Summer 1872

Name: Summer 1872 Eau de Parfum
Brand: Alexandria UK
Availability: InStock

Alexandria UK Summer 1872 is an Eau de Parfum. Summer 1872 opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lime, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Lavender, Peach, and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Alexandria UK's Summer 1872 carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Summer 1872 borrows Clive Christian 1872's zesty citrus opening - lime, grapefruit and pineapple over bergamot - but simplifies the original's more layered floral heart into a straightforward lavender-peach accord. Fun and fresh, though shorter-lived than the notoriously variable original.

About

Summer 1872 leans into the citrus-forward opening that Clive Christian 1872 is known for, splashing lime, grapefruit and juicy pineapple over green petitgrain and bergamot for an instantly bright, mouth-watering start. Where the original's heart brings buttery freesia and jasmine, this version simplifies things into a soft lavender and peach accord cooled by a touch of rosemary. The drydown settles into clean Virginia cedar, warm amber and musk rather than 1872's more ornate labdanum-patchouli base. It's a fair, fun approximation of the citrus energy the original is loved for, though it fades faster and reads less complex in the heart and base. A good-value pick for anyone who enjoys bright citrus-aromatic fragrances for daytime wear, best suited to warmer months and casual or office settings where a clean, zesty trail is welcome.
