What Does Armaf Club de Nuit Milestone Smell Like?
The opening starts with a combination of sea notes, berries, and bergamot. The sea notes have a saltiness, comparative to Millesime Imperial. The fruity sweet berries play second fiddle in the background. Providing an excellent balance to the dominant sea notes.
The bergamot is the least prevalent but still useful. It provides a fleeting citrus kick that allures interest.
Once bergamot starts to fade, its void is filled by violet leaf and musk. The violet lingers in the background but is a nice airy blend with a powdery touch. The musk is most prominent, combining with the sea notes.
The rest of the wear equal parts sea notes and musk take over the scent. Supported by a soft and warm sandalwood backbone.

Performance
The performance is similar to that of Millesime Imperial, unfortunately. Milestone lasts six hours on the skin with moderate to light projection. The first 1.5-2 hours, it pushes out to an arm’s length. After hour two, it gradually recedes to become a skin scent at hour five and will be for the last hour of wear.
The sillage is the same. It leaves a scent trail when you move around, but not one that is dense enough to linger in the air. This performance is with five sprays.
This is exclusively spring and summer wear. There is no depth to the fragrance to make it last. As for occasions, it is all. It is a playful fragrance but still sophisticated. The musk and sandalwood in the base give it the stand-out factor for formal occasions and dates.
The mass appeal and likability are excellent. Who doesn’t enjoy a fresh and woody fragrance? There are no decisive notes in Milestone. It is also subtle enough that everyone can enjoy it without becoming overwhelmed.
Armaf Club de Nuit Milestone Clones
There are no clones of Milestone, but it is the most accurate dupe of Creed Millesime Imperial. There are two subtle differences and one major difference. The first subtle difference is the less fruity opening. They are both fruits dominant, but Millesime Imperial is significantly more intense.
The next subtle difference is the addition of violet leaf in the dry-down of Milestone. It still emphasizes a fresh and airy aroma. However, it adds a subtle floral and more intense powdery nuance.
The biggest difference is the addition of a woody depth in Milestone. Unfortunately, it didn’t give Milestone better longevity and projection too.
Where Should I Buy Armaf Club de Nuit Milestone?
Final Words
The final burning question is, is Armaf Club de Nuit Milestone worth it? Yes. I don’t usually recommend clones because of their lack of originality, but this is so accurate and quality. This is an excellent alternative to an expensive fragrance for a tenth of the price.
