The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2017 by Clive Christian, a brand that reimagines the storied heritage of Crown Perfumery established in London in 1872, 1872 Twist Bergamot is an aromatic citrus fragrance for women and men. The composition opens with bright bergamot and mandarin orange, which are enlivened by rosemary and clary sage, creating a fresh spicy contrast. As the scent settles, lavender and neroli add a floral touch before patchouli rounds out the base with woody warmth.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance with a light hand — the fresh top notes are bright but fleeting. The patchouli base develops slowly, so it’s best to let the scent evolve naturally over time rather than layering on more product.
