Matsukita by Clive Christian opens bright and a little sharp: bergamot and pink pepper, warmed straight away by nutmeg. The heart is the interesting part, mate sitting alongside Chinese jasmine and jasmine sambac, laid over guaiac wood for a faintly bitter edge rather than a sweet one. Musk, amber, balsam fir and woodsy notes settle the finish, dry and quietly resinous. Its fresh opening turning properly woody by the end appeals to men and women alike who want real character rather than something safe. Voters wear it across spring, summer and autumn, through the day, into the office and on into evening. Longevity leans eternal in the vote, while sillage reads strong as well, holding its ground without shouting. A 10ml decant is enough to learn, over a season, whether mate and warm wood suit you.

The house
More from Clive Christian
Clive Christian is a British house whose modern collection launched in 1999, with roots in a London perfumer established in 1872. The style is rich and generous: amber, sandalwood and vanilla at the heart, bergamot, mandarin and pink pepper on top, and jasmine or rose in between. Start with X For Men, or its partner X For Women, which is fruity and sweet over woods. 1872 Masculine and 1872 For Women carry the old London date in their names. Blonde Amber is warm, woody and gently spiced, and Jump Up And Kiss Me Hedonistic adds cherry to amber and woods.
