No. 1 Clive Christian for men opens with a spiced citrus rush: nutmeg, cardamom, grapefruit and lime, sharpened by caraway and paprika, with a green edge from artemisia, and mandarin orange keeping the top juicy rather than harsh. The heart is a full floral: iris, ylang-ylang, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, heliotrope and rose, layered rather than sweet. It settles into a warm, woody base of sandalwood, amber, musk, vanilla, tonka bean, cedar and vetiver. Launched in 2001, it is worn by men who want a long list of real materials rather than one single idea. Voters keep it for winter, autumn and spring, in the evening and at night. On longevity the community vote leans toward long-lasting and eternal, and on sillage it leans strong. A 3ml decant is a fair way to try something this dense before deciding on the bottle.

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.
