Clive Christian Perfume 1872 Mandarin is a Parfum launched in 2016, created by Beverley Bayne. 1872 Mandarin opens with Nectarine, Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Violet, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. Clive Christian Perfume's 1872 Mandarin carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a head-scratcher. It's a fresh, pleasant citrus that doesn't quite justify its price tag, leading to a divisive opinion among some, particularly around its unisex billing. You'll either shrug or be mildly annoyed.

About

Opens with an invigorating burst of mandarin and zesty bergamot, quickly sharpened by spicy ginger and a hint of green basil. The initial citrus rush mellows into a clean, aromatic heart where subtle lavender and delicate lily of the valley provide a quiet floral touch. As it settles, a foundation of earthy vetiver, rich oakmoss, and a soft musk emerges, grounding the whole affair with a sophisticated, woody dry-down.
