Which Should You Buy?
A spicy, woody twist on a classic, this limited edition is a cult favourite among Clive Christian fans, who praise its luxurious feel while generally agreeing it's not a huge departure from the original. Pricey, but then you knew that already didn't you?
A modern take on woody spice that's a bit of a divisive one; some find it a sophisticated, subtle masterpiece, others dismiss it as fleeting and smelling of 'leaky ballpoint pens'. If you're after a subtle, contemporary scent, it's worth a shot, but don't expect it to last.

Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and fresh, warm spicy accords make it suitable for office and casual wear without being overpowering. The subtlety might not shine in a loud formal setting, and it’s definitely not one for the gym.
