No. 1

Clive Christian Perfume No. 1 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2001. The fragrance opens with Pimiento, Artemisia, Nutmeg, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Heliotrope, Rose, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Musk, and Cedar.

Our verdict on No. 1: Acquired

Divisive, overpriced, and often misunderstood. Clive Christian No. 1 is either a pioneering masterpiece of refined florals and woods, or a dated, powdery soap bar - there's no middle ground. Its luxury is undeniable, but so is its controversial opening.

About

An intricate tapestry of spice and citrus bursts forth, led by keen cardamom and lime. This quickly surrenders to a grand floral heart, a rich bouquet of powdery iris, lily of the valley, and jasmine. The foundation is a sophisticated embrace of creamy sandalwood and cedar, warmed by amber and a hint of vanilla, creating a lingering, opulent trail.
