CC28 Clive Christian No. 1 EDP
Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - No. 1 EDP
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.

Our Verdict - CC28 Clive Christian No. 1 EDP
CC28 gives a fair impression of No. 1's spiced-citrus opening and woody-amber depth, but inevitably loses the ultra-rich, densely-blended luxury the original is famous for, settling for a simpler, more linear woody floral.
