I've worn Milestone in warmer weather for over a year now. Love it.
Currently wearing milestone and I love it. Smells amazing and performs great! I definitely recommend milestone for anyone that’s thinking of blind buying.
Are the notes manish or womanish?
@@brendawangeshi4787 notes like mountainish
Is it good for summer?
@@carlito7863 Spring/summer
How long does it last and is the projection well?
I own a couple barber shops and today I decided to wear milestone and I was really surprised on how many clients really enjoyed this scent . They Literally bought milestone in font me though Amazon and eBay .
No man you gotta start Gatekeeping wtf is that
@@theaveragemegaguy lmao
casual flex "i own a couple barber shops"
Anyone that would pay $400 plus for a Creed fragrance is nuts. They are all reformulated and much weaker than originals. A good clone at a much more attractive price is the way to go.
What do you mean by originals?
@@Saber23 first formulation
I hope they feel the Heat from Armaf and lose market share from it
@@mastodon5220 you couldn't afford Creed lmao
@@mastodon5220 Very funny hahahahahaha
Just a heads up if you buy Milestone - when you open the box and spray it the first time, it will smell gross. Spray it like 4-5 times (ideally outside LOL) and then let it sit with the cap off on a shelf for like 5-7 days. No idea why but it smell rank when you first open it, I think the plastic in the sprayer or nozzle leeches into the juice.
Mine never got any better lol
Smelled like rotten nectarines at first. I was wondering how people could like it at all XD. Smells much better 6 sprays later though.
Yes you are so right……just happened to me just now lol
Mine smells like straight vetiver
I read it smelled like radishes. Gonna find out in a few days... If it's bad, I'm done with the Arabic clone brands.
This was my most worn, on the hottest days this summer. A dumb reach/freshie. Funny thing, I didn’t like it upon 1st sniff. Now I love it
Same
Lol same as me. I think it changed after the few months of sitting. I went from literally gonna toss this one to really liking it.
I owned and used a 4oz of MI and this clone smells exactly like MI but better in projection and longevity. $42 can't be beat! If you liked MI but didn't want to spend hundreds; pick this one up instead. Great blind buy for me
I have this fragrance and its very impressive. Only just started purchasing some clones as its a solid way to keep the premium stuff for special occasions. You don't feel guilty splashing this on. Milestone and 9pm are super fragrances imo
I’ve tried for over six months now to let this grow on me on and off and it’s something about it feels so feminine to me. Maybe it’s the bottle it’s in or something smells so damn girly to me lol
It took a bit to figure out what this scent was for. I wore the hell out of this during the summer days. A really fresh, clean, watery, fruity scent. great for the outdoors.
My bottle smelled like a cleaner. I see people mentioning to get air in the bottle. It sat for quite some time and never got any better. Guy I gifted it to thought it unbearable as well. Found a 2017 4 oz bottle of MI that performs OK. Recommend Alexandria's Citron del Mar. It's sweeter then MI but it performs beautifully. It kind of takes a snapshot of the top note of MI and stays that way for the life of the wear. Which I would think would appeal to a lot of people. I must mention that I thought Club de Nuit Sillage very good and I ended up selling my SMW after getting it.
I like your honest opinion. You got another sub man. Respect!!
I love Armafs…own 13 of them! Thanks for featuring this, Dallas. Hope to see more. My favorite Armafs are Ventana and Tres Nuit.
is the batch 2021 of milestone still good and same performance?
👀
List them
What's your favorite one?
Picked this up yesterday, it was love a first sight. Kind of reminds me of Mugler's Pure Havane (before reformulation) in terms of how addictive the scent itself is. I found myself hanging out in my kitchen since I sprayed it there and could smell it in the air for hours. A+
Surprised at how good this is after about 3 minutes on skin. I’ve been on a fragrance hunt this month and this one really does stand out and if I didn’t know it was a clone I would think this is a versatile luxury compliment pull. My favorite Armaf clone so far
I’d definitely like to sample Milestone and Sillage to see if they suit my tastes (they most likely will). I’ve sampled a couple of Creeds so far, and for their price tags, I’m not impressed at all. The niche fragrance game has moved on and gotten better, and Creed is just holding onto their brand name. I also don’t like the fact that perfumers whom Creed hires to work on their fragrances have to sign nondisclosure agreements, and Creed family members take all the credit for the work.
Did you purchase both? Tell us the review? Are the notes manish or womanish?
It smells amazing. It doesn't last long.
Completely agree. I have a 15' batch and Milestone is a very close interpretation. However, not as close to my 21' batch. Good catch.
