Clive Christian Perfume Amberwood is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Ilias Ermenidis. Amberwood opens with Angelica, Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Sage, settles into a heart of Helvetolide, Woody, Patchouli, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Orris, and Vanilla. Clive Christian Perfume's Amberwood carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

This one's a divisive one, often compared to the much cheaper Prada Luna Rossa Black. While some rave about its luxurious complexity and superior performance, others find it shockingly similar, overpriced, and even a bit boring. It's a high-class debate, this one.

About

Amberwood opens with a refined, aromatic blend of sage and bergamot, subtly spiced by pink pepper before settling into a heart of smooth, dry woods and a sophisticated tobacco leaf. Deeper still, a creamy, musky amber accord emerges, warmed by vanilla and tonka, and softened by powdery orris and cashmere wood. Ambroxan provides a silky, modern backdrop.
