Is 1818 a Brooks Brothers batch code?
No. It is part of the brand’s heritage and the name of a fragrance line, so it appears across more than one unit.

Brooks Brothers FAQ
Is every cologne sold by Brooks Brothers a Brooks Brothers fragrance?
No. The retailer currently carries Royall products as well, and the bottle’s own brand and distributor panel control the lookup.
Can a clothing style number date a Brooks Brothers fragrance?
No. Apparel and e-commerce references are separate from the compact lot applied to the fragrance bottle or carton.
Check a Brooks Brothers fragrance batch code
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Inspect the glass base, underside label, bottle shoulder, cap or collar, carton base, and inner set tray for an etched, stamped, or ink-printed lot. 1818, New York, Black Fleece, Red Fleece, eau de toilette, 3.4 fl oz or 100 ml, barcode, tester wording, and apparel-style references identify the scent or package rather than its fill date.
- Read the responsibility or distributor panel before checking an older bottle because Brooks Brothers fragrances have been produced under license, including by Inter Parfums. The current Brooks Brothers store also lists third-party Royall colognes; a product bought there is not automatically a Brooks Brothers formula.
Common lookup mistakes
- Record the exact fragrance name, concentration, volume, bottle and carton design, licensee or distributor, country, barcode, and matching codes from both bottle and box.
- Store fragrance upright away from sunlight and heat. For vintage or discontinued bottles, evaluate evaporation, seal condition, sediment, color and odor alongside the lot estimate, which cannot authenticate a resale item by itself.
