Quick answers
History
Tabarome belongs to the catalogue of Creed, the house that claims a London (United Kingdom) founding in 1760. It is sold today as Tabarome Millésime.
“Millésime” is not a concentration here. Creed borrows the wine term to signal quality, and Olivier Creed describes materials macerated by hand near Fontainebleau (France).
The house gives no launch year and no perfumer. Community databases list 2000.
A fan story links Tabarome to Winston Churchill and a first version in 1936. No house source or dated press article consulted confirms it, and Osmetheca does not repeat it as fact.
In 2026 Creed sells Tabarome Millésime in four sizes, from 50 to 490 ml, all as eau de parfum.
Fragrance notes
These are the notes Creed publishes on its official Tabarome Millésime page.
Tobacco appears only in the base. The name promises tobacco, but the house leads with wood.
Scent profile
The start is fresher than the name suggests, with ginger and grapefruit in front. Tea, coffee and rum then lay down a dry, barely sweet heart.
Sandalwood and tobacco close the composition without weight. Osmetheca files it as a spicy woody: ginger and pink berries matter more than the tobacco leaf.
“Our millésime perfumes are blends of high quality natural raw ingredients that are weighted, mixed and macerated, in most cases by hand, in a small artisanal factory near Fontainebleau, France.”Olivier Creed, Creed “The Art of Millésime” page
Key characteristics
When and where to wear
Tobacco, rum and sandalwood pull it toward cooler weather. Its ginger and grapefruit opening still makes it easy to wear at the office and in the shoulder seasons. Osmetheca does not publish a longevity figure.
