Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No. 1 Eau de Parfum
Divisive, overpriced, and often misunderstood. Clive Christian No. 1 is either a pioneering masterpiece of refined florals and woods, or a dated, powdery soap bar - there's no middle ground. Its luxury is undeniable, but so is its controversial opening.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Craze Noir Eau de Parfum
This one's a head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a dead ringer for Pegasus, while others smell Lacoste Noir - or nothing much at all. What everyone agrees on is that it's strong and a bit of a bargain, making it a safe blind buy for those who like a gamble.

Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its potent projection and longevity, as often noted, make it less suitable for an office environment unless applied sparingly. However, its clean, warm profile shines on dates, evenings, and casual outings, offering a sophisticated yet inviting aura. It's a bit too dark and heavy for sports.
