Most (97%) of people out there are not into fragrances like us fragrance geeks therefore they won't know the difference in quality and ingredients used from "A" fragrance vs "B" fragrance!.Use the one you can afford and that smells really nice to you and to others and you'll be JUST fine, I know this by experience!.On the other hand if you are a perfectionist and rabid fragrances collector and have the $$$ to spend then go out and knock yourself out!!!!
When I tried Aventus I sprayed it on one arm and prayed INTENSE by ARMAF and the sales lady said as she didn't know which arm had what and she said the THE ARM WITH ARMAF smelt great as Creed Aventus does I said hun that's ARMAF not Creed she was speechless so I can buy 10 bottles of ARMAF to Creed no one would know unless you are a perfumer or a fragrance freak.
I got 3 bottles of 3ml samples of Millesime imperial and absolutely loved the smell. I'm not willing to pay the price for a 100ml bottle as I think it's been reformulated so many times and furthermore as of now Creed is not owned by Creed themselves anymore, if not mistaken they sold the company to Blackrock and obviously the new owners are not able to recreate the same good and quality Creed fragrances. I'm gonna give a try to Milestone
Came just to show my support. Don't have the money for any creed over here :( but you do the clearest reviews, i will still watch them all. I like that you talk about projection, longevity and sillage, incredibly some reviewers don't even mention those and for non collectors like many of us thats almost as important as the fragrance itself. Keep it up! And don't keep us waiting for so long lol.
I just got a bottle of Milestone, and it honestly puzzled me. I tried it out the evening I got it, and it really didn't do much. I could barely feel it on me. I tried it again during the day. It was pretty warm out, and then I noticed it. I felt a watery-citrus-fruity scent to it. It still wasn't terribly powerful, but it was there.
Very nice comparison. I own both and the Milestone is a bit harsh at the beginning but give it 30 minutes and it smells just like MI. The newer batches of Creed fade within a few hours and the Milestone lasts all day on my skin.
I get more waaay more compliments with club de unit intense Man than I do with my creed Aventus,so I started wearing it more often and sure enough I get complimented every-time I wear it. I just ordered milestone hoping it’s smells as good as MI, I currently have a bottle and really like it so we’ll see how that goes!
Not bad actually, Club de nuit intense is decent once you get past the opening. Sillage is really 👍 and Milestone is also ok,although not as good as Sillage. That's if you are after Creed clones. 😉
Thanks,i have sillage and cdnim i think i might pass for now im thinking of getting black orchid parfum and its clone 24hours oud if you know a clone of black orchid other than 24hours oud please let me know :)
Clearly don’t own Aventus and are just trying to justify your reason for buying a clone over the real thing lmao. Feel free to prove me wrong with proof you own both tho, you won’t.
Enjoyed the match up. Have an older batch of MI, trying to conserve as much as possible. A very difficult task though, such a magnificent blend. Almost impossible to match with a copy for sure. 👍
New to the channel. Great review. I just ordered this and I’m excited to see how it compares to my vintage batch of creed MI , i’ve heard others say it resembles a more vintage batch than the newer batches so curious to see how it works. Just subbed Great content. I’m excited to do my review over this fragrance as well
Just got Milestone today as my first Armaf, due to the reputation the house has gotten. I think it's okay so far, starting to think I should have gotten Sillage as a fresh pick from the house. The opening is a mess to me, but I sort of expected that being a clone. A lot more floral than expected due to the overpowering violet, I get more of a honeydew scent once everything finally calms down from the "red fruits" in it. More musty than I was expecting as well, at least it was only $30. However I've had a couple fragrances I've hated at first but grew to love (Montale Explorer comes to mind) so that can probably happen with this one as well, will see.
Sillage is greatness...ironically...I received my bottle of Milestone yesterday and though the bottle said Milestone...it was filled with Sillage...smh
I agree with everything you said in this very good comparison. I used Milestone last summer a lot, considering the price it is not "painful" to spray it. Perfect for the beach. I received a compliment by a female colleague who came closer to look at the computer I was working and she said "Matteo you smell so good". I was surprised. The first hour is not that good, kinda metallic and synthetic, but after 2-3 hours is very sweet, floral and fruity. Millesime I tried at the Creed store and it is on another level of course but the price is a big obstacle.
exactly - no one in the world wants to play with a clone, everyone rather have the real deal but it costs around $400 in Australia, there is ZERO justification for me to drop that money on a fragrance. I have all 3 of the 'popular' Armaf, including the CDNIM LE - all 3 Armaf set me back $180. I would have had to spend $1,400 for Creed. Love to have original, but hard to justify it..
so milestone is linear.. hmm I wonder what the consensus btwn users that prefer their perfume to be linear vs one that transitions over time would look like. I personally prefer my perfumes to be linear as its easier to fit them for purposes.. designers are linear but smells common.. niches are unique but not many are linear.. sigh
I love linear for the fragrances I wear out and about. I love complex fragrances when I’m smelling them indoors or with fellow enthusiasts. One of my favourites being Orange Star by Tauer. MI is definitely my go to everday; with Oligarch for special occasions :)
I just subbed to your channel. I just received Tres Nuit today and I purchased Club de Nuit Intense Man earlier this summer. Unless I can find a good deal on Creed, I cannot justify the retail price for Creed fragrances.
I have both Milestone and Millesime Imperial, I prefer Millesime Imperial by far since Milestone has a harsh salty smell in my nose..I kinda didn't like it.
Like any cologne or "clone" the batch # is key. I ordered Milstone and work it on fathrs day. Compliments left and right. I love Creed. But the nee bathches over the past yr do not hold on my scene or clothes. Projection is gone quickly as we all know when it comes to Creed M1.
For me, Armaf is terribly heavy and overwhelming. They say you have to give it a few months and it will smell milder. Now it's very rough and nauseating (the only one in the club de nuit series). Interestingly, it smells better on textiles than on skin.
The most expensive Frag I had no prob paying for and in Australia we pay more for frags than anywhere I've seen was my back up bottles of Dior Elixir which in Australia the 100ml retails for $350, I paid $205 AUD for the 60ml first bottle but 3 max 4 sprays and it's still projecting and smelling great 10hrs later. I'm a designer collector , so many hidden gems Ive spent near 3 yrs building up and currently sit at 87. Bottles with 2 cheapies in Coolwater Parfum and Nortica Voyage for after having a shower.
Did not age well. You get what you pay for. But considering how Creed quality has been of late, I'm picking up Milestone and Sillage from Armaf. Because for the price of Creed, Armaf is looking better and better. Facts.
The reason creed is so expensive is the way they create a perfume. It's well blended so that nothing sticks out. There is a reason why they get cloned. I'll just buy Creed.
i have trouble with clones being too scarchy and harsh smelling up close, i didn't have that with Armafs derby blanche( SMW clones but i'ts heavily watered down), idk if this one has the same problem all the way or just opening, good around you but too intense to enjoy it up close
Don’t even bother buying the creed now, reformation or something, doesn’t last or smell like it used to, get the CDM, smells better projects more and lasts longer
Sillage smelled better to me. Milestone just smelled musky sweet and a little sweet. It was ok, but the projection was only decent for 2-3 hours. Sillage smelled like an orange, musky, luxurious soap and lasted for 3-4 hours on projection. Sillage was better >>
The initial opening isn’t smooth for either. Sillage smells like cat piss for the first 20 seconds and milestone smells like paint thinner for 20 seconds
Hello Sir, for me in 4 Hours with 2 sprays aplication armaf keep smell in my arm but is litle, creed is gone...for me is noy a similary fragance armaf is melón flavors, creed os mineral oil, the first 30 minutes... i will try to sprays more the 2 application from armaf i will see if i change my mind.... thank for your videos i keep wacthing you...
I wish the armaf had got it right but they definitely haven't milestone is extremely harsh and has a nasty background smell on my skin that doesn't leave, Creed millesime imperial is such a lovely scent and i can't stand milestone, I know exactly what you mean when you say it stays the same and the Creed millesime imperial changes and gives a very nice dry down very sensual too women like it when close, but the amarf milestone no such dry down exists lol
Which batch do u have from Creed MI? I have 2010 batch to me my bottle and the new MI bottle are nothing a lile anymore. I think milestone tried hard to stay on the duration of this salty watermelon.
Club de nuit intense is not good sorry and definetely cannot be compared to creed please stop doing it smells nothing like it . Millesime imperial is a lot better but for me it’s very artificial at the end but for the price you cannot complain . I want to try the sillage now . Happy to throw my club de nuit away though lol
No it doesn't smell like paint thinner. Wear it for a whole day. It takes time for it to settle down and it becomes very smooth by mid day especially if it's warm. In my opinion it's well worth the $40 I spent on it.

