressed with Armaf, but this time, I have to say that I felt underwhelmed. All I can smell is the salty scent with a hint of lingering watermelon. Reminds me of Chanel Allure Sport (which I'm not a fan of).

Recent comments say it’s disgusting or whatnot. I would have to highly disagree. It smells like you’re eating a fresh watermelon right on the shoreline. I can just smell the salty mist from the waves crashing in as I take a large, juicy bite. It’s quite something - and perfect for the tropical weather that’s here all year round.

I straight up hate this fragrance. It has a rusty smell that's repulsive from the first sniff. The fruits mixed with the floral accord is a mess. I almost puked when smelling this on skin.
Good news is that this perfume lasts for a long time. Had to scrub my arm with soap multiple times.

Comparing this to a mid-2000s bottle of MI my mom owns. Milestone definitely comes off slightly lighter and more feminine. Less dense. The opening could definitely be better, but once it dries down for 20-30 minutes, the resemblance is there and the salty melon is pretty pleasant.
Especially at this price point, it's a bargain.

Disgusting

I agree with the synthetic opening but it goes away in few minutes. Dry down might be feminine for some but I guess it is a cheap fragrance for it's quality and what it offers. Worth to try

My chemical romance
Without the romance.
Not for me

Has this special understated sophistication. Breezy salty aquatic, airy with soft fruitiness and silky wood aroma. Gently energetic and very elegant. Classy wearing pleasure with substance and smooth, superior, captivating refinement; suits any occasion but shines in special ones. Best in spring and summer.
Only flaw perhaps is the moderate performance.
In my experience, the scent should be allowed to macerate a couple of weeks (the longer, the better) to fully develop and be appreciated.

PS: Milestone and Turathi Blue are the most complimented fragrances (by Ladies) of my collection.

Way too synthetic on the opening and the 'rusty/foisty' smell is 100% there and it persists throughout the entire fragrance though the dry down does smell like a caricature of a watermelon. Unfortunately I'm returning this, way too musty + red fruits for me but smells better in open air.

While this is similar to Creed, I was pretty disappointed to find this to be extremely metallic and harsh for the first 30 minutes and it honestly didn't fade much after that. For me, this is way too salty to be enjoyable.

UPDATE: Not sure if I just got used to it or sitting for a few weeks helped but the metallic opening seems to have calmed down to a more tolerable level. Still not a fan.

I feel that this fragrance as well as the Armaf brand a whole has been extremely hyped as of late. I think that’s fair considering the price you’re paying to get an approximation of very expensive scents. The Club De Nuit line is very consistent in its delivery in my opinion.

You will not want to huff this or any other CDN fragrance off your arm within the first 5-10 minutes after spraying it on. I totally understand the celery or rust notes people are getting from that perspective. In the air however, this fragrance is absolutely beautiful! That’s worth the price you’ll pay alone. I’d say it’s almost identical to its inspiration in the air, but MI hardly even makes it into the air since its projection is so poor, so Milestone gets the nod there. I’ll also say that MI is a slightly more musky and soft fragrance whereas the salt and brightness sticks with Milestone into the dry down. Worthy of a sample at the very least, and in my opinion, this is a 4/5 with the original being a 5/5 in terms of just the scent alone.

Dry down is excellent, almost identical to Millisime Imperial. The main issue is the opening which is so extremely harsh I had to get rid of it. For about 30 min I get a terrible watermelon scented kitchen cleaner and rotten alcoholic blast that makes my fiancé and I wince. Not sure if I got a bad batch since the opening seems to be the weak point across most reviews but it was extremely bad for me, if you get past that it's amazing but boy is it tough. Projection and performance are pretty decent considering the OG is terrible in both aspects. Now is it worth the $200+ to get the OG from discounters compared to $35ish for this one? Up to you to decide.

For those who haven't smelled the older versions of MI, that's what Milestone more closely captures. Not the newer iterations which are brighter and fresher. I have a 2015 and I'd say it's ~90%. Not bad at all. Certainly a bit screechy but if you want that vintage MI smell this is as close as I've found.

Got this after seeing many many Reviews and it's totally worth it.
Opening is Strong but after like 30 min it dry's down and becomes very pleasant to the nose and has a great scent which feels luxury and unique.
feels like a perfume which is very expensive yet simple.
Unisex and sillage is good too.
again it's very acceptable and worth the price point.

Too masculine for me. Have to my hubby.

I'm a woman who lives shoreline community... this is nice right now (early March), but I think it will be much better when the warm, humid months come along. On me, it's citrus/ woody/ salty/ musky. A strong like.

Had the 120ml 2016 bottle lasted a few hours no one smelt me the Armaf version very close 85-90 precent no brainer dumb reach gym grocery run office summer spring meeting simple women alway ask
What are u wearing or you smell nice

Honestly I didn't really like the salty watermelon/red fruit DNA from this clone initially but it has grown on me more. I far prefer Sillage as it my favorite fragrance but this is second for me in terms of the Armaf Club de Nuit line. Have worn it a few times so far at night and it does have good performance and longevity. Will wear more this upcoming summer and see how it performs. Feels like it would be a great beach scent.

Reading all of the recent reviews I motivated myself to write a second review,
Guys, I'm guessing most of you are here because you bought CDNIM, here's the thing, aventus and Millesime Imperial are not remotely close in any areas.
This is a metallic forward scent, salty and highly mineralic, I would understand that by the notes you expected something similar to Invictus or something really sweet, this is not the case. Millesime Imperial is definitely sweeter than this, but I literally think this is better and more unique. This is like a male version of BR540, it's a tad sweet but mostly metallic and raw kind of smelling.

The only thing amazed me about it is the first 5 second of the opening then it became cheap to my nose! absolutely headache!!! i got 2 bottles, by the way i tried Creed in the airport they are the same shit

I've had this on for about 30-45mins and all I can smell is ocean water. This NOT a pleasant smell. If u want to smell like extra salty ocean water then buy it.

Some people say that the original club de nuit EDT is synthetic and harsh and yet my nose never had any problems with it. However this one is synthetic as fuck! Skip it and save money.

DEFINETLY NOT A BLIND BUY! The salt top note is unbearable. After 3-4 hours you can still smell it.

I blind bought it thinking that it being kinda similar to Sillage (or so they say) this would also be a no brainer, but oh the disappointment.
To me Sillage is a 10/10 and Milestone is a 2/10. Yes, it really is that bad :(.

This has an undeniable petroleumautomotive grease/bug spray smell that never goes away. The Creed mi sweetness is underneath it there but you have to get past the disgusting toxic chemicals to smell it. This is absolutely unwearable. I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone. It is a toxic, headache inducing mess. It doesn’t even smell safe to breathe. 0/10 if you’re in Nashville and want it I have a whole bottle for you.

comparing this to the (new wave version) of Ed Hardy Love & Luck for Men i like this better its more stronger and has better quality . creed one is around 200 and this is 33 bucks of course the creed is going to be better. i enjoy this one its worth the 33 bucks but when a clone gets to 40 or 50 its over priced

Smelled this side by side with millesime imperial and milestone is absolute shit.. wtf is even the comparison? Milestone got a harsh metallic synthetic root with a little bit of sweetness to it which last trough the whole lifespan.
The only reasons i can think of when people say this is identical is that they use it for an self symphaty excuse for not having the possability to buy the real deal or have never smelled it. I understand it, i do. The pricepoint is high but so is the quality. Dont compare shit to quality and assume its the same just because a influenser got shitloads of money just to lie in your face.

