1872 For Women

1872 For Women from the British house Clive Christian is a bright, abundant floral, dated 1872. Flowers dominate, with woody and citrus accords close behind and lighter sweet, green and herbal touches.

The opening is a large fruity-citrus burst: tangerine and bergamot bring zest, pineapple a juicy sweetness and rosemary a fresh herbal edge. The heart is a full bouquet led by rose and jasmine, with osmanthus adding a soft, apricot-like nuance. The base turns woody and grounded, as sandalwood gives a creamy, smooth wood while oakmoss adds a damp, earthy depth beneath a clean veil of musk.

People most often report moderate longevity, with some finding it lasts well, and the trail is generally moderate, though a minority describe it as enormous. It is voted for spring and summer and mainly for daytime, suiting smart daytime occasions, weddings and garden parties where a classic, sparkling floral fits.