I’m a woman and I absolutely ❤ wearing Milestone!
It really hangs in the air.. I went out came back after 1hr and can still pick it up in my room
I have to disagree with most reviewer opinions on club de nuit intense man's opening smelling harsh. I rather enjoy it's power. It's not harsh to me at all. TBH I kind of like it better than Creed Aventus.
I have the EDP, not the EDT. But agree.
@armyofninjas9055
I, too, have the EDP. I have smelled EDT, and neither smell harsh
I think Armaf fixed the harsh opening of CDNIM when they made the EDP version. It’s the best version IMO. And I’m referring to the regular EDP, not the limited edition parfum. I own both and the regular EDP performs better. I still own a bottle with the silver atomizer. I rank that version second just because it has beast mode performance.
Best and closest smelling to Aventus version is CDNIM Limited Edition Parfum
I love CDNIM EDT off the smokiness has the EDP, and the limited edition also a Smokey vibe?
@@jameslindop9244
What about the smokiness?
@Sanpaito Sandman There is some smokiness. They just don’t have the heavy lemon opening that some people say is harsh. I don’t mind it though in the EDT. The regular EDP and the limited edition EDP smell the same to my nose. It’s just that the regular EDP has way better performance on my skin than the limited edition. They’re both edp concentration, which is strange.
@@mastodon5220 I own multiple aventus batches, CDNIM Li Parfum is 5-10 times better than current aventus batches which cost 5-6 times the price why would you? Old aventus batches cost around £500 for 100ml of a good performing 2015 batch, it’s been diluted and slightly reformulated and is terrible now. And trust me I love aventus, but I will always reach for CDNIM way more
I do find it very similar to my 2014 batch of MI that I sold a couple of years ago. I also own Rush Of Unicorns by PV which I love although I’d call that more an inspirational clone. ROU is brighter and saltier whereas I find Milestone a lot fruitier and denser. Since I’ve had Milestone I reach for it more often than ROU but I think that’s because it’s cheaper and easier to get in Australia. Both Milestone and Sillage are great value clones though, my 2016 SMW also very similar to Sillage. Milestone and Sillage are the only 2 Armarf that I own btw so buy with confidence 👍
Just spray milestone and imperial on a piece of paper and see how they compare. Milestone beats it in every way. Just try it and see for yourself.
For reference I get almost no performance out of cdnim at all. Nor do I get much long lasting performance out of a 2013 creed aventus.
But milestone lasts on paper for days. Literally. And smells exactly like MI through its life.
I also enjoy layering milestone with Tuscan leather/la yaquwam. Figure it out on your own. You do you.
I'm in love with ombre leather parfum... I love it better then tuscan leather... I use ombre leather on a few other fragrance and it definitely makes it smell better. Try Layton PDM with tuscan leather together and wait for the compliments to come in. Layton is amazing... but with ombre leather it's SEX!!! Lol 🤣
Yep Milestone scent last so much longer too though imperial is pretty good❤❤❤
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it because I like the original and have a blessed day
Yeah mate definitely no evey1 me included hasn’t got 200 300 for a fragrance milestone is great I really like it
Such a good fragrance !! Keep up the great vids 💯
Appreciate it!
I've just got this and I can't make up my mind if I like it or not, when I first apply it, there is a smell I can't describe but it's really strong and quite harsh if I'm honest, but once it's been on my skin for a while it died down mellow out and gets better,my batch has a 2021 batch date on it, the smell definitely gets better the longer it's on my skin
All of these smell like shitty cleaners. They don't get better, that's just people who can't afford Creed lying to themselves. I bought all 3 thinking that I could save that $1000+ a year on my 3 bottles of Creed. Lmfao. These are Dollar Tree Colognes. Absolutely terrible. They smell like complete shit.
Smells like paint thinner
You are a boss bro! Gotta do a tutorial about wearing fragrances in the age of facemasks! How much to wear, where to spray etc..
The ladies love GIT I was at a basketball game I had a decant I had from Christmas I put two sprays on they kept coming up to me talking to me
I was waiting for you to say it YES!!! it smell like the better batches of millisime imperial. Thank you being honest. And yes milestone does last longer 💯💯💯
Yeah Creed uses all natural ingredients but the hell with them. For 400+ dollars you can grab 10 to 12 bottles of clones and be happier with the performance.
