What does Millésime 1849 (2023) smell like?

It opens with lemon, Calabrian bergamot and grapefruit for a bright freshness, while cypress adds a green edge. The heart builds a floral body from Bulgarian rose, Turkish rose, iris and ylang-ylang. The base rests on oud, sandalwood and Texas cedar, with thyme and frankincense leaving a spicy, lightly resinous trail.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards spring and fall, and name business, daily and leisure wear most often. Most call its character classic and masculine, though some find it feminine. Lubin L de Lubin and Balmain Vent Vert share a close profile.
