Alexandria Fragrances Summer 1872 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Summer 1872 opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Lime, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Marigold, Jasmine, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. Alexandria Fragrances's Summer 1872 carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

If longevity's your game, this is a solid choice. It's an invigorating blast of citrus and spice, but for some, the pepper might be a bit much. A divisive one, so sample first.

About

Opens with an energetic riot of citrus - think bergamot and lime, sharpened by a kick of pepper and the green bite of galbanum. As the initial zest settles, a subtle floral heart emerges, with jasmine and marigold adding a touch of smooth elegance. The dry down is a warm embrace of amber and musk, grounded by earthy patchouli and cedar, with an enduring fresh spice hum.
