1872 for Men(2001)

At a glance

Created by Geza Schoen for Clive Christian, 1872 for Men takes its title from the founding year of the historic Crown Perfumery, which Clive Christian acquired in 1999. It opens on an elaborate citrus-herbal accord of petitgrain, lime, and lavender, moves through a heart of clary sage, freesia, and jasmine, and closes on Virginia cedar, musk, amber, and patchouli.
