Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bay laurel Laurus Nobilis Leaf Oil from Bay Leaf
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Millesime 1849 kicks off with a sharp, invigorating burst of bergamot, grapefruit, and lemon, a classic citrus opening. This quickly mellows into a powdery, sophisticated heart of rose and iris, underpinned by the creamy sweetness of ylang-ylang. The dry down introduces a woody, aromatic depth with bay leaf and thyme, while a subtle incense note adds a hint of mysterious, aged warmth. It's a journey from zesty freshness to a soft, herbal powdered woodiness.