Finally I did some testing side by side! I'll probably trigger a lot of people with this review, but: I think it smells like an exaggerated version of Creed Millesime Imperial (with all the good and bad that means), like when you over amplify an audio signal and everything saturates. Like a caricature. This is more noticeable at the opening. If you can tolerate it, go ahead! It's like 60% similar for 10% of the price!

But what makes it untolerable for me, is this very strong, synthetic and unpleasent rusted salty cucumber on top of the whole fragrance. Is this what makes it to last longer and amplifies it? It lasts way more than Creed Millesime Imperial, but who wants something that last longer at the cost of a bad opening and a weird rusty smell? Longevity sometimes is overrated guys. The Creed smells way more refined, rounded, delicate and has this musky/ambergris base that Milestone lacks completely.

Sadly for my pocket, Milestone does not replace Millesime Imperial for me, actually I feel it is definitely overhyped in the community and in these reviews.

I cannot stand this fragrance. I have had it on for about 30-45 minutes and it still smells nasty. Try before you buy! 2/10

Red fruits, marine type smell opening and dries down a bit more floral.

Definately unisex, but a great performance and sillage, and a good price if you want to try a MI Creed DNA if you do actually like it at all.

Normally, ARMAF is a safe blind buy . BUT NOT THIS ONE ! First: because of the higher price point ..... and it has that "marine" note that reads like "salted cucumber / seaweed salad". (Same note in Bvlgari Aqua & Marine fragrances) . Longevity and projection is good , I guess. But still ......... You were warned.

I see they tried to go for MI, but the opening is a bit off for my nose. It reminds me of this Izod cologne I had in middle school. I need to try this again when its warmer, but its definitely more floral than MI as well.

So far its kind of eh, definitely doesn't seem to have the sparkle that Creed does. Somehow MI is light but full, those Creed musks are just in another category!

This is for women only. For a 50 year old elementary school teacher from 90s to be exact. Also has one of those musks that smell like BO, especially in the drydown.

LOVE

I absolutely feel in love with this fragrance. I blind bought this with high hopes and was not disappointed. I went to smell CMI after buying this and was absolutely shocked on how they're pretty much identical. I dont know about the performance of CMI, but Milestone has an amazing performance. Honestly, for the price, it's an easy cop.

The marine opening is overwhelming. I get the sensation of drowning in an icy public swimming pool, when the power has been cut. It’s a real authentic trauma response, and I’m not sure if I had some traumatizing experience in a pool earlier, that my subconscious is now revisiting. Regardless, The marine notes dry down into a fruity powdery scent which I find much more tolerable. I like to layer this with my Toy Boy because I find the rose notes balance out the marine. Me and this cologne are still getting to know each other, it’s the only one in my collection I am iffy on.

Rating: 5/10

Amazing deeper, richer and longer lasting clone of Creed's Milliseme Imperial.

It smells unique and fresh, lasts a whole day. Perfect for summer.

If you can make it past the horrible opening, it becomes quite pleasant. Unfortunately I can’t get over the opening. It’s too harsh for me. It smells expired, like spicy celery doused in rusty salt water. I even complained to the retailer I bought it from, assuming it must be a bad batch. However I showed it to a friend who is familiar with the whole Club de Nuit range, and he assured me that there was nothing wrong with my bottle. Harsh opening out the way and the water melon begins to take the lead. It’s juicy, not overly sweet, but just sweet enough to remind you it’s a fruit and not a vegetable. The salt note remains prominent, it’s all very clean and aquatic, but not very ‘blue’. It’s like watermelon and cucumber infusing in a jug of sea water. I haven’t made it to the dry down to comment, as I went to sleep on it, but I can imagine it gets nicer. I’ll probably get it out again in the summer and give it another go. By all accounts it’s great clone of MI, however I have only smelt MI once on the counter at Harrods, but I’d say unless it’s your sig frag or you’re a complete snob, I doubt you will notice enough difference’s between the two to justify the difference in price.

I blind bought this and I regret it. Not my scent. I smell grass, earth and some citrus, i also sense some metallic note, nothing more. A men's fragrance. I can't see this being worn by a woman. Overall rating 6/10.

This is really good.

Salty , fruity and musky. There is definitely an aquatic watermelony aroma. Uplifting and refreshing for the warm weather.

Performance is actually quite good on my skin. I once applied 6 sprays of this and a female colleague of mine told me I applied too much but said that it smells good.

Great value for the price if you ask me.

Decent for the price
Smells good, but is definitely unisex I'd rate it 50Female 50Male %ratio, a man can most definitely pull it off no problem. It smells pretty close to the Creed Version but definitely not 100%, maybe 85-90% to me. The reason I'm not rating it 5 is cause a women told me it smells like something an old lady would wear, which I can kinda see why she said that. That's the 10-15% that's missing from this clone that'll have people saying stuff like that. The Original creed one would never have someone say that as i own that one also an know. The creed version has a special rich smelling vibe/note added to it, as it should for the Price.

I just got a decant of the og Millesime after buying side effect at Neiman Marcus..this is legit 90% close..a little harsher and more synthetic of course..but it's so close..glad I didn't spend $500 on a full bottle.

This is the best of the Club De Nuit line of clones. It's the only one I'll wear outside the house, and it's extremely pleasant right out of the gate. None of that initial synthetic stuff the others have at the beginning. It's a lovely marine melon combo that I enjoy.

I'd give it 8/10 as a scent, 9/10 as a clone, and 10/10 as a safe blind-buy.

My only knock on it is the sprayer. I have to pump it 7-8x before it sprays, so there must be some sort of damage to it. My bottles of CDNI and CDNS don't have this problem.

Honestly this is the only Armaf fragrance I have actually felt nauseous smelling, this is horrible, smells like a salty cucumber that has been heavily synthesised and put in a bottle. I honestly need to stop listening to these frag reviewers lol.

I want to preface by saying that purchasing Armaf products these days feels like a bit of a gamble, akin to playing Russian roulette with the outcome.

Now, onto my review. My batch, dated 06/2023 and made in France, opens with a salty, slightly fruity impression that soon transforms into a delicate blend of watermelon, sea notes, and a woody base.

What stands out is its non-screechy and non-cloying nature, unless you purposely bury your nose where you sprayed it. This characteristic is quite common with many perfumes. As is the case with numerous Armaf fragrances, I recommend letting it breathe after the initial spray. Personally, I've found this fragrance to be my go-to signature scent for the summer months—it strikes a perfect balance and is set to become a staple in my collection.

Smells like infuse water, great price, worth to have. Longevity is incredible. Sillage is okay. Haven’t tried the Creed MI, but Milestone is great enough for me, adding option for humid and hot weather scent. Marine, salty, and citrusy touch, also sweetness from ambroxan that make it last longer.

It's gorgeous, but the prominent salt accord ruins its for me, personally. That being said, if you're one of those crazy space aliens that puts salt on watermelon, then eats it, this is right up your alley. I've worn it twice, and never will again. I'm a floral and fresh aquatic lover, so I should love this, but that's how obtrusive I find the salt accord.

