Clive Christian Perfume 1872 For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2001, created by Geza Schoen. 1872 For Men 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. Clive Christian Perfume's 1872 For Men carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This is Clive Christian's take on a classic, masculine green-citrus aromatic, with fans hailing its natural quality and complexity. But don't expect beastly performance for the eye-watering price; its understated sillage and divisive "old-fashioned" character mean it's not for everyone.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

While its clean freshness makes it suitable for office wear, its refined nature and premium price point lend it to more formal settings or special occasions. The subtle sillage makes it less ideal for casual outings where a bolder statement might be preferred, and it's certainly not a sport fragrance.

About

Imagine a vibrant burst of bitter citrus - mandarin, bergamot, grapefruit, and lime - sharpened by black pepper and verdant galbanum, then softened by lavender and a hint of juicy peach. The heart unfolds with a gentle bouquet of jasmine, marigold, and clary sage, leading to a sophisticated, dry down of earthy patchouli, clean cedar, and warm amber, all underpinned by a subtle musk. It’s an aromatic odyssey from bracing freshness to refined woody warmth.
