Contemporary

Clive Christian Perfume Contemporary is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Contemporary opens with Violet, Pepper, Blackberry, and Geranium, settles into a heart of Cedar and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss and Malt. Clive Christian Perfume's Contemporary carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This one is a divisive and pricey gamble. While the opening blast of juicy blackberry and violet is universally praised, many find the dry-down to be a letdown, settling into a familiar, albeit high-quality, woody mossy scent. Not for everyone, and definitely sample first.

About

Contemporary kicks off with an intoxicating burst of tart blackberry and delicate violet, sharpened by a zesty hint of pepper. As it settles, the fragrance transitions into a sophisticated heart of warm nutmeg and dry cedar, eventually resting on a refined base of earthy oakmoss and a unique malt accord. It's a journey from fruity vibrancy to elegant woody depth.
