Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Jean Marie Farina Extra Vieille EDC
This is a truly classic cologne, fresh and invigorating. Don't expect it to last longer than a cuppa, but for a quick burst of uplifting citrus, it’s spot on. Ideal for hot days or as a 'refresher' but be warned - the staying power is notoriously brief.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Millesime 1849 EDP
This one's a divisive trip down memory lane. If you fancy smelling like old money, a vintage armchair, or your nan's Chanel No. 5, then Millesime 1849 is your jam. For the rest of us, it's a hard pass.

Season and Occasion Fit

Jean Marie Farina Extra Vieille

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its extremely light nature and poor longevity make it unsuitable for situations needing sustained presence like dates or formal events. However, its fresh, clean citrus and aromatic profile make it perfect for casual wear, office environments where strong scents are inappropriate, and for refreshing spritzes during sport or hot weather.

Millesime 1849

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

Its clear vintage vibe and sophisticated, classic profile make it too formal and heavy for casual or office wear, potentially overwhelming in close quarters. It’s best suited for formal events where its unique character can truly shine.
