Clive Christian Perfume V for Men is a Cologne launched in 2012, created by Christian Provenzano. V for Men opens with Citrus and Elemi, settles into a heart of Orris, Pepper, Pink Pepper, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Frankincense. Clive Christian Perfume's V for Men carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This one's proper divisive. You'll either get an incredible, nuanced journey through incense and pepper, or a stagnant, overpriced mess. Definitely not for everyone, and certainly not a blind buy unless you're literally swimming in cash.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Winter
Also Works:
Fall

Built for the cooler edges of the year - winter and spring pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its sophisticated, deep, and occasionally intense aromatic-woody and spicy profile makes it best suited for formal events and dates, where its complexity can be appreciated. The reported moderate sillage, at times nearing skin scent, and high price tag argue against casual or office wear.

About

V for Men kicks off with a bright, zesty citrus and the balsamic spice of elemi, quickly giving way to a powerful heart of multiple peppers - pink, black, and white - interwoven with earthy orris and warm nutmeg. The dry-down reveals a deep, contemplative base of smoky vetiver, rich cedar, and profound frankincense, leaving a complex, resinous trail that's both ancient and modern.
