The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023, Millesime 1849 Eau de Parfum by Creed is a fragrance that embodies the brand’s legacy of elegance and sophistication. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from bergamot, lemon, and grapefruit, creating an invigorating freshness that cuts through the air. This vibrant opening leads into a heart of ylang-ylang, jasmine, and rose, where floral sweetness is balanced by the warmth of iris and thyme. The base notes of cedar and incense anchor this complex blend with earthy depth and smoky complexity.
Apply one to two sprays for a balance between the bright top notes and the deeper base. The incense and cedar in the base take about an hour to fully bloom, so give it time before reapplying. This fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room.
