The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017, Clive Christian's 1872 Leather is an aromatic and woody fragrance that weaves together the traditions of its heritage with modern sophistication. The composition opens with a fresh spicy citrus blend of bergamot, petitgrain, and lime, giving way to a heart of geranium, lavender, jasmine, and clary sage. This floral-spicy middle contrasts beautifully with the smoky, warm leather base notes accented by cedar, patchouli, and incense. 1872 Leather is a proof of Clive Christian's commitment to luxury and tradition, offering an intricate blend of old-world refinement and contemporary elegance.
Apply this fragrance in moderation; its strong base notes will develop over time. The smoky and warm spicy elements are best experienced close to the skin, making it perfect for layering or wearing on cooler evenings.
