Clive Christian Perfume L for Men Woody Oriental With Deep Amber is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Mike Parrott. L for Men Woody Oriental With Deep Amber opens with Lemon, Mandarin, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Lavender and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Woody and Amber. Clive Christian Perfume's L for Men Woody Oriental With Deep Amber carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

A divisive one, this. Clive Christian's L for Men aims for a luxurious take on a classic oriental, but whether it truly hits the mark or veers into generic territory depends entirely on who you ask. Some find it a 'supreme aromatic oriental smoky wood', others 'lacking' and 'trash' for the price.

Its potent amber and spicy warmth, combined with a 'very old' and 'all business' character noted in reviews, makes this scent best suited for formal evening events or special occasions rather than casual wear. While strong, some experience moderate projection, keeping it out of the 'too much' category for an office setting if applied lightly.

About

L for Men kicks off with a sharp, peppery thrust, brightened by a zesty lemon-mandarin combo. This energising start quickly mellows into a heart of aromatic lavender and nuanced geranium, adding a sophisticated, slightly tailored edge. The deep amber base, along with warm woods, eventually envelops the fragrance, creating a rich, resinous warmth that some find compellingly luxurious, while others note a 'plastic' undertone.
