Clive Christian Perfume V for Men Amber Fougere With Smoky Vetiver is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Christian Provenzano. V for Men Amber Fougere With Smoky Vetiver opens with Bergamot and Pepper, settles into a heart of Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Smoke, Amber, and Vetiver. Clive Christian Perfume's V for Men Amber Fougere With Smoky Vetiver carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast. Some find its peppery, smoky vetiver an absolute masterpiece of mature masculinity, while others are left cold by what they see as an overpriced, unremarkable scent. You'll either love its rugged sophistication or dismiss it as 'cardboard' and 'dull'.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an unapologetic blast of black pepper and a fleeting hint of zesty bergamot, quickly transitioning to the heart's star: shimmering frankincense. This resinous core then settles into a base of smooth, earthy vetiver intertwined with smoky nuances and a rich, slightly syrupy amber. It's a journey from sharp spices to a warm, woody embrace, sometimes with a 'cannabis vibe' or 'pencil shavings' lurking in the background.
