Inside its verdant bottle originally designed inthe momentous year of its name, 1872 for Women houses an effervescent rose whose clean, fresh and green notes burst forth as if from a popped champagne bottle. Interestingly, for a perfume named after the past, 1872 for Women recalls nothing of rose's usual conservative and stodgy reputation. This is a young and fresh rose, with top notes such as bergamot, tangerine and lemon and a light chypre dry down of patchouli, moss, cedar, sandalwood and musk.

A sheer and fresh Rose de Mai — whose green facets are pushed to the fore by lily of the valley — glimmers at the heart of 1872 for Women. Also known as the “painter's rose, ” this precious flower blooms only for three weeks in Grasse, France, and it takes 170 heads of Rose de Mai for just one drop of 1872 for Women. With intense projection and longevity, 1872 belies its central flower's poetically short life. Hesperidic, clean and cheerful, 1872 is a jolt for the senses.

Here's what other people are saying about 1872 for Women...

Terrible! OMG, horrible smell that gave me the worst headache I ever had for the whole day. I threw away the vial. Smelled like an old cheap great-grandma powdery perfume. I had to wash my hand several times to get rid of this.

Smells like nursing home. Cheap, no longevity to the scent.

I've never written a perfume review before, but I felt so strongly that this one is not getting is due justice, I had to chime in. It is the best fragrance I've smelled to date, and I'm 45 years old. I don't have the nose to get in to the details of the notes, but I can safely say, if you like rose and/or citrus scents in general, you will love this. There is also something yummy in the base...I can't tell you what it is, but to me it comes out as something like nutmeg. I think it's theses notes that are hard to describe that make it so fantastic. It smells classic and expensive. Try it!

The fragrance is amazing. There was a cheap version of this one like 12 years ago and it gives me nostalgia... Great feminine smell for women of all ages..

Please note that this is only MY opinion of how 1872 worked on MY personal body chemistry. Now, that said, this is the worst smell ever! I have taken the worlds most expensive perfume and turned it into boiled plasticy lemon juice. Exactly as if someone boiled barbie in a vat of citrus. So bad on me...SO BAD! Literally nauseating!
