Again I thought I'd reviewed this way back but obviously not! My girlfriend wore this the other night (I got her the set for Christmas...I know...I know... what a guy!;) and I'd forgotten just how much I liked 1872. Couldn't put my finger on exactly what was going on or the similarity to other fragrances I was encountering. 1872 has the sweetness of rose and white floral elements jasmine and lily of the valley without any of the negatives. It has an engaging fruitiness pineapple and berries. Musk, sandalwood, patchouli and cedar make up what is a complex and woody floral scent which is feminine but not overly so. I absolutely love this and no matter what naysayers might say about Clive Christian, the house delivers on quality in almost every respect. This lasts and lasts on her skin and is yet more magic, changing slightly each time I smell it and that's the mark of a true masterpiece in my opinion. I like the Men's version but this one is a great gift for that special lady in your life.
💚CLIVE CHRISTIAN 1872 Feminine💚 Men don’t be scared to try this one as well. Something which never was my style, a scent profile which I was thinking to be totally redundant and something which I wouldn’t enjoy. After loving so many potent and very unique perfumes I began to crave more gentle and refined scents and a couple of months ago I got obsessed with fragrances where citruses play an important role. I thought that this would never happen! This beautiful, classy, sophisticated scent is a mix of citruses and flowers in a woody base with white musk and a hint of Oakmoss. Some fruits balance the sharpness of citruses. It’s clean and fresh yet soft and gentle. The blend is complex and harmonious. I think I will match this scent with a totally white outfit - pure white lace top, blazer and loose formal pants. That mix is utterly luxurious. 🍋 Citrus notes are interspersed with the sugary elixir of Pineapple and Blueberry. 💐 Soft, velvety petals from 170 Rose de Mai Flowers make up each drop, joining a heady mix of Osmanthus, Jasmine, Purple Violet, Freesia, Orchid and Lily of the Valley. 🪵 Warm, earhty notes of Patchouli and hand-harvested Oakmoss combine with Sandalwood, Cedar wood and Musk. This is my first impression of the scent - In depth review will follow later. Thank you for reading and if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes
