Amberwood

by Ilias Ermenidis

Clive Christian Perfume Amberwood is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Ilias Ermenidis. Amberwood opens with Angelica, Sage, Bergamot, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Woody, Patchouli, Helvetolide, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Orris, Musk, and Ambroxan. 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.

Given its musky-woody amber profile and noted strong, dense sillage by some, this scent leans towards evening and cooler weather occasions. While versatile enough for some casual wear, its luxurious feel and significant price tag make it particularly well-suited for dates and formal events.

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.