And smell like you bathe in fucking Pine Sol. Get those bottles of stanky ass garbage, my guy. I'm sure the lot lizards at 7-eleven will melt all over you.
review on point and very informative...u cover everything basically...keep.up the good work
Best fragrance under $50 ..apart from cdnim
I'm from Dubai and I look forward to all your fresh reviews especially the heat related perfumes because it's 50c here and we need all the fresh and long lasting perfumes we can buy . I drive a Porsche panamera and have a high end lifestyle but I will never buy the overpriced creed's .your armaf reviews are great and honest
I was just looking at a hushpuppy documentary he had alot of hi end cologne
my favorite amarf fragrance . it's pretty good I think. I usually don't wear clones. good video 📹 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
I am buying one as birthday present for my friend at work. It’s 60 bucks at Chemist wearhouse in Oz.
Honestly, I can't make head or tails of Milestone. I'm going to wear the heck out of it, maybe it'll grow on me.
Love watching your videos bro stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
I just got a bottle for the first time wearing it now, fighting with my wife. Is it masculine and feminine
This is better than CDNIM
Another great video, I was actually looking for your review of this. I will definitely try to pick milestone and sillage since I hear great things about them and the price value sounds awesome, also to be honest creed is quite out of my wallet reach.
Something interesting would be to see a video where you recommend maybe fragrance for your mother/girlfriend/grandma/female family friend or something like that.
@@Bada_Boom78 isn't the edp better? I got explorer from Mont Blanc which is also a creed aventus inspired by.
@@Bada_Boom78 thanks for the info ,I have mb explorer only and I am greatly enjoying it and getting a good longevity so far, would be interesting to compare club de Nuit intense
Did you purchase both? Are the notes manish or womanish? How is the sillage and performance?
@@brendawangeshi4787I've got both, silage is quite masculine and milestone is quite a unique scent, because it's very niche scent profile, I wouldn't say it leans feminine or masculine, it's quite mesmerising . . . Its definitely not too sweet or floral if thats what your concerned about
I have both, and I can say I cannot tell the differences between the two.
Just ordered it. Thank you!
Just got this one and it smells great
They fixed the opening to CDMI edt. At least I feel they did, the opening is fine and not “cleaner” like
Bought it Last week and its still there, its a 2021 badge. But it only lasts like 5 minutes, therefore its irrelevant
This one smells super weird to me. My bottle is kinda messed up, gold is flaking off and I really cannot stand the scent profile right now. Gonna macerate it and see if that helps. Upon first impressions out of the box, it’s almost unbearably gross.
Have milestone and I love it, wish I could afford creeds.
Milestone is better than Millesime Imperial
Milestone is next on my list to get.
I wish more fragrance reviewers would talk about aloud Vuitton more. L’immensite is amazing
Thanks for the video. How does Milestone compare to PV’s Rush of Unicorns? Which do you find the better inspiration? Thanks 🙏
Milestone the closer of the 2 imo and I own both and owned MI 2014.
Imperial feels like you're the boss Milestone feels like you're the guy who signs the boss's check maybe the gold bottle plays on my head but I feel like I OWN the space
just got my bottle today and man this stuff is great!
I bought club de unit intense about 5 years ago & it smelled pretty synthetic…anyone know if is this the same?
Cool Dallas, one word.
PHENOMENAL
Im sorry to say this Dallas, i blind bought CDN Milestone after watching so many good reviews on TH-cam, but I cant wear this fragrance because the opening is so loud its nauseating. Funny in a review below, Bowhunter had the same issues. It is a nice watermelon scent, but it is vulgar and over the top as if they put too much ambroxan or ISo E Super. So its mega beast mode and the scent is linear. Forget about heart notes and dry down, it's top notes from start to finish and that bothers me a lot. Sorry i have to be honest and people please buy a 5 mL sample before buying a full bottle. Thanks for the review, im glad you enjoy it so much ;)
Philip I agree with everything you said. People that are reviewing milestone are saying it's a good fragrance. I'm glad they like it. Because I cannot stand this.
@@bowhunter1810 💯
Agree with you: blind bind also, and could not stand it. Super loud and smell synthetic in a very bad way to me. I gave it a chance a few time, but could never get over it. So bad that I finally threw the bottle away.
@@jeanjasinczuk7543 very feminine
Sorry to hear that, to each their own I guess. Millesime Imperial is a unisexual fragrance to begin with regarding the "feminine" comments, as I mentioned in the video for people to be aware of. I bought my bottle when it first came out so perhaps there's some sort of variation with it too, as mine is smooth right off the top.
best out of club de nuit line imho
Used my old millesime, bought the armaf on the 5 th min 😅
Great review thank you
How does this compare to Rush Of Unicorns (Extreme) from a smell perspective? Understand they are different price points
Is there a difference between the men's and the unisex? I've seen both for sale and just want to make sure to get the right one. Thanks
They are the same. It is sold as a unisex fragrance although I do think it leans more masculine.
