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 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.
