Clive Christian 1872 For Men

1872 for Men is one of two perfumes Clive Christian named as a tribute to the year Queen Victoria granted her crown to the revered British perfume house Crown Perfumery, acquired by the English perfumer in 1999. This citrusy and spicy chypre starts off with lime and grapefruit, combined with an intensely heady aromatic mix of petitgrain, lavender, and clary sage, creating an invigorating and luxurious blend that lifts the mood and heightens the senses. A touch of woods and pepper provides some background drama and atmosphere to these bright notes. Emperor Nero considered Clary Sage a sacred herb, and he dispensed it to his troops to get them to focus and rejuvenate before the battle. Described as a mix of neroli, lavender, musk, and ambergris, Clary Sage indeed invigorates and fortifies. If green and herbaceous is your thing, 1872 for Men will delight your senses no matter what your gender.
