Clive Christian Perfume 1872 Vetiver is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Beverley Bayne. 1872 Vetiver opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lime, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Marigold, Neroli, Jasmine, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. Clive Christian Perfume's 1872 Vetiver carries a Statement verdict, a green-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.

Scent Profile

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.

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.
