Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Pikovaya Dama EDP
Pikovaya Dama is a proper polariser; a masterclass in aldehydic elegance for some, a vintage, soapy nightmare for others. Expect strong reactions, but never indifference from this high-performance beast.

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.