I love aquatic scents I have 3 versions of ADG but this stuff is nasty. I have 4 CDN scents so I expect a rough opening but this has an earthy/mushroom smell that gets stronger for the first half hour. Probably not detectable in the sillage but up close is offensive.
The CDNIM EDP is the version with the opening fixed! Ur welcome 😤
My milestone has a harsh opener that stakes. And the middle and the drydown doesn't get much better. I don't know if I have a bad bottle or I just don't have a niche nose.
If you read my review i just posted, I totally agree with you. I got the same issues with mine, too bad, you don't have twice the occasion to make a good first impression ;)
Exact same impression for me. Given the rave reviews, I was also questioning if I got a bad bottle. Got it from a reputable fragrance discount site, for which I never had problem with any other fragrances I bought there. I also have CNDI, which is also a bit harsh on my skin, but has a good silage. I prefer Mont Blanc explorer by far though. I believe I might simply be not into Armaf fragrances.
I actually own both millestone and millesime imperial. Exact same thing happened to me. I do get the whole fruity scent similarity and the aquatic vibe but milestone is way too salty. And when I say salty I mean it. It never thought you can smell salt but I was wrong. It gives me a fragrance gone bad vibe.
@@DemetresKalogiratos yeah Milestone smelled like salty antifreeze to me. I started a return and sent it back the next day. I thought if Millesime Imperial smells like that. Keep it far away. But I have MI now and to me the smell is amazing. Imo it's far superior to Milestone.
Milestone is good and long lasting.
Any feedbacks on performance and projection ? I have heard everything, from monster to poor performance, vanishing after 30 mn to last 7 hours, totally lost
Just bought this for €25,- Let's give it a try!
Is it good?
@@larslaurens6249 I gave it to mu girlfriend, she loves it. Never smelled the Creed one, but it is too salty for the winter. Maybe I’ll dig it when it is summer. For now: Armaf CDNIM
@@RickBruinsma ah okay thanks!
What's better, this, or rush of unicorns by parfums vintage?
This 100%
The best clone for
channel allure sport ?
The best clone for ysl rive gauche
I need some tom ford clones 😂
*sigh*
Yo! bro please make a review to armaf tres de nuit....They said this was awesome. a clone of green irish tweed...Thank you so much!
Wait Soo they have this in rack stores??.. 🤔
Is it worth a blind buy?
Just got mine pretty smooth
Def worth a blind buy you won’t be disappointed it’s 🔥 6hrs + of longevity
Are Armaf paying you? I've has 3 Armaf fragrances and they have all been crap with leaking bottles.
u r unlucky buyer🤣🤣🤣
@@power279 I wouldn't say I'm unlucky you get what you pay for really. If I spend £30 on a cheap shit fragrance thats exactly what I get. My last blind buy was a very good one but obviously I'm not talking about Armaf. I learnt to stay away from them.
@@Bada_Boom78 I'm glad you were happy with yours, really what the person that's buying them thinks is usually all that matters. I just couldn't get on with them. I tried cdnim, luxe (the pegasus one) and milestone. I was unhappy with all of them in the end. Cdnim I was unhappy with instantly.
Can someone who has milestone and sillage help me out plz i noticed both frags have rose note listed not really a fan of roses..can u pickup on the rose in both the armafs??b
I can pick it up more in Sillage
Yo the armaf line has been getting my money lately idk works for me
I own both this one and the silver bottle one ,can’t think of the name . To me ,they kinda smell the same
I get what your saying, they have a certain sharpness to the scent, I think if you accidentally got it in your eyes, it would burn your eyes balls out of there sockets 😂 nevertheless they smell awesome
Is Milestone a woman’s fragrance or man’s?
Real sharp shooter bro 💯
Just ordered milestone. Let's see...
You probably already are positively suprised 😂
@@TeleDoc365 meh...
@@SkywalkerPaul what's your thoughts on it?
@@9vvsg it sux. Will never buy a clone again.
@@SkywalkerPaul how does it suck?
for summer?
Changed your mind after another year, didn't you?
I have them both, 2015 MI , I am sorry they are not that close
I was surprised George the apprentice didn't call this clone out for what it is. It's really awful. Maybe I got a bad bottle idk.
2015 MI... heard that is an amazing year. The 2010 I tried had crazy good longevity. Couldn't believe it at the time. The top notes had kind of faded from the decant I had but the salty/earthy ambergris gleamed off my skin for the better part of a day.
@@uncouthliyouth4486 you dont, Its not the same at all, peraps in the drydown a bit but overall its not close
The only Creed I would buy is Green Irish Tweed.
