Clive Christian Perfume 1872 For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1872. 1872 For Women opens with Blueberry, Bergamot, Lemon, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Violet, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Clive Christian Perfume's 1872 For Women carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This 'feminine' scent is seriously unisex, a citrus-woody powerhouse that many claim smells exactly like- CK One, but for a ridiculously higher price. Some find it a masterpiece of blending; others, a massive rip-off. It's refined and clean, if you can get past the price versus performance.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its clean, fresh, and often subtle sillage makes it ideal for office wear, with many reviews noting its inoffensive nature. While pleasant for dates or formal events, its 'non-perfumey' quality and clean character might lack the bolder impression desired for those occasions. Some reviewers also found it appropriate for the gym suggesting a wider casual appeal.

About

Opening with a brisk burst of citrus from bergamot, lemon, and tangerine, a juicy pineapple and subtle blueberry note adds a touch of sweetness. The heart unfolds into an intricate floral bouquet of rose, lily of the valley, and violet, balanced by an aromatic hint of rosemary. This sophisticated blend rests on a woody base of sandalwood, cedar, patchouli, and oakmoss, creating a clean yet earthy finish.
