X For Men by Clive Christian opens with bergamot, rhubarb and pineapple, a tart, fizzy start before the weight sets in. Iris and jasmine soften the middle, and a thread of paprika adds unexpected heat. The base is where it gets serious: Virginia cedar, cinnamon, oakmoss, vetiver, amber, styrax, French labdanum and vanilla all layer in, dry and resinous rather than sweet. Launched in 2001, it's built for men who want a scent with old-fashioned density and don't mind wearing it. Voters keep it for autumn and winter, worn across day, evening and night in equal measure. Longevity voters lean toward long-lasting, and sillage voters tilt moderate rather than strong. A 10ml decant is a fair way to spend a cold month with it before buying the bottle.

The community verdict
Long-lasting wear draws the largest group for X For Men, while its projection divides between moderate and strong. Bergamot and rhubarb lead into iris and paprika, then cinnamon and cedar. It suits winter nights and also works in autumn evenings; the cinnamon may feel prominent.

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.
