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.
A lost gem from the Y2K era, Naomagic is a surprisingly mature and unique powdery vanilla floral that’s inspired a devoted following (and some rather intense longing) since its untimely discontinuation. You either get it or you don't - there's little middle ground here, and a lot of nostalgia.
