Creed Millésime 1849 Eau de Parfum 100ml

Creed Millésime 1849 — A Tribute to the Year Creed Conquered Paris

Launched in 2023, Millésime 1849 by Creed is a luminous, aromatic, and deeply sophisticated Floral Aromatic fragrance for men — a fragrance of extraordinary historical significance and extraordinary beauty, named for 1849: the year the House of Creed moved to Paris and began its legendary relationship with the French Imperial Court, supplying fragrances to Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie. Millésime — French for “vintage,” as in the finest year of a great wine — 1849 is precisely that: the finest, most defining vintage in the history of the Creed house, the year that transformed a London glover into the most celebrated perfumer in the French Empire. This is a fragrance worthy of that legacy.

The fragrance opens with a vivid, immediately invigorating accord of luminous bergamot, zesty lemon, and bright grapefruit, creating an opening of extraordinary freshness, luminosity, and quietly confident masculine energy. The heart deepens with a beautifully original, multi-layered floral-aromatic core of narcotic ylang-ylang, heady jasmine, velvety rose, and precious iris — one of the most expensive raw materials in all of perfumery, with its distinctive violet-like, powdery elegance — creating a heart of extraordinary warmth, floral richness, and quietly commanding masculine sophistication. The dry-down reveals the composition’s most distinctive, most original character: aromatic bay leaf — the warm, slightly spiced, deeply herbal leaf of the Mediterranean laurel tree, one of the most ancient and most evocative aromatic ingredients in perfumery — earthy thyme — the intensely aromatic Mediterranean herb of extraordinary warmth and herbal depth — dry cedar, and sacred incense, creating a base of remarkable aromatic complexity, warmth, and the kind of effortless, skin-fused longevity that makes Millésime 1849 one of the most original and most historically resonant fragrances in the Creed collection.
