Clive Christian Perfume 2012 EDC
V for Men
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 Iris, 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 woody-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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - winter and spring pair best.
Best Occasions
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.
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.
In standard patch-test panels
- Eugenol
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