This is a great buy at a great price! It projects around 6ft(and further if the wind is blowing in the right direction!) and draws compliments! I just bought my 2nd bottle and I really love this. I have many more expensive designer fragrances and this is up there in quality. However, what makes the difference is the opening. This is okay but harsh and once you get passed that then it comes into its own as a freshly pleasent late spring, summer and early autumn scent. I've not bought the Creed version(no would I) but from the experts on YT there is no difference and the longevity is better! A certain recommend!

I HAVE THIS AND LOVING IT, BUT THE BOTTLE THO CAN BE USED AS SELF DEFENSE.

I feel the marine/fresh notes, violet (almost like lavender), bergamot, ambroxan and musk. It's a fresh and clean fragrance, but don't mistake it for a blue fragrance. It's more marine/floral, almost like a floor cleaner in a good way. Pretty versatile, you can wear this for casual or semiformal occasions. Great for summer or hot weather. Better for spring. It leans to the masculine side, but it's not that far of being unisex.

careful. this stuff is strong, lasts forever and headache inducing, and not in a good way. I want to scrub it off.

My Armaf Club De Nuit Milestone arrived just now. Sprayed it twice. I cannot even describe how good that smell is. It smells like luxury, sea breeze and watermelon. This fragrance feels like a million dollars.

The aquatic notes make it have a dominant alcohol-like smell but it dies down a little after it dries down. The scent is an 8/10 and this is a fragrance that I would recommend checking out.

I just can't believe that someone can do such a good job - even for so little money - great value!

At the beginning of the first 5 minutes it may be a little synthetic and has the famous Armaf note, which is also used in Armaf Sillage - but later the sea note with fruit develops so beautifully it's crazy!
Comparison on the left hand with the original Creed Imperial and on the right Armaf - there is almost no difference - Millestone even totally beats it in longevity!

It also lasts very, very well - and I also advise that when you get it in your hands for the first time, spray it well and put it in the closet for a month to macerate - that's it!

I bought this believing it will be unisex but it's definitely for men.
Very beautiful drydown.

Nice smell,but it gaves me a headaches,maybe marine note..!?but in general its nice and get me compliments.

2nd part: I don't know how this is a summer/spring scent, this is very dense and warm because of the sandalwood and salty oceanic notes, you could wear this all year round with no issues, I would just go lighter on the spray on hotter days, 2 sprays max on summer, 4 max on winter, it's crazy strong.

I got this yesterday.
Funny story: A seller woman sold me this for $28 bucks, which is a good deal but I guess she was a bit inexperienced with fragrances and the post was supposed to be CDN Sillage. I decided to cop it anyways without telling her that it wasn't the fragance on the post because f it, the price was good.
This reminds me a lot of baccarat rouge and another of Armaf's releases, Odyssey Mega Limited Edition.
I've never smelt creed's MI but if it's anything close then it's a pretty good cologne. The smell is very elegant, masculine and metallic, the red fruits come through and always stay there until the very last hours of the fragrance, longevity is excellent even in an unmacerated bottle, this lasts 8+ hours on skin, on clothes it should be "eternal".
Any age can wear this but 20-50yo is perfect, specially suits people with a serious and quiet demeanor, since it's a very sophisticated DNA. 9/10.

I thought this was a women’s or more unisex perfume based on the bottle (I am a woman). I put it on and I got DG light blue vibes, which is a way too masculine scent on me. This is definitely for men. Smells good, clean with lots of bergamot in it. Love the freshness especially as many men’s fragrances smell dirty to me. Has great silage and i could see it lasting 5-6 hours but I wiped it off bc it’s so manly. Would totally buy this for my partner if he didn’t already have a large collection.

Forget the fact that this is an exact copy of Miliseme Imperial- This is the best cheap cologne I’ve ever bought.

Club de nuit intense I’d say is 80% Aventus, but this man, I’m telling you- this IS Miliseme Imperial. Low key regret buying Miliseme Imperial because of this thing.

Just don't jugde this fragrance right away when you get it! In my case, it was very harsh and synthetic. I didn't like it at all. So, what did i do then? I left it to macerate for one month without a cap, put the cap back on and forgott about it for almost 4 months. Few days ago, i comed back to it and oh, this is such a nice spring/summer scent. Pretty unique also. Performance are now very, very good for a freshie!

I finally got a sample of MI to directly compare to Milestone. My observation is that MI is nice, balanced and sophisticated like I would expect Creed to be, but weak as hell. Not worth the money at all. My observation about Milestone is that I can see how it's trying to be MI, but to my nose there is just SOMETHING unacceptably nasty about it. Like they are doing some kind of scent shortcut but it comes off like plastic, or something. So despite all of the rave reviews I have seen about Milestone, I can't agree. I will let it sit in the closet for a month and see if it improves.

No conozco el perfume al cual está inspirado, tampoco conozco mucho de perfumería... Pero obtuve un decant del Milestone y ya de salida no me agradó para nada... Si es afrutado... Si es fresco y acuático... Pero lo siento demasiado sintético... Y tiene alguna nota por ahí que no me agrada, no se si es la violeta o que... Es dulcecito pero en mi opinión es desagradable... No voy a hablar de rendimientos, solo doy mi opinión sobre el aroma... No lo recomiendo para compra a ciegas... a mi novia no le desagradó pero
después de una hora de uso me dijo que era algo empalagoso o repugnante... Lo encuentro usable en casi todos los climas, pero ya repito... Probarlo antes de adquirirlo

Salty marine vibe with some sweetness buried underneath. Quality is good. Performance is good too. Got it as a gift and really liked it straight away. Will update my review in coming days. 7.5/10 for now.

This is beautiful beautiful amazingly beautiful. Great price, very good quality, I own over 100 perfumes and this is definitely in my top 10! I love it!

Have both Creed MI and this one. Recent MI are a joke, wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Milestone is better, though a bit synthetic smelling.

a good purchase for newbie like me, good price to performance. nice watery and watermelon scent at the opening. i don't really get salty part just watery notes. and i love that in the very end it smells soft sweet and musky. for longevity a bit tricky for me, after 3-4 hour i can't smell it at all but person around me can still smells me, but close to 6 hour i can smell it again. i'd say i can smell it around 10 hours although it's very close to the skin. one funny thing, i spray it before bed and sleep right away, my bed smells like milestone until the next day lol

Armaf's clone of Millesime Imperial. How does it perform, and how does it stack up to the real deal? Read on to find out;

Scent:
Right away you can tell this is a clone of Millesime Imperial. Opening is fruity, watery, and smooth. You get a salty wateriness from the sea notes along with some sweetness and tartness from the fruit/bergamot notes. You also get a good dose of violet, and just a touch of the wood notes and musk. Those that say it smells like salted melon are spot on, it absolutely does. In the dry down you still get the same salted melon smell, but the wood and musk notes are much more noticeable.

Performance:
Initial projection is strong, around 6 feet. Sillage is strong as well with an easily noticeable scent trail. After a few hours the projection was about 12 inches and the scent trail was modest but still present. Altogether the scent lasted on my skin about 12 hours, making it certified eternal.

