The house of Clive Christian gifted the world with 1872 Mandarin in 2016. A unisex fragrance belonging to the chypre, fruit, and citrus families. Created by the skilled hands of Clive Christian and Beverley Bayne. A perfume extract — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Brand country — the United Kingdom, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of 1872 Mandarin evolves as an expressive line of development, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The style of Clive Christian is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Perfume extract keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
In the top tier you detect invigorating sunny opening notes: Basil, Bergamot, Coriander and Ginger. Exactly these 4 notes form sunny vitality that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
When the opening settles you sense Freesia, Jasmine, Lavender, Lily of the Valley, Orchid and Rose holding a velvety rose-iris direction.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Fruit with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Musc, Wood, Amber and Spicy add depth to the backdrop.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Aromatic, Citrus, Spicy and Fruit. It also reaches into Floral, Whiteflower, Green and Ambery.
In summary 1872 Mandarin holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best experienced through real development.
