Beautiful Fragrance, my new favorite from Creed. Similar to Royal Oud in my opinion , but better in every way ! Fresher, smoother, just a all around man’s Fragrance. Not a younger mans fragrancr either, 30 and up. It’s very sophisticated. I know it’s supposed to be unisex , but I think it’s definitely masculine. I like Viking , but this is everything Viking should’ve been. As for the notes, I’m not good enough to distinguish many notes, but I get the cedar, vanilla, patchouli and maybe a lil oud, but Creed oud , not the real stanky oud. I Love it !

Not as hard to find as people are making out.. this is readily available on the Creed online store for £225.
I bought this as a blind buy because I got it for the relatively great price of £100 for 75ml. I had no idea what to expect.. but upon spraying I quickly realised that although this is listed as a unisex scent, the florals that instantly hit you make it into a very feminine Creed. The Jasmine and the Ylang Ylang are very prominent. Strangely I find it quite linear despite people talking about it changing through the top to the bottom.
It performs ok, longevity is surprisingly good for a Creed, but projection isn’t great. It becomes a skin scent after an hour or so, but if you’re a creed fan then you’ll be used to that.
if you haven’t got this, I wouldn’t really bother tbh. It’s worth picking up if you can get it cheap, as I imagine this will be vaulted at some stage and you may make money on it. But nowhere near as good as the icons like MI or GIT. I would reach for those over this all day long.

I had the opportunity to get a spray of this hard to find scent in Harrods this afternoon. I was excited to give it a go due to it’s exclusivity, which means it’s nigh-on impossible to find elsewhere.
It’s…ok, nice enough. At first I wasn’t all that impressed, but the dry down is quite nice. I’d agree with the user ‘Lightning’ in the sense that it’s a gentler, smoother Royal Oud. The sandalwood definitely takes center stage once it’s dried down, whilst the floral notes take the edge of somewhat.
It’s a decent fragrance, however, given that it is only sold in perhaps the most famous shop in the world, I don’t think it quite lives up to the promise. I’d wear it, but I certainly wouldn’t buy it at it’s going rate. Creed get some flack for their pricing, and whilst some I’d happily pay full price for, this isn’t one of them.

Love unisex fragrances, so I love this. My husband wears the Imperial M. We agree Millesime leans more toward unisex. This stays fresh and clean even in humid weather. I wear this for casual/everyday but not special or business related occasions.

I had the opportunity of smelling this rare fragrance when I visited NYC last year. I don’t remember exactly what it smells like: maybe sort of a sparkly fresh, woody, sweet mix. Maybe like a less powdery version of L’Homme.
On the simple side but well balanced and blended. I guess you could say smoother gentler Royal Oud for summer edition. It’s a nice fragrance, but not worth the price for 99% of people.

I bought a Creed sample vial pack from one of those decant websites. This is one of the bottles that me and my wife decided to buy.
I was happy when the bottle arrived. That green bottle looks a lot better in person than it does online.
That is where my enthusiasm stops. This seemed a lot more floral from the bottle than it did from my sample. No big deal I thought, I really loved the dry down more than anything. Not this time.. I will say the bottle lasts longer than the sample…..but this is still a weaker performer. I do still enjoy it, but it was just a bit disappointing. I know there wasn’t a mistake because they smell very much the same. The sample was from a year ago so there is that. I should know to expect subtle diff from a Millesime. I am just particular with little differences…especially when floral notes are involved.
On my skin I get 2 hours of projection followed by a skin scent for another 2 hours max.
I gave the entire bottle to my wife and she loves it. I feel like this should be marketed toward women, but I’m sure a guy could pull it off better than me. I am just overly sensitive toward floral. It is the same reason I cannot wear Neroli Portrofino. I knew I should have trusted my gut. It seems that ten different reviews have ten different opinions about the notes. I got stuck with a heavy floral batch :
I did have some success layering this with Original Santal. It was a good combo for sure. That is probably the only way I will wear this again.
Even if I were not sensitive to heavy floral I still don’t think 1849 does enough in terms of longevity and originality. It just doesn’t justify the price tag.

Millesime 1849 has a good reputation, and as a white floral-dominant fragrance, it’s bright and pleasant and probably has some unisex appeal, despite perhaps being more traditionally feminine. The bergamot gives it a strong opening but most of my experience of this is dominated by the ylang ylang heart. I hardly get any of the woody base, even after multiple hours on skin. In that respect, it’s tough for me to imagine pulling this off on its own, though some to use this as a blend with other fragrances.
As a sweet white floral with some woody undertones, I liken Millesime 1849 to Tom Ford Shanghai Lily, though Millesime 1849 is a little less sweet. Millesime 1849 rings a little more sophisticated by Shanghai Lily is a little more accessible.
Certainly an interesting scent and something that one might ponder layering with, this isn’t something I would wear beyond testing. Even if the opening is a little too floral for my taste, that it dries down so floral is a bit of a turnoff and it’s a bit too feminine on my skin. Still, a nice exclusive Creed entry (and an expensive one, at $390 for 75ml) and a welcome try if it sounds good.

Vintage, woody, green, musky, yellow flowers, smooth, well rounded, balanced, complex, old school, safe, british style, masculine yet soft. It makes you feel like listening to refined classical music. One of Creed’s best releases, but nothing very special. I am 91/100 on this effort. Excellent.

Beautiful fragrance. Reminds me of a dance between a mix of Creed Royal Oud and the florals from 1872 Clive Christian for women, both of which are amazing in their own regard. There is a symphony of scents that work together in a complex way, for which I admire Creed.
Meicb351JeomiWogkig – :
I purchased 1849 from the Creed boutique last month, wore it fully for the first time today. WOW. Love it. It’s a very complex fragrance that resembles a musky floral oud. As a man, its completley wearable for any season, office, etc. I have received compliments on it already. Can’t use it too often because its limited edition. Not sure why Creed doesn’t make Windsor or 1849 brand staples. They are some of the best work of the house in years. If you like Aventus, or MI, I think you would like this- too bad its difficult to get.

First & Foremost – Thanks to Rodney and Louis @ The Creed Boutique in New York for the excellent service and explaining their experience of wearing Creed Millesime 1849.
So I received my package from UPS Tuesday morning 8/20/2013, but decided to open it the following day. The excitement began to increase as I shuffled through mounds of Styrofoam balls and various samples of Creed recommendations only to be greeted by a well-secured box layered in bubble wrap of Millesime 1849. “Hooray!” The moment I’ve been waiting for…. While carefully removing the plastic bubble wrap the idea dawned on me to take a shower first before applying this rare fragrance. After showering, drying-off and getting dressed, here-goes; I applied 2-sprays behind each ear, and 1-spray to the back of the neck. Instantly I said, “Wow, this smells really good.”
In Millesime 1849, the opening impressions of ylang-ylang, jasmine, vanilla, and a hint of both cedar-and-bergamot are noticeably paired-well making this a wonderful Creed to add to a fragrance collection. In the dry-down this fragrance gets even better because of its multi-faceted quality which Creed is known to offer; The sandalwood, agarwood, patchouli, and musk gather intensity but not a cloying effect such as Original Vetiver(*which is still a good scent too). Also, I sense a hint of ambergris even though its not listed in the notes.
For people who are thinking of acquiring m1849, but have not had the opportunity to sniff it, I am reassuring you this can easily be worn during the spring, summer, and fall seasons; also perfect for any time of day. It can be used casually or formal, and may even become a signature-scent if the availability comes about.
Overall, I can’t imagine why anyone would give this fragrance a thumbs down – NO WAY!! If this ever becomes something Creed decides to release as a permanent scent I would gladly like to own a 2nd bottle. Many people might have thoughts of wondering if M1849 is better than Aventus, Millesime Imperial, or Green Irish Tweed….And to be honest, Its not that kind of party. It’s a RARE-SCENT-FOR-NOW, and I envision this standing somewhere along the lines of perhaps a Tom Ford Oud Wood and between Creed Original Vetiver during the dry down phase. I did not say its like those just mentioned, but it could stand in comparison & contrast with those mentioned. Also, few reviewers on Basenotes & Fragrantica say M1849 is a floral cologne; and I can see where people feel this way although if you give this 30-minutes to build a relationship with, this fragrance will capture your appreciation for quality, and you will start getting wafts of different notes that you’ll certainly enjoy.
Remember, this is only my sole opinion and I grew to appreciate Creed for its quality and variation which I feel many fragrance makers lack. This is not Gucci, Cartier, Polo, or Chanel,…. This is CREED; and Millesime 1849 makes my 5th from this fragrance house that I enjoy (Millesime Imperial, Aventus, Pure White Cologne, Originial Vetiver & Millesime 1849). I look to add others down the line such as royal water, silver mountain water, royal oud, jardin d’ amalfi, and maybe even Windsor if I am fortunate enough. Hope this wasn’t too long of a review.

I was intensely excited for the release of this new fragrance from Creed, and had high expectations based on the exclusivity by which it was sold in very limited quantity. Unfortunately that anticipation quickly turned to disappointment with my first trial. The opening briefly peaked my interested with a nice blending of citrus bergamot, medicinal oud, and woody cedar. Quickly this soon fades, leaving an intensely cloying and powdery yellow floral accord behind. It is here that I believe restraint could have been applied to the amount of ylang-ylang included (initial smelling caused me to sneeze… Never a good sign). Fortunately after a while this does become more subdued, and faint hints of jasmine, patchouli, and sandalwood pierce through. If after reading ingredient notes you expect an oud-based fragrance, you will definitely be disappointed as I was. This is a sickly sweet, ultra-feminine, yellow floral number. Here’s to looking ahead to what’s in the horizon next year for Creed. … . (62)

There is a very nice dry noticeable blast of oud upon application…the same sry oud that is in Royal Oud. But it is quickly dominated by the ylang ylang (most noticeable) and Jasmine. I absolutely loved the opening…it was something that had never been done with oud, at least in what I’ve experienced, but this quickly morphs into a woody floral musk IMO. As beautiful as this is (and it is quite delightful), I think there are other WFM and chypres featuring jasmine and ylang ylang that are probably comparable for much less money . In my opinion this veers to the feminine, but may be a little too woody for some who will find it too masculine. Such is the danger of making unisex scents, when, as much as people would like to be liberated, they still associate certain smells as gender related. I hope this pleases someone, as it really is gorgeous, but for me, it has too much ylang ylang. All the notes listed are detectable, and I think it is superbly blended…just not for me.

Received a sample from the Creed Boutique last week. Oud type of fragrance, with slight floral notes. Not particularly memorable I believe for world market. I would probably enjoy this fragrance more in the cooler weather than summer. Wonderful looking bottle. Will sample this again in the near future.
agent 007 – :
You can only buy this in Harrods in the UK and it comes in one size 75ml for £200.
The reason its exclusive to Harrods Knightsbridge is that in 1849 Harrods moved to the Knightsbridge area of London, near Hyde Park. Hence the name Millesime 1849 and why it is green and gold like the Harrods logo.
As for its smell I cant remember how it smells to be honest but I do remember I was not parasitically impressed with it.
More of an GIT and Royal Oud VIBE then an Aventus and MI vibe
We will see if this takes off ….
