Clive Christian 1872 For Men Parfum
Description
Clive Christian 1872 For Men is a bright, green citrus-aromatic that pairs sparkling lime and petitgrain with herbal lavender, sage and a warm woody-resinous drydown.
Composed by perfumer Geza Schöen for the British house Clive Christian and launched in 2001, 1872 takes its name from the year Queen Victoria granted the Crown Perfumery its royal warrant. Reviewers describe it as a refined, daylight-fresh green scent — "green and bright upon the first blast" — that settles into a smooth, intimate finish.
Scent Character
- Fresh — 30%
- Floral — 17%
- Woody — 15%
- Sweet — 15%
- Smoky-Resinous — 13%
- Spicy — 9%
Translation: a crisp, herbal-green citrus opening leads the way, softened by light florals and a touch of sweetness, before frankincense, labdanum and cedar add a quiet resinous warmth underneath.
