<\/figure>\n\n\n\n 7. Millesime Imperial Eau De Parfum By Creed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Millesime Imperial eau de parfum is a floral, musky and woody fragrance that was created by Olivier Creed for men and women. The city that inspires the creation of this unique scent is Sicily, and it tries to captures the essence and ambience of this beautiful city by the sea-side through the incorporation and perfect blend of citrus notes, fruity notes, sea notes, and woody notes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On fragrance composition, it contains tangy and fresh citrus notes of lemon, mandarin, and bergamot; which balances out perfectly blended calming sea notes, largely appealing fruity notes, and the deep and dense scents of woody and amber notes like musk, sandalwood, and amber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This fragrance is both warm, elegant, and seductive, making it the best choice for daytime and evening affairs, either for formal or informal settings. Its unisex appeal is another strong feature of this unique fragrance, making it easier to share your favourite fragrance with your spouse or partner. It has a very impressive staying power and increased projection that guarantees freshness all day long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the name Millesime Imperial which when translated means \u201cimperial vintage\u201d, this fragrance lives up to the Creed reputation and the stellar standard it sets from an existence that goes way back to the rise and fall of imperial courts in Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The flacon is thoroughly covered in gold as a tribute to the royal history backing the Creed brand and its sustained influential status over the years. In addition, it commemorates the 150th<\/sup> anniversary of this great fashion house that started in Paris many decades back. <\/p>\n\n\n\nJust as in most Creed fragrances, this gold standard fragrance comes available in 30ml or 1.01oz, 50ml or 1.7 oz. and 100ml or 3.4 oz., 250ml or 8.45 oz, and 500ml or 16.9 oz. bottle sizes. In addition, there are unofficial sample bottles that come in 1 oz or 1.04 oz. bottle sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambre Nuit Eau De Parfum By Christian Dior<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Amber Nuit eau de parfum is an oriental (with dominant floral and amber notes) gender-neutral fragrance created for men and women by Francois Demachy, Dior\u2019s in-house perfumer. This fragrance comes as an addition to the list of Dior\u2019s famous gender-neutral scents, among which we find perfumes like Cologne Blanche by Dior, Bois d\u2019Argent by Dior, and Eau Noire by Dior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the name hints, this fragrance is a bottle of contrasting and conflicting opposites. Here, \u201cambre\u201d and \u201cnuit\u201d capture an essence of the deep and intense dark notes of amber and pink pepper(which is a common feature in most typically masculine perfumes), and the inherent attributes of floral and citrusy notes like Bergamot, grapefruit, and Turkish rose, which is often the metaphorical representation of traditional femininity. The notes in this fragrance include: Turkish rose, grapefruit, amber, bergamot, and pink pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like its embodiment of male and female traits, it marries the banal notes of amber to the dainty and creamy notes of Turkish rose, representing how it successfully merges two varying personalities into a harmonious fold, that is neither too animalistic or effeminate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In general, this fragrance is both powerful and alluring, making it the epitome of elegance and boldness. Amber Nuit eau de parfum by Dior was launched by Dior in 2009 and comes available in 45ml or 1.3 fl. oz., 125ml or 4.25 fl. oz., 250ml or 8.5 fl. oz., and 450ml or 15 fl. oz. bottle sizes. It comes in the iconic flacon that houses most classic fragrances from Dior and has an amber-yellow colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Price And Availability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nOn the original Dior website, the 45ml or 1.3 fl. oz. bottle sells for $100, closely followed by the 125ml or 4.25 fl. oz. bottle which sells for $220. On the bigger side, the prices of the 250ml or 8.5 fl. oz. bottle and the 450ml or 15 fl. oz bottle are not included in this review because they do not fall under the below $300 category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n9.

Like the name, the fragrance composition reminds one of adrenal rush. It is the ideal perfume choice for the daring, brave and resoundingly independent man who treads on dangerous edges and constantly pushes borders and boundaries. This idea of a powerful and adventurous masculinity this fragrance represents is perfectly embodied by pro surfer, Danny Fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Created by Jacques Polge, this fragrance is a potpourri of spicy, woody, amber, and aromatic notes. When applied, the fragrance profile opens with the minty and citrusy scents of mint and mandarin, which is followed by the green and woody notes of sage, cypress, and cedarwood.

Colonia Futura Eau De Cologne By Acqua Di Parma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Colonia Futura eau de cologne is a fougere aromatic fragrance that is meant for men and women by Acqua di Parma. This fragrance comes as a flanker of the classic bestselling Colonia cologne from Acqua di Parma, still with the irresistible aura and rich Italian touch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the name insinuates, this fragrance is deemed to be the future replacement for the older Colonia, and seems equal to the task with its rich blend of exotic and intoxicating scents.

The base note of vetiver balances out everything, bring in an earthy woody aura and reassuring cohesion to the entire fragrance composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mister Marvelous Eau De Parfum By Byredo <\/h3>\n\n\n\n Mister Marvelous eau de parfum is an aromatic and woody fragrance created by Ben Gorham for men. Like the name, it believes in the concept of changing and spicing things up to start up something marvelous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This fragrance steers away from the portrayal of the traditional idea of masculinity upheld by most male fragrances. And as such, it gives a bright and invigorating fresh and citrusy signature scent that is in contrasts with the traditional male deeply spicy and mysterious scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ideal man whom this fragrance is modelled after is both adventurous, active, fun, and spontaneous. These qualities are recognized in its mix of notes that include: top notes of neroli flower and mandarin; heart notes of lavender and bamboo; and base notes of white cedarwood and black amber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just like most fragrances from Byredo, this perfume launched in 2011 comes in a simple bottle and is made with only natural ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
