Which Should You Buy?
A legendary 80s powerhouse white floral that polarises opinion: some find it a gorgeous, complex masterpiece; others a dated, overwhelming floral bomb. You either adore its vibrant, unapologetic essence or dismiss it as too vintage, harking back to a forgotten era.
V by Clive Christian is a polarising beast, a dark, complex chypre that challenges expectations. It's not for the faint of heart, or those seeking a sweet floral everyday scent - expect an assertive, almost brooding character that demands attention, for better or worse.