When to wear:
This is 100% a spring/summer day fragrance. It smells fresh, fruity, and is very appropriate for hot weather. I did wear this to the office once, and I did get a couple of compliments, but it's not really an office scent. It could be a very nice choice for an outdoors date during the spring or summer though.

Blind buy:
If you like Millesime Imperial, or you like oceanic and fruity fragrances, this is a safe blind buy.

Final verdict:
I have smelled Millesime Imperial, and I have smelled Milestone. I can tell you they're about 95% similar. If I'm smelling them side by side, I can pick up minute differences. Outside of that scenario, indistinguishable. If someone were to walk by me wearing this, I'd just assume they were wearing Millesime Imperial. So if you're wanting to wear Millesime Imperial, but you don't have that kind of money yet, you can pick this up and have the same experience.

Scent: 7/10
Longevity: 9/10
Sillage: 8/10

Disgusting, smells like mushrooms and fish. Absolutely awful. Kind of feels like something a merman would wear if you want to give off those vibes? Also very metallicy

Horrible, very cloying, synthetic and nauseating, how can anyone hype this? I can't imagine getting a compliment. Very nauseating.

I mean for the price it's great but in my opinion just save up a little bit more and get something higher quality for the summer time.
Decent longevity, the "meat" of this fragrance as in the fruity and aquatic notes stay on for approx. 4hours. After that I cannot smell anything other than the musks that are leftover.
Haven't smelt this on anyone else but would imagine that this smells better in the air on others than on myself.
Dolce&Gabbana light blue eau intense for instance is a little bit more expensive but a 100x more enjoyable and does the same trick but better and has more versatility.
overall 7/10

Very fresh and aquatic scent. Great to wear for an everyday cologne. Not overpowering, but still projects well enough.

Very very unique summer scent wow. The oceanic notes are prominent and quite intriguing. I get a slight hint of citrus as well. Generally fresh fragrances perform poorly on my skin but this one definitely gives me better performance than other freshies. 8.5/10 would recommend

This is a musk and violet bomb! And it is is extremely synthetic at that! Looking to get rid of my bottle 🤮

The exact same as Miliseme Imperial and I have both.

Hi perfumistas,
I have used Creed MI. Still have a bottle.
Armaf Milestone is same as MI..
But stronger, more long lasting.
Being a surgeon have to be very
careful selecting a fragrance.
To my nose Milestone is like fresh strong seabreeze in its dry down.
One of my absolute favourites.

Only one request to Armaf,
maintain the quality concentration.
Please.

Milestone triumphs in being a masterpiece of contradictions — decidedly luxurious yet peculiar, and decidedly soft yet captivating. Considered a worthy clone of Creed Millésime Impérial, this fragrance invites almost cinematic experience that warrants recognition.

Upon initial contact, Milestone gives off a slight musty cellar aroma, but it's far from off-putting. Instead, it sets the stage for a more complex journey. Imagine standing next to a rusty car parked on a sunlit sidewalk, the tang of salty sea air rushing past you, all while a vendor ambles by with freshly sliced watermelon — this fragrance encapsulates that very moment.

Evolving past its initial nuances, the scent begins to take on a somewhat metallic character. It's distinctly unique and perhaps 'elegant' would be the best descriptor here. Floral and nutty accents infuse the air, subtly embracing you without overpowering your senses. As it settles, a woody, earthy backdrop emerges, accented with what my friend described as hints of cucumber water — a rather fascinating twist, to say the least.

Though leaning more towards the feminine spectrum, it's versatile enough to be enjoyed by both genders, making it a go-to fragrance for many, myself included. It exudes a free-spirited charm, making it one of my favorite go-to scents for the summer months. My girlfriend steals it from me a lot.

Sillage is moderate at best, and longevity leaves a bit to be desired, maturing into an alluring skin scent that seems to make up for any initial shortcomings in its staying power. However, the scent lingers pleasantly on fabric for days.

Soft but never weak, linear yet multidimensional, Milestone offers a high-quality blend that captivates without demanding attention. If you're in search of a fragrance that’s as unconventional as it is refined, this is one worth adding to your collection.

In summary, Armaf Club de Nuit Milestone is a scent of intriguing contrasts, complex yet accessible. It's a fragrance that has remained a favorite from the first moment, regardless of any potential effects of maceration over time.

Sean John Unforgivable but lasts longer

First few months were vile, mushroom type smell. Now it sort of kind of smells like MI. Honestly it’s about 5/10 there (on skin) and 6.5/10 in the air. When I think about it, this really is a lot of value for money. But it doesn’t have the magic that MI has. It really does lack that special touch that MI delivers. Still, not too bad to have a bottle stored up somewhere if you want an air refreshener or just want to smell OK on the cheap. I would not rebuy this.

Maybe my skin just didn't like the scent, but this is the first time I've found myself scrubbing a fragrance off myself.

Opening was harsh and extremely synthetic, gave myself a headache smelling it. The drydown is okay and had a watermelon vibe to it which got me a compliment within the two hours I had it on. I assume the longevity is a beast because even with a brush and lots of soap it took a good 5 minutes of scrubbing to fully come off, and the projection is just ok. Would not blind buy, however I believe it is worth testing.

Nothing special, just ok.
Average performance and longevity.
Not my cup of tea.
UPDATE:
After a month of maceration i have to say that performance is way better and somehow the scent is improved too. It's not bad at all actually it's very nice and elegant so you have to give it some time in my opinion.

First of all, I want to say that I have never tried Millesime Imperial. However, I have had Ed Hardy Love & Luck for a long time, and that I very much like, but it lacks the performance. I bought this to get something similar and I have to say, it is very much a disappointment. It smells very close to Club de Nuit Sillage, which I also don't like too much. There is a super synthetic citrucy-musky smell that seems to be used in the fresher side of arabic perfumes, like the two previously mentioned and also Turatri Blue. At least I got mine for less than 30€, but still, I wouldn't recommend it to anybody.

I can't afford the Creed perfume - nor would I pay that much for any fragrance.
This is really gorgeous - floral, marine and fresh with EDP potency too.
This is very close to Bvlgari Aqva Marine - definitely. It may be nicer??
Great for Summer. Longevity and silage are both excellent.
Bought this blind - glad I did folks because this perfume is just a gem.

Extremely synthetic. Reminds me of Axe body spray. Do not buy if you are looking for anything similar to Millésime Impérial

I sampled this in 2021 and bought a bottle recently. Still don't know what to make of it. Strange opening that makes my nose feel like it's smelling tv static. Then it gets a bit fruity and salty and I like it, but it doesn't seem to have much definition or depth. When I smell it in the air I love it and want to spray it again, but then the scent I like eludes me again. Interesting note though, I just sprayed it directly on to my skin before going into hot weather and it dried almost instantly into a scent that reminds me of the heart notes of Dior Homme Eau, a soft musk-iris combo. It's funny cause before I went out, I was thinking "how the hell are these people saying they smell violet or iris" lol. Need more time to decide on this one, but there's a reason why I keep trying it I guess

Edit: Okay, I get it now, I think. It is salty air, seaside patina, and mixed fruits+ bitter tangy citrus. Then it is ambergris, purple flowers, and musk. I like both stages but the transition is sudden. And I can't tell if it's a bit too feminine for me or not. Really pleasant though.

not only tester strip boy but also sample boy here

and ꜰʀ this thing smelled plasticky to me, both times

maybe it’s the red fruits + ambroxan
or maybe it’s a genetic mutation of mine and I’m doomed :(

Winner! Don't know how this compares to the original Creed MI, but for me this stands on it's own. It's fresh without being a citrus bomb but elegant and well blended. I get 10+ hours on skin and clothes. Inexpensive and WAY out-performs colognes I've paid $100+ for. One of the best blind buys I've ever purchased. Same goes for it's silver cousin Armaf's CDN Sillage.

