Clive Christian 1872 Masculine

Named after the year Queen Victoria granted the Crown Perfumery Company the right to adorn every bottle with a crown, 1872 Masculine is a tribute to British heritage and the art of fine perfumery. Launched in 2001 as part of the Original Collection, this woody citrus Eau de Parfum is a sophisticated, complex blend of 219 precious ingredients, including herbaceous textures, invigorating clary sage, lively black pepper and petitgrain.

The fragrance opens with a vibrant, spicy freshness: zesty grapefruit, lime, bergamot, coriander, galbanum, rosemary, black pepper, nutmeg, petitgrain and lavender create an energetic, aromatic introduction. At the heart, a bold, herbaceous accord unfolds – clary sage (inspired by Emperor Nero’s use to energise his troops) is infused with delicate jasmine, neroli and musk, adding vitality and strength. The base is a warm, woody, resinous embrace of cedarwood, sandalwood, patchouli, amber, frankincense and labdanum, leaving a long‑lasting, captivating trail.

Housed in an elegant emerald‑green bottle with a gold crown emblem, 1872 Masculine is a timeless signature for the discerning gentleman who appreciates refined British craftsmanship. With a 20% perfume concentration, it offers impressive longevity and sillage, perfect for spring and summer days.
