My collection

Clive Christian names its 1872 pair after the year the original house, the Crown Perfumery, was founded, which Queen Victoria allowed, according to the house, to bear her crown; that crown still tops every bottle.

The Original Collection

The house dates the beginnings of the Original Collection, its first line, to 1999, with several formulas and materials drawn from the archives of the Crown Perfumery. 1872 Feminine forms a pair there with 1872 Masculine, alongside the X and No. 1 pairs.

It presents 1872 Feminine as a fruity citrus floral, with crisp, fresh top notes, carried by the intense bouquet of May rose, which it considers one of the rarest materials in nature.

A perfume concentration

The house announces a perfume concentration of 20% and a formula of 146 ingredients. It offers 1872 Feminine in 50 and 100 ml and places it among its perfumes for women.