This frag smells AMAZING 97.7 Creed MI once it settles in just past the opening. My real question is… WHY DOES FRAGRANTICA’s page constantly reload itself. Drives me crazy!!! Especially after I’ve been reading reviews for 20-30 minutes then … puffff the page reloads and takes me ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE TOP OF THE PAGE. WHY,.. I SAY WHY 🤷🏼♂️!!!!!!! 😖 FIX THIS

On my skin, the opening is very faint (maybe I’m partially nose blind to the “sea notes”?), soft but pleasing. Whatever red fruits they were trying to replicate, it’s a miss for me, neither realistic nor natural. Adds unnecessary harshness.

After warming up, this becomes a violet beast. I really would have liked the woody notes to be more present to balance it a little. The vetiver in the base helps preventing the musk/ambroxan combo from turning the smell into an extra soapy concoction, maintaining a little greenness feeling throughout.

For the price, it’s great. Very floral without too much sweetness. I would consider this a feminine leaning fragrance without being a “woman’s perfume”, so great for men who appreciate softer scents.
But definitely, must love violets!

(And if you do love violets and want a realistic, very fresh, green violet scent, try Biruti Tindrer)

I love this frag. Reminds me of Sean Jean Unforgivable. Milestone has Beast performance, it just keeps pushing and pushing for hours. The value of money here is unbelievable.
Milestone is fresh, classy with marine notes. Very versatile IMO for any occasion.
People, stop expecting a 1 to 1 comparison with Creed Millesime Imperial because it is not Creed Millesime Imperial. It is a replica at a fraction of the cost. It is an amazing replica at that. The quality is there, the performance is there. Anyone who gets a replica and expects an exact copy of the original, should be arrested.
Overall Armaf Milestone did a very good job. The Club De Nuit range is fantastic.

Beast Mode!!! I go with around 10 sprays on skin and clothes and it lasts and projects like a beast - especially outdoors! I've worn it a few times in the dead of summer here in Israel and it shines! It is scorching hot and extremely humid here in summertime - and it seems like the heat really brings out the best in this one! Smells like a very dense and musky fruit cocktail.

Salty, Marine, Upper class. This is what I think of when smelling this. It reminds me of old money people hanging out on a yacht for some reason. Probably because of the salty and marine notes that dominate it.

I'd say it's 90-95% Millesime Imperial, just less put together and more synthetic. But c'mon it's a tenth of the price.

Longevity: 4-6 hours
Projection: an arms length

Overall if you dig the salty aquatic "I'm on a yacht" vibes. This is definitely for you.

It stays on my skin for about 3 hours if is not too warm outside. Weak projection too.

An ok clone of Millesime Imperial.
Minus the floral elegance plus the melon note.
It reminds me of Zara 8.0.

Not bad but not the OG.
Performances are ok.

If you bought it and it smells like celery water, let out a couple sprays and let it sit. It will smell like millesime imperial in like 2-3 weeks. Once that rancid smell goes away, it is the best version of this DNA since it smells great and lasts a lot longer than the real thing. Idk what aramf got going on with making this fragrance.

Anyways, 9/10 once you air it out and let it sit.

Just came in the mail today. This needs a bit of time before I love. My untrained nose (I like it that way) smells grass and earth. Like you smelled a divot on the green before replacing it. Seems linear which is good for me. Not overdone powder and sweetness. IMO this would be somewhat risky for a blind buy.

Absolutely horrible. Bought it blind with sillage as my first clones. Smells like a wet cardboard. I'll try it again in a month, but probably goes to the bin.

For the price point and for the comparison with MI, this clone is an absolute steal. Now, I have never had MI and this perfume was also a blind buy out of curiosity.

To start, I like this perfume, it has a lovely, salty yet fruity vibes to it. Perhaps mine needs to macerate a bit, because I cannot pick up the melon in this, it rather smells like mixed fruits with a salty punch. Not bad by any means, but a small disappointment on my part. The opening has a harsh metallic note that I'm not a fan of, which lasts around ten to fifteen minutes before the salty fruits makes an appearance. Although, the metallic scent is only noticeable close to the nose, otherwise it smells gorgeous.

I would say it's a perfect perfume for warmer weather. You could possibly cheat and use it in spring and fall as well, but summer is when it will shine the most. Performance-wise, this is a good one. I get everything from between 7-8 hours on skin, with a moderate projection throughout. Perhaps a skin scent after the 5 hour mark, but this is still fine. If you want to up the performance into beastmode, I'd suggest spraying it on clothes. Goodness gracious, it lasts for DAYS, easily 24 hours. This fucking perfume even survived a machine wash and still lingered on the clothes! Would recommend a sample test of this, however, if you're not into salty fragrances.
8/10

A great cheap spring / summer fragrance. It's in my opinion leaning more towards male, rather than unisex. When you first spray this on, it smells weird to me. It kinda gives me liquorish-like vibes, that I ain't sure I like. For me, this was a blind buy and for the price I do not regret it. It has a synthetic smell in the beginning, that fades away within an hour. You're left with a fresh sweet nutty-ish scent, that I do really enjoy. If you can get through the first hour, it's definitely worth checking out. I'd say it's difficult to recommend blind buying this as neither my mum or sister enjoyed this too much. Overall though a good summer scent.

高級香水のクローンとしてよく紹介されています。パウダリーでムスキーなところに若干海を感じるところがあり、そこが苦手でした。暑い季節に使用すると気持ち悪くなってしまったことが何度かあります。アルマフのクローンと呼ばれているシリーズは暑い季節には向いていないと思います。暑さによる香りの劣化が結構顕著に出ていました。
5.5/10

I’ve owned this for about a year and a half and this to me is one of the best Armaf clones yet. The smell is amazing, one to one with Millesime Imperial and without any synthetic nuances. In the heat this shines the most and leaves a great scent trail the hotter it is. Leaving a review because I’ve noticed every time I’ve worn this on a hot day, at least one person compliments me or asks what I’m wearing. Add to the affordable price and this is a banger, 9/10

Smells very elegant and upclass, thats the first thing I notice.
I didnt like the opening at first so I kept it macerating just over a month and now I think this is much more pleasant. I do not get the melon evidently as people say but I get the sea breezy airy salty accords and the floral notes most of all - just a tad more floral feminine leaning; but it works beautifully together and I think it can be classified as unisex. Although there is some metallic note that I am not very fond of and can be a little piercing; that is only if you smell it upclose.
Performance is quite good, lasts about 6-7 hours on my skin and 24+ hours on clothes as I can still smell it on clothes the next day if I stick my nose to it; the projection is moderate and slightly above average for about 1.5-2 hours but fades gradually during this time, probably one of the softer projecting CDN for sure, so cannot really say its beast mode but very good for a freshie nonetheless. Bottle is shiny and heavy with a great feel, screams quality; atomizer is decent too.
Overall one of my better buys this year and probably one of my favourites, If you can get this at a decent price (around €30-35) then I feel you should grab it immediately!

