1872 Mandarin

by Beverley Bayne

Clive Christian Perfume 1872 Mandarin is a Parfum launched in 2016, created by Beverley Bayne. 1872 Mandarin opens with Basil, Nectarine, Ginger, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Lavender, Rose, Lily Of The Valley, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Musk. 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.

Its fresh, clean, and understated profile makes it a safe bet for the office or casual wear, though its lack of significant sillage might disappoint for formal events. The citrus and fresh accords lend themselves well to everyday use.

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.