Milestone smells 99.999 like MI n last so much longer … love it save that money..
Yep, saving is a good thing. Especially when you need more Fragrances. 😆

Hi Marcus,
Don't listen to the haters.
It does last longer.
I don't wear Milestone either 😉
The problem is that in this days not everyone can afford to buy a creed

They are clones. For that price you won't get the same quality ingredients Creed has.🤙

Which is better milestone or sillage
I think Sillage 👍
Hey bro is this more for female or men? Cause my wife said IT smells girly
It smells like Sicily. Not girly at all, just really fresh and women will come back for a second whif 😅
For 400+ dollars you can get 10 to 12 bottles of the clones and get better longevity. The only Creed fragrance thats worth the money is Royal Oud.
True, Royal Oud is awesome 👌
Nice review! what batch is your milestone
Hi Mubarak,
Mine isn't to old . It's a 2017 .

Imperial longevity is pure trash i own both . Id take milestone any day . Last 7 to 9 hrs . Imperial maybe 2 to 3 hrs
Thanks for sharing 👍
Is your MI an older batch?
2017 I think
Which batch do u have from Creed MI? I have 2010 batch to me my bottle and the new MI bottle are nothing a lile anymore. I think milestone tried hard to stay on the duration of this salty watermelon.
I think it's 2017 . Still get good performance.
How close is Milestone to MI? Does Milestone smell great or just another clone HYPE? Thank.....
It smells pretty good, 85 % through top and mid . Drydown doesn't come close. Creed fragrances have a phenomenal Drydown. 🤙
Everyone knows Armaf is the way to go for the price. Who really wants to waste money on cologne?

That’s just the initial opening. Give it a few minutes to settle, but at that point you’ll have olfactory fatigue.
No it doesn't smell like paint thinner. Wear it for a whole day. It takes time for it to settle down and it becomes very smooth by mid day especially if it's warm. In my opinion it's well worth the $40 I spent on it.
@@titusalabat5173 I wanted it to smell good. Just, comes off as a paint thinner smell. Fragrance is very!!!! Subjective, like how you see.