Either I need to macerate, or this scent just isn’t for me. It has a rustic smell and the saltiness is very off putting. I did just get it and have worn it twice, I’ll let it sit for a while and try it again. Hopefully it will become something I can actually wear because right now it’s a no from me.

its a nice scent, unfortunately, it doesn't last long at all and really suffers from a weak projection

Armaf is very scary today they are trying to kill those expensive perfume.

To me this somehow smells like a summer version of GIT. Having tried Sillage, now I notice Milestone has a similar metallic opening, but nothing offensive.

Excellent fragrance for the summer, worth the blind buy.

Very high quality for the price, I think this is one of the highest quality frags I have tried from Armaf. I was really surprised to learn Creed's Millesime Imperial launched all the way back in 1995, I think Milestone (a clone of the aforementioned Creed) smells modern and surprisingly unique by comparison. It bears little resemblance to Aqua Di Gio and other aquatics from the 90s, with prominent salt and rindy melon against a mellow backdrop of smooth driftwood and clean amber. It's not sweet to my nose, and it is perfectly unisex imo.

Where I live, it's been excruciatingly hot and humid for about a week and I'm not kidding when I say this frag excels in the oppressive temps. The salt and fruit paradoxically become lighter and breezier as the temperature rises; there is a beachy vibe, but no beach actually smells like this you know?

Despite my personal enjoyment, I would warn against blind buying this one if possible. The saltiness may be a divisive element, and it came off somewhat metallic for the first week or so after opening the bottle. This mellowed with time imo.

Additionally, the saltiness in combination with the melon note (prolly calone) may be off-putting to some noses. To my partner, this frag is not good and she describes it as the way antiperspirant smells on day old clothing.

Wasn’t too big a fan the first time I tried, but gave it another chance and really enjoyed it. After the second try of it, the fruitiness became more apparent and made me fall in love with it. Very much worth the price

Linear watery sunscreen scent but its actually very enjoyable and perfect for beach and summer wear

This is more powdery and floral than MI making it more feminine. Yes MI is absurdly overpriced and doesn't last long, but the quality of Milestone is really bad tbh, almost like a air freshener version of MI.

Do not blind buy like I did.

2/10

Salty goodness in a bottle. Lots of compliments

This is damn good it smells like a salted watermelon and it last and projects in my skin for hours I can say it’s beast mode for sure. For the price of this it’s really worth a try probably one of the best Armaf fragrance I’ve smelt and thats saying a lot considering they have a bunch of bangers!

Just got this-Kind of wish I didn't. Also, Im about to make Ed Hardy rich, AGAIN!
As soon as I sprayed this on I was taken back years in times past and had to think long and hard about where I knew this exact fragrance?
I said, let me look at the list of what it reminds people of, and there it was-Boom 💥:
ED HARDY LOVE AND LUCK
It's listed as that but not mentioned in all of these comments, probably because people haven't worn that in a decade and a half. This is 90% Ed Hardy which is half the price of milestone. I think performance on both is garbage 🗑️ so it's a toss up. Wish I didnt buy and bought something else instead tbh.
That's that, no cap 🧢 as the Youts Say.

4/2024 Update:
I luvvvv dissss potion for real, gang.
I changed my tune a bit. Its a great performer and get compliments. Solid Scent, and even ya moms does concur.

Melon and musk freshie. I’ve worn side by side vs Creed Millesime and I like this better. It’s stronger, lasts longer, and I get compliments every time I wear it. Terrific affordable blind buy.

This one has "macerated" in-bottle since last I used it, back in the winter, and I had noticed even then that something had changed here. It's fascinating to smell this sort of thing in a non-Creed. Unlike Creed, which starts weak and grows more defined and stronger with age during maceration, Armaf's scent has gone from headache-inducingly strong, to mild and transparent. It also smells waaay more like Millesime Imperial now than it did back then. It was closer to a GIT/Chez Bond scent when I first bought it. Now I get salty watermelon with a sea-breeze accord of salinated marine effects, all very nuanced, with quite a nice little citrus on top and salty musk drydown. Not exactly the tangy ambergris of Creed, but god it's so close! Very nice development on Milestone. Looking forward to reviewing Sillage next week.

Smells close as creed MI. More on feminine side on me. Cant go wrong with the price of 35€ compared to 300€ of MI. Not too much compliment but i love it somuch, it is like a happy perfume to me. Can be used as a summer/fall perfume because of the the flowery summer vibe. Longevity is 6-8 hours after that just on the skin.

Rate: 8.5/10

A fragrance built around an unrefined metallic musk base, epitomizing, you get what you pay for!
Unforgivingly sharp and synthetic. However it is good for the price one pays.

Never smelled Millesime Imperial… but I did have Unforgiveable. Smells the same. I liked Sean John but performance was abysmal. I think this will be great this summer in the Great State of Texas!!! For $35 100 ML you could do worse.

Top notes have a Bleu de Chanel vibe but die out under a minute, leaving a metallic grassy musk on skin. Don't be confused with bloody iron notes, as that is not present.

In its core, a waft of mussels freshly caught from the ocean, probably imposed by salty vetiver mixed with woods and musk. It's only at the base where the amber emerges to salvage an odd experience, imbuing subtle floral, leathery notes which balance out the saltiness. Somehow reminds me of curiously traversing on the low-tide coral rocks - without reeking of the heavy ocean stink.

The realism of sea spray perplexed me initially, given my comfort zone with synthetic aqua notes. However, I do appreciate its charm given how the metallic notes complement the qualities of a mineral-rich ocean, and how the notes transform overtime. If you love engaging your olfactory while exploring the beach, you will appreciate this one.

Smells good but it's something so common. It looks like I've smelled this one milion times. I wouldn't buy this for 60 euros. People must be crazy to pay 300 bucks for a creed millesime imperial.

smells really good but lasts maximum 2 hours on my skin and projects 30 mins
so not worth the money, even if its cheap

My wife love it soo much

Better performance than Creed Millesime imperial, and the same fragrance.

I think I got a quality batch because it’s almost 1:1 to the inspiration DNA. Not as smooth as Creed but such a high quality blend considering the price. Totally awesome sweet, aquatic scent.

I for it today and honestly i dont find it similar to creed .. its closer to 212

I reviewed this a while ago, over the months I have matured in my interpretation of this perfume. It’s a really good copy 90-92% similar. Somewhat harsh on the initial spray but quickly relaxes to the a nearly spot on copy millesime imperial. They however convey slightly different feelings in my opinion. Milestone is less refined and dare i say harsh. It’s distinctly Fruity-musky-salty/aquatic. Whereas Millesime imperial due to the iris (which is omitted from milestone) is a superior blend of fruit- musk and aquatic notes. The iris alone adds a smoothness and opulence to the fragrance but also masks the different types of notes into one cohesive product. Overall millesime is on top but to the untrained nose it’s not nearly a big enough deal to fork out the extra cash. This has great longevity up to nearly 8-9 hours on skin so I’d pick it up just because of how similar it is and it’s power.

