The review

Strong contender. That is where Summer 1872 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to 1872 For Men.

Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is 1872 For Men's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $110 per 100ml it costs 77% less than 1872 For Men — the 3rd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
