What does 1872 Geranium smell like?
The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base: grapefruit and petitgrain give it a fresh, bitter-citrus lift, while geranium adds a green, lightly spicy edge. Cypress, vetiver and dry woods sit underneath as a dry, woody foundation. A powdery touch among the accords softens the sharpness and keeps the scent clean and tidy. Parfums de Marly Perseus and Prada Infusion de Gingembre have a close profile.
