1872 Vetiver

by Beverley Bayne

Clive Christian Perfume 1872 Vetiver is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Beverley Bayne. 1872 Vetiver opens with Pepper, Petitgrain, Galbanum, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Lavender, Jasmine, Neroli, and Marigold, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Musk. Clive Christian Perfume's 1872 Vetiver carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This one is a real gem, if you can actually find it. Lovers of complex, vetiver-led scents reckon it's heaven in a bottle, opening up beautifully over time. It's a genuine shame it's so elusive.

About

Opens with an invigorating burst of citrus and spices- grapefruit, lime, cardamom and pepper are lively and sharp. As it settles, aromatic herbs like rosemary and sage emerge, blending with a delicate floral heart of lavender and neroli. The sophisticated dry-down reveals a deep, earthy vetiver, enriched by moss, patchouli, and a subtle amber warmth, leaving a lasting, memorable trail.
