The review
1872 scores 7.5 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing 1872 For Men.
The Dupe Spot 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.
It is sold as an eau de parfum, the strength most designer originals are sold at.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 97% less than 1872 For Men — the cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dupe Spot publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Clive Christian 1872 For Men is bergamot, lime and petitgrain at first, clary sage, lavender and nutmeg at its heart and sandalwood, cedar and musk at the end. The Dupe Spot set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
