CREED VS ARMAF | MILLESIME IMPERIAL VS MILESTONE | BEST FRAGRANCE CLONE?

Can a clone fragrance be better than the original?
In this deep dive investigation I am comparing Creed to Armaf. Can a fragrance that costs a fraction of the price of the original be better? Can you buy a cheap fragrance and still get the same or better quality than a much more expensive version?

My experience with millestone when i wear it is not that enjoyable but when i smelled it on another guy it was amazing. It gave such expensive rich man on a yacht vibes. Really strong performance too. He was wearing it in winter.

I tend to disagree. Quality of milestone is shockingly good for the price!

[@mr_5htman]

It's shit. Armaf is the shittiest on quality when it comes to clone brands, especially for the price. They sell purely on hype because of the Club de Nuit name popularity. You can find much better quality from UAE houses if you just dig deeper than just youtube.

As for creed as a house, i hear a lot of people complain about creed's fragrances, that they are weaker and have no performance. Now i dont know what it used to be, but i got Aventus 2021 and 2022 batches, green irish tweed 2021 batch, creed viking 2018 batch and just bought a new batch of virgin island water. I kid you not, they all last on me for a whole day. From 7 am in the morning before work and till around 5-7 pm depends on the day. Now projection is a different story, they are not strong at projection. But longevity as itself? No issues at all.

This is truly a masterpiece of video production. The attention to detail, the creativity in each shot, and the seamless editing all come together to create a truly captivating visual experience.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Much appreciated!

[@rammul7801]

OMG!! Where to start? I have a lot to say. 1- Thank you for the fun video. There might have been one or two segments that dragged on longer than they needed for me, and I skipped them, particularly because they weren't relative. But overall, great work 🫡. 2- I've never seen that photage of George! Although I watched his MI vs. Milestone video. I loved it! Thanks for sharing. I do miss him a lot. 3- Regarding the scents' performance, I love MI, but I do prefer Silver Mountain. MI doesn't perform or project on me. I can barely smell it on myself after maybe 15 minutes. I'm not bitter about it because I got a 100ml for 180 US dollars from a discounter. But I will never re-buy it. While Milestone is a BEAST! But I also won't buy it again for that reason! You see, for me, the beauty of MI is how refined, soft, and delicate it is. Milestone is that ×10. So, it amplifies elements that I don't think I like. Particularly a green gingery element which even George once described in MI. 4- I never get the watermelon in both.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

If you skipped them how do you know they weren’t relevant? Blood sweat and tears went into every single frame. Give it a chance, it’s only 14 minutes 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@rammul7801]

@FRAGMENTAL sorry Chris. I love you man!! Didn't mean to demean your efforts. I was watching, but then it felt liked I wasn't getting something I need. To be specific: the watermelon part, between people eating melons then you smashing one with an axe. And the whole sea levels, diluted seas and environmentally careless perfume lovers . I get it's humor and I do love your humor. But in this particular video I wasn't feeling it. But that's just me. Not you. Again, sorry. If it makes any difference. I unsubscribed from all perfume content creators except the great three: you, George and Aaron. And I will rewatch the whole thing again. Please accept my apology

[@yining200]

Honestly I love these comedy videos. Is Creed Good was another favorite

[@statikstepz]

Incredible video my man! Anyone that clicks on this vid will be glued start to finish. Top notch editing and story telling! Loving how these videos you have been cranking out are more like "episodes", as opposed to a "simple one take review"... nothing wrong with those for content, but these "episodes" really do put you miles ahead of everyone else out there! Keep up the good work! PS - You doing a Millesime Imperial vid makes me think of George... he still has yet to post that, so there's still hope that he hasn't completely hung his hat as of yet! Tell him his fans support his new film venture but still hope for some periodic fragrance content!

[@Djems94]

My bottle of 2020 was quite fine in performance in my opinion. However, I recently found out that my bottle went bad😢. I store my fragrance properly and there is more juice than air in the bottle. So even though I hate dupes, if I were to re buy it, i think I’d rather go with Armaf…

My only criticism, make it half the time, speed through the facts and keep facts to end in written format, we can then pause and read but you get is to watch to the end so it's good for the algorithm. I've subscribed and will watch more.

[@shahzebnasir4692]

It's crazy I just got my decant of Millesime Imperial today and smelt it for the first time and then went back to your old video comparing the two to see if I should get the full bottle and here you are putting this video out. Are you the NSA spying on everyone Chris? Also from personal experience I have not found a single 'cheaper' clone that is better than the original in terms of actual scent profile. The only one I can think of is Godolphin being better than Tuscan Leather but the others always have such a synthetic, harsh smell to them that is very off putting. MI is incredibly synthetic though so maybe this is the one time you can make an exception! EDIT: "Your fruit killing skills are remarkable" - Gaz

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Haha yeah got spy’s everywhere 😉

[@trollking99]

MI6, not NSA

[@MansaMusa-v5q]

How can MI be synthetic if it opens with citrus and not alcohol just like most synthetic fragrances

[@shahzebnasir4692]

@@MansaMusa-v5q Every fragrance has alcohol in it and I don't get any citrus in the opening personally. I get a lot of fruity notes that smell mostly of melons to me. It's hard to pick out which type of fruit it is exactly (a lot of people say watermelon but the perfumer confirmed there is none whatsoever in it) and that's usually a telltale sign it's mostly synthetics in there.

I have 3 bottles of millesime imperial from 2007(comes with black sprayer) and I can tell you this staff is crazy good and powerful I could smell it for 2 days on my skin it's very expensive now, I have seen it online with $947 but luckily I have 2 sealed bottles and one am using . The new patches with the golden bottle is not really as 50% good. Better use the armaf version.

[@rumenstiliyanow4769]

The opening of milestone is just disgusting to my nose, smells like heated melting plastic and I just can't get over it but in the dry down it still smells sweeter and more fruity compared to Milessime Imperial. I love my milessime imperial I get around 5 hours of longevity and projection which I find to be a satisfying performance and I got it for $120 for 3.4oz so I guess it's a win for me.
