Clive Christian Perfume No. 1 Passant Guardant is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. No. 1 Passant Guardant opens with Pimiento, Bergamot, Lemon, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Clive Christian Perfume's No. 1 Passant Guardant carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Divisive and wildly expensive, No. 1 Passant Guardant is either a 'luxury disaster' or a 'sensory masterpiece'. It's not for the faint of heart or light of wallet, blending fruity sweetness with a 'gasoline and f-rt energy' vibe that some find outrageously opulent, others just outrageous.

About

An explosive opening of juicy peach and tart pineapple, spiked with pimiento and cardamom, sets a daring tone. This soon mellows into a rich, powdery heart of rose and iris, softened by creamy ylang-ylang and jasmine. The grand finale is a warm, enveloping base of benzoin, vanilla, and tonka bean, supported by earthy sandalwood and musk that lingers with surprising persistence and an undeniably luxurious weight.