You should try tres nuit
Does anyone else get a burnt/rotten in this or is it just mine?
Can you suggest any fragrant like milestone? Smooth, soft, cheap, for men?
Sean Jean unforgivable but it doesn't last too long. It's cheap though. To me the unforgivable smells better at the moment. Just got milestone. Maybe I'll let it sit for a while. Cause I'm getting a harsh opening at the moment
I get nausea form this one. Any workarounds?
At first it also made me nauseous, but the second time I use it got used to the smell, and it is exquisite
pretty good stuff, milestone...
I love Armaf Hunter
Try hunter intense
Sorta smells like green Irish tweeed on drydown
What does Creed smell like
Milestone is the best CDNIM of all, sillage is not bad, intense is good, the Blue one is got yesterday (blue de chanel clone) is WEAK AF
CDN man is absolutely weak its gone in minutes absolutely a waste of money (i have the enhanced one)
CDN woman is good to (the black one)
Ur welcome
My CDN milestone really don’t smell like anything but dry alcohol? Is it just maceration? My product was made in 2020 but I just bought it (august 2022)…
Damn bro mines smell amazing
Mine smells a bit like oil and mot the good kind. But the dry down seems to he ok. Maybe I'll let it sit and see
I have milestone but the performance and projection isn’t the best on me, smells good though. Better off getting Armaf ventana(dior Sauvage), CDNIM(creed Aventus) or the Armaf sillage(silver mw creed)
Even the original is a light not super power scent
How many spray did you wear?
@@Nocturne246 my fragrances are usually strong so I usually go 3 sprays. I can smell it for the first 3 hours and then it’s gone. I’ll try more sprays
@@Bada_Boom78 projection and longevity is good and to my nose, I honestly can’t tell the difference in the dry down. More experienced people have said it’s about 90-95% similar to sauvage
@@boujeelikenobu6014 3 Sprays are nothing 🙄 obviously fresh ones Need more Sprays
So, I have a question. I know this video is kinda old and you may not see this comment, but it can’t hurt to try. First of all I wanna say I love your vids. They are my favorite over all other drag vids. So here’s my question: I’m just going by presentation, but whenever I see the bottle of armaf milestone I immediately think Paco rAbanne 1 million. I know for sure I do not want something up that alley. So I guess what I want to know is are there any similarities between milestone and 1 million. I’ve been completely over that frag for a while now and don’t want anything that resembles it. Thanks for your videos very much!
Its totally different bro, dont worry
you the Best !!!!! 👍🏼
It said that armaf for women
So is it true or a Unisex?
Unisex.
They said its unisex. But women said this is for fragrance for men.
SO, I have bought Armaf CDN Intense limited edition and it has a very strong musk order that turns my stomach. It never really goes away even after dry down. I couldn't stomach it. I much prefer Creed Aventus, even the new batches although to me it no longer smells, or feels like an expensive, quality fragrance. I also have Millesime Imperial, and Milestone, I just do not care much for the scent from either. I am just not a big fan of Creed, period. Now the day they make something that appeals to me, then maybe they will get more of my money but as for now I am done with Creed. There are much better quality options out there.
Love it as well as your channel tooo ❤️1 sub
Gucci envy for man clone please
I like this one, but it's a bit scratchy. I think it probably smells better in the air. Would you recommend Rush of Unicorns over this?
I really love the Milliseme Imperial scent profile, but the performance is far too gentle.
I have tried all the MI clones I can get my hands on because it's my favourite frag of all time, I would absolutely not go for Rush of Unicorns.
ROU is more of a 'in the spirit of' MI than a straight up clone. It's more reminiscent of the new crap watered down batches than it is of the older godly batches.
It is way more floral than MI, the opening is not MI at all, it's about 60% similar if I had to put a number on it.
As a standalone summer time fragrance, it's actually really nice. As a MI clone it is not.
I've also tried Dua's Imperial Pastique and Alexandria's Citron Del Mar. Armaf is by far the best in terms of copying old school MI. It's not perfect, but it's as close as you'll get.
I have been wondering this exact thing. What is the best between Citron Del Mar, ROU, or Milestone? I have a travel spray of MI. Smells great, but not great longevity. So I am looking for a clone that smells the most like old, great batches of MI. My Citron smells great...it is a bit sweeter smelling. Like someone said, it seems to be a snapshot of MI's opening and stays more that way. Rush starts out not as fruity, but seems to develop very close to the MI that I have...it is supposed to be more like a 2016 batch or something. Is Milestone the most similar smelling throughout?
