Clive Christian 1872 Men Eau de Parfum 50ml is a 2001 luxury citrus-aromatic fragrance for men, composed by perfumer Geza Schoen for one of the world's most celebrated British perfume houses. The composition pairs an exuberant fresh-aromatic top with a delicate floral heart and a richly resinous base — a refined, confident masculine signature named after the year Queen Victoria granted her crown to the original Crown Perfumery in 1872.

Character
1872 For Men opens with one of the most layered citrus-aromatic flourishes in modern perfumery — petitgrain, lime, bergamot and grapefruit lifted by lavender, rosemary and a touch of pepper, with peach, pineapple and nutmeg adding warmth. The heart leans into a refined herbal-floral mid of clary sage, jasmine, marigold and freesia, before settling into a resinous, richly textured base of cedar, patchouli, musk, amber and labdanum. The result is a polished, confident luxury masculine that wears with quiet authority.
Who it's for
This is a fragrance for men who appreciate true luxury perfumery — particularly fans of refined citrus-aromatic compositions, British heritage perfume houses and richly textured fragrances with serious depth. It's a strong choice for special occasions, evenings, business wear and date nights. Equally at home as a daily signature for those who treat fragrance as a serious wardrobe element.
How to wear it
- Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after showering for the longest wear
- Spray onto pulse points — inner wrists, neck and chest
- Two to three sprays is plenty; the EDP projects elegantly
- Avoid rubbing wrists together to preserve the complex citrus opening
- Layer with an unscented body lotion in cooler months to deepen the resinous base
