Clive Christian Perfume 1872 Orris is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. 1872 Orris opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Cherry Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Clive Christian Perfume's 1872 Orris carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

If you're after a sophisticated scent that screams money, this is it. It's a proper grown-up fragrance that'll turn heads, but be warned, the price tag is as grand as its aroma. Utterly luxurious, even if you can only dream of owning it.

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

Its citrus, iris and woody composition leans towards spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its blend of refined florals, woods, and musks makes it exceptionally suited for formal events and evening wear, and it could easily elevate a sophisticated date night. While it's too grand for casual wear or sport, its elegant projection means it could be used sparingly in a professional office setting where a statement fragrance is appropriate.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a bright, zesty citrus burst from bergamot and grapefruit, quickly settling into a refined floral heart. Powdery iris and soft rose mingle with juicy plum, creating a sophisticated depth. The dry-down is utterly gorgeous, a creamy orris root paired with earthy vetiver, warm woods and a subtle hint of musky incense. It's rich, smooth, and incredibly well-blended, a real masterpiece of composition.