A very synthetic and harsh copy of MI. A bit more floral too. After a while I had the need to rub it off my wrist.

Got it, sprayed my sample of Milliseme Imperial (MI) on one wrist, and Milestone on the other. They are very close. I think Milestone might have a little more leather and MI is slightly smoother.

Overall it smells really good. I will buy another bottle for sure. It has better performance.

This is the most perfect fragrance I have ever smelt! I bought this for my 23rd birthday in May. I wore it to a concert ( I received compliments on how good I smelt )
It embodies sexy rich person eating dinner on a beach . You get a metallic note first but then I get fruit and warmth from the other notes. I actually love all of these notes. I need to start wearing it more although I just got it 😂 this fragrance now has a scent memory so I find it a little hard wearing it to other places.
ALSO I GOT THIS FROM A FRAGRANCE SHOP IN THE MALL SO I PAID THREE TIMES THE AMOUNT THAT IS ON AMAZON 😭😭😭😭this smells so good I didn’t even question the price

10/10 hands down my fav juice rn i love love love it

About probably 10 years ago i was looking for a summer fragrance and i went to check out creed mi, i told myself i can never pay that amount of money on a 50ml fragrance that wouldn't last on my skin, That's just alot of money, i ended up buying cool water on discount, you hate on clones all you want while staring at your insanely expensive niche collection shelf i used to be that guy not anymore, let creed have greed and i won't feel sorry if they get cloned, if the fragrance Don't last why does it have to be over priced ? Don't say quality when Armaf made it even better for so cheap i consider it free comparing to Creed the greed, And i hope that's a warning for James Heeley too i hope you get duped, and Armaf milestone does better on a very hot summer than the original it's just beautiful fruity fresh welcoming you name it, as a summer fragrance this is just perfect, As niche pricings goes I'm just sick and tired of it

I tested it on a strip and the opening was pleasant. But after 5 mins or so, the scent significantly weakened on the strip. I don't know if it's a paper problem but when I smell very closely then there's some of that marine musk.

Was really hoping this would be a longer lasting alternative to MI. This turned extremely rancid on my skin into a nasty B.O. scent. Not sure what it is in there giving it that scent but its a HARD pass for me.

I am detecting similarities in opening with creed MI(older salty batches)but compare to creed this one is much more harsher and chemical.
There are some similarities but where MI goes in very smooth and natural direction in the middle phase(probably by the iris)Milestone goes in another harsh(violet) which gives the fragrance that femine unnaturaly vibe.
Drydown is not the same because MI have nice rich depth while Milestone goes in ambrox synthetic direction,which gives it much more longevity compare to creed.
These too are not the same(maybe in opening)and MI has that luxoryius touch where Milestone fall out.
If you have money and can afford,buy MI.

These Armaf are so bad. I have both club de nuit and Milestone. They are not worth the money I have paid.

Hint of Watermelon

I really like ARMAF and I'm a big fan of CDN Intense Man Limited Edition but this one is simply horrible! To my nose it just smells like heavy mustard oil + melon, mixed with a lot of alcohol. Batch # 309008, Made in UAE.

When I first got this, I absolutely hated it. However, I let it sit like a few people suggested and it turned into something else. It's a very soft yet long lasting fresh fragrance, a fragrance for the days when you don't feel like wearing a fragrance. It's unique, slightly sweet and pleasant.
Edit: Love this now!!! So refreshing

Sat on the beach, the sun is high and the waves are softly breaking, eating slices of cantaloupe melon.... the juice is dripping down your hands onto your chest and mixing with your naturally healthy clean body scent...

One of my favorite fresh fragrances.

My only issue; In certain temperatures, at a certain distance, if someone gets a whiff of the saltwater and musk combo it might give the hint of you being musty.

I make sure I wear it in high heat, it opens up the fragrance and people are less likely to experience that musty vibe.

Almost 1:1 to Creed Millesime Imperial. Superb scent for 35€ and lasts a long time.

At first I thought this was masc appealing fragrance.
It has some of my favorite notes! It is fresh and fruity without being that generic designer perfume smell. I love layering all of my fragrance so women, layer this with Sparking Sugar by Clean Reserve.

Bright, fresh, salty with a touch of fruits and a little bit floral. That's how I would describe this. Wonderful for those hot days and goes well with elegant summer day events. I would love this way more if it weren't that salty but it's the salt it's very present for me. Maybe a little bit more of fruits? Idk, I still love it but I'm not in love with this. For my personal experience I do not recommend a blind buy on this, I would have thought twice if I knew it was so salty.

Solid 7.5/10 for me.

Bana kokusu Çamaşır suyu gibi geliyor nedense.

I live in a country where the temperature right now is so high that you can fry an egg on the sidewalk. Seriously, it's hotter than hell here. Most fragrances can't handle the heat and end up smelling like a dumpster fire, but not Club de Nuit Milestone. This is the only fragrance that keeps me cool and fresh recently in this inferno. Club de Nuit Milestone is an imitation of the famous Millésime Impérial, but it's way better, it smells like a slice of heaven in a bottle. It has sweet and salty melon notes that make me feel like I'm on a tropical island, sipping a cocktail and enjoying the sea breeze. It has a smooth and elegant vibe that makes me feel like I'm wearing a suit and tie, even when I'm in shorts and t-shirts. It has a long-lasting and powerful projection that makes me stand out from the crowd with just two sprays, even when I'm sweating like a pig. Club de Nuit Milestone is the reason why I get compliments from strangers, smiles from ladies, and respect from men. It's the reason why I feel confident, happy, and awesome. And the best thing is, Club de Nuit Milestone is dirt cheap compared to the original Creed. You can get a full bottle for the price of two pizzas, so eat less and smell good! That's a steal to me, I don't even bother with the overpriced and mediocre Millésime Impérial Creed.

I had a decant of the 2018 batch of Creed's Milesime Imperial and i can say this is almost identical, its just lacking the salty bitterness Creed had but i think this version is even better. Of course as all Armafs go this is longer lasting and projects more. I smelled the latest Milesime and it was way more sweet.
10/10

To my rookie nose this smells floral and aquatic. I think it’s more feminine, I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about that or voted more female in gender. I do get the metallic note people talk about in the opening when I sniff real close but it’s not that bad. And this is day 1, I’ll give updates as time goes hopefully in a month or so I’ll like it more. Even if it does smell the same I wouldn’t say it smells bad. It’s pleasant just a bit too feminine for me. Reminds me of a woman’s shampoo. I agree with @otteromkram this smells like my moms tresemme shampoo I would use as a kid. Kind of a nice nostalgic feeling tho :’)

Foggy Ocean


On its own
Oceanic, Good projection, Very affordable, Long lasting, unisex

Comparisons with Creed MI
The fact that Creed productions are overpriced is undeniable; however, they use quality ingredients, and you could totally perceive it if you are even mildly allergic to low-quality synthetic ingredients.
That aside, there is a decadent strain in classic creeds that cannot easily be replicated.
Armaf has successfully captured the vibe, but its a very thick and opaque vibe of ocean, and it cannot vie in quality.

