Millesime 1849 Eau de Parfum

This was a blind buy for me & never having smelled the original I was rolling the dice big time at nearly $400 per bottle. Thankfully it was love at first sniff. I think this is worth every cent of what it's selling for. I absolutely love it! I don't see a woman pulling this off. It's a very masculine scent that starts off with a bit of warm citrus spicey oud. So hard to describe but one I don't regret buying. I don't get the resemblance to royal oud as others have stated. Longevity is incredible with above average sillage & performance. I understand fragrance is subjective at best but anyone who says this is "a old man's nursing home" needs to go back to collecting baseball cards &/or get their noses checked because this stuff is heaven in a bottle! Of course it goes without saying that it's not going to be for everyone but this checks off all the boxes for me. Non-linear, excellent performance, above average sillage & longevity, unique composition, intriguing etc but please, sample before you buy but definitely get your snot locker on this bad boy asap!

Blind bought based off reviews I had seen. Very dangerous. However, upon smelling the cool down I was pleasantly relieved. When I first sprayed it I definitely was upset because of the stinky old-man’s house note. But again, after an hour and for the following eight hours it was a divine old-money accord like sitting at a tennis match on a cool spring day. Would have like to try it before I bought it but then I would've never known about the cool down. Not for anyone between the age of 12-22, and between 22-30 you better be wise beyond your years and dress to wear this well.

Well this ain't for everyone... But... It's definitely for me. I love it, I agree it's very very vintage but it gives me a less sweet, less fruity version of my long discontinued D&G red. The soapy citrus and the yellow floral dry down is beautiful. I personally could never see a man wearing this, hence why I've ended up with my husbands harrods cast offs 😜😜 happy calendar day to me

Ignore the low rating, it happens all the time here. Go try it yourself. 😅 It has prominent vintage vibe as its name suggests. After a while, it gets a bit more modern, only a bit. Its powdery floral with green spice and incense. The best part for me is from the middle to dry down. Kind of unique leaning masculine. The more I spend time with it, the more I love it.

As someone who isn’t a huge fan of powdery fragrances, I wasn’t expecting to like this so much, but I love it! Old school soapy/talc opening, drying down to a woody, slightly sweet, powdery floral. It just smells gorgeous.
