Which Should You Buy?
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.
Dark Florum is an unapologetically bold, dark floral that's either utterly captivating or just too much. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but for those who love complex, theatrical scents with immense personality, this niche masterpiece delivers a stunning, long-lasting experience.