All the above said, I’m a happy owner of this perfume, still a total win, price wise as well as quality wise

Summer beast
Blind buy yes.
Perfect for summer

@RedBerrySorbet give if a few sprays and let it macerate for a while Bro. I had the same experience with the noticeable chemical funk on the 1st few sprays but this is present in all my Armaf frags (except CDNIM LE). I just let them sit for a month before I really use them and now my CDN milestone smells like lovely salted watermelon and quite enjoy it. Hope yours goes well.

Fruity and fresh summer fragrance with a sea breeze in the background. Very noticeable and enjoyable by everyone.
Great for hot summer days.

Keyifli bir parfüm ama Creed MI e altta yazılanlar gibi %90 benzemiyor. Creed bunun yanında tabiki daha kaliteli kalıyor.. Creed meyvemsi havası ile ilerliyor.. Milestone ise açılışta fazla baharatlı kalıyor. Notalar arasında yazılmamış.olsa da açılışta karabiber var ve biraz fazla kaçmış. Açılış sonrasında (yarım saat) biraz daha Creed e yaklaşıyor. Cok güçlü değil olması gerektiği kadar. Zaten açılışta ki karabiber havası sıcak havalarda biraz rahatsız edebileceği çok güçlü olmaması iyi olmuş. Sonuçta bu bir bahar-yaz parfümü havasında. Fiyati ve performansı ile tabiki dikkat veriyor.

Smells about 90% similar to Creed MI, and in the air nealry impossible to tell apart, plus performs better for me. Also for about the same price for 1 bottle of a reformulated Creed MI you could have over 10 bottles of Milestone I would have to honestly say anyone would be out of their mind to still go with Creed, just my opinion though. Ifyou have money to burn then knock yourself out.

I might be missing something here, but it smells like some sort of 90s shampoo (eg - VO5, TRESemmé) or a hair salon. Just, very 90s.

If that's your thing, more power to you. I'd say this frag accomplishes whatever it set out to do.

I don't necessarily see this as a men's scent. That's just me.

For reference, I'm not a huge SMW/Armaf Sillage fan, either. That smells like a hair salon to me.

I also don't really like Virgin Island Water.

Has a weird metallic note in the opening that’s a little off-putting but smells great in the air. That metallic note fades as it dries and you’re left with a very fresh and salty aquatic with woods and a touch of fruitiness. The fruity notes eventually fade and you’re left with a nice musky/woody oceanic skin scent. Unfortunately this doesn’t project much off my skin after a couple hours. Hovers close to the skin after an hour or so. Still smells great if anyone gets close enough though. Overall a great daytime summer scent for the price. Projection and longevity could be better, but at the current price you can just use a few extra sprays.

Excellent aquatic, ozonic notes similar to that of Creed's perfumes. This one is a bit sweeter than Silver Mountain Water and it performs well.

I bought this and Sillage together.

Sillage is good, but this...this is 100x better, I fucking LOVE the way this fragrance smells, I can't stop sniffing my arm.

10/10 would buy 100 bottles more.

On me it is salty and fruity, smells like fruity salty water if it makes any sense.

This is GORGEOUS.

I smells very similar to creed millesime imperial, with some unnoticable differences, except for this rusty, dirty opening note, which is very synthetic and strong. better performance than creeds at a 10th of the price. quite good!

Great, great stuff!!! So far it's the very best of the line for me. I'm not very big on freshies, but this and YSL's Y Eau Fraiche are definitely my two favorite fresh fragrances. Hopefully this one won't be discontinued anytime soon. Fresh, marine but not aquatic, fruity, salty and slightly floral, it's a banger for warm weather. Great longevity and sillage for something so fresh. Definitely a must try!!!!! 8.5 out of 10 for me and I have many designer and niche fragrances, and clone brand or not, this stuff slaps!👏

Really lovely fragrance. Is it just me or does the dry down have resemblance to Dior Fahrenheit

THIS ONE IS Millésime Impérial In a bottle, with way better performance, sillage and price. this one only cost $28 in my country. I have Millésime Impérial batch 2018 and Milestone Batch 2022 I already test both side by side and they smell identical and i also find that milestone perform better on my skin. The different i can spot on is only in the initial spray until the next 1 minutes, the milestone smell more synthetic and bit more metallic. after that me and my girlfriend can’t tell the difference between both fragrance.

If you've ever grown up in a farm, it smells like old cow dung. Sounds bad if you're unfamiliar with it but it smells salty, fresh, and powdery. That is 100% what this perfume reminds me of. Now add a cool rice paddy breeze scent to it and that's Milestone for me. I havent smelled the Creed that it copies but if this is it then I want the Creed too.

This smells very clean, fresh, and uplifting. It projects very well and is a beast in the high heat. It has this very soft and airy feel to it. This is surprisingly a compliment magnet too. They'll often say that it smells clean and powdery.

I 100% recommend this to anyone who grew up on or around farms as it triggers childhood memories of playing on a breezy grassy plain. I use this as my daily scent and is my current favorite.

First cologne I've thrown out this stuff is just nasty to my nose.. I get a dirty mushroom smell that gets stronger until the late drydown but even the good notes weren't my cup of tea..gave it 3 tries but can't stomach it.

Very nice marine, salty and watermelon scent. Only lasts 6 hours on me though.

Let me start off by saying I'm sorry to the people who love this fragrance, but in cold weather this has a very offensive urine-like note, totally unbearable during the winter. I still have not yet tried it in warmer weather, will update my review in due time.

HARD PASS! Cheap smell. Not worthy of any money. At the beginning is smelled horrible, after maceration is smelled very different and a lot better. End result: still BAD!
I don't know about MI but this one is horrible!
CDN Sillage is much much better compared to this, although I try avoiding clothes because after a while the smell of that one start smelling off.

I wanted to like this fragrance, but the fresh-aquatic notes did not work well for me. It's rather non-descript too. This is a rather light scent and I believe it would work better as a spring/ summer fragrance.

Just recieved mine. I can say that its very wearable. Soft, airy, clean.. It screams hot weather. Moderate sillage and longevity, it becomes skin scent after maybe 2-3 hours. Dont get me wrong, I like it very much but sometimes (when my nose is very close to the hand) it somehow remainds me of fresh shampignon mushroom?! You know, those packages you buy in the store. :) Maybe it needs to rest a little bit idk. If anyone has same expirience like me please reply to me. Anyways its a 8/10

EDIT: The mushroom smell is gone after the fragrance was open for few days.

Never fell in love with a perfume like I fell for this one.
Wow wow wow, Armaf outdid themselves with this one.
so smooth, so fresh, very fruity. Smells like a Super juicy fresh salty melon 🍈 with sea breez. A summer hit for sure.

I don’t get any leather, harshness, chemical smells like some reviewers do.
A 9.5/10 perfume for me. Thank you Armaf for this gorgeous masterpiece.
Only problem is that I don’t seem to find it long lasting.

This has a strong chemical smell right off but fades away after a bit. But once it fades, it’s almost an exact copy of Millisime.

It stayed on my skin for nearly 12 hours. It stays on clothing pretty much forever.

This is a very unisex fragrance. At first I didn’t like it bc it smelled a little too feminine but then it dried down and became almost like someone’s natural scent. Very soft fragrance, but also pronounced.

For the price, there’s absolutely no doubt about this.
